2. Health Guarantee

The Seller guarantees this puppy to be of sound health and temperament at the time of the sale. The Seller will provide a health record of all shots and worming. The Buyer agrees to take this puppy to a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 48 business hours. Failure to have the puppy examined by a vet within two days of the puppy’s delivered/picked up to provide required immunizations and medical treatment will void this health guarantee. Dehydration, Diarrhea, Hypoglycemia, Coccidia, Kennel Cough, Internal and External Parasites, Giardia, Fungal Infections, or any condition that can be corrected by veterinarian treatment and any other preventable conditions are not covered.

We provide a ONE-year health guarantee for life-threatening health issues (valid until the puppy’s FIRST birthday). Illnesses must be documented in writing by a licensed vet within 48 business hours. The Seller must be made informed of the examination that indicates that at the time of sale, such animal was unfit for purchase due to life threatening illness, disease, or congenital defect with proper documentation by a

licensed vet. If the puppy was in fact unfit for purchase, Buyer may return the puppy for an exchange of equal value and the failure to do so within 48 hours will result in the cancellation of a replacement puppy. The seller will offer a replacement puppy of comparable value and no money will be refunded. This is subject to availability, breeder’s first choice for breeding program and then the buyer’s second. Conditions not considered life threatening and therefore not covered include but not limited to luxating patella, hernias of any kind, collapsed trachea, etc. If the condition can be treated, it is NOT considered life threatening. In the event of a life-threatening condition, the affected puppy must be returned with all veterinary documentation at the Buyer’s expense. The Buyer understands that a replacement puppy will only be given if it’s discovered to be a hereditary problem and not due to accident or illness. The Seller guarantees the puppy against fatal viruses for 48 hours. These include Distemper, Parvo, and Corona. It does not include Coccidia and Kennel Cough, which is self-limiting and must run its course with antibiotic treatment and is not life threatening.

If the puppy should die from a suspected congenital defect within 12 months of its birth date, an autopsy must be performed at the purchaser’s expense by a veterinarian. If the autopsy shows a congenital defect as the reason for death, the seller will provide another puppy of equal value to the purchaser. A written statement from the licensed veterinarian must be provided with the Seller’s name. The guarantee is void in the event of an indeterminable or inconclusive diagnosis.

In the event there are no puppies available at that time, the buyer will then be placed on a waiting list for the first suitable replacement puppy in comparable value when one becomes available. The Buyer understands that any and all guarantees expire one year from the date of birth. If an autopsy is not performed this guarantee is no longer valid and the puppy will not be replaced. Buyer is responsible for the transportation cost of the replacement puppy.

This contract is between the Seller and Buyer(s) signed below. If this puppy/dog is sold to a third party, this contract shall be void.

This guarantee does not cover common conditions and is limited only to defects largely considered life threatening. The Seller is not responsible for any veterinarian bills incurred once the puppy is delivered, the Buyer assumes all responsibility for the puppy.

4. Open Door Policy

If at any time, the Buyer can no longer retain possession of the dog, the Seller must be notified. The Buyer must work with the Seller in order to find a new suitable home for the puppy. In the event a new suitable home cannot be found within the Buyers timeframe the puppy would be returned to the Seller so they could find a suitable home. Under no circumstances will the Buyer rehome the dog, which includes surrendering the dog to the pound or any rescue center. This provision is to ensure that our puppies will not end up homeless or destroyed, and a proper suitable home is found. Rehoming of a puppy without notifying X- Designer Breeds will be considered breach of contract and the Buyer will be responsible for damages for the actual value of the puppy at the time of original sale (purchase price) and any fees incurred to regain possession of the dog.
