REGISTRATION:
Seller certifies that this puppy was bred in accordance with the American Kennel Club registration requirements for purebred dogs. Breeder has made application to the American Kennel Club for litter registration, and individual dog registration applications will be issued to the buyer when your puppy is paid in full and picked up from the seller.
HEALTH GUARANTEE:
When said dog/puppy leaves MizzElle’s Standard Poodles (to the best of our knowledge) it is in a healthy condition. However, in the event that said dog/puppy should be diagnosed with a medical problem that can be cured, this would not qualify for a replacement puppy. The dog/puppy, if shipped, comes to you with a veterinarian’s health certificate and a record of vaccinations. Buyer may take the dog/puppy to their own veterinarian (at Buyer’s expense) for their own satisfaction and protection. You, or your veterinarian, shall report to the Seller any medical problem within the guarantee period. If the dog/puppy is found to have a medical problem, it must be reported to the Seller within twenty-four (24) hours of it’s discovery. ***Failure to make this report within this timeframe will void this warranty. If any life threatening condition or congenital defect is found by the Buyer’s vet upon initial examination that existed prior to the Buyer taking possession of said dog/puppy, Buyer agrees and elects to return puppy immediately for examination and treatment by Seller or Seller’s Veterinarian or Buyer agrees that Buyer will be responsible for all Buyer’s veterinary expenses. Seller will return dog/puppy once treatment is completed or give the Buyer a replacement dog/puppy.***
REFUNDS, REPLACEMENTS AND EXPENSES:
The Buyer agrees if puppy/dog is found to have a life threatening or debilitating congenital birth defect, then the Buyer will accept and elects to take a replacement dog/puppy in lieu of a refund or purchase price. Under all circumstances, if the puppy/dog’s health or condition is being questioned, Buyer agrees that Seller has the right to get a second opinion by a veterinarian of the Seller’s choice prior to any treatment of said dog/puppy and the right to have Seller and or Seller’s Vet treat puppy/dog’s condition unless the condition of dog/puppy warrants emergency treatment. Buyer agrees that Buyer is responsible for Buyer’s veterinarian expenses under all circumstances. There shall be replacement of the dog/puppy only under the circumstances provided below.
- If the dog/puppy is found to be in unsound health with life threatening incurable diseases or viruses by a licensed veterinarian within 3 days, the Buyer agrees and elects to return the dog/puppy to the Seller, or euthanize upon approval of the Seller unless Seller authorizes other options. THEN THE BUYER MAY REQUEST REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER DOG/PUPPY OF EQUAL VALUE. SAID REPLACEMENT WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT BECOMES AVAILABLE. A medical report signed by the examining veterinarian must be provided to the Seller prior to a replacement being made. (There shall be no replacement unless under the Health Guarantee only as stated below). The Seller will not replace any dog/puppy that has not received adequate and appropriate immediate veterinary care (at the Buyer’s expense) to any dog/puppy showing signs of illness or distress and failure to do so will render any guarantee null or void. Under no circumstance is a dog/puppy to be destroyed without discussing all options with the Seller. “Unsound health” shall be defined as any condition, which is “life threatening” or “incurable” and shall not include curable conditions such as but not limited to infections, worms, parasites, bacterial infections, skin rashes or an outie belly button (umbilical hernia). Normally, this condition is considered cosmetic. The Seller will inform Buyer if the puppy has an outie at which time the Buyer may choose a different puppy.
2. A replacement puppy will be provided only if said dog/puppy is diagnosed to have a life-threatening congenital birth defect within two years of said dog/puppy date of birth by a licensed veterinarian in writing or dies withinone year of the dog/puppy’s date of birth as a direct result of an unknown (at the time of sale) congenital birth defect, only if an appropriate autopsy is performed by a licensed veterinarian and a veterinarian’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death. Trauma, abuse or neglect will void this guarantee.
3. Seller guarantees dog/puppy against debilitating hip and elbow dysplasia for a period of 2 years from the date of birth. In other words, if said dog/puppy requires surgery or has to be euthanized as a direct result of congenital elbow and/or hip dysplasia within a period of 2 years from puppy’s birth date, the Buyer is entitled to a new puppy of equal monetary value to the original puppy at the time of purchase when suitable puppy becomes available upon proof by a licensed veterinarian or surgery or euthanized as a result of dysplasia and proof of dysplasia from OFA (Orthopedic Foundation of America) at two-years old.
NO MONETARY REFUND WILL BE GIVEN.
