Health Guarantee

The puppy is guaranteed to be in good health, to the best of the seller’s knowledge. Buyer has 72 hours, from the date of ownership in which to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian. Failure to have puppy checked by a licenses veterinarian within 72 hours will void health guarantee. Buyer must e-mail or send a copy of the vet visit record to me.


After 72 hours, of the health guarantee period, the seller cannot be held accountable for future diagnosis of bacterial or viral infectious diseases, giardia, parasites, fungi, etc. since these can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving and are not a result of genetic or breeding. If there is a problem that cannot be rectified, the buyer may return the puppy to seller, at buyer’s expense, no later than the day following the vet exam, along with a veterinarian’s statement stating the problem. Upon the puppies return, it will be replaced with another puppy of the same breed. (Exclusion: This does not include the presence of parasites and does not apply to a health problem resulting from an injury or accident due to buyer’s negligence), the following provisions will be honored. All medical expenses are the sole responsibility of the buyer.


All puppies are vaccinated and treated for worms before they leave. However, buyer need to be aware that these things can arise and that they are usually not serious (even though seeing blood in the stool appears serious) and are easily treated and seller will not cover the treatment for them after the puppy leaves our possession. Viral and bacterial diseases and bloody stools (form of worms) are not covered in the health guarantee as they are natural things puppies can pick up from anywhere. Umbilical Hernias also referred to as “outie” belly buttons are also not covered in the heath guarantee. Puppies are naturally at risk for viral and bacterial diseases and worms which are often brought on by the stress of a new home, new food, new people, or just a change in environment.


The puppy is guaranteed against congenital life-threatening defects up until it is 1 years old. If there are any congenital life-threatening defects, they should become present well within that time period. Should anything arise within this time due to a congenital life-threatening defect, the puppy will be replaced by one of the same qualities and value when the next litter becomes available.


There will be no cash refunds. The replacement will only be given if a necropsy has been performed and a certificate from a licensed vet is provided as proof of death. The cost of necropsy will be responsibility of buyer. The buyer must contact the breeder immediately upon discovery of a life-threatening genetic defect. Any delay in doing so, voids this guarantee. This guarantee does not include expenses associated with the vet check, exams, vaccinations, worming medication, transportation, carrier, and other fees. The health guarantees mentioned in this agreement do not cover accidental death, neglect, abuse, or injuries that the puppy sustains in the care of the buyer. Any health-related issues or loss of life due to reactions caused by vaccinations or flea and tick preparations administered either orally or on the skin are not covered under this guarantee.


No warranty or guarantee is made to the disposition, life-span, size, color, show quality or breeding quality of any puppy. Retained testicles and hernias are excluded from this guarantee. In the case of sudden death of the puppy, seller must receive a written notice of puppy’s death from buyer’s vet, along with a necropsy report indicating cause of death. Seller also reserves the right to require a DNA sample and microchip scan from the puppy.


NO RESALE OR TRANSFER CLAUSE:

No refunds will be issued for personal reasons, allergies, or buyer remorse. If the buyer annot keep the puppy, the puppy must be returned to the breeder with no resale or rehoming. Buyer must not surrender the dog to a shelter, rescue, or third party without sellers permission.


Buyer agrees no breeding is permitted under any circumstances, unless seller has agreed and been notified.

VET CARE: Buyer Must agree to keep puppy under the care of a Licensed Veterinarian throughout the dog’s lifespan. The Buyer agrees to feed this puppy a high-quality dog food appropriate for the breed of dog. If the Buyer allows the puppy to become overweight this health guarantee / contract is void. The Shih Tzus that become overweight or not on a good diet can develop joint problems, metabolic and digestive disorder, back pain and heart disease. Make sure your Shih Tzus weight stays at a healthy weight at all times. Buyer agrees to keep up with age-appropriate, veterinarian recommended vaccinations and deworming regimens. Picking Up Your puppy: Your puppy needs to be picked up between 8-9 weeks of age. If your puppy is not picked up by the 8th week and no prior arrangements have been made with the seller, seller has the right to void this agreement and find another buyer. Deposit is nonrefundable in this case as well.


SHIPPING OF PUPPY: Puppies are shipped at no earlier than 8 weeks of age and will be guaranteed for up to 72 hours from shipping date. Along with the price of the puppy, Buyer is responsible for shipping fees. Fees are determined on weight of puppy and where it is being shipped to. Seller is not responsible for the death or injury of puppy due to negligence of airline, live animal carrier, or any agent or employee of the airline or animal carrier. All shipping costs related to any dog being purchased, as well as in relationship to any dog being replaced for any reason, are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Seller is in no way responsible for any expenses associated with the puppy after the puppy leaves the possession of the seller.


FIRST RIGHTS OF RECOVERY: If buyer is unable to care for or chooses to change his/her mind about caring for the puppy purchased, seller retains the first right of recovery of the puppy at the buyer’s expense. The buyer must notify seller to the change in circumstances and give the seller first right to the puppy before any other action is taken. This includes and is not limited to selling the puppy to another buyer. Buyer agrees that if this puppy is offered for sale or trade at any time in the future, it will first be offered back to seller.
