Our Health Guarantee

Our puppies never leave without the first of their series of boosters completed and shots and deworming up to date and age appropriate to the point in which they leave our care. The schedule is also provided to their new families so the following boosters can be given in a timely manner. All new families also should be aware that puppies are not immune to parvovirus until the end of their booster series and pups should have limited exposure to other dogs, frequented dog areas and pups should not be exposed to other dogs fecal matter.

Vaccines are very helpful and useful but unfortunately are not 100% effective all of the time. Sometimes not all strains can be protected against with a single vaccine. You can still be effected with the Flu after a flu shot and puppy vaccines are not any different. It's important to give your puppy the maximum amount of protection possible against disease as possible but they are not foolproof.Many factors from storage to timing to the puppies ability to produce immunities will all play a factor.

There are several conditions that animals will get that can be hereditary but can also be attributed to environmental factors. Yes certain breeds are prone to hip dysplasia but an over weight dog, strenuous exercise, and early pregnancy among other issues will also cause it. It is important to research and know what you need to provide for your puppy for optimum health.

Your dog should be continued on a high quality diet. Their food is very important to their health. If you are considering changes your brand of food please do a comparison and research the ingredients on Dog Food Chat or The Dog Food Project

We would love to guarantee against all forces of nature and manner of illness and promise that your puppy will be happy and healthy for as long as you both shall live. We would love that for both you and your new puppy. Unfortunately that can't always happen and sometimes "life" interjects. Because of this we HIGHLY encourage that you provide your puppy with pet insurance to help in times of crisis or accident. Some conditions and injuries can become very costly and insurance will help you bring your puppy home again.

Most behavioral concerns are learned behaviors and not a result of breeding. We strongly encourage you attend puppy classes for socialization and at least one or two obedience and training classes. Watch The Dog Whisperer on national geographic or on Youtube. Learn the ways you may inadvertantly reinforcing behaviors you will not find acceptable in your adult dog.

A lot of behavioral concerns can be rectified with spaying or neutering your puppy. This is the best option for a dog kept as a pet. It will also reduce many health issues including cancer that your dog may deal with later in life. Please have your pet fixed by 5-7 months of age.

It is strongly encouraged that every new pet should visit the vet as soon as possible after you purchase/adopt them. This provides you with peace of mind and will help to keep any existing pets in the home healthy. It is important to ease your mind, as a "new mom" that the puppy is indeed healthy or if so that if anything is amiss you can bring the pup back to us. At this exam no shots should be given, just a routine exam. We suggest that it gets done within the first 3 days so that if anything is wrong we take the puppy back or pay the medication required. It also allows you to treat any undiagnosed issues prior to them becoming major concerns. Whenever possible make your vet appointment for the same day as you are looking to purchase your pet, you can always cancel it if you don't find the right puppy, but being prepared is most important.

Finding a good vet will be a challenge in itself. Ask your friends for recommendations. Whenever possible call and get quotes from three different vets on routine care like shots and spaying/neutering. The closest vet to you may not be the best one. Find a vet with reasonable costs, great service and broad knowledge base. Don't be afraid to ask for a second opinion from another vet as they vary widely. Remember that vets often own their own practices and unlike doctors are pretty much free to set their own prices and recommend whatever procedures they feel may help but may not be necessary. 

The puppies we raise are meant to go into their homes to be pets and companions. They will not come with any purebred registration. We do not know if they will be optimum breeding dogs but expect that they will be fixed. Most of our dog have been raised here and a lot of them we own several in their line. We are confident in there breed and that they will be good representatives of their breed.

We expect that everyone who takes one of our puppies home does it with the intent of raising a lifelong companion. We do know that sometimes "life" happens and that can't always be the case. We do ask that before your dog or puppy be rehomed, that we are given the first right of refusal. We would love the puppy to come back here so that we can help find him or her a new home. We expect that this option will be the one that is taken and that none of our puppies will ever end up in a Shelter environment. We will deal with any of these cases on a per case basis by means of renumeration for the original puppy owner. We do also know that sometimes a puppy may not be deemed the "right fit" and a return needs to be facillitated. In order to maintain a healthy environment against outside contagion, we have biosecurity protocols in effect so any returned animals need to go through a quarantine period. This does incur a return fee on any possible refund portion of $500. 

There are issues that can be missed prior to us releasing a new puppy. Several issues that might be of concern to a puppy may have incubation periods that show themselves after purchase or they may be in the process of developing at the time of purchase. We do want to be made aware when these things crop up and to thank you for letting us know we are wiling to cover any medications that may be prescribed in the first week after purchase.

We recognize that some genetic issues may not present themselves right away to us or to a puppies new owner. It is in our breeding programs best interest to know about anything that may crop up and be deemed of a genetic disturbance. To thank you for making us aware of any such issues we provide a 2 year guarantee on our puppies against any genetic issues. We will not ask you to relinquish your pet to redeem this guarantee but will reimburse you half of your purchase price with documentation and confirmation.
