English Springer Spaniel Puppies - Our Puppy Guarantee

PUPPY GUARANTEE

Updated January 2006

We offer a 100% replacement guarantee on all our puppies to the original owner(s). This guarantee is non-transferable.

General health is guaranteed for 30 days if your vet examines the puppy within 7 days of delivery and puppy vaccinations and deworming is continued as recommended by your vet. Our breeding dogs are certified free of congenital defects including hip and retinal dysplasia, PFK, and are brucellosis free. Your puppy is guaranteed free of congenital defects up to 30 months of age. If any of these disorders occur, we will replace it with a new puppy from a future litter. Airfare or transportation costs, registration fees, and other associated costs are the responsibility of the new owner. We do require that your defective puppy be spayed, neutered, or euthanized and that we receive veterinary certification verifying this before a replacement is provided.

Temperament and desire to hunt are covered for the first year. Please contact us immediately if you begin to notice either of these problems in your puppy. Any puppy exhibiting behavioral problems or a lack of hunting desire must be returned to us for evaluation at the owner’s expense. No replacement will be made if we determine the issues to be man caused.

We require a $400.00 deposit to reserve your pick of the puppies based on the order in which your deposit arrives. We reserve the right of first pick of either sex from any of our litters.

All puppies are sold with full AKC registration. Your new puppy will have its tail docked to field length and all dewclaws will be removed. Deworming, first vaccinations, and a health record are provided. American Kennel Club Registration papers and a four-generation pedigree are supplied to you at no charge but please allow up to three months for your papers to arrive.

We prefer for new owners to pick up their puppies in person when they are seven weeks old. If you prefer to receive your puppy by air, we recommend that you check with your local airport for flight times and arrangements. Most airlines have temperature minimums and maximums for live animal (air freight) shipments but may allow you to carry your new puppy with you in the cabin in a special puppy carrier.
