This contract is valid for the original purchaser of the dog from Blue Chi’s Ranch (Seller). If the dog is transferred to another owner then this contract is null and void, as Seller has no way of knowing how the dog is cared for or who the puppy is placed with. Buyer also must return signed copy of this contract in order for it to be valid with in 5 days from acquiring said puppy. _____Initials

I agree to e-mail the dated Vet report stating the puppies current health condition and a copy of the invoice showing procedures and care provided by vet to the breeder as proof of exam, the day of the exam. If breeder is not provided with report and invoice showing procedures and care provided, this contract is null and void. _____Initials

This puppy is registered with AKC and is sold with a Full/Limited registration status. Blue Chi’s Ranch has made every effort to provide you with a healthy puppy and guarantees that all vaccinations and dewormings are current at time of sale. A vaccination record will be provided as verification of events. _____Initials

It is Buyers responsibility to have this puppy examined by a licensed Veterinarian of their choice within 2 business days of taking possession of this puppy. If the puppy is found to have a life threatening congenital defect (heart, kidney, lung) or health problem at this exam, a replacement puppy of equal value will be given if available, if there is not a puppy available, then a 100% refund will be given, provided the seller is contacted immediately (within 24 hours) after the exam, and this puppy is promptly returned to the Seller with the Original Registration. _____Initials

Seller is not responsible for illness or health problems that are diagnosed after this period. _____Initials

If you or your Vet give Nasal Bordetella instead of Injectable Bordetella or Bordetella is given before __________, this contract is null and void. Pre-medicating with Cortisone and Benadryl prior to the vaccines is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Although we try to predict grown size and color, we do not guarantee either. I Do Not Guarantee: bites, (can go off at teething) ears (during the teething stage, which can last a few months, the ears may go up and down. They may also go up and down several times during one day. Taping the ears can be helpful and should be done if you are concerned that they will not become erect), Molera (have or not), testicles, (can take 7 months to drop all toy breeds can be this way), fertility, patellas, hernias, calcium drops or blood sugar drops, size when full grown, color of coat, or quality of coat (blue’s can really go into the uglies in coat from the time they lose their puppy coat until the adult coat comes in, their coat can look very poor, this may take 12 to 14 months. This can also apply to other colors also, some after they lose the puppy coat. My dogs do not have skin problems or allergies. I do not guarantee against allergies or skin problems. (Allergies can be caused by, your type of grass, dog food (corn is the most common) , soaps, new home carpet, cedar and pine chips, bug killers on your lawn or in your home, etc.) Seller does not guarantee that the dog sold with open AKC papers, will be show or breeding quality, free whelping (meaning. it "may" on occasion, require a cesarean section), or that both testicles will drop. Do not buy a puppy if you want bite, ears, size and testicles guaranteed and do not pick a show prospect out of the nursery and want a guarantee that the pup will be a show dog. If you want guarantees for bite, ears, testicles and a show prospect then a show contract will be required. Seller also does not guarantee against Coccidia/Giardia - many puppies are prone to outbreaks of either coccidia and/or giardia under stressful circumstances. The symptoms can arise in a 12 hour period, and cannot always be prevented by the seller, because there are no signs until the puppy is stressed, and their immune system drops. All precautions have been made, but the buyer should take the puppy to the vet immediately if puppy develops unusual stool, begins vomiting, or has loss of appetite. Collapsing Trachea - this is a common thing in Chihuahuas when they get excited, and has not been found to impose a health risk, but can be somewhat annoying to some people. _____Initials

Revised 2/3/2010 (Paragraph added regarding copyright of digital images)

Hypoglycemia

This is a central nervous system disorder caused by low blood sugar. It

occurs mainly in Toy Breeds, between 6 and 12 weeks of age. Stress is the

leading cause.

The signs are those of listlessness and depression and are followed by

muscular weakness, tremors (especially the facial muscles) and later,

convulsions, coma and death. The entire sequence is not always seen and

may simply appear to be depressed, or he may be wobbly, jerky and may go

into a coma.

Hypoglycemia can occur without warning, when a puppy is placed into a

new home, or while being shipped. Symptoms might appear after a puppy

misses a meal, chills or becomes exhausted from too much playing or has

a digestive upset. These upsets place an added strain on the energy

reserves of the liver and bring on symptoms (if the dog is susceptible).

Treatment

Begin at Once! Treatment is directed at restoring blood levels of glucose.

