Straight from our sales agreement:
Although there is no guarantee that a puppy will not have problems with knees, hips or elbows, we are making every effort to avoid such an occurrence through scrupulous screening by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). We will replace this puppy at any time in its life if crippling hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia or luxating patellas is properly diagnosed. (Properly diagnosed means that one or more x-rays have been taken and evaluated by a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine.)
The Shiba Inu must be fit in body and mind to be a suitable companion to his owners. Poor temperament can stem from a variety of reasons, from genetic fault to environment and poor early socialization. Faults of temperament that cannot be repaired by qualified professionals are considered to be a result of hereditary influences and permanent. If the following type of bad temperament is deemed to be uncorrectable by a licensed animal behavior professional, the puppy may be returned to its Seller/Breeder and the registration signed over to the Seller/Breeder.
A shy, oversensitive animal
Sharp-shy dog
Overly aggressive or vicious dog
The Seller/Breeder will accept the return of this dog at any time the purchaser declines to keep said dog, and AKC registration shall be signed over to the Seller/Breeder.
