Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes
There is a one year health guarantee on all pups, with replacement of a pup for congenital malformation or disorders.
Any pup leaving will be healthy to our knowledge and experience and we take every precaution to insure the safety of all of our animals, but because we have no control over the animal once it leaves our kennel, We accept no responsibility for the death or illness of animals which may be brought on by/or as a direct result of shipping or exposure to other animals and environments. All puppies shipped via airline are insured for the trip.
We do guarantee the health of the puppy for 72 hours after purchase and shipment and the pup must be seen by a veterinarian at your expense within the 72 hours after shipment.
If the puppy dies or becomes sick from an illness within the 72 hour guarantee time, we will replace the puppy (see replacement details below) or refund the purchase price less shipping charges.
Adults one year or older are sold on an as-is basis with a 30 day guarantee only.
This guarantee does not cover well puppy visits, regular vaccines, de-worming, or any other veterinary care or medications.
All veterinary care is the responsibility of the owner.
This Guarantee is made by Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes Kennel to the buyer. The buyer should not assume that any guarantee follows the dog in the event the buyer transfers ownership of the dog to another party, it does not.
After 72 hours if the guarantee applies, no money will be refunded and another "like" (limited to the original purchase price paid) pup will be given in its place.
Any claims as a result of this guarantee must be made within the 72 hour time period, or the 1 year time frame for congenital defects.
Any claims as a result of this guarantee must be accompanied by a veterinary statement and any other documentation required by Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes Kennel.
The decision to replace will be at the sole discretion of Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes Kennel.
In a replacement situation, the pup or adult must be returned to Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes (shipping at the expense of the buyer).
If the buyer elects to keep the pup/dog, no replacement will be issued and the owner shall be considered to have forfeited all claims.
No replacement will be made to any owner who has his/her dog destroyed or makes the dog unavailable for autopsy by a veterinarian acceptable to Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes.
Replacement is limited to the original amount paid for a pup/dog. In the event the owner chooses a dog that is more expensive than the one being replaced, the cash difference must be paid to Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes according to our payment policies above. Shipping costs are always the responsibility of the owner.
All replacements must be made within 90 days.
If the owner chooses not to accept a replacement within the time limit stated above / or refuses to pay the balance of the purchase price, if any, of the selected replacement pup/dog, then the owner shall be considered to have forfeited all claims.
Acceptance of replacement puppy finalizes the guarantee and the owner shall be considered to have forfeited all future claims.
In the event a replacement puppy is unavailable, Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes will extend the replacement time period. The extension may be renewed every 90 days (with a final 6 month limit) by written request (non-email) of the owner. Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes reserves the right to refuse any further extensions if the owner who is due a replacement fails to accept a particular puppy that he/she has requested to be held. If arrangements cannot be made to ship the pup or the owner refuses to pick him/her up by 8 weeks of age, the owner will be responsible for any additional handling fees and charges and the pup can then be sold to a legitimate buyer.
HipDysplasia:
Hip Dysplasia is a malformation of the ball and socket joint of the hip. The problem, not an exclusive canine disorder, exists in most domestic species - including humans. Depending upon the severity of the disease, the dog may or may not become lame. Many affected dogs lead normal lives. This ailment is considered a possible hereditary trait (not scientifically proven to be hereditary) with irregular penetrance, meaning normal parents are capable of producing abnormal offspring. It has also been proven in various recent studies that, to a large degree, environmental factors as well as diet and exercise play a major role in the development of Hip Dysplasia. Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes maintains a breeding program to eliminate Hip Dysplasia as much as humanly possible.
Under no circumstances will any puppy be replaced if complete and detailed records and the puppy itself are made unavailable for Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes’ inspection or inspection by someone designated by Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes for that purpose.
Under no circumstance will cash be refunded at any time, nor will a puppy of greater value be given as a replacement.
Your puppy’s hips are guaranteed as follows:
This puppy is fully guaranteed against crippling Hip Dysplasia for up to one year. Any puppy found to be severely dysplastic and unable to function as a household pet must be properly diagnosed by at least two veterinarians qualified to properly evaluate Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky types of Hip Dysplasia. The dog must be returned to Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes accompanied by complete X-ray, and health records. When these conditions have been met and a puppy of equal value is available, replacement will be made according to the conditions above.
Abuse and/or Neglect:
Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes HEREBY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE REPLACEMENT OF ANY DOG RETURNED FOR TEMPERAMENT OR HIP PROBLEMS CAUSED BY OWNER ABUSE OR NEGLIGENCE.
Any puppy that is abused and/or neglected in the following manner (but not limited to these descriptions) may quickly develop hip problems: kept grossly overweight, or has been kept unchecked for worm infestation, kicked down stairs, kept constantly confined to cold, damp basements, or required to perform extreme physical activities (such as agility jumps or weight pulling) during their ‘growth period’. A dog not socialized, beaten and/or tortured will develop ‘temperament’ problems. These ‘man-made’ problems which are not caused by a hereditary defect are NOT the responsibility of Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes. Hudson's Huskies and Malamutes further reserves the right to examine any questionable conditions pertaining to said puppy’s health and welfare at the Owner’s expense.
The guarantee is null and void if the pup/adult in question:
1) has been bred on or before the agreed guarantee time frame on an Unlimited Registration
2) has not been spayed/neutered as agreed in the above contract on a Limited Registration.
Any legal filings by the buyer must be filed in the Cookeville, Putnam County, Tennessee Jurisdiction and the buyer will be responsible for all legal expenses incurred by Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes in any case filed by the buyer that is ruled in the favor of Hudson's Huskies & Malamutes
