Health
- The seller certifies that, upon purchase, the puppy is in good health and has been immunized and dewormed according to his/her age.
- The buyer has the option to have the puppy examined by his/her veterinarian, within 3 days of purchase date, at buyer’s expense. If the veterinarian does not give the puppy a clean bill of health, the buyer must notify the seller immediately. Seller reserves the right to have the puppy re-examined by their own veterinarian, at their own cost. If the puppy is then found not to be in good health, Seller will resume possession, if this is agreeable to both parties. Seller is not responsible for any contagious disease(s) diagnosed after 3 days of purchase date.
- If any fatal congenital problems are diagnosed within a year of age, the seller will replace OR refund the puppy, as buyer’s preference.
- The seller cannot guarantee your puppy from having elbow and/or hip dysplasia but as you’ll read below, there are ways to greatly reduce the chance of that happening.
Buyer’s Responsibility
- The Buyer agrees to take good care of this puppy, feed and house the puppy properly and maintain regular vaccinations. Buyer agrees to give the puppy proper general welfare care as well as physical and emotional care.
HIP DYSPLASIA:
- Your puppy will be fully grown at 3 years of age. It is very important for the first year and a half of the puppy’s life, that you don’t over-exercise him/her. Appropriate exercise and weight, combined with the right diet, will greatly reduce the chance of elbow and or hip dysplasia.
- We strongly recommend you wait until a year and a half or two before you neuter/spay your puppy. Research has found that it is healthier for the puppy to wait until that age or older.
- Your puppy isn’t fully immunized against parvovirus and other viruses until a month after his/her third sets of vaccinations. Until then, keep your puppy at home, away from public places as dog parks and pet stores, and other puppies and/or dogs that aren’t up to date with their vaccinations. Do not let strangers pet your puppy until he/she is fully immunized.
