APPENDIX
“A”
TEMPERAMENT
(NOT MAN MADE)
What is correct Shiloh Shepherd
Dog Temperament? The word Temperament in relation to general application
denotes character, sensitivity, discrimination, spirit and intellect.
It may mean the absence or presence of one or more of these psychological
traits. The true Shiloh Shepherd must be an animal, fit in body
and mentally be a devoted and suitable companion to his owners.
He should have the potential ability to do the essential work
of which the breed was created. The Shiloh Shepherd can have a
kind and sweet disposition, and still be protective. He must be
alert and eager to please his master and be a willing worker when
properly trained. Poor temperament can be a hereditary fault or
man-made. Environment can influence eventual temperament to a
large degree, particularly as it is applied to early puppy experience.
Such a temperament fault can be corrected with kindness, patience
and training. Intense early socialization and puppy kindergarten
training is mandatory toward proper development and is a prerequisite
to the fulfillment of this contract.
PLEASE NOTE: The enclosed
Nutritional Agreement.
Faults of personality that
cannot be repaired are a result of hereditary influence and are
permanent. If the following type of bad temperament is present,
the puppy must be returned to the breeder and registration papers
signed over. Another puppy of correct temperament shall be given
as a replacement.
A. OVERLY SHARP OR VICIOUS
- This overbearing bully mistrusts everyone and intensely dislikes
strangers and other dogs. Such an animal is extremely dangerous
and is generally under sensitive to bodily discomfort or pain.
This animal is extremely difficult to control and refuses to
accept any type of correction without retaliation.
B. SHARP-SHY OR FEAR-BITER
- This animal, if cornered, will urinate and often bite out
of fear and sheer panic. He is noted for carrying his tail tucked
under his belly while growling and snapping at anyone that attempts
to approach him. He spends his life trying to either escape
from the world or destroy it, but is unable to adjust to living
“in” it.
C. SHY OR OVERSENSITIVE
- This pathetic creature is frightened of strangers, loud noises
and new situations. He proceeds to “spook” or “bolt”;
retreating without provocation. He is simply a coward. He is
noted for literally “shivering” or trying to escape
under or into a small dark place when approached by a friendly
stranger. He will constantly urinate and cower if subjected
to any type of mild correction by anyone.
Very mild degrees of the
above type of temperament faults are often due to lack of varied
experiences with strangers and new activities. Do not be neglectful
or over protective of your pup, share him with others, as it will
make a well adjusted citizen of him! Socialization is very critical
during the first 18 months of your puppy’s life - be sure
that you are not creating a problem that will eventually cause
misery for years to come. Rising Star Shilohs will not be responsible
for any puppy that has been improperly trained or socialized.
Rising Star Shilohs also reserves the right to fully examine all
aspects pertaining to environmental dysfunctions as related to
said puppy’s formative year - at owner’s expense.
Furthermore, Rising Star Shilohs reserves the right to have this
puppy evaluated at an approved kennel, for not less than 90 days,
at owner’s expense, to determine the validity of said disorder,
whether it was created through environmental stimuli, and there
by can be improved, or if indeed it is proven to be inherited
genetic defect.
________________________________________
HIP
DYSPLASIA
Hip Dysplasia is a congenital
malformation of the ball and socket joint of the hip. The problem,
not an exclusive canine disorder, exists in most domestic species
- including man. Depending upon the severity of the disease, the
dog may or may not become lame. Many affected dogs lead normal
lives. The Sire and Dam of your puppy have both been x-rayed and
diagnosed as normal by qualified veterinarians in the field. Nevertheless,
this ailment is considered a hereditary trait with irregular penetrance.
Meaning normal parents are capable of producing abnormal offspring.
