We guarantee against viral diseases up to seven days after the puppy/dog is taken home. The puppy/dog must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within seven days of receipt of puppy/dog for the health of the puppy. If he/she finds abnormal results in the exam (other than any known to new owner and disclosed at the time of sale), then the breeder must be called immediately and copies of the licensed veterinarian report supplied to us. After receipt of the report, we may offer a reimbursement or solution based on the the findings.
The following are NOT covered by this guarantee: Reimbursement for veterinary expenses, reimbursement for air or ground transport or return, external parasites, such as ticks, fleas, or ear mites, internal parasites, such as intestinal worms, or their effects (almost every puppy/dog has some sort of intestinal worms; although we have wormed your puppy/dog regularly, it only takes a few days for him/her to pick up another “batch”). That is just a part of puppy/doghood, which is why a regular worming schedule is recommended. In case of a puppy/dog's death within the seven day period, a necropsy must be arranged and paid for by the New Owner, and those findings must be submitted to the Breeder before any exchange will be made. All guarantees are only applicable to the original buyer.

After receipt of the report and its review, the new owner will have the option to bring the puppy/dog back in exchange for another puppy/dog of equal or lesser value, or a reimbursement (in part or in full) will be provided at our discretion. We our not responsible for any veterinarian bills you incur with your new puppy/dog.

It is your ultimate responsibility to take good care of your puppy/dog and provide adequate food, water, and veterinary care. Please be aware that as a new puppy/dog owner, you share in the responsibility to help prevent hip dysplasia, as it has been proven to be part hereditary and increasingly environmental. This puppy/dog has been bred based on sound stock. Through proper diet you can play an important role in helping your puppy/dog grow into a healthy adult.
