Breeder Philosophy
We are responsible dog breeders. We have spent a lifetime learning pedigrees, going over dogs, talking, and learning from those in our breeds and those outside it. We raise each litter as if we gave birth to them and spend an equal amount of time finding them loving forever homes. We only bring puppies into this world that we think will be the healthiest (mentally and physically) and best examples of their breed. We support each family who is chosen for one of our puppies and let them know they are now a part of our extended family. We treat them all well; answer calls, emails and Facebook messages day or night, through thick and thin. We are there when life-altering changes occur in families and one of our dogs must come back to be re-homed. We support our breeds in rescue and education. We health test our dogs and guarantee the puppies we produce. If a medical condition crops up, we alter our breeding program and try to prevent the problem in future generations. Our breeding program produces dogs that conform to a specific breed standard, not just in physical appearance and working structure, but more importantly in temperament, intelligence and trainability. We share our knowledge and we socialize, train and title our dogs so that they will be the advertisement for our dedication. It is impossible to determine the amount of money and time invested into our love of dogs; it would not be a true measure of how we feel. The price charged for our puppies is not based on profit, but rather for an investment in the next generation of dogs. Our facilities are inspected and licensed yearly. We offer dog training courses for manners, competition, and service work. We have a huge network of people waiting for our puppies, with 3 generations of families (parents, children and now grand-children) buying our dogs. We are not ashamed of whom we are... we work very hard at being good dog breeders and encourage others. We are proud of the dogs we produce and the joy and happiness those dogs bring to others, no matter their job… and we are honored to have created them.
Cher Car Kennels Puppy Guarantee
We guarantee our Cher Car Kennels bred puppies (German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd or Parson Jack Russell Terrier) to be free of all congenital defects, especially those of hip and elbow dysplasia. In the case of missing testicles, the guarantee provides for refund of $250 toward the total amount needed for surgical correction (neutering) paid directly to the veterinary hospital. In the case of a defect that is cosmetic, non-life altering and non-life ending (such as ears that do not stand erect); a refund will be given in the amount of $500 with the exception of dental deficiencies. (Click here for greater details.) We also guarantee our puppies to be free of infectious disease at the time of sale within that disease's incubation period. This guarantee does not include internal parasites (however puppies are dewormed twice prior to sale on the dates stated in the individual sales contract). The buyer assumes all responsibility if they fail to keep this dog in a healthy, lean condition. The dysplasia guarantee is void in obese dogs or in dogs spayed/neutered BEFORE 18 months of age. (Read here what early spaying/neutering can do to your dog's health.) If this puppy fails in this guarantee against dysplasia, a free replacement puppy will be given from the first available litter.
If the buyer does not wish a puppy, one from a future litter will be assigned as theirs and sold for the buyer. The proceeds will then be given directly to the buyer and will always equal the purchase price paid for the original puppy. This contract applies to the original puppy buyer only and is not transferable to a second party or in force if the puppy no longer resides with the original buyer.
Cher Car Kennels Puppy Buyer Contract
Cher Car Kennels has been breeding dogs for lives of significance and service™ since 1977. We produce dogs that excel in multiple venues, many from multi-aspect titled parents. Our dogs show appropriate character for their breed and make very loving family members. All puppies come with full UKC registration. (The United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries.)
Contract made between Cher Car Kennel LLC here referred to as breeder/seller, and the buyer identified by name and signature on actual purchase documents. All disputes are subject to resolution in the breeder/seller’s domicile of Clinton County, Michigan.
1) The breeder/seller guarantees our puppies (German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd or Parson Jack Russell Terrier) to be free of all congenital defects, especially those of hip and elbow dysplasia. In the case of missing testicles, the guarantee provides for refund of $250 toward the total amount needed for surgical correction (neutering) paid directly to the veterinary hospital. In the case of a defect that is cosmetic, non-life altering and non-life ending (such as ears that do not stand erect); a refund will be given in the amount of $500 with the exception of dental deficiencies. If a defect is life-altering, medical/lab test reports from a veterinarian are required and will be evaluated for endorsement by our Working Dog Practitioner veterinarian. If a defect is life-ending, both a necropsy and toxicology report are required to be reviewed by our Working Dog Practitioner veterinarian. We also guarantee our puppies to be free of infectious disease at the time of sale within that disease's incubation period. This guarantee does not include internal parasites such as Giardia or Coccidia since these common parasites can live dormant in the puppy’s GI tract until aroused by the stress of leaving the kennel; however, puppies are dewormed twice prior to sale.
2) The buyer assumes all responsibility if they fail to keep this dog in a healthy, lean condition. The dysplasia guarantee is void in obese dogs or in dogs spayed/neutered BEFORE 18 months of age. If this puppy fails in this guarantee against dysplasia, a free replacement puppy will be given from the first available litter. If the buyer does not wish a puppy, one from a future litter will be assigned as theirs and sold for the buyer. The proceeds will then be given directly to the buyer and will always equal the purchase price paid for the original puppy. This contract applies to the original puppy buyer only and is not transferable to a second party or in force if the puppy no longer resides with the original buyer.
3) The puppy shall not be bred unless it shall first (a) have been x-rayed and certified clear of hip and elbow dysplasia by OFA or PennHip at 2 years of age, (b) tested for Inflammatory Myopathy/Myositis (IM) if it is a Dutch Shepherd, (c) nor shall it be bred to another dog who does not meet these same conditions.
4) The Buyer shall maintain the puppy in good condition, including adherence to a regular immunization schedule, heartworm preventative, quality diet, and a clean and safe environment including adequate fencing and supervision. If proper nutritional requirements and/or a healthy safe lifestyle for said dog are not provided by the buyer for its lifetime, ownership reverts back to the breeder/seller who will reclaim the dog without recourse or refund to the buyer, and authoritative investigation with cruelty charges may be brought against the buyer.
5) The buyer also agrees that part of the maintenance of this puppy includes obedience training, and agrees to heavily socialize the puppy immediately and begin formal obedience training within 4 months of purchase. Obedience training is not an option, it is an obligation. It is not something to begin once behavior problems start; instead, it is to be done to prevent problems from occurring.
6) If at any time the buyer can no longer retain possession of this dog, the breeder/seller is to be IMMEDIATELY notified and arrangements will be made for the breeder/seller to resume full ownership of the dog. We will ALWAYS take our dogs back regardless of condition or cause. The breeder/seller will then locate a new home for the dog. Buyer agrees to return the dog with all UKC papers and medical records. The buyer agrees that this contract prohibits the transfer of the dog to any third party and acknowledges understanding that under no circumstance is the dog to be sold, leased, traded or given away to another individual, pet shop, research laboratory, animal shelter, dog pound or similar facility. (Contract is then signed by the puppy buyer stating "I, the undersigned, have read, understand and agree to ALL CONDITIONS detailed above" and buyer then completes by including date, address, phone and email information.)
