Puppy Health Guarantee – All our puppies receive excellent care & nutrition, de-worming medication, initial core vaccines (unless requested otherwise by buyer), and a well-check by a veterinarian to confirm that the puppy is healthy before being released to buyer.

A. Seller guarantees puppy against the following circumstances: 

1. Seller guarantees puppy until the age of 12 months against congenital Hip Dysplasia. However, allowing puppy to become overweight or allowing the joints to become over-stressed or injured will void this health guarantee, as these can lead to hip dysplasia.Hip Dysplasia must be diagnosed by PennHIP or OFA as moderate-to-severe to be covered by this contract. 

2. Seller also guarantees puppy until the age of 12 months against severe genetic diseases of the elbows, eyes, heart, and patella that will greatly shorten the life or greatly reduce the quality of life

If this veterinarian does not agree that the condition is congenital or genetic it will void the warranty.
