Health Guarantee Microsoft Word Health Guarantee Adobe Acrobat

Shipping and ear cropping are not a part of this guarantee and will not be refunded.

Please read the following agreement. If you have any questions, please ask for clarification.
To the best of my knowledge, this puppy is in good health at the time of delivery. Buyer has three working days to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian.   Failing to do so will void your health guarantee. If the veterinarian discovers the puppy to be unsound, it can be returned within the three day period for a refund of the purchase price or replaced with a puppy of equal value if available. This is provided the puppy is returned with a letter from the examining veterinarian stating in what respect the puppy is unsound. No refunds after the three day warranty period.
Breeder will not replace or refund for any reason but not limited to allergy, mortality, landlord’s disapproval, family disagreement or any other problems not related to health. Nor for a puppy’s illness caused by neglect, exposure to weather, injury, choking, poisoning, etc. No warranty or guarantee is made to the disposition, life-span, size, color, show quality, or breeding quality of any puppy. Breeder will not be liable for any expenses including but not limited to any veterinary bills or other expenses. Should a licensed veterinarian diagnose the puppy with a life threatening birth defect, or genetic defect, the Breeder will replace the puppy, limited to two years from the date of purchase. No refund or replacement will be made on a deceased puppy until a necropsy is performed to determine cause of death. Such necropsy must be performed by an accredited institution set up for such procedures such as the University of North Carolina. A necropsy performed by a local veterinarian will not be accepted. All expenses will be paid by the owner of the pup. The necropsy will accompany any request for replacement or refund.

I do not guarantee any Huckleberry Schnauzer Patch Puppy that has been given leptospirosis. Vaccination must be no less than two weeks apart and no more than three weeks apart for a series of three to four vaccinations depending on your veterinarian. Rabies vaccines cannot be administered before 16 weeks of age. If you allow your veterinarian to do any of these vaccinations too early, your guarantee is voided.

Retained testicles and hernias are excluded from this guarantee. The buyer must contact the breeder immediately upon discovery of an illness or defect. Any delay in doing so, voids this guarantee. The breeder at this time has the right to have the puppy examined by her veterinarian, at the buyer’s expense. This guarantee is null and void upon any evidence of abuse or neglect, or if the buyer fails to have yearly checkups with a qualified veterinarian. Proof of said maintenance must be furnished upon request of breeder. No guarantee is given for any kind of worm, coccidiosis, or giardia. These parasites are all too common to pups and can be contracted from your water, soil or boarding facility. Your puppy has been wormed frequently from three weeks of age until your possession. It is your responsibility to continue to worm your puppy and check for parasites. Your pup should be wormed every three weeks until it is placed on a monthly heartworm preventative (Required). Internal flea preventatives that contain pesticides, like Capstar, are not acceptable and will void your guarantee. Frontline, Advantage, Revolution, or Sentinel is recommended for flea prevention. No guarantee is given for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This condition is not hereditary and is very preventable. This guarantee is non-transferable. Please be conscientious about vaccinating your puppy properly.

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO REGISTER YOUR PUPPY WITH ANY DOG REGISTRY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE PREFIX OF "HUCKLEBERRY'S" IN THE NAME OF YOUR DOG OR THIS GUARANTEE IS VOID.

Any claims made will require proof of such registration. AKC papers, health record, vet records and any other registry papers must accompany any claims on this guarantee. Any dog that has sired or whelped one or more pups is no longer covered under this guarantee.
