BREEDERS RESPONSIBILITIES:

Breeders agree to provide the new owners after full payment with the following:

  a signed registration and/or transfer form

  record of vaccinations and deworming to date

Health Guarantees:

At the time of sale, Breeder believes the puppy is a healthy, sound, quality puppy that is current on all vaccinations.  Puppies' health is guaranteed for 3 days after pick-up or shipment.  We do not guarantee against Parvo, Corona or Giardia after 3 days of purchase.  Buyer agrees to have puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 3 days.  If the veterinarian detects a life threatening health issue that cannot be corrected or controlled by medication within that period, a full refund of purchase price or a replacement puppy of equal value, if one is available, will be given upon the return of puppy and registration papers. Shipping charges to and from for a replacement puppy will  be at Buyers expense.  Buyer must provide a written statement from the examining veterinarian detailing the health problem. If a puppy is determined to be suffering from an active parasitic infection within the first three days, Breeder will be required to compensate Buyer for just the medications prescribed by a licensed veterinarian for the treatment of said infection. Medications for illnesses that are common in puppies that are shipped will not be covered (eg., Kennel Cough, Coccidia).  If the Buyer fails to take the puppy to be examined by a licensed veterinarian or if the Buyer decides to keep the puppy after discovering a problem, the Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary costs incurred.  The Breeder has the right to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian of the Breeders choice, at the Breeders expense, for a second opinion.

Puppies' hips and elbows are guaranteed for the first year from any dysplasia caused by a genetic defect as deemed by 2 licensed veterinarians of Breeders choice.  Guarantee does not include dysplasia from, but not limited to the following:

Poor Nutrition

Over supplementation

Mistreatment

Trauma

Injury from jumping or falling

Accidents not in the Breeders control

Should the puppy develop dysplasia caused by genetic faults as outlined above, the Breeder will have the following options:

     a) The Buyer may return the puppy to the Breeder and the Breeder will replace the puppy with another equal quality puppy when one becomes available.  The puppy may remain unaltered at the discretion of the Breeder.

     b) The Buyer may decide to keep the puppy if they so wish, thus assuming all future medical bills, potential problems and the breeder will be released from the constraints of the guarantee & contract. However, as compensation the Breeder will refund one half of the buyers original purchase price.

The Breeder has the right to seek a second opinion by a veterinarian of choice.  If any disputes arise as to the cause or validity of the injury, both parties agree to select a third mutually agreed upon veterinarian specialist in the diagnosed problem to resolve the dispute.  Expense for such specialist consultation will be split evenly between the Buyer and Breeder.

Recognizing the unique nutritional requirement of the breed, this guarantee shall be null and void if the dog has been given calcium or vitamin supplementation of any kind that has not been first agreed upon between Breeder and Buyer in writing, even if recommended by a veterinarian.

If for any reason you can not keep the dog sometime in the future, we ask that you contact us and we will try and find a home for him/her. Contract and Warranty is non-transferrable.

This written agreement is a binding contract entered into the State of Louisiana and is the entire agreement between the buyer/customer and seller/breeder concerning the health conditions or loss of this puppy. Any litigation commenced shall take place in the State of Louisiana in Union Parish.
