Sandy Oak Chesapeakes
Sandy Oak Chesapeakes guarantees all breeding stock to be certified free of hip dysplasia and genetic eye defects. All of our breeding dogs are sound and free of any major genetic problems. Any non-Optigen tested bitches bred only to Optigen certified A dogs or A dogs by parentage.
All puppies will have dewclaws removed, will be wormed starting at 2 weeks of age, and will received their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Two copies of an instruction sheet are provided to all buyers with dates of vaccinations & wormings, both present & future, and will include the brand of vaccination/medication used, in addition to feeding instructions including specific brand of food. Puppies are not placed until 8 weeks of age.
Almost all Sandy Oak pups are sold with AKC Limited Registrations as we do not want our puppies bred indescriminately and/or without the necessary certifications at the very least. Our puppies eyes are guaranteed to be free of the PRA genes, and are guaranteed up to 30 months of age from other genetic eye defects. As carelessness or poor care on the part of the buyer can also result in problems that could appear to be genetic, we do not provide a blanket guarantee for hips or other parts of the skeletal anatomy. However, should a problem arise up to the age of 30 months of age of the dog, we most certainly wish to be notified and will take it under advisement as needed, which may include examination by either our vet or a specialist recommended by our vet. Then a determination would be made to the mutual satisfaction of both buyer and breeder.
Any guarantee is null and void if the dog exchanges ownership, is bred on an AKC Limited Registration, is bred before the age of 24 months, or is bred without appropriate certifications.
