Our puppies are on a routine de-worming program and are given their first vaccinations before going home with their new family. In order for this health guarantee to be valid, the puppy must be seen, at the purchaser’s expense, by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of the pick-up date (purchaser has the right to the vet of their choice). The veterinarian exam is required to confirm that the puppy is not sick or injured at the time he/she is given to the purchaser. There should be NO vaccinations given at the initial appointment.
The guarantee against viral/ transmissible diseases such as Parvo-virus, for example, is valid for a period of 7 days starting at day of pickup. The normal incubation period for transmissible diseases is 5-7 days. After the 7-day period, it is at no fault of the breeder. Intestinal parasites are not covered under this guarantee. Please talk to your vet about preventive measures and how to keep vaccines up to date. Upon going home, the puppy will need 3 additional vaccines and a rabies shot. All additional preventives and vaccines are at the cost of the purchaser. Hips/elbows are NOT included in this guarantee. Hip dysplasia, for instance, has a hereditary component, BUT there are many environmental factors that the breeder cannot control once the puppy leaves their home (diet/exercise). For a heart murmur with a grade of less than 3, there is no refund given. Hypoglycemia, coccidiosis, giardia, or hernias are not covered.
The breeder guarantees the puppy until 1 year of age against life threatening congenital and hereditary defects. The puppy will be replaced with the first available puppy of the same value from the breeder’s available puppies as soon as possible. The original puppy MUST be returned (at the owner’s expense) before a new puppy will be replaced. If the breeder has no available puppies, a refund will be given in full. The purchaser agrees to pay all vet bills incurred while the puppy was in their possession. NO vet bills for ANY puppy once sold will be the responsibility of the breeder.
This health guarantee is null and void if the puppy has not been examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of the pick-up date. Proof of the first veterinarian visit (within 72 hours) is required if requesting a refund or a different puppy. If this puppy is found to have a congenital defect by a licensed veterinarian, the breeder must be provided with a signed statement of the defect from the veterinarian. Upon breeder’s own veterinarian agreeing the puppy does indeed have a congenital defect, a refund or a different puppy will be given. This contract is non-transferable.
I have read, understood, and accepted the conditions of this guarantee.
