Health Guarantee/Contract
The seller certifies that the puppy you purchase is in sound health at the time of sale to the best of my knowledge, and has been given all vaccinations and wormings stated on the vaccination record provided to the buyer(s). I do my best to provide the new owner with a healthy puppy. The buyer will become responsible for further vaccination, boosters and wormings. If this puppy becomes sick or has a genetic default, the following stipulations must be adhered to in order for a replacement to be made. Official report from a licensed vet stating, without a doubt, the puppy has a genetic defect that would hinder the pup, must be sent to me along with a phone number of the vet’s office. If the puppy should die, an autopsy must be done by a licensed vet stating the cause of death. The documentation must be forwarded to me before a determination will be made. The seller reserves the right to confirm the diagnosis with a vet of my choice. The seller will not be responsible for any expense you may incur, including return shipping and vet expenses.
This warranty applies only to the original buyer. Parasites are not covered under warranty as a puppy can pick these up over night in travel. Your puppy will be up to date on wormings and should be wormed regularly as recommended by your vet.
Hernias, umbilical or inguinal are occasionally present in puppies. If surgery is required we provide $50 for umbilical and $75 for inguinal. Most will be outgrown. If not they can be easily repaired at time of Spaying/Neutering is highly recommended if you are not planning on breeding.
