Customer Link Policy
A must read for both Banner Link Requester and those going to the Link site from Run-N-Ridge
Nancy Anderson along with the Run-N-Ridge website being http://www.runningridge.com will upon request and approval from Nancy Anderson
post our customers "BANNER" with a url hyperlink to that website from the Run-N-Ridge puppy page at http://www.runningridge.com/puppies.htm
when that customer has puppies available for sale that came from the Run-N-Ridge bloodline and that customer purchased the dam, sire or
grandparent from Run-N-Ridge. 
Furthermore the price of the puppies MUST be listed on the site with the Harlequin Pinschers (*being of Merle, Brindle and/or Piebald markings)
being sold for no less than $750.00 as "PET ONLY" and any males MUST be already neutered at the time of listing as 'PET ONLY'.  Any
Harlequin Pinschers not altered must be listed for no less than $1500.00.  Furthermore there must not be any ads on the internet, newspaper or public
domains for less than the above stated prices from the Seller of a Customer Link.
Furthermore the Parents must already be HPA registered and the Customer must give ALL buyers the HPA puppy papers on every Harlequin
Pinscher they sale.   For those sold as "PET ONLY" the Seller is to acquire a legally signed "Pet Only" Contract that clearly states that the dog
is being sold as "Pet Only" and that if it is one of male gender that the dog has already been neutered.  If it is of female gender the contract is to
clearly state that the dog is being sold as a "PET ONLY" and is not to be used for breeding or resold to any persons for breeding purposes.
Run-N-Ridge recommends that any females being sold as "PET ONLY" only be allowed to be picked up from a Veterinarian Office after the
procedure is completed. 
The contract furthermore must state on "PET ONLY" sales that the HPA papers are to be non-transferrable to any other party, will not be
used to dual register with any other Registry, Association and/or Club under a penalty of  $5000.00 for failure to abide by the contract and
with a penalty of $2500.00 per puppy produced from a dog sold as "PET ONLY" and that you WILL enforce your contract.
(*Note:  HPA will not honor a "PET ONLY" stamped Puppy Paper so it is up to YOU the BREEDER and SELLER to be sure that you have an
enforceable contract.  HPA will however place on the Registration Certificate itself that the dog has been Spayed or Neutered if that is
written/stamped on the Puppy Paper.  Be advised however that it is against HPA's policies to falsify ANY paperwork so do not put anything on the
Paper that is NOT the ABSOLUTE TRUTH that will jeopardize your good standing with HPA.)
Furthermore any Customer Link Seller advertising available puppies as HPA registered MUST have already applied for the HPA papers at
the time of publication.   Please note that ACR registration is NOT HPA registration and will not qualify for Customer Link Inclusion.  Furthermore
Nancy Anderson nor Run-N-Ridge will include any Website Linked Banner that has now or in the recent passed offered for sale any Harlequin
Pinscher puppies not of HPA status.  Furthermore any websites found to be advertising any Harlequin Pinscher puppies (*Brindle, Merle, Piebald)
after being published on Run-N-Ridge website without HPA recognition will be permanently removed - this INCLUDES any Brindle, Merle, and/or
Piebald puppies being advertised as Miniature Pinschers instead of Harlequin Pinschers.
Furthermore the person/breeder/seller of the website requesting inclusion into our Customer Link Database must include on the website for
which they are asking for inclusion, a Banner link back to Run-N-Ridge.  This banner link must be displayed on the Puppy Page(*s) of the requested
inclusion website in a visible and prominent manner.  If the requested inclusion website has more than 1 Puppy page than the Run-N-Ridge
banner with operable link back to Run-N-Ridge's website must be placed on each one of the Puppy Pages in the manner stated above. 

In order to be eligible for Customer Link Inclusion  you MUST copy and paste this Policy in it's entirety into an email and include the wording exactly
as follows:
"I agree to adhere to the included Customer Link Policy and am requesting inclusion to the Run-N-Ridge Link database"
Include:
"Your Name as Electronic Signature, Address, Telephone number - email address - URL - Banner". 

Disclaimer: 
Nancy Anderson nor Run-N-Ridge is responsible for the morals, ethics or behavior of any other Seller/Breeder.  Nancy Anderson nor Run-N-Ridge
can be held responsible for the sale and/or purchase of any puppies other than our own. 
Nancy Anderson nor Run-N-Ridge is also not responsible for the advertising, false or otherwise, of any ads published by any other Seller/Breeder. 
Furthermore, Nancy Anderson nor Run-N-Ridge does not  personally endorse any of the listed Websites, Kennels, Persons/Sellers/Breeders or
dogs.  The links are provided as a courtesy  ONLY and are not paid advertisements, referrals or a commitment in any way to the ethics and/or
morals of the party or the conditions of their kennel, homes and or dogs nor the health of any animal they have.  
 
Buyer Beware:
We encourage all Buyers to only buy from 'knowledgeable breeders' and those they feel comfortable with after personally speaking with them via
phone or in person.  Furthermore we encourage all Buyers to only buy from those who have MPS VI tested and have a "CLEAR - NORMAL" result
from at the very minimum the sire of the puppy you are looking to purchase.  Furthermore we encourage all buyers to have their dogs MPS VI tested
prior to breeding to be sure that you will be producing 'non-affected' offspring.  We furthermore encourage all Buyers to be sure that the HPA papers
are available at the time of purchase and are not 'promised' at a later date.  We furthermore encourage all Buyers to purchase only Harlequin
Pinschers from HPA stock with HPA papers as these will be fully documented with pedigrees unlike many that are on the market today with no
documentation and hardship registered at best.  (*Buyer beware - be advised that while HPA can suspend/expel breeders who have falsely
guaranteed HPA papers they will NOT issue papers that the Breeder themselves have not requested as they see this as a Civil matter so it is up to
YOU THE BUYER to see that you get the HPA papers thus the importance of only dealing with honorable breeders.) 
Nancy Anderson/Run-N-Ridge does not endorse or take responsibility for any other breeder, kennel, seller, person(*s), dogs, bloodline or papers.

NOTIFICATION:
Furthermore be advised that HPA will not accept any CKC (*Continental Kennel Club - Walker, LA) for inclusion into the HPA registry after
March 1, 2010 so if your planning on or have CKC dogs that you plan to use in the HPA program it must be dual registered through a specific
process prior to March 1, 2010 or be lost to the program forever.
