Health Guarantee

If within the 1^st year a qualified veterinarian detects a genetic disorder, to be serious enough to warrant the euthanization of the dog, the report needs to be sent to the breeder immediately.  The breeder will have a licensed veterinarian interpret the report.  If the breeder’s vet concurs, breeder will replace the puppy with a puppy of equal value.  If no puppy is available at that time, the buyer must wait until one becomes available.  If shipping is needed, the buyer will be responsible for the cost of shipping.  Breeder will not cover any veterinarian cost after the puppy has left the home of the breeder. 

Puppy is covered for 48 hours from time of purchase for Parvo.  Buyer is urged strongly to take the puppy to the vet of his/her choice within a 48 hour period to have the puppy checked.  If buyer fails to take the puppy to the vet in the initial 48 hour period after sale, this guarantee is void and null.

Puppy has been wormed from 2 weeks of age until purchase time for hookworms and roundworms.  Puppy has also been wormed for tapeworms, if tapeworms are noticed in stools.  Puppy has been given Albon week 7 for 6 days.  Puppy instructions will be given to buyer.  Buyer is responsible to read and understand the instructions and if there are any questions breeder accepts calls or emails and will answer questions as best as possible.

The breeder guarantees a healthy companion pet, but does not guarantee adult size, color, temperament, ear carriage or fitness for breeding.  A vet check is only warranted when shipping is required.  Given the care we administer to your puppy with age appropriate vaccinations, weekly wormings and Albon as a preventative, a vet check will not be offered by breeder when shipping in not required.  When the puppy leaves the breeder’s home, the puppy is healthy and has no infectious diseases to the best of the breeder’s knowledge.  If shipping is required, a health certificate will be issued by the breeder’s vet.  This is included in the cost of shipping.
