Under these circumstances, Buyer MUST contact Seller within three (3) days of any diagnosis or health concerns. Buyer shall be in constant contact with Seller throughout treatment of puppy.

Spay and Neuter Contract
1. The seller requires waiting until at least 16 months of age for spay/neuter as early spay/neuter has been found to increase the risk of joint disorders, impact on urinary health, and increases cancer among other things. Females, in addition to being at least 16 months of age must have gone through at least one heat cycle. The heat cycles for females releases hormones that are beneficial for bladder maturity as well as joint health and overall development. Early spay/neuter before 16 months of age (both males and females) & prior to females first heat voids Health Guarantee.
A. The Buyer must supply the Seller with documentation of spay and neuter veterinarian records and bills. If the Seller does not receive this the warranty will become null and void.
B. It is understood that at the time of sale that the puppy is not to be used for breeding. It is a representation of its breed and it is structurally and temperamentally suited for a companion and/or working dog. It is being sold as a pet without breeding rights. Bubbling Springs Doodles' puppies are sold on a STRICT NON-BREEDING contract. Therefore, Buyer agrees to have their puppy spayed/neutered after age of 16 months. Buyer must send proof of procedure to Seller via email or regular mail. Upon execution of this contract as outlined above will terminate your Health Warranty, will be assessed a penalty that is 15 times the purchase price of the puppy, and will forfeit all income and any resulting puppies as a result of breach of contract. Any legal fees incurred by the Seller to enforce this non breeding contract are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

In this case, no penalty fee will be charged to Buyer; however, Seller reserves the right to work with Buyer to market and sell the resulting puppies and claims all profit associated with such.
