HEALTH GUARANTEE:

1. Puppy has a 48 hour health guarantee following delivery to the buyer. The buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a Veterinarian within the first 48 hours after delivery for a complete examination. Please keep your puppy off of the floor at the vet's office due to diseases.

If the veterinarian finds the puppy to have a serious physical condition other than a bacterial infection (such as Coccidia or Giardia, which are easily treated), the seller will do one of the following: (1) replace the puppy with another available puppy of comparable or better quality when available from the same litter or (2) receive a full refund. The puppy MUST be returned to the seller, and the condition as documented by the Veterinarian presented to the seller with sufficient supporting evidence.

If the puppy is not examined within 48 hours after delivery to the buyer, the above guarantee is no longer valid.

2. Each puppy comes with a Limited Genetic Health Guarantee against death or serious impairment of vital functions until the puppy is one year of age (unless stated as “special needs puppy”). If such inheritable diseases are documented by a Veterinarian and presented to the seller with sufficient supporting evidence, the buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy from the same litter (if available) or a full refund. The seller is not responsible for medical treatment to cure such anomalies. If you decide to keep said puppy, a partial refund will be considered on a case by case basis at the discretion of the seller, this guarantee is not applicable to any “special needs puppy” .

This guarantee does not cover what in the Bulldog breed consider normal or beyond our control: Cherry eyes, Entropion, Ectoropian. We cannot guarantee that the dog will not contract Mange. Mange is a multifactorial genetic disease that can be transmitted in a recessive manner. There is much dispute between experts as to the differing specific causes of mange, including environment, stress, and nutrition; therefore, we can not guarantee against it.

By signing this contract, it is assumed the buyer is fully aware of any breed specific predispositions.

This guarantee does not cover loose hips or hip dysplasia. Due to the abnormal build of bulldogs called “chondrodysplasia”, which stunts their leg growth, lengthens their back, and predisposes them to bone and joint issues.

We are not geneticists and cannot predict genetic problems. We do not breed dogs with undesirable conditions such as Mange, Loose Hips, E.T.C, we have DNA tested our dogs for the main conditions related to their breed and all are clear, they have also been evaluated by our Veterinarian for any physical abnormalities, however we cannot guarantee the previous generations did not have the above mentioned conditions in their lines, therefore we cannot guarantee against these conditions.

3. Your puppy will receive 1-3 vaccines depending on age, and will be de-wormed accordingly. Please keep your puppy away from any unhealthy pets or areas that may have been infected.
