Puppy Guarantee
Buyer Initials and date ___/______
All puppies purchased must be taken to the Buyer's veterinarian within the first three (3) days after receiving the dog, proof must be provided within 10 days by mail. If this is not done, the health guarantee becomes invalid and Buyer assumes all responsibility for the health of the puppy. It is necessary for the Buyer to complete the schedule of inoculations on time in order to protect the puppy's health, and for the guarantee to remain valid. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian early about the prevention of heartworms in your puppy. It is expected that the Buyer will have yearly exams for the puppy including heartworm detection, fecal examinations, and all vaccinations required by your veterinarian and state. This guarantee shall become null and void if the puppy is transferred or if any series of vaccinations is not completed on time.
The puppy will be replaced if within the first year of the puppy's life, fatal and life -altering congenital disease which adversely affects the health of the animal and causes problems of a severe life-threatening or altering nature. If the dog dies within this one-year time frame, the Buyer will pay to have it autopsied to ascertain cause of death. If cause is congenital, the Seller will replace the puppy. Seller will not be responsible for any medical expenses incurred. If the puppy is diagnosed with a life threatening or altering disease, seller must be notified of the problem within 2 business days of the licensed veterinarian's determination. Written notification of such determination shall be supplied to Breeder’s Veterinarian for review. No replacement puppy will be given if the puppy has been euthanized without prior permission of the Seller. Any physical problem which is or could be the result of injury, over feeding, underfeeding and does not have up to date records of vaccinations are not covered under this guarantee. A returned puppy must be returned to the breeder in good condition, other than the specified problem, at the buyer's expense. The owner will then qualify for a replacement puppy. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs to and from the breeder.
Disorders that are not covered by this guarantee. Minor defects that are of little consequence for the puppy's health are not covered. Such as: a minor under bite, over bite, hernia, or gastrointestinal disturbance. Hypoglycemia is not covered, which occurs when they have been subjected to STRESS. The stress usually causing this condition is: 1-Over -handling young puppies and not letting them get enough rest and sleep. 2 -A puppy refuses to eat for over a period of 8 hours due to change of home and/or food. 3 - Exposure to low room temperatures for a period of time or sleeping in drafts. This is a management problem, not genetic or hereditary. It is necessary for puppy to remain on a large breed puppy formula of a ‘Super Premium’ nature such as Solid Gold Wolf Cub formula to reduce rapid bone growth problems contributing to hip dysplasia for a period of one year. Hip dysplasia which has been caused by overweight condition, repetitive motion such as jogging with a puppy, or any other physical environment contributor shall not be covered.
All veterinarian charges, incurred by the purchaser, are the sole responsibility of the purchaser and will under no circumstances be paid by the breeder, including all spay or neuter charges. The puppy must be spayed or neutered by the age of one year. The breeder guarantees a healthy companion pet, but does not guarantee adult size, color, and temperament. Nor does breeder guarantee for breeding; if the animal is used for breeding this contract is null and void. There is no guarantee regarding the size of the dog at maturity.
Please be advised that until your puppy has had its full set of inoculations, it is susceptible to certain illnesses, and therefore should be kept out of areas where other dogs (and other animals) have been. This would include parks, pet stores, and even neighbors' yards. While at the vet, keep your puppy on your lap or in a kennel, away from other animals. When your veterinarian tells you the shots are complete and your puppy is immune, you can then begin to "show off' your new family member. Should you have any other concerns about your puppy or their health, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your purchase!
