2024 Sale and Health Contract
PURCHASE: The buyer agrees to purchase from Midnight Border Collies (seller) in the amount of $1600 (sixteen hundred dollars) plus tax, non-refundable, a male or female of border collie breed. A deposit of $300 ($200 refundable) was made previously to hold a puppy so-named ___________________. The remaining $1300 (plus sales tax) was paid when puppy was picked up or shipped. The buyer will provide a registered name for his/her puppy at time of pick-up, and seller will complete registration paperwork to be mailed to the American Kennel Club. ALL puppies and adults are as accurately described as possible and are guaranteed to be healthy and "as we have represented" at the time of the sale. Any known faults will be discussed with the buyer before a puppy is purchased. If, for any reason, the owner cannot keep the puppy/dog, the puppy/dog must be returned to Midnight Border Collies at the owner's expense. Our puppies/dogs have a lifetime home here at Midnight Border Collies or will be placed with a home we choose. Our puppies are NOT SOLD FOR RESALE.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: A deposit of $300 ($200 refundable) will hold the puppy of your choice. When reserving unborn puppies, all deposits are placed on a list that is first-come-first-served by date deposit was received, and depositors are given a reserved right to transfer their deposit to another current or future Midnight Border Collie litter in the event the desired puppy is not born or is not available. This transfer still follows the "date deposit received" guidelines. Full and final payment is required on puppies that are seven weeks and older. If final payment has not been made by the time the puppy is eight weeks old the deposit will be lost. Midnight Border Collies does not refund money for purchased puppies that are not picked up or taken by their new owners. Once a puppy or dog is purchased it is the new owner’s responsibility to pick it up, provide a clean and healthy environment, and give their new pet love and attention. Again, if a puppy or adult from Midnight Border Collies cannot be cared for in this manner they will always have a home with us and must be returned at the owner's expense. We do not give refunds for buyer's remorse. It is a new owner’s responsibility to make sure they are ready for a new pet and educated in making their decision to welcome a new family member into their home. If you change your mind once you have reserved a puppy and we have moved on to the next person on the Choice list then your deposit is forfeited and is no longer refundable.
BOARDING FEE: If shipping or other arrangements are not made by seven weeks of age, or a puppy is not picked up at his/her scheduled time to leave, a boarding and maintenance fee of $50.00 per day will be added to the sale price and must be paid before the puppy leaves to his/her new home.
HEALTH: We highly recommend your puppy visit your established veterinarian within 72 hours of arriving home. All puppies are guaranteed against life- threatening hereditary or life-threatening genetic defects until one year of age. If a puppy/dog develops a life-threatening hereditary or life-threatening genetic defect prior to age one, and it is documented by a licensed veterinarian and confirmed by one of our veterinarians or a veterinarian of our choice, we will replace that puppy/dog with another puppy of equal value. No refunds will be given. The affected puppy/dog must be returned with all AKC registration and documentation to Midnight Border Collies at buyer’s expense. We will not supply a replacement puppy in the event of any problem that is not related to a life-threatening congenital defect, nor for a puppy’s illness is caused by accident, neglect, or abuse. In the event of the puppy’s death, an official autopsy must be performed to determine the cause of death. Such an autopsy must be performed by an accredited institution set up for such procedures, with all expenses to be paid by the buyer. The autopsy must accompany any request for replacement. This guarantee is void if the buyer fails to maintain recommended vaccinations and/or regular examinations with a licensed veterinarian. Proof of this maintenance must be furnished upon request of the breeder.
Puppies may be severely stressed by the change in their environment. Minor problems such as diarrhea, Coccidia may occur and must be treated. These conditions are the responsibility of you, the buyer, and if your puppy shows any signs of these conditions we strongly encourage you to have your puppy checked by a veterinarian.

Any puppy being shipped by Midnight Border Collies will have been checked by our veterinarian and issued a health certificate before shipping (fee is $60). We take every precaution to ensure the safety of all of our animals, but because we have no control over the animal once it leaves our home, Midnight Border Collies accepts no responsibility for death or illness of animals which may be brought on by/or as a direct result of shipping or exposure to other animals and environments.
