First your puppy is guaranteed to be in good health and free of any communicable disease when delivered. Second, your puppy is guaranteed to be free from genetic defects. The breeder is providing the buyer a puppy which is a live animal. Like all live species, many external conditions affect the long and short term health of your puppy such as: how the puppy is treated, environment, interaction, and nourishment. Breeder has no control over these conditions after the puppy is delivered. Buyer is required to take this puppy to a licensed veterinarian for a routine health screening, on the date noted on the signature page which coincides with the next scheduled new puppy visit, but in any case no later than 2 weeks after receipt of puppy. Failure to do so voids and nullifies the Puppy Guarantee. Upon initial exam should the attending licensed veterinarian diagnose any condition detrimental to the puppy’s general health or conclude that the puppy is defective and unfit for purchase due to the puppy's general health, notify the breeder immediately. Failure to notify the breeder of veterinarian’s report immediately following said examination will void and nullify the Puppy Guarantee. Breeder warrants the purchased puppy against any genetic defect for a one (1) year period following date of purchase which would render the puppy unfit as a pet. In the event that such a defect in the puppy is discovered within the one year period, following examination by a licensed veterinarian and verified in writing by said veterinarian, which causes the inability to use the puppy for the purpose of which it was intended, which is a household pet, then a replacement puppy will be offered. Breeder shall furnish buyer with a replacement puppy of similar quality and value at breeder’s convenience. Repaired hernias are not covered under this warranty. Unrepaired hernias are not covered under this warranty. No Vet expenses are covered under this warranty. In connection with the above warranties, buyer hereby expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall breeder be liable to buyer for consequential damages of any sort including but not limited to veterinary examination and treatment. This warranty constitutes the complete warranty between the breeder and the buyer and no other representations, promises or warranties apply, either stated or implied. No warranties in any manner are expressed regarding the show prospects of your puppy. If your puppy has a show fault that renders the dog unable or undesirable to be bred or shown, that is not the fault of the breeder and is the chance you take buying a puppy. Although a puppy looks promising, show quality cannot be guaranteed. Your puppy is sold as a pet with no guarantees for breeding, showing or any other purpose other than as a pet. Buyer agrees to assume all cost for the routine health screening and/or any subsequent exams and/or any services or medical treatments performed by a licensed veterinarian. No reimbursement will be made to any veterinarian or buyer for veterinarian services by the breeder under any circumstances. Replacement shall be conditional upon receipt of a signed veterinarian's certificate clearly stating the disease responsible for such condition together with return of the puppy which is certified to be unfit. The buyer shall be responsible for all shipping costs associated with return of the defective puppy. The provisions of this warranty shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws and statutes of the State of California. The venue for any litigation concerning the warranty will be limited to Kern County, California, under a non-jury proceeding. Should the Puppy Guarantee become applicable, all documents pertaining to the puppy must be returned to the breeder at the expense of the buyer. Documents include but are not limited to Registration Application, original Vaccination and Health Certificate, all reports prepared by the attending veterinarian, shipping manifest, etc. Failure to comply will void and nullify the Puppy Guarantee.