Give the puppy a mouthful of Nutri-Cal (Canine Supplement). If he

cannot swallow it all at once, it will begin to absorb under the tongue and

should start bringing him back to a conscious state so that will be able to

swallow the rest. When he can swallow, give him water (about 1 cc at a

time so he doesn't choke). Continue to give him Nutri-cal and water about

every 10 minutes until he is conscious and moving about. CALL US

IMMEDIATELY!! If we cannot be reached call your Veterinarian. If the

puppy does not respond, call your Veterinarian immediately!! The puppy

will need Sub-Q injections of lactated ringer's solutions every 4 hours for

about 2 days for hydration. He may also need some antibiotic to combat

secondary infections that can arise from the lowered immune system

that results form hypoglycemia.

If you do not have Nutri-cal (canine supplement) you can temporarily

substitute this with honey or syrup until you can purchase Nutri-cal.

As soon as the puppy begins to recover, give him some canned food and

try to get him to eat. You will also need to begin some Pepto-Bisol to help

him from getting bad diarrhea. The large dose of Nutri-Cal or syrup will

probably cause some diarrhea to occur, but is usually self limiting.

To prevent recurrent attacks make sure the puppy eats at regular

intervals. He should have dry food available at all times and should be

fed canned food at least 2 times a day. A daily vitamin should be given,

(Nutri-Cal 1 cc 2 or 3 times a day) also cottage cheese or yogurt can be

added to the diet.

Owners of toy puppies should not allow them to become overtired or

chilled. Play time should be limited and controlled to prevent undue

stress and tiring. Hypoglycemia must be offset by frequent feedings. A

puppy who does not eat frequently, for whatever reason is heading for

trouble.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE AGAINST THIS CONDITION.

Each puppy will go home with a tube of Nutri-Cal.

I have read and understand.

Vaccine & Bordetella Reactions

Distemper Parvo LA and Corona Virus Vaccine

Although these vaccines are safe and effective, occasionally pets may experience one or more of the following conditions due to vaccines. Chihuahuas however being so small are more likely to have a reaction than a larger dog. Please keep a very close eye on your pet after they have received vaccines. If your Chihuahua exhibits any of these symptoms, give them a little Nutri-Cal every few hours to ensure that they do not become Hypoglycemic and call your Vet immediately!

Mild lethargy

Muscular soreness - If pre-medicated with Cortisone this should not happen!

Decreased appetite

Mild Fever

Mild vomiting or diarrhea

These mild reactions usually do not last more than 24 hours. If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms please call your Vet immediately do not wait to see if they go away!

Rarely, pets may experience more serious conditions soon after vaccination.

Swelling of the face or ears - If pre-medicated with Benadryl this should not happen!

Hives or significant itching - If pre-medicated with Benadryl this should not happen!

Difficulty breathing - If pre-medicated with Benadryl this should not happen!

Significant lethargy

Significant vomiting or diarrhea

Fluid build up or infection at the injection site

If your pet exhibits any of these signs, bring him to your Vet immediately! He or she may need medication to treat the reaction. Please contact your local Emergency Veterinary Service if a problem occurs after your Vet’s regular business hours.

Occasionally, pets that have received injectable vaccinations develop a localized reaction indicated by a small, hard lump under the skin where vaccines were administered (usually anywhere from dime to quarter size). Please have your Vet recheck your pet if this occurs. These lumps may take 1-3 weeks to appear and 2-6 weeks to resolve. They usually do not require treatment.

Rabies

Very seldom, pets that have received a rabies vaccination may develop a small bald spot over the vaccination site. Please contact your Vet if this occurs. These spots are merely cosmetic and may be permanent in rare cases. Treatment may help reduce this possibility.

Bordetella

Pets receiving the nasal drop form of Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccination may experience a upper respiratory reaction approximately 3 days later and as early as 24 hours. Again this is a general statement made about dogs. Chihuahuas are more likely to become sick from the nasal Bordetella than the injectable. My personal experience with Chihuahuas has been that 9 out of 10 times the nasal Bordetella has been administered, they come down with Kennel Cough. Since I have elected to have injectable Bordetella administered, I have not had one Chihuahua get sick with Kennel Cough. Chihuahua puppies can get very sick , very fast from the nasal Bordetella. If you notice them being letharic or sneezing after the Bordetella vaccination call your Vet immediately and give Nutri-Cal so they do not become Hypoglycemic! Your Chihuahua will need to put on antibiotics immediately.

I have read and understand.
