A puppy showing any serious genetic or congenital defect will be represented as follows:
- The
animal must show the defect by one year of age. The Seller must be notified of
the problem immediately by email or by phone of the licensed veterinarian's
determination and have two reports from two unassociated licensed veterinarians
stating the same puppy with the same problem and the Seller will provide a
replacement puppy of equivalent value. This only applies to the original puppy
not the replacement puppy.
- A
puppy with a defect must be returned to the Seller in good condition, other
than specified problem or euthanized with prior permission of the Seller at the
Buyer’s expense to qualify for a replacement puppy. No replacement will be
given if the puppy/dog has been bred, spayed, neutered or euthanized without
the seller’s permission.
- Replacement
puppy will be mutually agreed upon by both parties and will be of comparable
quality. It is understood that the replacement puppy may not be from the exact
same parents as original puppy. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs
to and from the Seller on the replacement.
- No
refund in part or in full will be given.
- This
guarantee applies to the original puppy only and is nontransferable to a second
party.
- All
items covered under this guarantee are by replacement only.
As of the delivery date, the puppy/dog has received proper vaccinations by a licensed veterinarian. The buyer has been informed of these and future vaccinations due. The veterinarian issued current shot record is provided and is to be taken to the buyer's licensed veterinarian in order to provide information at the time the pup is being vet-checked. Annual shots and health exams are at the buyer's expense which also includes any illnesses that may occur during the life of the pup/dog.
This guarantee does not cover Coccidia and Kennel Cough which is common in puppies. Kennel Cough is self-limiting and like a common cold, must run its course. Any infection caused by untreated Kennel Cough is not covered. Full recovery is expected and Kennel cough on its own is not life threatening but should be treated.
This guarantee does not cover demodex (red mange) or mange of any type.
The Breeder is not responsible for Distemper, Parvo, and Corona Virus after 24 hours of sale as these are highly contagious diseases and they can be contacted immediately after leaving the breeder. This guarantee does not include: fleas, mites, coccidia, giardia or any other intestinal worms/parasites as they are common in dogs and puppies. We will not be responsible for illnesses or health problems which are diagnosed after this period of time except where stated in this contract.
A returned puppy/dog must be returned to the seller in good condition, other than the specified problem, at the buyer's expense. All registration and papers must be returned to the Seller. If the registration paper work of the returning puppy has been filled out but not sent to AKC (American Kennel Club), it will be at the purchaser's expense to have it replaced. If the AKC application has already been sent to AKC, the buyer must provide it, with a transfer fee.
There are certain disorders that may be caused by environments; for example: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange and other autoimmune disorders that are not covered by this guarantee.
Any physical problem which is or could be the result of injury is not covered under this guarantee.
As a new puppy owner, you can prevent premature aging, skin problems, arthritis, cataracts & tumors with a healthy immune system, and there will be less Vet visits for sickness. It's up to the puppy owner to make sure they keep the puppy healthy and the immune system high.
This guarantee is null and void if the terms are not fulfilled.
All costs for vet exams and treatments done within the 72 hours are the purchasers' responsibility. This is also to include the costs of the microchip and/or pictures. The seller needs to be notified by the buyer within the 72 hours, in writing or email (name of clinic, attending vet, city, state and phone number) that the pup has been vet checked. All vet exams, treatments and any other expenses (training, dog food, heartworm meds, dog treats, leashes, collars, toys, feeding and water bowls, bedding and items needed, etc.) are the full responsibility of the buyer from the time the buyer takes possession of the puppy.
Shipping/Delivery