It has also been proven in various recent studies that, to a large
degree, environmental factors play a major role in the development
of hip dysplasia. In order to maintain the excellent hip records
associated with the Shiloh Shepherds, we insist that you follow
the feeding program prescribed by Rising Star Shilohs. Failure
to do so will invalidate this guarantee. Your puppy is, therefore,
covered as follows:
A. GOLD PAPERED - SHOW/BREEDING
PROSPECT: Since this puppy has been purchased with the intent
of being used as a future stud or brood bitch, it is fully guaranteed
to OFA at three (3) years of age. In the event his/her x-rays
are not approved for certification, even though a “border
line” problem is apparent, the said dog may be returned
to Rising Star Shilohs for replacement. The dog, when returned
to Rising Star shilohs, must be accompanied by all health papers,
feeding and exercise information and x-rays. In addition, the
ISSR registration for the dog must be signed back to the breeder.
When these conditions have been met and a puppy of equal value
is available, replacement will be made. This puppy is further
guaranteed against genetic hip problems prevalent to any of
its littermates, making it suitable for breeding purposes. In
the event Rising Star Shilohs discovers this to be the case,
the said dog may be returned to the breeder, as described above,
and a suitable replacement shall be made.
B. ORANGED PAPERED - SHOW/BREEDING
PROSPECT: This puppy is fully guaranteed to meet all of the
ISSR requirements for permanent registration and to pass an
OFA rating by three (3) years of age. No further littermate
or breeding guarantee is provided.
C. BLACK/WHITE PAPERED
- PET QUALITY: All puppies are fully guaranteed against crippling
hip dysplasia for up to two (2) years. Any puppy found to be
severely dysplastic and unable to function as a household pet,
must be properly diagnosed by at least two (2) veterinarians
to that effect. The dog must be returned to the breeder accompanied
by complete x-ray, health, feeding, care and exercise records.
In addition, the dog’s ISSR registration must be signed
back to the breeder. When these conditions have been met and
a puppy of equal value is available, replacement will be met.
Any puppy sold with a spay/neuter
agreement and discounted in price as per Policies & Price
sheets will only be guaranteed as a Pet Quality. The final disposition
of any dog found to be dysplastic would be entirely up to Rising
Star Shilohs. The breeder may agree to allow the owner to keep
the said dog, if neutered or spayed, or it may be decided that
the dog must be destroyed. In either case, the ISSR registration
must be signed back to the breeder and returned with all other
requested records and information.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL
ANY PUPPY BE REPLACED IF COMPLETE, DETAILED RECORDS AND THE PUPPY
ITSELF ARE MADE UNAVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION TO THE BREEDER OR TO
SOMEONE DESIGNATED BY THE BREEDER FOR THAT PURPOSE.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL
CASH BE REFUNEDED AT ANY TIME, NOR WILL A PUPPY OF GREATER VALUE
BE GIVEN AS REPLACEMENT. This guarantee MUST be presented at the
time of replacement as proof of purchase, quality said puppy is
guaranteed for actual purchase price. If a replacement puppy in
your category is not immediately available, another puppy of greater
value from a different category may be purchased with the credit
for your returned puppy applied to same.
________________________________________
RISING STAR SHILOHS hereby
reserves the right to REFUSE replacement of any dog returned for
temperament or hip problems caused by owner abuse and/or negligence!
Any puppy that is kept grossly
overweight, has received unauthorized over supplementation or
has NOT received the required supplements, as specified by the
breeder, or has been kept unchecked for worm infestations, etc.,
or dog has been kicked downstairs, kept constantly confided to
cold, damp basements, or required to do extreme physical activities
(such as high jumps and scaling walls) during their “growth
period” will develop hip problems. A dog kept totally unsocialized,
beaten and tortured will also develop “temperament”
problems. These “man-made” problems which are not
caused by hereditary defects are NOT the responsibility of the
breeder. Rising Star Shilohs further reserves the right to examine
any questionable conditions pertaining to said puppy’s health
and welfare at the owner’s expense. Rising Star Shilohs
reserves the right to request proper validation from the owner,
via puppy class certification, food and vet receipts, etc. that
the standards of this guarantee were upheld to their fullest.
________________________________________
GOLD
- SHOW QUALITY
Only puppies sold as Gold-Show
Breeding prospects and priced at $2500.00 or more will further
be covered as follows:
A. HANGING EARS - The
time of development at which a Shiloh Shepherd puppy’s
ears are upright and alert varies from twelve weeks to ten or
twelve months. Sometimes an extremely large boned dog’s
ears will not be permanently strong until fifteen (15) months.
