Health Guarantee for Schnauzers Of Taylor
1) 48 hour guarantee: This puppy is in good health to the best of my knowledge by my own observation and using a seasoned veterinarian’s for exam. Buyer has 48 hours to have their new puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian, excluding Saturday & Sunday. Puppies picked up on Friday, must see vet on Monday. Failure to have the puppy checked within these 48 hours voids all guarantees. All vaccines must be administered by a licensed veterinarian ONLY. The breeder holds the right to have the puppy re-examined by their veterinarian to validate. Ear cropping and any vet expenses incurred by the buyer will not be refunded. Seller guarantees against fatal viruses for 48 hours after purchase. These include, but are not limited to, PARVO, DISTEMPER, CORONA. No guarantee on fatal viruses after 48 hours. We also cannot guarantee that your puppy will never develop any health problems, just like a pediatrician cannot guarantee that a child will never develop any health problems in the future. . Breeder does not guarantee against common puppy issues such as but not limited to coccidia, which can be caused by stress, worms, giardia, ear mites or kennel cough. These are common puppy ailments and can easily be treated. Your puppy has been treated on a schedule from the age of 2 weeks for these conditions and it is now the Buyers responsibility to continue on any needed treatments and have the puppy checked for parasites on a regular basis.
2) First Year : Puppy is guaranteed against any congenital disease that results in an unfortunate death of the puppy within the first 12 months of life. If the puppy dies then the buyer will pay for an necropsy to ascertain reason for death. If the reason is congenital (congenital defects are abnormalities which are untreatable and mean certain or early death), the breeder will replace the puppy at no additional cost to the buyer.**
Years 2-5: After year one we commit to you that if your puppy has any issues, where as the puppy cannot live a healthy life we will issue you the following credit towards a new puppy:35% of the original puppy price excluding shipping cost and vet fees.

Breeder does not guarantee environmental allergies, food allergies, schnauzer bumps, shot knots or vaccine reactions, teeth not falling out, over or under bites, minor heart murmurs level 1 or 2, hypoglycemia or thyroid issues. Small dogs do have trouble with bites when baby teeth that do not fall out are not removed, failing to do so cause the other teeth to grow in crooked.No guarantee is also given on hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which is preventable. All AKC papers and medical records must be returned. Note: The breeder cannot guarantee size or temperament. The breeder can only estimate the size based of weight and the size of the parents. Puppies could grow larger or stay smaller than projected size, the same as children. Breeder cannot guarantee ears will stay floppy, anything can happen in schnauzer ears. Breeder does not guarantee color, coat quality, or reproductive capability or lifespan of puppy. This puppy is PET quality only.
3) Public Exposure: Although you may be tempted to rush your pup to the pet store, parks, etc. to show off your new pup, until they have received all vaccines and rabies, you expose your new baby to unnecessary risks, including having a stranger pet your new pup. Avoid the temptation and show pictures. Doing any of the above before vaccines are completed will void the Health Warranty. As a rule I do not take my dogs out until they are approx 6 months old and then in a zipped doggy buggy and I tell strangers who want to pet my dogs, politely of course, no. You don’t know where their hands have been, especially in big pet stores.
4) Death of puppy within guarantee: If for any reason the puppy dies within the period of the health guarantee due to a supposed congenital defect, an autopsy examination by an accredited institution set up to do such exams, such as a university such as Texas A&M, must accompany the request for a puppy replacement within the first year.
