When our puppies are ready for new homes at 8 weeks of age, they will be vet checked and up to date on vaccinations and wormings. The puppy will be in excellent health to the best of our knowledge at the time of sale. We strongly urge the buyer to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of purchase. If the veterinarian finds anything seriously wrong with the puppy that is life-threatening, and provides a letter stating the illness, we will exchange the puppy for another puppy of equal value when available. The seller will not refund any part of the purchase price under any circumstances. A diagnosis of coccidia, giardia, parasites, kennel cough or any other type of bacterial/viral infection does not render your puppy unhealthy. These items/germs can be found on the ground, in water, and public places, and can be treated. Parvo is also not covered by this contract/guarantee, as the puppy has only been started on it's vaccinations prior to going to their new home. Your puppy's immune system is not fully developed until he/she has completed it's series of at least three puppy shots. Any costs incurred after the purchase are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
All of our puppies go home with a one year guarantee in case of death from a genetic related disorder. The owner must provide a written document from their veterinarian after having a necropsy performed stating the cause of the puppy's death within 3 days of passing. If the breeder's own vet approves the diagnosis, the puppy will be replaced with a puppy of the same sex and value within 12 months of the passing or will provide a full refund is such a puppy is not produced.
If for any reason you cannot care for the dog at any time in it's lifetime, please return it to us and we will find it a good home.
Due to space limitations, we ask that people pick up their puppies within 3 days of the designated pick-up date. Puppies can stay longer if needed for $15/day boarding charge.
Please call our veterinarian for a reference: Dr. Greenwood, West Lebanon, IN. 800-564-0563. We can also provide personal references from past customers upon request. Please research the breed of dog you're considering buying and make sure that particular dog will fit your lifestyle. Remember, a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment on your part. We love happy puppies paired with happy owners!
