Our Health Guarantee

Our dogs health is guaranteed from the date of birth against all serious life altering genetic disease or Hip Dysplasia.  We only breed dogs with clear or 1 side carrier of a DNA disease to never create an effected puppy. Hip Dysplasia, we only breed good or excellent hips together never any lower grade. But this doesn't always mean your dog's hips will be perfect, just reduces the probability. The Breeder reserves the right to have a second opinion by a licensed veterinarian of Breeder’s choice, at Breeder’s expense.

 

The Purchaser must submit both X-Ray and accompanying report of OFA, BVA or Penn Hip of Hip Dysplasia. The dog must be showing physical symptoms on a regular basis and shall not have been overweight at any time during the guarantee period, or walking up and downstairs the first 10 months. A mini or micro mini Australian Labradoodle is not built to be your jogging or running partner. Once developed they are great hikers, walkers and up for all kinds of adventures but this isn't a running partner especially the 18 months of bone and joint development.

 

Purchaser must be able to provide Breeder with up to date veterinary and treatment records. Breeder reserves the right to review all medical/treatment records with a licensed veterinarian of Breeder’s choice, at Breeder’s expense.

 

In the event that the dog is affected by a serious life altering genetic disease including Hip Dysplasia, Breeder will either replace the dog, or refund the Purchaser up to $3,000 for medical treatment (Breeder’s choice). IVDD & CDDY are excluded from this since almost all cocker spaniels carry at least 1 copy )shorter legged breed) and 85% of toys poodles carry a copy it is close to impossible to have an entire breeding program without it. Keep your dogs weight off and muscle mass up is the best prevention and not having dogs jumping off high furniture.

 

Should dog have been subject to any of the following during the guarantee period, the guarantee becomes null and void. 

 

• Failure to maintain puppy’s general health care (this includes obesity)

• The administration of a Rabies vaccination, Lyme vaccination, or Lepto vaccination in conjunction with DHPP/DAPP vaccinations. This is to prevent serious adverse reactions that can result from multiple vaccinations being administered at the same time. When a dog is given a Rabies, Lyme, or Lepto vaccination it is as a stand -alone vaccine, it will allow you to know exactly which vaccination the dog is having an adverse side effect/reaction to. Severe damage can be done which can result in a suppressed immune system by overloading a dog with vaccinations.

• Failure to deworm puppy on schedule

• Neglect, trauma, dropped, or abuse

• Excessive stair climbing or vigorous excessive exercise until (at minimum) 1 year of age, 18 months if doing agility. This is to ensure you have given your pup time for bones and joints to develop until growth plates have closed.

• Feeding the puppy a poor quality diet. Dog must be on Breeder's required quality dog food and Nuvet supplements and Nuvet Joint.



Under no circumstances shall the Breeder be liable for any consequential, incidental, or special damages resulting from negligence and environmental factors.

 

This warranty does not cover skin/food/environmental allergies. We have no control of the area your pup may be in, food you choose to feed your pup outside what we recommend multiple times through the purchasing process, or the environmental factors that may trigger allergies. Allergies in dogs (like people) can develop at any time especially after vaccinations.

 

This warranty does not cover cosmetic teeth/bite issues such as an under-bite or baseline narrow canines. These are recessive genes that are common to our breed and cannot be tested for prior to breeding. We do try to prevent this by not keeping breeding dogs from litters that have a majority of the puppies presenting this. I never keep a puppy for breeding if more than 2 or 3 puppies in the litter present with baseline narrow. A puppy that does have it will not be kept for our breeding program to minimize our bloodlines contributing to this breed tendency. We have been doing this for multiple generations and seeing less of it year after year.

 

This warranty applies only to the original buyer. If ownership of the dog is transferred, warranty becomes null and void. Because dogs are not to be rehomed without the consent of the Breeder at any age. We do not want any of our dogs ever going to a rescue or shelter, but rather returned to us for evaluation and proper rehoming.

 

Breeder agrees to accept return of dog at any time during the life of the dog for any reason. Purchaser agrees never to relinquish dog to a shelter and to contact Breeder immediately in the event that the dog needs to be rehomed. 

 

Our return/rehome policy is as follows...

 

• In the event that the Purchaser needs to immediately rehome dog, Purchaser agrees to ship puppy to Breeder at Purchaser’s expense.

• In the event that rehoming the dog is not an emergency situation, Purchaser agrees to keep the dog until the Breeder can find a new home for the dog. This is a much better situation for the dog, so that it only needs to make one transition.

• Upon rehoming the dog, Breeder agrees to refund any proceeds (minus any expenses that are incurred by Breeder for the dog during the re-home process ie: training, boarding, vet care, grooming etc..) from the re-home to the original Purchaser. 

 

 

Three Day General Health Guarantee

At the time of delivery, the Breeder guarantees your new puppy is in good health, and has received age appropriate vaccinations as well as worming care by a licensed veterinarian. Purchaser will be provided with all veterinary records of puppy while puppy was in the care of Breeder including proof of clear fecal exam of no parasites.

 

From the time of arrival of puppy, Purchaser must take the puppy into a licensed veterinarian for an initial health exam within 72 hours. Since Covid this has been more difficult to get these appointment we suggest making your appointment as soon as you are aware which litter you are set for and make your appointment after we inform you your puppy was born, this gives your vet an 8 week heads up for scheduling. 

 

If within 72 hours the Purchaser’s veterinarian discovers a chronic or serious health problem with puppy, immediate proof of medical exam and diagnosis by the veterinarian is required. Breeder reserves the right to have a second opinion by a veterinarian of Breeder’s choice, at Breeder’s expense.

 

If puppy is found to have poor health (documented by 2 licensed veterinarians) within 72 hours, Breeder may either replace puppy from the next available similar litter (with shipping at Purchaser’s expense), or refund the purchase price of said puppy (Breeder’s discretion). Puppy must be returned (at Purchaser’s expense) immediately. If Purchaser chooses to keep puppy diagnosed with poor health within 72 hours, Breeder will reimburse for veterinary costs related to pre existing condition up to the purchase price of puppy. Veterinary costs will be paid directly to Purchaser’s licensed Veterinarian.

 

It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to provide due care, and not expose unprotected puppy whose vaccines have not yet taken effect to contagious situations. This health guarantee becomes null and void if Purchaser has not taken the puppy into a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving puppy. Puppy has been given 1st DAPP shot upon pickup. Do not let your puppy on the ground anywhere other than your backyard until 16 weeks when all puppy shots have been completed. Sadly we have had families not follow this and have lost their puppy to Parvo and one to distemper. It is imperative to keep your puppy away from public dog areas, pet stores, public dog water bowls, no  shoes in the house, and contact with other peoples pet puppies until all rounds of DAPP are completed.

​

Our hip Dysplasia guarantee is for the first 2 years of life. Terms of our hip dysplasia guarantee includes your dog maintained optimal weight (dog obesity will wreck good hips) no stairs the first 4 months, must be on Nuvet Plus and Nuvet Joint supplement, contractual food for proper joint development and not running your dog the first 18 months. Walks are great, we suggest no more than 5 minuted per month of age the first year!
