First your puppy is guaranteed to be in good health and free of any communicable disease when delivered. Second, your puppy is guaranteed to be free from genetic defects. The breeder is providing the buyer a puppy which is a live animal. Like all live species, many external conditions affect the long and short term health of your puppy such as: how the puppy is treated, environment, interaction, and nourishment. Breeder has no control over these conditions after the puppy is delivered. Buyer is encouraged to take this puppy to a licensed veterinarian for a routine health screening within two (2) business days of receipt of puppy. Failure to do so voids and nullifies the Puppy Guarantee. Upon initial exam should the attending licensed veterinarian diagnose any condition detrimental to the puppy’s general health or conclude that the puppy is defective and unfit for purchase, notify the breeder immediately. Failure to notify the breeder of veterinarian’s report within two (2) business days, from delivery of the puppy, will void and nullify the Puppy Guarantee. Breeder warrants the purchased puppy against any genetic defect for a one (1) year period following date of purchase which would render the puppy unfit as a pet. In the event that such a defect in the puppy is discovered within the one year period, following examination by a licensed veterinarian and verified in writing by said veterinarian, which causes the inability to use the puppy for the purpose of which it was intended, then a replacement puppy will be offered. Breeder shall furnish buyer with a replacement puppy of similar quality and value at breeder’s convenience. Repaired hernias are not covered under this warranty.

No warranties in any manner are expressed regarding the show prospects of your puppy. If your puppy has a show fault that renders the dog unable or undesirable to be bred or shown, that is not the fault of the breeder and is the chance you take buying a puppy. Although a puppy looks promising, show quality cannot be guaranteed. Your puppy is sold as a pet with no guarantees for breeding, showing or any other purpose other than as a pet. Buyer agrees to assume all cost for the initial health screening exam and/or any subsequent exams and/or any services or medical treatments performed by a licensed veterinarian.
