Buyer has 72 (workday) hours after purchase and posession to take the puppy to a state licensed veterinarian. If upon examination the veterinarian finds said puppy in seriously ill health Buyer must notify Seller within 24 hours. Buyer shall return the puppy to Seller with all the veterinarian documentation. Seller shall replace said puppy with another puppy of equal value immediately, or as soon as one is available or return full purchase price of the puppy. Return of purchase price applies ONLY if puppy is found to be seriously ill within the first 72 hours due to a pre-existing (before transfer) condition. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and veterinarian costs. Any puppy returned must be returned with AKC registration papers mailed separately if puppy

Seller offers a 24-month guarantee for Hereditary Mitral Valve Disease (MVD). A dog with clinical signs of the disease will be eligible for replacement according to the terms of this contract. This guarantee applies only to a dog that is diagnosed with MVD that has caused debilitating effects on the dog within the first 24 months. The diagnosis must be
determined by x-ray and ultrasound, taken and evaluated by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist. If the puppy is sold out of state, the licensed cardiologist's diagnosis must be made and submitted to Seller, along with x-rays and ultrasound findings to be evaluated by Seller's veterinary cardiologist. If sold locally, the puppy in question will be evaluated as above. Seller reserves the right to obtain a second opinion.
Seller offers a 12 month guarantee on any other life threatening genetic condition (i.e. heart, lung, liver or major organ) on said puppy diagnosed to be hereditary. The licensed veterinarian's diagnosis must be made and submitted in writing along with x-ray and ultrasound findings to the Seller by the attending veterinarian within 14 days of the initial diagnosis. If the puppy is sold locally, the puppy in question will then be taken to a licensed veterinarian of the Seller's choice along with the first diagnosis and original x-ray and ultrasound findings for a second opinion. If the puppy was sold out of state, Seller requires a second opinion from another licensed veterinarian within Buyer's area chosen by the Seller and at the Seller's expense, in order to verify the diagnosis. Should Buyer fail to obtain a written diagnosis within 14 days, and fail to forward diagnosis to Seller, all guarantees will be null and void and no further guarantees will be offered. Should the first and second opinions be conclusive of hereditary MVD or other life threatening genetic condition as stated above, and all the terms and conditions of this contract have been met, then one of the two options listed below may be chosen.
1. Buyer may keep the affected dog, as is, with no other implied or written warranties/guarantees, as a pet not to be bred, as long as there is quality of life. As a courtesy, we will apply 50% of purchase price towards another puppy priced at the same value as the affected puppy. Buyer will be given 2 years from the date of diagnosis to apply this credit offered by Seller. Buyer will be responsible for additional shipping expenses with replacement puppy.
2. Buyer may return the puppy according to the terms already laid out in this contract and Seller will replace said puppy with another puppy of the same sex, color, and quality either immediately or when available. Buyer will be responsible for additional shipping expenses with returning affected puppy and with replacement puppy.
