The buyer is responsible for returning the puppy and all papers (registration, Shot record) to the seller.

Section 12 - Hypoglycemia Discloser

Hypoglycemia is a life-threatening condition to a dog when their blood sugar drops too low and can be caused by a lack of eating. When a puppy is taken to a new home it may become stressed and choose not to eat because of it, even when food is actively given. It is the burden of care to the new owner to be mindful of this and watch for symptoms and treat accordingly. The most common symptoms of Hypoglycemia include, lethargy, vomiting, disorientation, white gum tissue, weakness and possibly even seizures. An easy way to check for low blood sugar is to check the gum tissue of the puppy. The tissue around and above the teeth should be a healthy coral pink color. If the gum tissue is white then the puppy needs immediate intervention. If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above you need to take immediate action. A simple way to boost the blood sugar of the puppy is to place a few drops of honey on your finger and put it on the roof of the puppies mouth, forcing it to ingest it and boost the sugar levels. You can also repeat this process with canned wet dog food such as a Royal Canin Puppy Appetite Stimulator found at pet stores. Small Yorkie puppies generally eat very little but eat frequently. Typically every 3-6 hours they will eat during waking hours. If it has been 6-8 hours, and you know that the puppy has not eaten, you need to encourage it to eat with honey, appetite stimulator, kibble, or your preferred puppy food. By signing this document you are acknowledging your awareness of hypoglycemia and that the breeder has made every effort to help prevent this life-threatening event. If any veterinarian bills are incurred due to hypoglycemia they are the responsibility of the buyer. If the puppy dies due to hypoglycemia, no refund or replacement puppy will be given.
