As of the date of delivery, we certify that the puppy has received proper vaccinations and de-wormings.  Buyer must take said puppy to a vet within 72 hours and is responsible for all costs concurred by initial visit.  If puppy is not examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours from time of arrival, health warranty is void.  Buyer is aware that owning a puppy means trips to the veterinarian and understands that he/she will be responsible for all payments.  This health warranty does not include Coccidia and Kennel Cough.  Kennel Cough is self-limiting, and like the common cold, it must run its course.  Full recovery is expected, and Kennel Cough on its own is not life-threatening.

This puppy is guaranteed for one year against fatal and life-altering congenital disease which adversely affects the health of the animal and causes problems of a severe life-threatening or altering nature.  If the dog dies within this one-year time frame, the Buyer will pay to have it autopsied to ascertain cause of death.  If cause is congenital, the Seller will replace the puppy.  Seller will not be responsible for any medical expenses incurred.  Seller must be notified of the problem within 2 business days of the licensed veterinarian's determination and have two additional reports from two unassociated veterinarians stating the same problem, in which case Seller will provide a replacement puppy of equivalent value.

Replacement puppy policy

A puppy with a defect must be returned or humanly euthanized, with the prior permission of the Seller, to qualify for a replacement puppy.  A returned puppy must be retuned to the seller in good condition, other than the specified problem, at the expense of the Buyer.  The Buyer will then qualify for a replacement puppy.  Buyer is responsible for transportation costs to and from the Seller for a replacement puppy.  No replacement puppy will be given if the puppy has been euthanized without prior permission of the Seller.  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 of original puppy.

There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors, for example: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange, and other auto-immune disorders that are not covered by this warranty.  Any physical problem, which is or could be the result of injury, is not covered under this warranty.  There is no guarantee or warranty that the Buyer will be able to show or breed the puppy regardless of show or breeding potentials.  There is no guarantee regarding the size of the dog at maturity.

Hypoglycimia is not covered under this warranty. This is a management problem, not genetic or hereditary. 

Luxating Patella’s must be diagnosed on initial puppy exam done within 72 hours of puppy’s arrival.  Only stage 3 or greater 

diagnosis will be covered under this warranty, and surgery must be performed within one year of purchase.  Seller will then refund

25% of purchase price once surgery is done.

Refund/Replacement policy

All deposits are non–refundable.  If Buyer pays for puppy in full, and then chooses not to take possession of puppy before delivery date, Seller will refund only 25% of purchase price.  All items covered under this warranty are by replacement only.
