2. Seller’s Representations and Warranties Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that:

• The Dog is being sold free and clear of any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance.
• The Dog is in good health at the time of this sale. Buyer has 5 days from the delivery date to

have the Dog examined by a licensed veterinarian, at Buyer’s sole cost. If the Dog fails the examination, Buyer may return the Dog, with a written statement from the veterinarian, for a full refund. Failure by Buyer to have the Dog examined within the 5 day period will nullify this warranty. If Buyer chooses to keep the puppy, no replacement will be given, and all medical costs and treatment are sole responsibility of the Buyer.

Buyer understands that the following slight genetic defects are not considered serious, or life threatening and therefore are not covered umbilical hernia, cherry eye, undescended testicle, under or overbite, grade 1 or 2 patella’s.   Our parents have been DNA tested through EMBARK meaning our puppies are less likely to develop inherited diseases, but I cannot guarantee that your puppy will never develop any health problem, just as a pediatrician cannot guarantee a child will never develop any health problems in the future. Some things are just not able to be predicated.

Seller does NOT Guarantee against low-blood sugar(Hypoglycemia), any environmental temperament problems, allergies, respiratory infections including, but not limited to, Bordetella/Tracheobronchitis, (kennel cough), loose knees or hips, Stenotic nares, elongated soft pallet, umbilical hernia, dermatitis, demodectic mange, pneumonia, ear mites, ear infections, cherry eye or any other non-life-threatening issues, open fontanel, bone or joint disorders such as but not limited to luxating patella’s and heart murmurs that are not life threatening.

While I do my best to make sure my pups are free from parasites such as ticks, fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and mites, I do not include these as they are common and can be picked up via vet, groomer, boarding kennels, and other pets. 

All of my puppies have completed their regimen of immunization to their age-appropriate vaccination schedule at time of delivery. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to set up an ongoing appropriate vaccination schedule with your vet. I assume no responsibility for any illness to other household pets resulting in being exposed to your puppy without complete vaccinations. Also, seller cannot guarantee the puppy against illness brought on by the stress of being transported over long distances, such as motion sickness or hypoglycemia (sugar drop),

• No guarantee as to adult size: weight, color, or coat length.
• Seller will NOT replace a puppy due to heat stroke, abuse/neglect, or improper socialization.
• To ensure that Buyer does not euthanize the Dog or take it to an animal shelter, Seller will take the Dog back at any time during the Dog’s lifetime. Seller will not issue a refund or provide another Dog to Buyer unless the Dog’s return was a result of any misrepresentation on the part of Seller with respect to the Dog’s health.

***Please do NOT expose your puppy to other dogs that are not vaccinated until he/she has completed the entire vaccination schedule- around 16-20 weeks old.  Healing Pawz LLC is not responsible for any contractible diseases or infections if seller does not adhere to this recommendation from the Breeder. 

4.         Fitness of Purpose

The Dog was bred as a companion animal, and Seller does not provide any warranty as to the Dog’s fitness for any specific purpose, including obedience trials, show ring performance, and/or breeding purposes. Buyer understands this dog being sold with full breeding rights. However, I represent my puppies as being suitable as pets only. I make no claim that they are suited as breeding or show animals and I offer no compensation for circumstances or characteristics that limit the dogs ability to be bred or be competitively shown, However, the breeder cannot be held liable for the authenticity of the pedigree behind this puppy.
