We the seller have made every effort to deliver the puppy in a normal and healthy condition. Prior to being shipped the puppy will recieve a veterinarian health exam and issued Health Certificate.

     We guarantee our puppies to be in good health and free of obvious defects.  All shots are up-to-date at the time of delivery.  A deposit of 1/2 the cost of the puppy will hold him/her until that puppy is ready to be shipped.  Deposits are non-refundable.  Puppies may become stressed by the change in their environment and result in minor problems such as diarrhea or coccidiosis and might require treatment.  These conditions are the responsibility of you, the buyer, and should be checked by a veterinarian.

     Minor health problems that develope and can be cured by medication or surgery are not covered by any guarantee. 
 

     The deposit amount of $100 is included in the adoption fee of each puppy.  Deposits will not be refunded unless illness or death of your puppy occurs before pickup.


Buyer's Responsibilities

     Have your puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of delivery. We must be informed immediately of the examination’s result by e-mail or by telephone if any serious or life threatening conditions are present.  Failure to complete this crucial step will terminate the health guarantee on your puppy.  This guarantee will then be null and void.

     Be sure to provide your puppy with routine preventive care, such as, but not limited to:
          o Annual physical examinations by a licensed veterinarian

          o Follow veterinarian guidelines for vaccinations and deworming


Health Guarantee

     Your puppy is guaranteed until one year of age against fatal and life altering congenital diseases which adversely affect the health of the animal.  This includes severe hip dysplasia, which hampers a dog’s movement and natural gait and requires surgery to correct; kidney, heart, pancreas, spine, and liver problems of a severe life threatening or altering nature.  If the dog dies within this one year time Clipart/pawprints.jpgframe, you must pay to have it autopsied to ascertain reason of death.  If reason is congenital, we will replace the puppy.

     All items covered under this guarantee are by replacement only.  We do not give refunds.

     A puppy showing any serious genetic or congenital defect will be replaced as follows:

           o Animal must show the defect by one year of age.  We must be notified of the problem within two (2) business days of the licensed veterinarian’s determination and have one (1) report from an unassociated veterinarian stating the same problem.  We will then provide a replacement puppy of equivalent value.

           o A puppy with a defect must be returned to us in good condition, other than the specified problem or euthanized with our permission at your expense to qualify for a replacement puppy.

     No replacement puppy will be given if your puppy has complications as a result of being bred, spayed, neutered, or euthanized (without our knowledge). 

     The replacement puppy will be mutually agreed upon by both parties and will be of comparable quality.  It is understood that the replacement puppy may not be from the exact same parents as the original puppy.

     You are responsible for transportation costs to and from us on a replacement puppy.

     If the purchaser chooses not to return the dog then he or she is accepting the dog “as-is” and this guarantee is null and void.

     No refund, in part or in full, will be given.

     This guarantee applies to the original puppy only and is nontransferable to a second party.

     We will not be held responsible for any medical expenses incurred. You, as the buyer, are fully aware that owning a puppy means trips to the veterinarian and understand that you will be responsible for all payments.

     As of the date of delivery, your puppy has received proper vaccinations and has been dewormed on a strict schedule.  You have been informed of the puppy's vaccination and deworming schedule and are aware of future vaccinations and dewormings that will be due.

     This guarantee does not cover Coccidia and Kennel Cough, which can occure in puppies that are shipped and can be caused by bacteria and stress.  Kennel Cough is self-limiting and, like the common cold, must run its course.  Full recovery is expected and Kennel Cough, on its own, is not life threatening.

     There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors after arrival, such as but not limited to:  allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange, tumors, growths, scabies, mite related illness and other autoimmune disorders which are not covered by this guarantee.

     Any physical problem which is or could be the result of injury is not covered under this guarantee.

     There is no guarantee on the size or disposition of the dog, or that you will be able to show or breed your puppy regardless of show or breeding potential.

     We do not guarantee a dog that develops Hypoglycemia, retained baby teeth, hernias, or loose knees (patella).


Shipping/Delivery

     Local pickup of your puppy is encouraged.  We will, on a case by case basis, arrange to meet at a half-way point in a private vehicle for delivery of your puppy.  There is an additional charge for this service unless otherwise agreed upon.  Charge is dependent upon miles traveled. 

     Should you choose to have your puppy shipped, we use a professional transporter.  Our transporter is excellent in the delivery and care of your puppy.   Shipping costs are non-refundable.

     Your puppy will be transported as soon as possible after you complete the purchase.  Puppies that are sold before 8 weeks of age will not be transported until they are 8 weeks old.
