Paradise Valley Schnauzers 5 Year Genetic/Health Guarantee

​(This is an online version of our contract, the original contract with carbon copy will come in your    puppy's Deluxe Puppy Care Package for you and your vet to sign and return to us)

Shipping and ear cropping are not a part of this guarantee and will not be refunded. Please read the following agreement. If you have any questions, please ask for clarification. To the best of my knowledge, this puppy is in good health at the time of delivery. I have our vet give each puppy at least two thorough checkups before it leaves for it's new home. Buyer has four working days to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian. Failing to do so will void your health guarantee. If the veterinarian discovers the puppy to be unsound, it can be returned within the four day period for a refund of the purchase price or replaced with a puppy of equal or greater value at the breeder’s discretion and within a reasonable amount of time depending on whether there is a replacement puppy available, this will be resolved within one years time or less. This is provided the puppy is returned with a letter from the examining veterinarian stating in what respect the puppy is unsound. Absolutely no refunds after the four day warranty period. Breeder will not replace or refund for any reason but not limited to allergy, mortality, landlord’s disapproval, family disagreement or any other problems not related to health. Nor for a puppy’s illness caused by neglect, exposure to weather, injury, choking, poisoning, etc. No warranty or guarantee is made to the disposition, life-span, size, color, show quality, or breeding quality of any puppy. Breeder will not be liable for any expenses including but not limited to any veterinary bills or other expenses. Should a licensed veterinarian diagnose the puppy with a life threatening genetic defect, having been there from birth, the breeder will replace the puppy or refund your purchase price within a reasonable amount of time depending on whether there is a replacement puppy available, this will be resolved within one years time or less, limited to 5 years from the date of purchase. No refund or replacement will be made on a deceased puppy until an necropsy is performed to determine cause of death. Such a necropsy must be performed by an accredited institution set up for such procedures. Necropsy's performed by a local veterinarian will not be accepted. Necropsy expenses will be paid by Paradise Valley if the puppy has a genetic defect that caused the death or by the puppy owner if it is not a genetic defect. The necropsy will accompany any request for replacement or refund. Retained testicles, hernias, off bites and Luxating Patellas (bad knees) are excluded from this guarantee as these are not always hereditary. The buyer must contact the breeder immediately upon discovery of a genetic defect. Any delay in doing so, voids this guarantee. The breeder at this time has the right to have the puppy examined by her veterinarian. This guarantee is null and void upon any evidence of abuse or neglect, or if the buyer fails to complete vaccinations, worming and puppy checks with a qualified veterinarian. Proof of said maintenance must be furnished upon request of breeder. No guarantee is given for any kind of worm, coccidiosis, or giardia. These parasites are all too common to pups and can be contracted from your soil or boarding facility. Your puppy has been wormed frequently from two weeks of age until your possession. It is your responsibility to continue to worm your puppy and check for parasites. Your pup should be wormed every two weeks until it is placed on a monthly heartworm preventative (Required). Internal flea preventatives are not acceptable and will void your guarantee. Frontline, K9 Advantix or Advantage are recommended for flea prevention. No guarantee is given for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This condition is not hereditary and is very preventable. If you have not been supplied with information on this condition, please ask for it, each puppy will come with an article to help you understand this condition. Vaccinations must be no less than three weeks apart and no more than four weeks apart for a series of four. This guarantee does not cover kennel cough, it is your responsibility to vaccinate your puppy/dog as recommended by your vet. Rabies vaccines cannot be administered before 13 weeks of age. If you allow your veterinarian to do any of these vaccinations too early, your guarantee is void. Any claims made will require proof of such registration. AKC papers, health record, vet records and any other registry papers must accompany any claims on this guarantee. Any dog that has sired or whelped one or more pups is no longer covered under this guarantee. Paradise Valleys goal is to produce healthy, quality pets only. 

Both parties agree that any legal disputes of this contract must be held in Cache County Utah.

If your signed contract is not returned to us within 1 week of possession of your puppy, this guarantee is VOID, not exceptions!
​
This guarantee is non-tranferable.

I, AS THE BUYER, OR HIS/HER REPRESENTATIVE, OF THIS PUPPY, HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE GUARANTEE. Acceptance of puppy or puppies is acceptance of this agreement.
