When you take your puppy home, I will give you my written health guarantee and a certificate from the vet stating the pup is healthy.
Below you will find a copy of my health guarantee. It also has the purchase price of the puppy listed at the bottom and acts as a receipt for you. I guarantee the general health of my pups for 14 days and the genetic health for a one year period.
Many breeders only guarantee the general health of a pup for 3 or 4 days after the pup goes to a new home. I don’t feel this is long enough as some contagious diseases have a fairly long incubation period. Distemper for instance has a 6 - 9 day incubation period and if a puppy came down with Distemper during that period it is clear that the pup had the disease before it left the breeders property. Fortunately I have never had a contagious disease in any of my dogs or the pups that I have sold, but I still want the buyer to be protected by the health guarantee.
I also guarantee the genetic health of the pup for a one year period. This would cover things such as joint problems, eye problems, heart problems or other things that are considered to be passed on from the parents. The pup would need to be returned to me at which point I will refund the full purchase price of the pup or replace the puppy with a puppy of the same type and quality.
