Health Guarantee:

 

I hope that you will enjoy your puppy for years to come.  I have taken steps to ensure that your new puppy is healthy.  Your puppy has been selectively bred for quality, health, soundness, intelligence and good temperament.  All puppies will be current on vaccinations, tails docked (unless other arrangements were made with Purchaser), dew claws removed and will have been regularly dewormed at the time of sale.  Any umbilical hernia will engender an automatic $50 reduction in the overall cost of the puppy, no further adjustment or refunds will be made for an umbilical hernia.

 

The Seller guarantees the puppy to be in good health at the time of delivery.  In the unlikely event that there is a problem my guarantee follows:

 

What’s covered:

 

My puppies are guaranteed against life threatening congenital (birth) defects within one year from birth.  It is very rare for a problem to arise after the pup’s first birthday.  My guarantee does not include poisoning, accidents, or behavioral problems, as training philosophies and environments vary among individuals.

 

What’s Required:

 

_________New owners are required to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 3 business days of receiving the puppy.  I, as the seller have already provided current puppy shots and at least three wormings for your pup (as noted in the medical history you received with the pup).  I require you to keep your pup on a vaccination schedule (as delineated on your puppy packet cover sheet) and routine wormings.  Failure to have puppy examined invalidates the coccidia/giardia portion of this contract.

 

_________Purchaser must recognize that intestinal parasites are not uncommon in puppies and very often appear during a puppies’ early development due to their immature immune system.  I go to every length to prevent intestinal parasites in my puppies.  However, the Purchaser must realize that in a previously asymptomatic puppy, the stress of going to a new home and travel can actually result in the appearance of intestinal parasites after the puppy leaves.  To that end, should the puppy manifest intestinal distress caused by giardia or coccidia diagnosed by a veterinarian (in writing on letterhead) and within 2 weeks of the pickup date, the seller will refund the cost of medicines to treat those protozoa (for the period of accepted medical treatment for the initial outbreak).  This does not include diagnostic tests or veterinarian office charges.

 

What will be done:

 

If the above requirements have been met, you may choose a replacement pup (of equal quality), buyer pays shipping, from any of my litters (within 6 months) subject to availability, paying the difference in price if you desire a more expensive puppy. 

 

Return of animal:

 

Purchaser may return a puppy for any reason; however, there is a sliding scale of refund - the purchase price minus 10 to 50%.  Up to 10 weeks – 10%, 11 weeks – 20%, 12 weeks – 30%, 13 weeks – 40%, 14 weeks to 6 months – 50%.  If the puppy has been damaged or suffered due to lack of care, the refund will be further reduced by the cost of treatment.  This refund price may be adjusted if puppy is resold for a greater amount than the refund.  This is good until the puppy is 6 months old. 

 

If your puppy develops a life-threatening defect (such as heart or other organ problems) during its first year of life, it may be returned for a full refund or an exchange for a puppy from another litter (within 6 months).

 

________Under no circumstances will a refund be given without the return of the animal.

 

________Purchaser agrees to return the animal, without recompense if older than 6 months, if they are unable to care for it and unable to find an appropriate home.  Under no circumstances will a D’Tresors dog be surrendered to an animal shelter.

 

I do NOT guarantee size or fitness for breeding.

 

VETERINARIAN AND SHIPPING COSTS ARE NON REFUNDABLE.

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY MONEY BEYOND THE INITIAL COST OF THE PUPPY BE RETURNED TO THE SELLER.

 

This is a legal and binding agreement between Seller and Purchaser.  This contract will be enforced and buyer will be responsible for any legal expenses (i.e., attorney fees, court costs, etc.), regardless of where it is signed.  If Purchaser wishes to take legal action regarding this contract, they are responsible for all legal expenses (i.e., attorney fees, court costs, etc.) for both parties.  Purchaser and Seller agree the proper venue for any legal action terms and conditions of this agreement shall take place in Island County, Washington.

 

We the undersigned have read, understood and agree with the terms of this contract.
