After the first 72 hours it will be the buyer's responsibility if the
puppy develops an upper respiratory infection, pneumonia or hyperglycemia
(sugar shock). Please discuss preventives with you Veterinarian or call
the breeder.
Provide
puppy with routine preventive care, such as, but not limited to:
 Annual physical examinations by a licensed
Veterinarian.
Follow Veterinarian guidelines for
vaccinations & de-worming.
If the puppy is not spayed/neutered before leaving the Breeder's care, Buyer
will assume all responsibility & risks of spaying, neutering or
breeding.
If
puppy is not spayed/neutered by 6 months of age this guarantee is void.
Proof of spay/neuter must be supplied with other veterinarian reports.
For the 1st 8-12 months,
puppy must be given a diet high in fat, between 18%-20%, please use one of the
following: Eukunuba Puppy, Iams Puppy or Diamond Puppy. 1st
ingredient must be chicken. Puppy must have food and water 24/7
until he/she is 5 months old. No treats, of any kind, until the
puppy is 5 months old. Not following these diet guidelines will
void your guarantee.
Breeder’s
Responsibilities:
 If,
within the first 72 hours, your Veterinarian identifies a "health
issue" which clearly the puppy obtained at our facility, breeder will
refund purchase price of puppy or replace the puppy (breeder's option). Buyer must return original puppy, with a
written report from Veterinarian & registration papers, to the breeder
within 48 hours of notifying the breeder.
If
with in the 1st year a qualified veterinarian detects a genetic
disorder, to be serious enough to warrant the euthanization or major surgery of
the dog, the diagnosis, any lab results and/or xrays must be sent to the breeder immediately. The breeder will
have a licensed veterinarian interpret the report. If breeder’s vet
concurs, breeder will refund the purchase price, upon return of dog’s
registration paper and proof of euthanization. If buyer chooses not to euthanize
the dog, then the dog must be returned to the breeder before a refund will be
given.
There
are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors or care
of the puppy by the buyer, i.e.: starvation, hyperglycemia (sugar shock), allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange and other autoimmune
disorders that are not covered by this guarantee.
The
breeder guarantees delivery of a healthy companion puppy, but does not guarantee adult
size, color, and temperament. Nor does breeder guarantee fitness for
breeding.
All hernias (navel & ingle) will be repaired before leaving if found
by my vet. Hernia repairs do not warrant
return of money (even if puppy is intended to be used for breeding) as it is not life threatening & in no way interferes
with the quality of life of the puppy.
Registration papers will be supplied or mailed as soon as
breeder receives them.
This
contract supersedes any and all previous agreements.
This contract is null and void if the terms
and conditions are not fulfilled.
Thank you,
