It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to a Veterinarian of his/her choice and gives five days from the date of delivery of the puppy in which to do so. If, within those five days, a veterinarian finds the puppy to be unsound, unhealthy, or possessing a serious genetic defect, a statement in writing must be provided by that veterinarian documenting said condition for Breeders' veterinarian to review. Upon confirmation from Breeders' vet of said condition, Buyer may return the puppy, registration and all of his/her effects to the Breeder and receive a full, immediate refund of the purchase price.
This puppy is guaranteed not to develop PRA or pass on the gene for PRA as both of the parents are negative for the gene via parentage or by testing.
This puppy is guaranteed to pass OFA hip certification (**with the exceptions as noted) through the age of 30 months (2 ½ years). If a puppy is thought to have a genetic defect, hip X-rays must be taken per OFA recommendations and submitted to The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Puppy must be microchipped and DNA'ed. Copies of OFA finding must be submitted to the seller/ breeder . Defects must be proven to be genetic and not caused by environmental factors or mishandling by the buyer. ** As subluxation, OCD, HOD and Pano can be the results of poor nutrition, improper exercise and/or excessive crating no warrantee shall apply for these conditions. It is the breeders opinion that unilateral dysplasia and DJD grade 1 is non-genetic and of injury or nutritional origin.
