Adult Chihuahuas will take longer to adjust to their new home than a puppy would. While they are 

newspaper/pad trained to my home - they will have to be treated like a puppy and re-trained to

your home.  Most adult Chihuahuas will be unsure of you and perhaps even fearful of you/their 

new situation and they will take lots of love and patience to overcome their uncertainty and become 

a member of your family. Adults can take weeks - possibly months - to adjust to you/your home.

This dog has had age appropriate shots and wormings, which have been given by us(with the exception of Rabies, if applicable). We strongly urge you to use a Veterinarian that is highly skilled in the treatment of Chihuahuas. We are NOT responsible should an overload occur due to your Veterinarian doubting our records, which can make the dog very sick or even possibly cause death. It is agreed that the Buyer will not allow this dog to have more than one vaccine per Veterinarian visit. We do not recommend the routine use of(unless there are active cases in your area) intranasal Bordetella(Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis, Lyme and Coronavirus vaccines as there is a high incidence of negative reactions to these vaccinations in Chihuahuas. We strongly urge you to educate yourself on the dangers of over-vaccinating, multiple vaccinations, unnecessary vaccinations and also on the dangers of using monthly oral/topical medications, collars, sprays, shampoos, etc. We are NOT responsible for any vaccine overloads or any issues/reactions from any vaccines or Rx or over the counter oral/topical medications, collars, sprays, shampoos, etc.(including, but not limited to: Bravecto, Seresto, Simparica, Nexgard, Credelio, Frontline, K9 Advantix, Hartz, etc.) that you and/or your Veterinarian have chosen to do. 

The Buyer agrees to spay/neuter this animal within 3(three) months of sale(I require that proof of spay/neuter be sent to me or the dog will have to be returned to me). The Buyer understands that this dog is not intended for show or breeding and is being sold as a PET ONLY with  LIMITED  or  NO  AKC Papers. It is understood that any AKC Paperwork will be withheld until the Seller has received proof of spay/neuter by a licensed Veterinarian. The original copy, complete with full name, address & phone number of Veterinarian must be mailed to me - I will not accept an emailed, scanned or faxed copy as proof.

The Buyer understands that this dog is over 1 year of age and that NO guarantees are given or implied.

It is understood that the Seller is never responsible for any expenses incurred by the Buyer. It is also understood that ALL travel expenses TO AND FROM the Seller are the responsibility of the Buyer. 

It is understood that if at any time during the life of this dog the Buyer can not, for any reason, keep him/her, this dog must be returned to the Seller. It is agreed by the Buyer that should this dog be returned to the Seller, ALL original and updated paperwork will be returned with the dog and signed back to the Seller. It is understood that if this dog is returned to the Seller, the Buyer has no rights to reclaim the dog at a later time. If this animal just absolutely is not working out and is returned to the Seller within 90 days from the purchase date above, I will give the Buyer a credit for the original purchase price paid to use towards a future dog/puppy as long as this animal is returned in good condition and is utd on any needed vaccines/medical issues. Money will be deducted from the credit given for any needed vaccines/medical issues the Seller needs to "fix"(this does not include spay/neuter).

The Buyer guarantees that he/she will not ever use this animal for breeding or sell, lease or give this dog to a Broker, Pet Store, Puppy Mill, Back Yard Breeder, Animal Shelter, Rescue, Experimental Lab, Auction, Raffle, Contest Give-Away or any other similar

situation. If it is ever found by the Seller that the Buyer has done any of the above, the Buyer will incur a $2000.00 penalty fee for each offense found and will be obligated to pay ALL Court Costs & Attorney Fees incurred by the Seller.

The Buyer understands that the Seller wishes to stay in touch and that we enjoy getting occasional updates and pictures. We also wish 

to know if any hereditary health issues(diagnosed by a licensed Veterinarian and/or Specialist) ever arise as this may affect our breeding program.

It is understood that this dog is to live primarily inside the home. The Buyer also agrees to provide this dog with regular veterinarian care, medical attention if needed, proper grooming/ bathing, socialization, water and a premium diet. The Buyer agrees to NEVER allow this animal to run loose/unattended and the use of "underground/wireless fencing" is not ever recommended. Please remember - this subjects them to running away, getting lost/stolen, possibly getting hit by a car and/or attacked by larger dogs/wild animals. If it is 

ever found that this dog is being neglected or abused, the Seller will immediately seize this dog at NO cost to the Seller.

This contract is between the original Buyer/Seller only and applies to the original dog only - it is non-transferable to another person or to another animal.  No amendments or attachments have been made or added to this contract. It is understood that any legal matters will be conducted in the State/ County that the Seller resides.  All States are asked to accept this contract as legally binding and enforceable.

This dog is eating:  _______________________________________________________________________________________

The Buyer agrees that he/she will keep this animal on the same food we have been feeding him/her for at least 2 months as this is a major adjustment time for them and changing their food can cause diarrhea/add to any stress they may have. If you choose to change their food at a later date, please do so slowly. We recommend that you use stainless steel, glass or ceramic bowls to feed/water your dog. Plastic dog bowls can cause skin irritation and discoloration of the pigment in the dogs face. 

HYPOGLYCEMIA: Hypoglycemia is a condition in which the blood sugar level drops to an extremely low level. When levels of glucose in the blood drop rapidly, the dog's body and brain are deprived of essential nutrients. The results of hypoglycemia can be weakness, seizures, coma, and in severe cases, death. Because Chihuahuas are so small, they can be prone to hypoglycemia, especially when they are very young. Hypoglycemia is usually caused by stress, change of environment, illness, lack of food, or by using up stored energy without it being replenished. It is important to make sure that young puppies and very tiny Chihuahuas eat and rest regularly throughout the day. Symptoms to look for include vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness, pale to white gums, staggering gait, and refusal to eat. If the dog does not receive immediate treatment, it can progress into the more serious stages of this condition. Behavior such as inability to hold down food and diarrhea can become progressively worse to the point of seizures, complete unresponsiveness, and even death. The first thing recommended is rubbing some clear Karo Syrup or Nutri-cal on the gums and tongue of your chihuahua. If you suspect your Chihuahua has become Hypoglycemic, I always recommend seeking medical attention immediately. By signing below, the Buyer agrees that he/she has read and understands what to do in the event that this Chihuahua develops Hypoglycemia. The Buyer also agrees to provide Veterinary care for this Chihuahua if he/she shows any of the symptoms above. The Buyer agrees that he/she will NOT hold Pinewood Acres Chihuahuas responsible in the case that this Chihuahua develops Hypoglycemia. 

It is strongly recommended that you walk your Chihuahua with a harness instead of a collar. Excessive pulling, lunging and running out

and hitting the end of the lead can damage/collapse the trachea on a Chihuahua with a collar that is worn around the neck. Also, collars

are unsafe for an adult to wear intially as they can easily slip out of a collar and they will bolt and could possibly become lost.
