The printable form includes puppy and parent identification, purchase price, deposit credit, health records, and signature lines. Complete all details before signing. This page is for review and download; electronic signing is available for the separate deposit agreement.

1. Identified puppy and purchase price

This purchase agreement applies only to the Rottweiler identified on the transaction sheet. Before signing, both parties must complete the puppy and parent identification, price, payment credits, and delivery arrangements. If an AKC number has not yet been issued, record that status and the agreed method of providing the papers. No undisclosed charge is authorized. The prior deposit is credited toward the purchase price; the remaining balance is shown on the transaction sheet. The separate deposit agreement governs the reservation before delivery.

2. Health clearance, records, and pickup

Puppies are provided with docked tails and rear dewclaws removed where present. Before pickup, the seller will provide one DAPPL vaccination administered at 6 weeks of age, deworming, and a current Official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate), with care performed or directed by a veterinarian as appropriate. The veterinarian’s records identify the exact vaccine products, components, treatment dates, and any medically necessary exceptions. Any material change will be disclosed before delivery and handled consistently with applicable law; this clause does not excuse required care or documentation. The puppy will not be delivered before 8 weeks of age. Pickup deadlines apply only after these health conditions are met and the seller has notified the buyer and provided the documentation. Both parties will confirm a reasonable pickup date in writing. If veterinary clearance or certification is delayed, the deadline is postponed and a revised date will be agreed after clearance. The seller will provide the available vaccination, deworming, examination, and treatment records and any disclosures required by law.

3. AKC registration and registered name

AKC registration papers are provided with Limited Registration. Conversion to AKC Full Registration is available after the dog passes OFA hip and elbow testing completed at 2 years of age (24 months) and the buyer pays an additional $1,000. OFA eye testing is recommended, but is not a requirement for conversion under this agreement. The optional $1,000 fee is separate from the deposit and puppy purchase price. Full Registration is not included at pickup and is not promised before these conditions are satisfied. The buyer must provide the passing OFA hip and elbow reports to the seller. This provision does not guarantee that the dog will pass OFA testing. The puppy’s AKC registered name must include “vom Swofford.” The buyer may choose the remaining portion of the registered name, subject to AKC rules. This requirement does not restrict the everyday call name. Limited Registration means offspring are not eligible for AKC registration while that limitation remains in effect; any change to Full Registration must be processed through AKC by the authorized party. No spay/neuter requirement or co-ownership is imposed by this agreement.

4. Contact the breeder before rehoming

If the buyer can no longer keep the dog, the buyer must contact Vom Swofford Rottweilers before selling, giving away, transferring, or surrendering the dog, so the seller has an opportunity to discuss return or help arrange a suitable home. Return, transportation, and any financial terms must be separately agreed in writing. This clause does not promise a buyback, refund, or guaranteed immediate placement, and does not authorize the seller to seize the dog. An emergency must be handled in the dog’s immediate welfare interests, with notice to the seller as soon as reasonably possible.

5. No additional voluntary health guarantee

The seller does not provide an additional voluntary health guarantee beyond the express care and documentation obligations in this agreement and protections required by applicable law. No lifetime, genetic, hip, elbow, breeding, show-quality, adult-size, or temperament guarantee is offered. This is not a waiver of statutory consumer remedies, a release for misrepresentation, or a disclaimer of rights that cannot lawfully be waived. Nothing here restricts a buyer’s applicable remedies under section 828.29, Florida Statutes, or other law.

6. Buyer care and veterinary follow-up

The buyer accepts responsibility for appropriate veterinary care, nutrition, housing, training, socialization, exercise, and humane treatment after delivery. Arrange a prompt examination with a veterinarian of the buyer’s choosing and follow that veterinarian’s advice about vaccination boosters and parasite control. This recommendation does not shorten a statutory period or condition nonwaivable remedies. Contact the seller with questions or concerns; notices required by law must still be made within the applicable legal time limits.

7. Documents, signatures, and written changes

Both parties should retain the complete signed agreement, payment records, identification sheet, health certificate, and medical records. The seller will provide any separately signed consumer notice and accompanying law required for the transaction; this agreement does not substitute for such a notice. Disclose any known condition separately, with veterinary documentation as required. Changes require both parties’ written agreement. Florida law governs subject to other mandatory applicable law. Signing does not by itself establish receipt of payment or physical delivery; complete the receipt and delivery acknowledgment only when those events occur.

Questions? Contact Jeff and Katie before signing. A separate consumer notice and copy of the applicable law must also be provided when required.
