The breeder certifies that this puppy has been thoroughly examined by a licensed veterinarian and is in good health.  The results of the exam will be given to the purchaser, also indicating what vaccines and dewormings were administered to the puppy.  The puppy therefore will have received proper vaccinations and dewormings for his age.  All further vaccinations, follow-ups, and dewormings will become the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

The breeder guarantees the puppy against the following infections for a period on NO MORE than 10 days.  PARVOVIRUS, DISTEMPER, RABIES.  No other infectios diseases or viruses are covered under this guarantee and the purchaser accepts this by signing this guarantee agreement.  The Guarantee does not cover Parasites internal or external, coccidiosiss, Guardia, hypoglycemia, hepatitis.  We do not refund or replace for hernia's of any type, they can and do appear as a dog grows.

The breeder cannot take any other responsibility for the puppy once it is no longer under the breeder's care and therefore cannot control which animals the puppy may come into cantact with and from which the uppy may then be infected.  We do not cover hydrocephalus in any dog over the age of 6 months.  Therefore, it is recommended that the purchaser not allow the puppy to come into direct contact with any other animals for a period of at least 15 days and to have his veterinarian check the puppy thoroughly to attest to his good health.

Some parasites can develop within a few hours or days, such as Coccidiosis, which is a parasite related to stress and has nothing to do with bad or good breeding.  Therefore, all puppies going to new homes shoud have a stool sample analyzed by the purchaser's veterinarian to make sure the puppy has not developed any such problem.  If such a problem should occur, the purchaser takes full responsibility to care for the puppy and will not hold the breeder accountable in any way.  The breeder has administered only the basic deworming product recommended by the breeder's veterinarian and cannot be held accountable for a problem arising after the puppy is delivered to the purchaser.

The breeder recommends to the purchaser to seek the services of a veterinarian that is knowledgeable about this tiny breed in order to avoid serious problems.  The breeder WILL NOT BE HELD accountable for adverse reactions that may occur because of vaccinations administered by the purchaser's veterinarian.  The breeder gives the purchaser a period of no more than 3 working days after taking possession of the puppy to have the puppy thoroughly checked by his own veterinarian.  If any abnormality should be found by the purchaser's veterinarian, that could seriously endanger the life and health of the puppy, the purchaser must advise the breeder IMMEDIATELY of the problem.  If the purchaser does not advise the breeder of such problem IMMEDIATELY, then the purchaser will have no recourse against the breeder and the purchaser accepts this.

The purchaser however, if returning a puppy that has been diagnosed with a serious health problem, must take full responsibility in bringing the puppy back to the breeder.  The breeder would then consider an exchange for the puppy (NO REFUNDS) when a puppy similar to the purchaser's puppy becomes available.  Under all other circumstances it is understood that no exchange will take place.  The breeder may take from 12 to 24 months in order to have another puppy available to the purchaser, and the purchaser accepts this condition.  This guarantee DOES NOT cover the following minor flaws or any condition that is minor and can be corrected by veterinarian intervention.

*Open Fontanel:  often seen in this breed and not life-threatening to the puppy.

*Uneven Bite:  this is not a health problem.

*Ears not Standing

*Coat Color:  Coat color can change as the puppy matures

*Size:  We give NO guarantee concerning the size a puppy will mature at.

*Hernias:  Of any category

Any other infections, except those stated in the guarantee agreement, WILL NOT BE the responsibility of the breeder and the purchaser agrees to this.  If at any time after delivery of the puppy to the purchaser, the puppy requires hospitalization due to HYPOGLYCEMIA (low blood sugar) symptoms, the breeder WILL NOT BE held accountable.  The purchaser has been well advised of the special care that is required when purchasing a very tiny puppy, in order to avoid such conditions and the breeder DOES NOT GUARANTEE that this condition will never arise.  The breeder has also advised the purchaser on what symptoms to look for if such a condition should arise and they are as follows:

POSSIBLE SIGNS OF LOW BLOOD SUGAR (HYPOGLYCEMIA)

First Stage:  (Supervise the puppy, make sure he eats before bed.)

     *Puppy is not playful

     *Loss of appetite

Second Stage: (Critical, Seek veterinary help)

     *Body becomes limp

     *Puppy does not lift his head easily

Third Stage:  (VERY CRITICAL, seek veterinary care IMMEDIATELY)

     *Body completely limp, usually the head tilts backward and is stiffer

     *Slower heartbeat

     *Body temperature drops

     *Mouth is stiff and gums become white

If any of these symptoms occur, the purchaser must advise his veterinarian as time is of the essence.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to assure proper care if such condition should arise and the purchaser agrees NOT TO HOLD THE BREEDER ACCOUNTABLE AT ANY TIME should hypoglycemia stmptoms occur and the purchaser requires the services of a veterinarian to care for the sick puppy.

This guarantee does not cover injuries caused by a fall or because the puppy was physically harmed in any way.  In the light of this, it is recommeded to never leave the puppy without proper care or supervision or left alone on a couch, a table, or a bed, and the breeder recommends taking extra care when closing doors, expecially patio doors with such a tiny breed.

This guarantee does not cover allergies that the urchaser or his family members may develop to the dog or cerebral injuries due to any circumstance.

If a male is purchased at PET ONLY, WITHOUT BREEDING RIGHTS, the breeder does not guarantee the presence of both testicles.  If only 1 testicle or no testicles are descended or present, the breeder will not be held accountable and the purchaser accepts this by signing this guarantee agreement understanding that no exchange or refund will be considered.  In the event that the puppy develops patella luxation, too short or too long ligaments in the paw, feet or leg area, the breeder will no be held accountable and the purchaser takes full responsibility if such a case should arise to have the puppy treated at his own expense.  Unless it is stated in writing by 2 veterinarians that the luxation was not caused by an injury or roughness, and that in their opinion it was genetic, then it is limited to puppy replacement.

WE DO NOT guarantee a dog for show unliss it is over 6 month old and we have shown it at an AKC sanctioned event ourselves.  Puppies that are show quality at the time of purchase can and do fall apart conformation wise.  They have the bloodlines behind them to be show dogs, but not all turn out conformation wise or have the personality for it.

If a dispute concerning this sale should arise, all legal matters must be filed and take place in the county of Washington, State of Kansas.

When a puppy is sold at a reduced price or for pet only the buyer understands that by reducing the price you (the buyer) have waived your right to registration and also the right to the 1 year health guarantee.  These are only included with a full price puppy.  For pet only at reduced price, the pup is "AS IS".  If it has any defects are known they will be called and in writing at the time of sale.  It is understood that if the buyer wants full registration and full guarantee's, then full price with no reduction shall be paid.  Pet only dogs are not to be bred or used for breeding.  At no time are registration papers to be issued to pet only buyers without the breeder receiving full purchase price compensation and written permission from the breeder.

Buyer understands that once a deposit is received to hold a puppy, it is the same as signing this contract in person...At no time will a doposit be refunded for change of buyers mind.  A deposit is only refundable if puppy should die while in the breeders care or a health issue should arise making the puppy unsuitable for sale.  Once the deposit is received it locks the puppy is as sold for the buyer and takes the puppy off the sellers market.  Should a buyer have a change of mind the seller may have lost a future sale of said puppy.  Please make sure you are ready for a puppy as change of mind is not a refundable option.
