Iron Range Shih Tzu and Poodles Warranty
Health Guarantee:
To the best of the seller's knowledge and belief, this puppy is in good sound health, free from symptoms of contagious and infectious diseases at the time of sale. If the buyer believes this puppy to be sick, the animal should be immediately taken to a veterinarian of the buyer's choice. A one year after sale Replacement Warranty is given for any major organ failure caused by a genetic or congenital disease.
​
This warranty also covers genetic or congenital bone disease (such as hips and knees). Luxating patellas must be a grade 3 or above and must be diagnosed with x-rays by an orthopedic Veterinarian. A notarized Veterinarian report with findings stating, to a medical certainty that the condition was in fact caused from the prenatal or hereditary state will be required, not from letting said puppy jumping or other excessive issues. If the puppy expires from the condition a full autopsy will be required and results must be sent to sellers Veterinarian. Buyers will be required to send the notarized Vet's Report by registered mail along with all of the puppy's medical records. Sellers Veterinarian must confirm and agree with the diagnosis. The Seller will then give buyer a replacement puppy (of seller's choice) of equal value or lesser value from an upcoming litter.
​
Replacement Warranty will be terminated if puppy was found to be abused, neglected, or does not have up to date records of vaccinations, heart worm prevention and fecal records. As of the date of delivery, the puppy has received proper vaccinations and de-worming. Buyer has been informed of these. This warranty is void if puppy is not spayed or neutered before or at six months of age.
​
This warranty does not cover diseases for which vaccinations could prevent. Puppy needs to be seen by a veterinarian within 72 hours of receipt for warranty to be valid. Documentation will need to be provided. This guarantee does not include coccidia, giardia and kennel cough which is usually caused by bacteria and is common in puppies that are shipped. Kennel cough is self-limiting and like the common cold must run its course. Full recovery is expected and on its own kennel cough is not life-threatening. This guarantee does not cover what in the Shih-Tzu breed is considered normal: cherry eye, stenotic nares, under bite, inguinal and umbilical hernias etc.
​
Important:
Vaccinations: Ask your veterinarian if Lepto is used in the vaccines.
This causes reactions in small breeds and if it is used, the warranty will not be honored.
​
The size a puppy will grow to, as an adult, is only an estimate based on seller's experience and traits recognition. No guarantees are made as to adult size. The seller does not guarantee the color of said dog. Because the breed is normally double-coated, their color may become lighter or darker as they age and grow, and will almost always be lighter if the dog is shaved down, as the undercoat is lighter.
All puppies are homed pet only unless limited AKC. Limited AKC papers will be given after breeder receives papers from your vet confirming he/she was neutered/spayed within 6 months of age. Letter must include Vet's name, address and phone number, as well as, signed by the vet. AKC Limited papers are void if he/she was bred or if he/she is neutered/spayed after his/her first birthday.
If breeder has given full AKC rights, then buyer agrees NOT to breed said puppy until she has reached the minimum age of 20 months. AKC papers and health guarantee are non-transferable. At no time, do I want my pups ever surrendered to a shelter or rescue. I will gladly accept the return of one of my pups, at any age, at no cost to me.
Deposits are non-refundable, however if you change your mind after deposit has been made, I will honor your deposit towards a future pup for one year from original deposit date. You are not guaranteed a future pup for the same price of current agreement. Final amount of pup is due upon transfer of ownership, estimating the age to be around 8-10 weeks.
