The Buyer agrees that the Breeder’s kennel prefix of “Lakaya's” will appear at the beginning of the Great Danes registered name on the AKC registration certificate. This is to help future identify our line when looking at a pedigree.

The Buyer agrees to keep this Great Dane as a household pet, never to be chained outside, tied to a stake or trained as a guard or attack dog.  Buyer agrees that puppy/dog will never be left to run, rome at large without supervision. Care is to be taken when the Great Dane is on slippery surfaces and on or near stairs.  Also, the Great Danes weight is to be kept to a minimum until he/she is full grown.  Buyer also agrees to enroll this Great Dane in a dog obedience class or conformation class.

If the Buyer is ever charged or convicted of animal abuse or cruelty by any state, local or federal agency, or the AKC, or is convicted of violating any AKC rule or regulation, the Buyer forfeits all rights to this Great Dane and will immediately remand custody of this Great Dane to the Breeder along with the Great Danes AKC papers.  Buyer will not receive any refund of monies paid to the Breeder.  Under no circumstances is this puppy to be sold, leased, or given away to a Pet Store, Laboratory, Research Facility, or Animal Shelter. 

The Breeder warrants that this Great Dane is in excellent health and free of any communicable diseases as far as it appears to the eye. The Buyer is required to take the Great Dane to a veterinarian of their choice within 72 hours of the purchase date for a health check-up.  If the veterinarian finds the Great Dane not to be healthy or sound, a detailed statement from the veterinarian must be supplied to the Breeder. Lakaya Danes will replace the puppy when a replacement puppy becomes available within 2yrs.

The Breeder does not guarantee against conditions brought on by stress or environmental changes that we cannot control once the puppy leaves our care; therefore our guarantee does not cover; hypoglycemia, parasites, giardia, viral or bacterial infections.  We do not guarantee against parvo, coccidiosis, distemper, mycoplasma, brucellosis, or corona virus because these are highly contagious disease that can be contracted immediately upon leaving our property including in transit. 

The Breeder has made every effort to reduce the risk of genetic health problems.  The Breeder guarantees the Great Dane against hip and elbow dysplasia and any life threatening genetic disorder for 24 months. Should a defect be found, Buyer shall provide the Breeder with two different veterinarian’s certificates stating defect, x-rays and a full up to date medical history.  The Breeder reserves the right to have a veterinarian of their choice give a second opinion at Breeder’s expense.  Should the results be the same, the Buyer is:
A)	Entitled a replacement Great Dane of equal value with return of this Great Dane, or 
B)	Keep this Great Dane and submit to the Breeder proof of spay/neuter surgery and may purchase another show/breeding potential Great Dane at the pet price.   
C)	If this Great Dane must be euthanized, the Breeder must give a written letter of agreement to the Buyer to euthanize this Great Dane then the Buyer shall provide the Breeder with a letter stating that the Great Dane has been euthanized and then the Breeder will replace the Great Dane.

All guarantees will be null and void if the Great Dane has been bred.

The Buyer agrees that this Great Dane will not be bred unless all genetic screening tests are completed and clear, including Hips, elbows, eyes, heart and Thyroid. The Great Dane is a good representative of the breed, and the mate chosen also meets this criterion.

In the event that the Buyer can no longer keep the Great Dane, and the Breeder is dead, incapacitated, or otherwise unavailable, the Buyer agrees to relinquish the Great Dane to an authorized agent of the Great Dane Club Of America, Rescue Division, for care and placement of the Great Dane into a new home. If, for any reason, the Buyer can no longer keep the Great Dane, ownership will revert to the Seller, with no cost to the breeder in any way along with its AKC registration /certificate, this is so we can find proper placement and keep our puppies off the streets and out of shelters, Under no circumstances is this Great Dane to be transferred to another owner.  In the event that the Great Dane is placed with a third party without Breeders consent, instead of being returned to the Breeder, the principle Buyer does hereby acknowledge and agree to reimburse the Breeder in full for any and all expenses in retrieval of the Great Dane, including transportation and any and all reasonable cost involved.

The Buyer agrees to notify the Breeder of any and all changes of address and phone number.  It is the Breeder’s wish to remain in close contact with the Buyer and to have updates on the Great Dane’s progress as often as possible.  The Buyer is encouraged to call or email the Breeder with any problems or questions that they may have in raising their Great Dane.

It is understood that these conditions are set forth for the welfare and protection of the puppy and the Great Dane breed involved, as well as for the two parties, Buyer and Breeder.  Failure on the part of the Buyer to comply with this contract will render the Buyer liable to the Breeder for the cost thereof, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, plus $5000.00 in liquidated damages for damages to the Breeders kennel name and reputation, and the Breeders time, trouble, and mental duress.

Purchaser agrees to stay in regular contact with Lakaya Danes for the life of the dog and provide regular updates and pictures

Your puppy will lose the immunity it received from its mother’s milk at around the age of 6 weeks. It is imperative that your puppy receives its entire series of vaccinations before leaving the safety of your yard. You are strongly cautioned against the temptation to take your puppy to the park, baseball field, soccer field, etc… where it could potentially contract a deadly disease that could be very detrimental to its health, as well as very costly to you.  When you take your new puppy to the Vet, it is very important to hold your puppy in your arms. A Vet sees sick dogs all day long and sick dogs can make you puppy sick.

Thank you for adopting one of our puppies I hope they provide you with as much joy as they have us!
