• Buyer agrees that under no circumstances shall Show Dog/Bitch be used for breeding purposes until Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Certification of hips has been received or without an ophthalmologist's clearance within a year preceding the breeding. Buyer will forward a copy of OFA Certification and CERF Certification to Seller upon receipt. If Buyer violates this condition all guarantees are  null and void. Seller strongly recommends that thyroid gland also be checked and certified. OFA provides certification for thyroid. The Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) provides certification of eyes.

• Seller retains the right of first offer of purchase should the Buyer decide to sell Show Dog/Bitch for any reason at a later date. Buyer will notify Highlander in writing. Purchase price shall be no more than the price paid to the seller on the above date. If this Show Dog/Bitch is sold, this contract becomes null and void. Highlander must be notified as to where the Show Dog/Bitch goes. (this is for record keeping as well as assuring that all pups are in happy healthy homes)
• Should Show Dog/Bitch develop any disqualifying faults as defined in the Siberian Husky Standard, or be diagnosed with any genetically derived medical disorder which is attested to by two unassociated veterinarians, thereby causing Buyer and Seller to agree that Show Dog/Bitch cannot ethically be bred, Seller will, upon provision of veterinary reports and, where applicable, Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) report, or Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) certification, replace the Show Dog/Bitch with one of equal or greater value, when one is available.

• All shipping costs for dogs replaced for any reason will be the responsibility of the Buyer.
• This dog’s registered name shall contain Highlander at the beginning of the name, no other prefix or suffix will be used unless written permission from Highlander is obtained.
• If, by the time the Show Dog/Bitch is 24 months old it does not appear to be of show/breeding quality, the seller will, upon receipt of a veterinarian's certificate of sterilization, provide a replacement puppy of show/breeding quality when one is available.  The determination of quality is to be made by the seller or by a person or persons appointed by the seller.  This determination may be based in part on the dog's show record.
• No other guarantee is given except in the case of a hereditary or congenital defect which develops to the extent it renders the dog unsuitable as a pet.  In this instance a replacement will be given when one becomes available.
• The Buyer agrees to show this puppy for conformation and, if possible, to the completion of its AKC & CKC championships, at the expense of the Buyer.
