Terms of Sale:  

Upon Expiration of NYS GBS Article 35D Section 753, the following applies:

1) Puppies are guaranteed to be free of all communicable diseases at the time of sale. Puppies will be checked by a licensed Vet, in good health with shots and worming to date. Puppies will also be microchipped and the buyer is responsible to register the microchip. The Buyer must have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian within 14 days of purchase, 72 hours is strongly suggested. Failure to do so will result in all guarantees being invalid. Seller accepts no responsibility for any communicable diseases after this time.  

2) If, during the above examination, a serious health problem is noted, Seller must receive a written statement from Buyer’s veterinarian within seven (7) days from date of examination. Upon verification by Seller’s veterinarian of stated health problem, puppy must be returned to Seller at Buyer’s expense. When available, the Buyer will be provided with another puppy of the same sex and quality/value when such puppy becomes available.  

3) Often when the pups go to their new homes, they undergo quite a bit of stress due to the change. That stress can cause their immune system to drop slightly. If there are any microscopic parasites or eggs lying dormant in their system, they see this as an opportunity to multiply. The best of care is given to the pups, but sometimes the tiny little critters can lie dormant in their system, allowing them to “hide” from the medicine or treatment, only to reappear at a later time. Diarrhea is the usual result of a coccidia or a giardia infection. If your pup has watery diarrhea for more than 2 days, it is recommended that you drop a fresh stool sample with your Vet, so that a smear can be obtained. Your Vet will then prescribe you the appropriate antibiotic which will likely need to be administered for a week. The Seller treats all the puppies for the removal of microscopic parasites, worms, fleas, and ticks before leaving the premises. By signing this contract it is agreed that such nuisances are common to puppies and the Seller is in no way responsible for treatment, expense or any liability of the following: Giardia, Coccidia, worms, fleas, ticks, or ringworm. 

4) Puppies are guaranteed to be free of any birth defects. Problems must be reported within 24 months from date of birth. After puppy is 24 months old, the Seller is no longer responsible for replacing the puppy/dog. Please contact Seller with any problems, as this will aid in our attempt to improve with future litters.  

5) All puppies are guaranteed to be free of severe crippling defects up to 24 months old. If a severe hereditary condition is present before 24 months old, that severely lowers your pup’s quality of life; another puppy will be given to you free of charge, when available. Written verification from Buyer’s veterinarian, along with his contact information is necessary. Seller’s veterinarian must agree with diagnosis and severity or replacement is not required.  In this event, the dog need not be returned to Seller in order to receive a replacement.

6) Penn HIP evaluations are required if there is a hip problem (HD). Seller does not accept OFA results as sound proof of a hip problem. Penn HIP results of MODERATE or SEVERE HD will warrant a replacement pup. If the Penn HIP result shows MILD HD, the puppy is only replaced if it was bought as breed/show quality. If Buyer chooses to keep the defective puppy, proof of sterilization (spay/neuter) must be provided and registration papers must be returned to seller before replacement will be given. If pup has ever been bred, all guarantees are invalid. Only one replacement is given, regardless of circumstances. The Seller will select replacement puppy when available. A Cane Corso pup who spends much of his time in a crate will not have the hip guarantee as proper exercise is equally important for proper growth and development. Buyer will also take care not to overexert the puppy until fully developed.  

7) Under no circumstance does seller grant cash refunds or accept any liability for medical expenses, veterinarian fees or any other expenses related to the care of your Cane Corso.  

8) At Casanova Cane Corso, we have done everything to produce stable-minded puppies, both in breeding and early socialization. However, no guarantees are made regarding temperament.

Buyer agrees to enroll puppy in Puppy Kindergarten class at 3 months of age and Basic Obedience by 10 months of age with a certified trainer in a class setting. It is also recommended that you enroll your dog in a refresher course at 18 months. Under no circumstances should rough training methods be used on your Cane Corso. Proper socialization and training is a must for your puppy.  

9) Puppies will carry the Casanova name; this will be reflected on their registration papers.  The name should appear as “Casanova’s ______.”

10) Registration papers will reflect limited registration for all puppies unless purchased as a show potential dog (co-ownership contract required). This means the dog is NOT to be bred. ONLY DOGS PURCHASED ON FULL REGISTRATION, ON A CO-OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT, AS SHOW POTENTIAL PUPPIES MAY BE BRED.
