CONTRACT

The 5-year health guarantee provided for dogs purchased with limited UKC, CKC,  registration, or no registration covers genetic defects that could cause the dog to die or have a significantly poor quality of life. This includes conditions such as heart defects, complete blindness, inability to walk due to hip dysplasia or patella luxation, and cancer that is fatal to the dog. To make a claim under this guarantee, a licensed veterinarian and a specialist must provide two separate written evaluations. If the dog passes away, an autopsy must be performed.Animals sold with full registration means at time of sale there are no known defects that would prevent an animal from being shown or bred, but no one can guarantee the future. Guarantee is null and void if the dog is bred prior to 12 months of age.

Guarantee is for person purchasing the dog only; any transfers of ownership makes the entire health guarantee null and void

Please note NO money will be refunded. This includes medical expenses– any treatments and expenses you incur from the puppy are completely the buyer’s responsibility. The buyer will be given a replacement animal of the same quality with a different genetic make-up within one year’s time.

Exclusions from the guarantee include allergies, infectious diseases like kennel cough, cherry eye, pinched nostrils, freak accidents, suspected mistreatment, hernias, parasites, mild thyroid conditions, mild heart murmurs, and other issues not under the control of Home of Doodles and Poodles. The guarantee also does not cover issues related to breeding stock, size, color, bite, show ring placement, or reproductive capabilities of the animal.

There is a separate 2-year guarantee against hip dysplasia caused by genetics (not injury), patella luxation of grade 3 or higher, heart murmurs, and thyroid conditions. The guarantee does not cover issues related to size, color, bite, height, weight, show ring placement, or reproductive capabilities. It is important to note that the guarantee is for the sold animals only, and potential issues with the offspring of the sold animal are not covered.

Overall, the guarantee aims to provide assurance to buyers regarding genetic health issues that may affect the dog's quality of life or longevity, with specific criteria and exclusions outlined for clarity

  If no replacement puppy is born within a one-year span, a financial refund will be issued to the buyer.

  The seller, may choose to offer a refund at his/her discretion if he/she feels the buyer cannot be happy with a replacement, but this decision rests with her and not the buyer.

  The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs and/or pickup when acquiring a replacement puppy.

2. **Owner Surrender**:

  If a buyer is unable to keep the dog/puppy, the Seller must be notified. The seller will take the puppy/dog back at any time, no questions asked.

  If the buyer surrenders the puppy/dog, no refund or replacement will be given. Surrendering the dog/puppy to an animal shelter is not allowed.

3. **Vaccination Information**:

   - By 8 weeks of age, the puppy has only had one set of shots from the vet, which includes DA2PP (distemper, adenovirus type 2, parvovirus, parainfluenza).

 The puppy will need two more shots given at 3-week intervals to complete the series.

 The puppy is not immune to these diseases until it has received the whole series of shots.

 It is advised to treat the puppy like a baby and avoid placing it on the ground in public areas with unknown dogs until it has received the third and final shot.
