All puppies purchased must be taken to the Buyer's veterinarian within the first three (3) days after receiving the dog, proof must be provided within 10 days by mail or fax. If this is not done, the health guarantee becomes invalid and Buyer assumes all responsibility for the health of the puppy. (It should be noted that diarrhea is common among puppies that have been moved to a new environment. This is normal and is not covered under the health guarantee. This will normally subside as the puppy gets used to its new home and surroundings.) It is necessary for the Buyer to complete the schedule of inoculations on-time in order to protect the puppy's health, and for the guarantee to remain valid. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian early about the prevention of heartworms in your puppy. It is expected that the Buyer will have yearly exams for the puppy including heartworm detection, fecal examinations, and all vaccinations required by your veterinarian.

If within the first year of the puppy's life, it is found to have a life-threatening congenital defect, send a detailed letter of explanation from your licensed veterinarian as to the nature of the defect and how it was found. Breeder must be notified at once at the onset of the problem. Breeder's veterinarian will interpret the report and if he concurs, then a replacement puppy will be given. A puppy with a defect must be returned with specified problem or euthanized and returned with the prior permission of the breeder to qualify for a replacement puppy. Registration of the puppy must also be returned. Any physical problem which is or could be the result of injury, over feeding, underfeeding and does not have up to date records of vaccinations are not covered under this guarantee. If any puppy dies for any unknown reason, it must be frozen and sent back to us. Then it will be examined by University of Columbia, Missouri before a replacement can be made. No refund, in part or in full, will be given. A returned puppy must be returned to the breeder in good condition, other than the specified problem, at the buyer's expense. The owner will then qualify for a replacement puppy. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs to and from the breeder.

There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors, i.e allergies, thyroid dysfunction, mange and other autoimmune disorders that are not covered by this guarantee. Minor defects that are of little consequence for the puppy's health are not covered. Such as: a minor under bite, over bite, or a hernia. Obvious hernias, if any, will be repaired before shipping. Hypoglycemia is not covered, which accrues when they have been subjected to STRESS. The stress usually causing this condition is: 1-Over-handling young puppies and not letting them get enough rest and sleep. 2-A puppy refuses to eat for over a period of 8 hours due to change of home and/or food. 3-Exposure to low room temperatures for a period of time or sleeping in drafts. Please read about hypoglycemia on web site.

All veterinarian charges, incurred by the purchaser, are the sole responsibility of the purchaser and will under no circumstances be paid by the breeder, including all spay or neuter charges. The breeder guarantees a healthy companion pet, but does not guarantee adult size, color, and temperament. Nor does breeder guarantee for breeding.

Please be advised that until your puppy has had its full set of inoculations, it is susceptible to certain illnesses, and therefore should be kept out of areas where other dogs (and other animals) have been. This would include parks, pet stores, and even neighbors' yards. While at the vet, keep your puppy on your lap or in a kennel, away from other animals. When your veterinarian tells you the shots are complete and your puppy is immune, you can then begin to "show off" your new family member.
