8.

The BREEDER/VENDOR guarantees that this dog is neither innately shy nor aggressive. Wariness and caution towards new people, places and events is a normal breed characteristic of the Shetland Sheepdog; a temperamentally sound dog may exhibit hesitation and uncertainty but should quickly adapt to new surroundings. Should the BUYER question the temperamental soundness of this dog, he/she must so inform the BREEDERIVENDOR within ONE WEEK of receiving it. Unless the BREEDER/VENDOR deems the problem to be one of improper handling, she will replace the puppy with another of equal value or re-purchase the puppy from the BUYER;

2. To provide a safely enclosed outdoor exercise area for this dog, such as a securely fenced yard, kennel run or exercise pen where the dog may be safely left unsupervised for short periods of time, and under no circumstances to allow this dog to roam at large;

3. If this dog is a puppy, to train it sufficiently for it to mature into a well-mannered canine citizen who will be an ambassador for its breed rather than a public nuisance, and to exercise responsible supervision of this dog;

4. To allow the BREEDER/VENDOR first refusal to either re-purchase this dog or to find a suitable home for this dog should it become necessary that this dog be sold or given away. The BUYER(S) further agree(s) not to give or sell this dog, nor any get of this dog, to any pet shop, puppy mill or animal wholesaler;
