To the best of my knowledge this puppy is completely healthy at the time it leaves my home.  It has received its first vaccination, but is not fully protected until all of its vaccinations have been completed at about 16 weeks of age.  Therefore, exposure to other unknown dogs or even placing the puppy on the floor outside of your home is risky and your puppy could get ill before that 16 week period.

The health guarantee is good for a period of three days from the time that your puppy leaves my possession.  It is required that your puppy be examined by a licensed veterinarian during this period or there will be no guarantee.  If within the 3 days the puppy is found to have a serious illness or defect, the new owner will receive a full refund of the purchase price.  The refund will be made as long as the puppy is returned along with all registration papers and a written statement from the veterinarian within 48 hours after the defect has been diagnosed.  No veterinary bills will be paid by me unless approved in writing before treatment of your puppy.

Your puppy comes with a one year limited genetic health guarantee to the original buyer for the first year of life.  This guarantee is only for death caused by a genetic defect of the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs.  The buyer's licensed vet must provide me with a written certificate stating the exact cause of death verified by a necropsy.. If the death is caused by a genetic defect listed above and not neglect by the buyer, the puppy will be replaced with one of equal value as soon as one is available.  If these regulations are not met the guarantee is null and void.

There is no guarantee for color, size, correct bite, retained baby teeth or umbilical hernia.

All puppies are sold as pets with limited AKC registration.  Puppies are required to be spayed/neutered as soon as your veterinarian deems appropriate.

The new owner has read and understands the web site's "must read" page.  If for any reason, the new owner is unable to keep the puppy at any point in its life, they agree to contact me and give me the opportunity to take the dog back or help place it in an appropriate new home.
