Hip Guarantee:

• The seller will provide the buyer with a replacement puppy from the next available litter (not necessarily from the same parents) should the dog be determined to have crippling hip dysplasia of genetic origin before the age of two. To qualify for this guarantee, the buyer shall have the dog's hips x-rayed by their veterinarian and provide a written evaluation to the seller.

However, evidence of obesity, nutritional deficiency, injury, abuse or premature stress on the dog's joints, or spaying/neutering before 18 months will nullify the hip guarantee. Recent studies indicate that inappropriate diet or activity and environmental factors contribute to hip dysplasia. Young dogs and puppies involved in fast running, exercise on hard surfaces, climbing numerous flights of stairs, and excessive jumping are at risk of developing hip dysplasia. Puppy bones and joints are not fully developed until at least 24 months of age. Buyer shall be responsible for all transportation costs regarding the terms of this agreement.

One Year Temperament Guarantee:

• If at any time during the first year, the puppy is found not to be compatible with the situation of the original purchaser, the puppy may be returned (along with their AKC certificate) to the seller for a replacement puppy.

• The puppy must have completed a puppy training class, and obedience class and be unaltered or unbred

• At no point during ownership will the puppy be tethered, left out in harsh conditions without any source of proper shelter, or left outside in a pen without being handled or attended to. This replacement is solely based on temperament, not the buyers inability to properly train the puppy.

• An evaluation must be made by the seller of the puppy to determine if it is a temperament issue.

• The breeder will always take any puppy back if the buyer is no longer able to keep the puppy. The puppy must be returned in good health. No refund or replacement puppy will be given.
