Contract & Health Guarantee

  • The Buyer agrees to have the puppy/dog examined by a licensed veterinarian within 3 days of receipt of the puppy. If the puppy is found to have a serious life threatening health condition that is not curable, as evidenced by a veterinarian’s written statement, the buyer may elect to keep the puppy assuming all costs for its care, or may return the puppy for a full refund, upon the Breeder’s receipt of the veterinarian’s statement regarding the serious non curable health issue. THIS PROVISION WILL EXPIRE 3 DAYS AFTER THE BUYER TAKES POSSESSION OF THE PUPPY.
  • This puppy has not been treated with flea, tick or heartworm medicine. Due to the increased amount of Holistic Veterinarian care some owners prefer not to treat their dog for these parasites. Please discuss with your vet at your first visit what treatment you would prefer.
  • This puppy is not to be surrendered to an animal shelter or to be sold or given to another party without breeder consent. In the event the Buyer can no longer care for this puppy/dog, the buyer agrees to contact the breeder to assist in placing puppy/dog or to arrange return to the breeder.
  • This puppy is current on all vaccines and deworming. A vaccination record is given to each buyer. To avoid disease, buyer will follow their veterinarian’s vaccination protocol.

Current food being fed is Eukanuba Puppy. A bag of food has been supplied to allow continuity of diet.

  • Breeder is not responsible for ANY damage caused by puppy once puppy has left possession of Breeder. This includes damage to furniture, property, other animals or humans. The parents are bred because of their good health and temperaments.

The Buyer agrees to socialize puppy as soon and as frequently as possible.
  • Buyer will not expose puppy to public animal places (example: pet stores, dog parks, places people hike frequently with their dogs) until all vaccines are completed around 3 months old.

Buyer will ask their vet when it is safe to expose puppy to public locations.

The breeder has the right to return deposit and refuse to sell to ANYONE if the breeder feels in any way it is not safe to transfer ownership to buyer at anytime during the purchase process.

The Breeder Agrees

  • That this puppy is in good health at the time of sale. A statement of good health by veterinarian is attached to health guarantee. The Buyer will have 72 hours in which to have the puppy examined by their own veterinarian. If the puppy is found to be ill by a licensed veterinarian and is to be returned due to illness, a letter from the veterinarian is required. This includes death or illness from any health condition deemed to be present prior to leaving the seller’s premises. Buyer shall assume any expenses associated with returning the puppy to the seller. The seller will, at the seller’s discretion, refund the purchase price, return the dog to the buyer in healthy condition, OR exchange the dog of equal value. At no time and under no circumstances will the breeder be responsible for any veterinary expenses incurred by the buyer.

Health Guarantee

  • Should the puppy be proven to have a life inhibiting genetic defects by 2 years of age, breeder will need a written notification from 2 vets from different vet practices stating this upon diagnosis along with all testing results from both veterinarians. If the puppy must be euthanized it will be at buyer’s expense. Breeder will replace the puppy with the first available puppy of same breed and value from the breeder’s stock as soon as possible. No refunds will be given, and no further health guarantees apply. Breeder assumes no responsibility for expenses of any kind including vet or any travel fees incurred. We cannot guarantee that your puppy will never develop any health problems, just as a pediatrician cannot guarantee that a child will never develop any health problems in the future. Some things are just not able to be predicted. Our parents are free of diseases, disorders, and health problems; otherwise we would not breed them. That means our puppies are less likely to develop problems. If anything does occur, you are required to inform us so we can evaluate the parents and the other puppies from that litter in an attempt to determine the cause of the ailment and to eliminate the issue from our breeding program.
  • Should the puppy die unexpectedly within the 2-year time frame, a necropsy must be performed, and a diagnosis of a life inhibiting genetic defect must be proven to be the cause of death. Copies of necropsy results and any paperwork about death must be provided to breeder. Breeder will replace the puppy with the first available puppy of same breed and value from the Breeder’s stock as soon as possible. No refunds will be given and no further health guarantees apply. Breeder assumes no responsibility for expenses of any kind including vet or any travel fees incurred.
  • This guarantee is null and void upon any evidence of abuse or neglect. Chronic obesity and/or poor hygiene constitute neglect. To remain in effect, this dog must receive animal veterinary checkups and treatments prescribed.
  • Breeder does NOT GUARANTEE against COCCIDIA or GHIRDIA (typically dormant single celled parasites common in puppies) or for final adult weight, color, breeding ability, show potential or against overbites, under bites, hernias occurring after 8 weeks of age, temperament issues or for undescended testicles. By signing, you agree that you have read and understand what BREEDER does and does not guarantee for.
