Puppy Back Agreement
This form is for the sale of one of our adults in exchange for a puppy back.

The Seller in this agreement is Lilac Blossom Yorkies, owned and operated by Tara Williams of Walden, New York, the owner of the adult dog being sold (the "Dog").
Section 2: PUPPY BACK AS PAYMENT
The Buyer is paying for the Dog by providing a puppy back to the Seller, as described in this agreement.
Section 3: SELLER REQUIREMENTS
The Seller requires that the puppy back be a female. The Seller will take second pick from the first litter the Buyer produces from the Dog. If the first litter has only one female, the Seller may instead take first pick from the second litter the Buyer produces with the Dog. If there is no living female in the second litter, the Seller will pick a male puppy from that litter.
Section 4: SECOND PICK DEFINED
For this agreement, "second pick" means the Seller's favorite puppy in the litter, other than the one puppy the Buyer chooses as the best puppy in the litter.
Section 5: FIRST PICK DEFINED
For this agreement, "first pick" means the puppy in the litter that the Seller prefers above all others.
Section 6: BUYER OBLIGATIONS
The Buyer will show the Seller every puppy in the litter before the Seller makes the pick.
Section 7: SELLER OBLIGATIONS
The Seller will make a timely pick after being shown all of the puppies, on whatever schedule the Buyer prefers, from the day of birth up to the age at which the Buyer sells puppies to other customers.
Section 8: IF THE PICK PUPPY DIES
If the puppy the Seller picked dies before pickup, the Seller and the Buyer agree that the Seller may choose another puppy that has not already been promised to another customer, or take a puppy from the Buyer's next litter.
Section 9: QUALITY OF THE PUPPY BACK
The puppy back is taken as is. The Buyer gives no guarantee about the health or breeding soundness of the puppy the Seller picks.

The Buyer will provide the Dog with adequate care, shelter and food.
