HEALTH GUARANTEE

This agreement is for the benefit of both the buyer and seller.

The breeder guarantees that your puppy will be in good health at the time of purchase and will be current on all vaccines and deworming medication. (According to age) as stated on puppy's health record. We recommend that you take the puppy to your veterinarian (at your cost) after you receive your puppy.

All puppies will have had a physical health exam from my veterinarian and deemed healthy prior to leaving my home. (Unless discussed or stated otherwise.) This guarantee is valid for a period of 72 hours after the date of pickup.

During this time frame if the buyer's veterinarian should find that your puppy has a life-threatening or fatal illness, or disease which may have originated from my facility at this exam, a replacement puppy of equal value will be given. Buyer must inform breeder within 24 hours of diagnosis.

Buyer will then return puppy, (at a time/date specified by breeder) at buyers' expense, along with a signed document from a licensed veterinarian describing his findings and puppy's condition, and all other paperwork that was given along with puppy. A replacement puppy will be given as soon as one is available. No refund in part or whole will be given.

This guarantee does not include injuries incurred on your part after the puppy is in your possession.

Please note that I do not guarantee for undescended testicles, small umbilical hernias, proper bite, as these do not affect the pet quality of the puppy/dog and will not affect their health or life span.

Breeder is not responsible for Parvo, Distemper, Corona Virus after 48 hours of sale. These are highly contagious diseases and can be contacted after leaving the breeder's premises.

Breeder does not guarantee size, color, temperament, or shedding factor.

The breeder has taken all precaution and done everything possible to prevent normal puppy conditions from occurring, like coccidiosis, giardia, kennel cough, parasites, or any other bacterial infections, these conditions can be brought on by the stress of being rehomed. These are all treatable and are not reasons to warrant a return or exchange. Breeder is not responsible to cover the cost of worms, parasites or urinary tract infections or any other vet bills or expenses.

If you choose not to have your puppy examined by a veterinarian within the 72-hour timeframe and email the signed vet examination form to the breeder at familyraisedpuppies@yahoo.com Then this contract/warranty will be null and void.
