We make a great
effort to produce healthy, genetically sound pups with great interest in birds
and hunting; but, if for a genetic reason your puppy is unsatisfactory in the
areas of physical health or natural ability, the following sales agreement is
in effect to avoid misunderstandings and to ensure fairness to our clients as
well as to ourselves.
If upon arrival
your puppy is not as it was represented by us in the areas of physical
description, personality, or ability, it may be returned to us the day after
arrival for a replacement. This only covers puppies that are shipped.
You have seven
(7) days in which to have your veterinarian examine your pup for any health
problems. If there is a problem that cannot be rectified, you may return the
puppy to us the day following the vet exam with a veterinarian’s statement for
a replacement puppy. Return of the puppy is the responsibility of the buyer.
The breeder accepts no responsibility for the veterinarian expenses after the
puppy leaves the breeder’s care. If we do not hear from you within seven (7)
days, we will assume that you are satisfied and that the pup is in good health.
The replacement will be reserved from the next available litter that would
produce puppies meeting the description of the original puppy.
If your dog
develops any of the following conditions, it shall be replaced by the breeder
with another puppy of equal value and similar quality, upon return of the
original dog. The replacement will be reserved from the next available litter
that would produce puppies meeting the description of the original dog. The
replacement shall be supplied free of all charges except shipping. If the value
of the replacement puppy is greater than the original purchase price, the buyer
will be responsible for paying the difference. The following portion of this
agreement is covered by replacement only. We don not five full or partial
refunds.
In the event that
the buyer makes a claim for a replacement puppy due to a genetic physical defect,
the breeder reserves the right to have our veterinarian examine any x-rays. The
breeder may also demand that the dog be returned and evaluated by our
veterinarian. If the claim is made due to the dog lacking natural hunting
ability, the breeder may demand the dog be returned so that the breeder may
evaluate the dog’s ability.
If, before the
age of thirteen (13) months, it is determined that the dog
Lacks the natural ability for hunting, or
Has limited interest in birds or hunting, or
Is untrainable, or
Shows unstable or vicious temperament, or
Has developed a serious genetic or congenital defect, it will be
replaced.
If, before the
age of twenty-seven (27) months, the dog develops:
Hip dysplasia, as evaluated by the Orthopedic Foundation for
Animals, or
Progressive Retinal Atrophy and/or Congenital Cataract, as
certified by an ACVO Diplomate veterinary
ophthalmologist, it will be replaced.
The buyer has
several responsibilities for the terms of this guarantee to remain in effect:
1) The breeder must be notified within fifteen (15) days of
diagnosis of hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, congenital cataract or
other defect that would be considered serious.
2) The dog must be returned to the breeder within thirty (30) days
after the breeder is notified of defect.
3) All shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
4) Buyers are responsible for all of their own veterinary fees.
