BREEDER AGREES:

 

   BREEDER guarantees that PUPPY is free of any known disease or significant defect at the time of sale and will provide BUYER with health records including shots, deworming, and full veterinary examination. If PUPPY is being shipped, health records will be shipped to BUYER. In order to validate this warranty, BUYER must have PUPPY examined, at BUYER’s cost, by a reputable licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of taking ownership, and must be able to provide proof of examination. If any health issues that would deem PUPPY at risk of euthanasia or death due to congenital defect are identified by the veterinarian, a call must be made immediately by BUYER and the veterinarian to advise BREEDER of the issue. Upon written confirmation by a licensed veterinarian and the return of the PUPPY to BREEDER, within three days of the exam, BUYER can choose to have BREEDER replace PUPPY at which time one becomes available, or issue a full refund of the purchase price, less deposit and less fees for shipping.

   Any serious, life-altering health conditions (congenital birth defects, severe/crippling hip or elbow dysplasia, severe heart murmurs) identified within the warranty period of 1 year, that have been submitted with all required documentation (up to date veterinary and treatment records) will result in BUYER’s choice of a full refund, less deposit, or a replacement puppy at which time one becomes available. BREEDER reserves the right to seek a second opinion from veterinarian of choice.

   BREEDER cannot guarantee that PUPPY will never become ill or need more than routine veterinary care, and this guarantee does not cover the reimbursement of any veterinary bills associated with PUPPY. 

   Conditions not covered in warranty include (a) worms, fleas, mites, giardia and other parasites that are common to puppies and dogs, (b) stress/environmentally induced disorders such as, but not limited to, kennel cough, pneumonia, hypoglycemia, allergies, and other communicable diseases that are beyond BREEDER’s control once the puppy leaves BREEDER’s premises, and (c) conditions that are minor, correctable or which could go away or which PUPPY will likely outgrow such as, but not limited to, entropion, ectropion, undescended testicles, umbilical hernia, improper bite, crooked teeth missing teeth, hypoglycemia, anal gland issues, dermatitis, demodectic mange, ear infections, urinary track infections and or cancers.  It also does not include any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals or physical injury.

   BREEDER attempts to breed for even temperaments and healthy puppies.  However, BREEDER does not guarantee characteristics of dog such as color, size, coat type, or temperament.

   Puppies are sold only as companion pets and are not warrantied or guaranteed to be fit for breeding or any other function or purpose.  Except as expressly set forth in this warranty, BREEDER makes no other representations or warranties, express or implied, and all such warranties, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, are hereby disclaimed.

​

Additional Terms of Health Guarantee/Warranty:
