We give the buyer a 1 year guarantee against genetic health defects. We also give a 72 hour health guarantee against life
threatening illnesses. The buyer agrees to take the puppy to a licensed Veterinarian to have it examined (at buyers cost) within 48
hours(holidays and weekends excluded) or the guarantee is void. If the puppy is found to have a life threatening illness that will
cause death or if the puppy dies within the 72 hour guarantee time, the buyer must notify the breeder at once with the following
information:
- Date puppy was examined
- Name, address and phone number of the licensed Veterinarian who examined the puppy
- The diagnosis and all medical records
- Autopsy if needed *
- PLEASE NOTE: If the buyer decides to have the puppy treated for a life threatening illness instead of returning the
puppy, the breeder will not be held responsible for any Veterinary bills and this guarantee becomes void.
The buyer needs to make arrangements to bring the puppy back to the breeder (at buyers cost) within 48 hours from the date of
diagnosis with the requested information and all registration paperwork.
The breeder will then take the puppy to her Veterinarian and if the same life threatening illness is confirmed or death occurs as a
result of a life threatening illness, the breeder will refund the price of the puppy at that time, or the buyer can choose a puppy from
the next litter. If it is found that the puppy does not have a life threatening illness, the buyer may take the puppy back and pay all
related Veterinarian costs. If the buyer declines to take the puppy back, no refund will be given.
The breeder is not responsible for associated changes which may occur with moving a puppy to a new home: mental stress, low
blood sugar, loose stools or coccidia which can be caused by stress and can develop within hours in transport and has nothing to do
with good or bad breeding.
The puppies are not guaranteed from things such as parasites, worms, etc.... which can be easily resolved with a trip to the vet and
some inexpensive dewormer. Almost 100% of all puppies will contract Round or Hook Worms in their life times. This is why puppies
need to be wormed once every 2 weeks until 3 or 4 months of age, no matter it's living conditions, until it's old enough to build up a
resistance. A heartworm preventative will be given to each puppy before leaving. It is your responsibility to continue monthly
treatments. Heartworms are very serious and WILL kill a dog if left untreated! A preventative, like Heartgard, will easily prevent a
dog from contracting this nasty parasite. A 6 month supply usually costs around $30-$35. If no preventative is given, and a dog
contracts adult heartworms, treatment is very expensive, and may kill the dog.
The buyer must keep the puppy current on all vaccinations after they leave our care for the health warranty to be valid.
Guarantee:
We have a strict requirement of all our guests....We ask that you do NOT go to see other puppies, anywhere, in the same day before
coming to our home. This is how Parvo Virus gets spread! It is a little safer if the puppies have been vaccinated, but it isn't 100% safe
until the puppies have received their "entire series" of vaccinations. After weaning, puppies will receive vaccinations every 2-3 weeks
until 16 weeks of age. Until the ENTIRE series of vaccines are finished, the puppies can still catch Parvo and other deadly
contagious diseases! Even after all of the vaccinations puppies can still contract diseases. You wouldn't let your child get cozy with
another child who has the measles, chicken pox, etc. The same goes with puppies. Nothing is 100%. The chances are much much
lower if they have their vaccinations, but there is still a slim chance that they can get sick.
We will accept visitors to our home before the puppies are born, so that you can meet the parents. However once the puppies have
been born, we stop taking any visitors until all the puppies have had their first vaccinations at 8 weeks of age. This is done for the
protection of the puppies. As stated above, visitors may track in germs on their clothes and shoes like Parvo, which is a very deadly
virus. The most common way puppies get Parvo, is from people bringing the germs to them on their clothes and shoes. Even if you
have not been around other puppies, the germs can still be picked up from contaminated side walks and grass and then tracked in
on your clothes or the soles of your shoes. Parvo can live on the ground for up to 6 years. Bleach is the only thing that kills the
germs in the environment. You will notice that many other breeders that are careful will implement this same policy. I am sure you will
appreciate this policy if you are purchasing a puppy from us!
The puppies normally receive their first vaccinations right before they are ready to leave for their new homes, so to make things
easier for everyone, we have everyone come to choose and to take home their puppies all in the same day. We do not like people to
come choose their puppy and then come back again later to take home their puppy, because this takes too much time out of our
schedules and it is more inconvenient for the buyer as well, especially if they are traveling long distances.
Before you take your puppy home, it will have the following:
 | | Vet Examination
|
 | | Vaccines Up To Date
|
 | | Dewormed every 2 weeks
|
 | | Treated with Frontline Plus (We will only use Frontline Plus if fleas are present on our property at the time. If we aren't having |
| | a flea problem, I don't see the need in treated with flea drops. Why put a poison on a puppy unless it's necessary?)
|
 | | Given Heartgard Plus at 8 weeks (The same goes for heartworm preventatives. We will not treat for heartworms unless it's |
| | mosquito season and 1 month after mosquitos have stopped flying.)
|
When picking up your puppy, you will be given the following:
 | | Health Guarantee Contract
|
 | | Health/Vaccination Records
|
 | | AKC Registration Application
|
 | | Puppy Care Manual
|
 | | Purina One Puppy Food Sample
|
 | | Puppy Kit
|
 | | and of course, your puppy! |

Our Puppy Policy:
Re-Home Policy:
If circumstances are such that a puppy does not work out in its new
home, or circumstances arise where the person can no longer care for
their adult dog, we are happy to take the puppy or adult dog back until a
new home can be found, but we do not offer exchanges or refunds. So
please give serious thought to your decision to purchase.