Nevertheless, usually the “base” of the pup’s
ears will be up at an early age. Remember the set of the ear
is not to be mistaken for lack of strength. Ear difficulties
should be brought to the attention of the breeder at the beginning
of the problem. The breeder’s early advice may save needless
veterinary expense. Some dogs will require shaving/taping, this
should be done ONLY under your breeder’s direction. Failure
to thoroughly document procedures could result in voiding this
guarantee. Under no circumstances will the dog be considered
as having permanently soft ears until after fifteen (15) months
of age. If the puppy is to be replaced, a statement signed by
a licensed veterinarian providing that this is definitely a
hereditary problem, not once caused by injury, poor care or
mistreatment, must be presented to the breeder along with the
dog for inspection. The breeder reserves the right to have the
dog examined by another authorized veterinarian for further
verification that this is indeed a permanent condition caused
by hereditary defect. The dog must be returned accompanied by
complete health, care, feeding, exercise and x-ray records.
In addition, the dog’s ISSR registration must be signed
back to the breeder. When these conditions have been met, and
a puppy of equal value is available, replacement shall be made.
B. MONORCHIDISM OR CRYPTORCHIDISM
- Both testicles of male dogs should have been descended by
eight (8) months of age. Those male dogs having one (1) or no
testicles after twelve (12) months of age shall be replaced
with another puppy of equal value. To receive replacement, the
dog must be returned in good condidtion, aside from the monorchid
or cryptorchid, accompanied by a signed statement from a licensed
veterinarian to that effect. In addition, the dog’s ISSR
registration must be signed back to the breeder. When these
conditions have been met and a puppy of equal value is available,
a replacement will be made.
C. OVERSHOT OR UNDERSHOT
- If the puppy proves to develop an unacceptable bite due to
hereditary influences and is, therefore, disqualified from ring
competitions, a replacement puppy of equal value will be given.
To receive replacement, the dog must be returned to Rising Star
Shilohs accompanied by complete health, feeding, care, exercise
and x-ray records. A certified statement from a licensed veterinarian
stating that the condition is irreversible and due to hereditary
factors, must be included. (Missing teeth or bite problems caused
by improper care, such as tug-of-war play with a puppy less
than six (6) months of age, improper medical treatments or accidents
- are not the responsibility of the breeder.) In addition, the
dog’s ISSR registration must be signed back to the breeder.
When these conditions have been met and a dog of equal value
is available, replacement will be made.
Gold quality dogs are further
guaranteed to attain CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS IN TWELVE (12) SHOW CLUSTERS
or less. Any dog/bitch over three (3) years of age, (properly
handled) that is unable to earn points, as stated above, will
be replaced by a higher quality specimen. Verification of dog’s
failings must be presented along with complete health records
when dog is returned. Rising Star Shilohs reserves the right to
refuse replacement if the dog is not in excellent health and condition.
________________________________________
ORANGE
PAPERED - SHOW/BREEDING QUALITY
Puppies purchased under Orange
papers are fully covered against temperament defects and canine
hip dysplasia as stated above.
EXCLUSION:
We are not guaranteeing that your puppy will win at all shows.
Only proper handling and care can insure you have a chance to
place. We only guarantee that your puppy does not have any genetically
disqualifying faults that would prevent him/her from winning and
that said puppy possesses all the traits needed for a good show
or breeding prospect.
________________________________________
PET
QUALITY - BLACK/WHITE PAPERED
Pet quality puppies are fully
guaranteed against any temperament defects and canine hip dysplasia
(as per item C). Although they will grow up to be wonderful companions,
they may posses “show” faults that make the unsuitable
for breeding, therefore, “show” guarantee is not applicable.
UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES will a puppy sold as “Pet Quality”
or with a Spay/Neuter Agreement be replaced for hanging ears,
monorchidism/cryptorchidism or an overshot/undershot bite, only
Show/Breeding quality puppies are covered for these defects.
