As the seller we make every effort to see that all the puppies we place are physically and mentally sound. However, as with all living creatures there are still occasionally defects that are out of our control. Which is why we offer the health and temperament guarantee’s that we do and will stand behind our puppies as listed in this contract.

Each puppy is raised in a loving environment with kids, a cat and other dogs and raised to be a wonderful , loving member of the family.

 

Each puppy has seen our veterinarian at least once before going to its new home and will go to its new home healthy and with a current health certificate.

 

Each puppy has received appropriate vaccinations and deworming for its age and to supply records to the new owner for continuing care with their veterinarian.

The Seller is here as a resource and contact for the new owners in times of need or to just chat and visit if buyer wants. We are only a phone call away.

What does our guarantee mean?

 

Our health guarantee means that we have invested allot of time in raising quality puppies, I won't get into all the work required for health testing, hours of genetic research, pedigree research, hours of e-mail, paperwork and phone calls, hours of training and grooming dogs, socializing puppies and cleaning kennels, sore backs and aching muscles, physical and mental stress, just to name a few things we do to make sure each puppy we produce is top quality.

 

What this also means is that you are assured we put only the healthiest lines and dogs into our breeding program and are very confident that our pups will have no problems for their lifetime, otherwise we would be replacing all the time. So, you can be assured you will get a healthy happy pet for a lifetime. Most breeders guarantee for 1 year (or not at all) but what they don't tell you is that most problems will not show up till later in life and at that point you are on your own as the guarantee has expired. So not only is a pup from us covered under these guarantees but you are also have peace of mind that you should not encounter any problems.
