We have taken all of the necessary precautions to ensure you are receiving a healthy puppy that will become a part of your family. They have been selectively bred for disposition, conformation, prospective abilities in the field and the show ring and overall quality. All puppies have been given a "well puppy" examination by our licensed and trusted veterinarian and have also received appropriate vaccinations and worming applications. All puppies have had their tails docked and dew-claws removed.
You need to protect your puppy. The environment in their new homes the first few months is vital for their good health and development. It can shape their growth, disposition and wellbeing. DO NOT take your puppy into public places or around strange animals- especially before they have had all of their vaccinations. This includes rest areas, Petsmart/Petco and any other places that are frequented by unknown animals. You never know who vaccinates and who doesn't and your puppy in vulnerable. Make sure their environment in clean, pest-free and void of problem-causing bacteria. This guarantee does not cover health problems or death due to non-congenital or non-life-threatening diseases, owner negligence, parasites, fungal or bacterial infections, feeding, flea/lice/mite/tick infestations, poisoning, environmental challenges, training and/or behavior problems, accidents, or injury due to strenuous activities participated in before the age of 24 months (field trials, hunting, roading, hiking, running, etc.) Puppies grow very fast and need to be protected against stress-induced hip dysplasia and growth defects. Buyer must recognize that intestinal parasites, fungal/bacterial infections (such as UTI) are not uncommon in puppies and very often appear in early development. We go through every length to prevent intestinal parasites and such infections in our puppies, however, the stress of going to a new home and environment can result in their appearance.
In the event that a situation arises and you cannot or do not wish to keep your puppy, we will ALWAYS take them back. In this case we are not obligated to refund any money paid towards the dog (initial cost, vet bills, travel cost, etc) But require the surrender of all health documents, records, registration, etc. If for any reason you sell, rehome or give away any of our puppies, buyer must contact us first before transfer. We can either take the dog back or assist you in finding an appropriate home. If buyer transfers dog without our knowledge guarantee is null and void at breeder's discretion. Guarantee is non-transferrable if breeder is not involved with second placement.
Take your puppy to the vet for an exam when you take them home. We try to vaccinate so that they are ready for the next one when they go to their new home. Buyers have 72 hours to have their veterinarian examine the puppy otherwise the health guarantee in void. Please let us know if a scheduling challenge arises. This exam is important so that they can meet your vet, and get on a vaccination, worming and preventative schedule. When buying a puppy, take into consideration of the dates and schedule an appointment early to avoid any conflicts. Buyer agrees to take responsibility of buying and owning a live animal and paying for any and all expenses incurred throughout their life to keep them in satisfactory condition.
Puppies need at least 4 vaccinations. I administer their first (sometimes second) vaccination and they need them in 2-4 week intervals. The 4th vaccination should be given AFTER 16 weeks to further prevent PARVO and DISTEMPER. Worming in puppies is done every 2 weeks before they leave our home. You should worm your puppy regularly, every 3-4 months, especially if they are exposed to wildlife, the outdoors and/or dog shows. It is very easy for puppies to get parasites, so make sure you follow dosage instructions and watch their stools. When choosing a new veterinarian, make sure you trust them completely and are comfortable. When it comes to procedures and advice, a second opinion can be helpful if you are in doubt. Rabies vaccinations should be given between 4-6 months old (depending on vet recommendations) and given by a professional. Our health guarantee is null and void if appropriate vaccinations and preventative care is not given or kept track of (even if given personally).
We guarantee that the buyer will be satisfied with the puppy purchased. If not satisfied, buyer can return the puppy (at buyers cost) and receive a refund (minus the deposit amount) or a replacement puppy (when available). Only valid for 24 hours after transfer. If puppy is found to be ill at time of initial vet check with a life-threatening disease or sickness, full refund or replacement will be awarded. In this case, buyer must have diagnosis from their veterinarian stating the illness. This must also fall within our 72 hour guarantee.
This puppy is guaranteed to be free of hip dysplasia for two years from their date of birth. Should your puppy develop dysplasia that renders them unsuitable as a pet, a replacement puppy (when available) or a 50% monetary refund (as soon as possible) will be given upon receipt of a certified letter from a licensed veterinarian attesting to the disorder and a copy of the OFA (orthopedic foundation for animals) evaluation report, a spay/neuter certificate and their AKC registration papers. Hip dysplasia can occur from physical, stress-related injuries and activities and also tick disease. If this occurs because of an accident, owner negligence or tick-related illness this hip guarantee is VOID. Said puppy is to be OFA certified before 26 months old. No breeding shall be allowed if the OFA evaluation is lower than FAIR. There shall be NO BREEDING before 24 months of age and/or before their OFA evaluation. Any breeding before 24 months and before the OFA evaluation will void this guarantee.
Large breed dogs require heavier nutrition between 3-6 months. Between birth and 6 months, puppies need to be on a quality, hi-protein diet of puppy food. After 6 months, we prefer to switch to an "ALL-LIFE-STAGES" food (such as Purina Pro Plan Sport) The food they eat can affect how much they poop, quality of coat, growth, skin, joint issues, allergies and weight.
We the breeders reserve the right to name our puppies and/or register them. All puppies will be registered before they leave our home. Registration will be completed and sent out by AKC after at least 2 weeks from the transfer date to ensure a good fit. Puppies will be assigned a registered name from a list/theme. ALL PUPPIES will have "AM's" at the beginning. You can call them whatever name you choose, but their registered name will go with the litter theme. Pick male and female will be co-owned with the breeder and stipulations will be dependent on each situation. Not all puppies are guaranteed AKC FULL REGISTRATION, especially if they do not meet the breed standard.
All puppies are believed to be in good health to the best of our knowledge. They are guaranteed sound and free from life threatening genetic defects for one year from their date of birth. This includes diseases or defects that significantly decrease their quality of life as a pet or result in having to euthanize. In the unlikely event that a problem should occur, a replacement or 50% monetary refund will be awarded (when possible) upon receipt of a certified letter from a licensed veterinarian, stating the diagnosis, a health record, showing all appropriate vaccinations and preventative care, a spay/neuter certificate and their AKC papers. It is not necessary to euthanize your dog if not essential to meet the requirements of this guarantee.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR VET BILLS OR ANY OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED
If you do not plan on breeding or showing and the dog will be a pet, please have them fixed. There is no need to have any unplanned or unwanted litters. If dog does not have passing OFA evaluation, said dog needs to be spayed/neutered. Dogs deemed not breeding/show quality or having a fault that makes them not comparable to the breed standard (bad bite, mismark, bad coat) should be spayed/neutered between 8-18 months (depending on your vets recommendation). If you think you might want to breed or show your dog, please have them evaluated to see if they would contribute to the breed... as not all gwp's should be bred.
BUYER MUST REALIZE THAT PARTICULAR BREEDS ARE PREDISPOSED TO A VARIETY OF HEALTH OBSTACLES AND ISSUES AND ARE ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTABLE AS PUPPIES. PLEASE RESEARCH YOUR CHOSEN BREED AND ALL THINGS COMMON.
WE GUARANTEE OUR PUPPIES FOR ONE YEAR FROM CONGENITAL LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES AND DISORDERS AND TWO YEARS FOR HIP DYSPLASIA.
