OKEFEILD ACRES PROVISIONS
Okefeild Acres LLC, referred to as Seller, takes great care to provide each client, referred to as your or Purchaser, with a well-socialized, healthy puppy. All puppies are examined by a licensed veterinarian before going to their new home and are kept current on vaccinations and deworming protocols to help build early immunity. A signed veterinary health document confirming your puppy’s microchip and good health will be included in your adoption paperwork.
Coverage For Fatal Viruses
Your puppy will have received age appropriate vaccinations and puppies 12 weeks and older will receive a rabies vaccination before leaving Okefeild Acres, according to Missouri state law. Coverage against distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus is provided for 72 hours after receiving your puppy. Should any of these viruses result in the puppy’s death within this timeframe, Seller will replace the puppy with one of equal value from an available litter of your choosing. Health issues resulting from vaccine reaction, over-vaccination, or administration of anything not listed on the accompanying health chart are not covered.
Coverage For Congenital Anomalies
Your puppy is provided a two-year warranty, from date born, against congenital issues most common for Poodles, Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles. If a congenital anomaly causes the death of your puppy within two years of birth, a replacement puppy of equal value will be offered from an available litter (shipping not included).
Size - Coat Type - Coat Color - Temperament
Adult size, coat type, coat color and temperament are estimated based on the genetics of the parents and grandparents and by temperament testing. Genetics can express variably across generations and temperament can be affected by factors outside of Okefeild Acres control. As such, no guaranty is provided regarding final adulthood outcome. To support healthy temperament development, the puppy listed below was spayed/neutered, documentation of the procedure is listed on included vet document(s).
Coverage For Joint - Skin - Heart
Your puppy is provided a two-year warranty (from date born) against crippling hip or elbow dysplasia. Joint conditions must be verified by official OFA testing (PennHIP is not accepted). If the puppy needs to be euthanized due to severe pain (with our veterinarian’s agreement), a replacement puppy will be provided (shipping not included). To maintain coverage, the puppy must:
Be fed Life’s Abundance All Life Stages dog food exclusively
Be kept in lean condition with no overfeeding
Not be housed on slippery or cement surfaces
Avoid high-impact activities such as, but not limited to, accidents, injury, excessive jumping or stair climbing
Documentation of on-line food purchase and veterinary weight checks will be required. Health issues arising from feeding food other than Life’s Abundance, overexertion, abuse, or over-vaccination are not covered.

PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Ongoing Care
Purchaser agrees to provide:
Required food, water, and indoor, climate-controlled shelter
Routine veterinary care including vaccinations and parasite control as listed on the accompanying health chart
Vet records with the puppy’s microchip number listed on all veterinary documents
Continued vaccinations, as listed on accompanying health chart, and controlled exposure until full immunity is achieved
Please avoid:
Setting the puppy on the ground at vet clinics - use a crate or carry them

Training And Behavior Expectations
Purchaser understands that:
Each puppy receives age-appropriate foundational training while in Seller’s care, including early sound conditioning, conditioned emotional response, crate exposure, umbilical training leash work, and beginning introduction to obedience cues. However, our puppies are not sold as fully trained or finished dogs. Okefeild Acres makes no guarantee regarding obedience level, behavior in new environments, or suitability for specialized roles such as therapy or service work. It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to continue training, after adoption, including completion of at least two levels of obedience training with the Purchaser as handler. This continued training encourages socialization with unfamiliar people, dogs and new environments and supports temperament development, reinforces bonding, and helps the puppy transition successfully. To support healthy temperament development, the puppy listed below was spayed/neutered, documentation of the procedure is listed on included vet document(s). The cost of this is included in the puppy’s price. (We’ve followed this approach for nearly 15 years with consistently positive outcomes.
