Our Health Guarantee

​

 

As of the date of this agreement, the puppy is in good health and is free of communicable diseases. Although every precaution has been taken to transfer a healthy puppy, the seller is not responsible for any illnesses that are diagnosed after the buyers initial veterinary health examination, which MUST occur within 72 hours of the date of sale. If these conditions are not met, this guarantee is VOID. Should the puppy be found in ill health, the puppy may, upon presentation of a written diagnosis from a said veterinarian and a veterinarian of the sellers choice, be returned for a replacement puppy. If there is no puppy available at that time, the purchase price of pup will be transferred to the next litter of similar size and breed.

 

In addition, your puppy comes with a two year health guarantee, where the seller warranties the puppy of any genetic or congenital defects. Seller must be provided a written report of the dogs health problem from the buyers veterinarian. The seller reserves the right to a second opinion from a veterinarian of their choice. The buyer assumes full responsibility for all costs and care during this time. If the defect is a result of a genetic or congenital defect, the seller will offer a replacement puppy of similar size and gender from the next litter born. 

​

 

The seller will not be responsible for problems resulting from the following: obesity, secondhand smoke, malnutrition, dehydration, starvation or lack of proper vet care, including regular vaccinations.

Failure to follow medical advice and/or treatment instructions of a veterinarian will void this guarantee. Seller is not responsible for any veterinarian bills. 

 

NOT COVERED

Internal or external parasites, hernias, undescended testicles, hooded or recessed vulva, under or overbite, Entropion or Ectropion, injuries, allergies, heat exhaustion, hypoglycemia, collapsed trachea and luxating patella. Hypoglycemia can be prevented with good care and feeding. Since a luxating patella or collapsed trachea can be caused by injury, they are not covered if they are not discovered during your veterinarians initial examination. Kennel cough and other communicable diseases are not covered after your veterinarians initial examination.

 

HEALTH

Seller guarantees that the puppy has received appropriate medical inoculations and care including parvo inoculations and has been on a deworming protocol. Seller will provide the buyer with a medical chart detailing treatment the puppy had received under the sellers care.

*Annual physical examinations by a licensed veterinarian

*Rabies vaccinations as mandated by state law

SPAY/NEUTER

In the past decade, studies have indicated that neutering too soon or too late can have several adverse health effects on dogs. Some include variations of cancers, behavior issues and joint disorders. It is very important for a puppy to continue to produce essential hormones needed for the proper closure of bone growth plates. Therefore, we require him/her to NOT be spayed/neutered until AFTER his/her first birthday but BEFORE he/she turns 18 months of age. Ovary Sparing or Spay or Vasectomy can be done sooner, if seller prefers that method of desexing. Proof of Spay/Neuter is required.

Your pup is sold as a pet ONLY with NO breeding rights.

 

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

If at any time circumstances are such that the buyer cannot keep the puppy/dog, the seller maintains "right of first refusal" to either take possession of the puppy and it's paperwork/vet records or seller will place the puppy/dog into another suitable home. The term "Right of First Refusal" means: if the buyer chooses to relinquish ownership of the puppy/dog, the seller will take over ownership of the puppy/dog. Under NO circumstances shall the puppy be taken to an animal shelter, humane society, animal broker, pet store, etc. We will NOT refund, in part or in whole, any monies or offer a replacement puppy because of you having changed your mind for any reason whatsoever.
