Seller agrees to warrant the following:

1. That the health of the above animal is excellent to the best of the Seller's knowledge at the time of sale. However, the Seller encourages the Buyer to have a D.V.M examine the animal within 72 hours of purchase. If the D.V.M finds the animal to have a preexisting malady or be in poor health, the animal may be returned to the Seller at the expense of the Buyer for a full refund of the purchase price-this is the only condition (72-hour timeframe) in which a full refund will be made. Under no circumstances will the Seller be responsible for veterinary care expenses or any other expenses. No further health guarantee is made except as provided below.

a. The Buyer agrees to return the puppy to the Seller as soon as possible or before one week has passed following the vet’s report. A letter from the examining vet on the vet’s official letterhead documenting why the puppy is not healthy must accompany the puppy. The Seller reserves the right to have the puppy re-examined by her vet and agrees to replace the puppy with a new puppy of equal value as the price paid as soon as one becomes available or reimburse the buyer for the amount, they purchased the puppy for, if the Seller’s vet agrees with the letter of examination from the Buyer’s vet.

b. It is understood that the seller does not guarantee against the following puppyhood

ailments:

Parasites (Internal or External) – ALL puppies are born with parasites and will come dewormed at the appropriate times. It is up to the Buyer and their veterinarian to continue a proper deworming schedule.

Coccidiosis – This is bacterial protozoa and can be picked up anywhere. Stress can also cause this.

Parvo – is a highly contagious viral disease of dogs and spreads through direct contact with affected dog or by indirect contact with a contaminated object or area.

Dry Skin

Giardia – This comes from dirty or contaminated water (Rainwater, puddles, etc.) or from other animals who are carrying it.

Addison's disease – a condition in dogs that occurs when the adrenal glands don't produce enough hormones.

Hypoglycemia Hepatitis

Megaesophagus (ME)- is a condition in dogs where the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach, becomes enlarged and loses its ability to properly move food down.

Sarcoptic Mange – This is caused from living conditions and is not genetic.

Demodex Mange – Can be caused from stress/quality of food throughout the puppy’s growth periods. This can sometimes be considered genetic. This may be considered on the health contract with a veterinarian statement and a 2ndopinion from a vet of my choice.

Puppy Acne (Also known as muzzle folliculitis) Inflammatory disorder of the lips and skin normally around the muzzle.

Sebaceous cyst- Clogged oil glands that look like a pimple.

Allergies

Fleas/Ticks – You will need to have a monthly prevention in place for this.

Ear Mites – These are in the environment – clean your puppy’s ears on a normal basis.

Heartworms – You need to have a monthly/bi-monthly prevention in place for this.

Cherry eyes – European Danes have naturally droopy, loose eyelids; if trauma is caused to the eye or the 3rd eyelid is not strong enough, a red ball can protrude. This can easily be surgically removed.

Knuckling – This is caused from nutrition issues and sometimes fast growth periods and is easily fixed. If you have trouble with knuckling, contact me and I can walk you through ways to remedy it.

Eye or Ear Infections

Stress

Diarrhea

Flat footed – This is caused by nutrition problems and walking surfaces.

Infertility – I cannot guarantee your dog will be fertile.

Hip Dysplasia – This can be caused from nutrition problems, too much early activity and walking surfaces.

Bloat

Temperament – Our breeding dogs have a sound mind and temperament, but it is ultimately up to the new owner to raise their new puppy in the right way. Socialize, Socialize, Socialize! Ectropion (droopy or loose eyelids) – This is a characteristic of the European line that has been years in the making and not something that I’m able to correct in my breeding. American Danes are becoming more and more droopy as well. Entropion - A condition in which the eyelid rolled

inward against the eyeball Visual, physical, and/or cosmetic features

Viral or Bacterial Infections – including Urinary Tract Infections

Uneven bites

Undescended testicles

*If you choose to take your puppy out in public (dog parks, pet stores, etc.) please use caution and watch the puppy for any signs of sickness. Your puppy has only had his/her 1stround (and in some cases 2ndround) of puppy shots and is not guaranteed to have immunity. He/she could pick things up anywhere and a virus like Parvo could be deadly if not caught and treated right away. (* It can take up to 14 days before antigens are recognized by the immune system.)

Once the puppy leaves the Seller’s possession the Seller will not be held liable for any of the aforementioned as these conditions can occur quickly under conducive circumstances.

c. Should the Buyer refuse to return the puppy, or make arrangements for returning the

puppy, for a replacement within the one-week timeframe from the veterinarian’s report, Buyer understands they are in breach of contract and a replacement will not be given nor will a refund be given.

their care, Buyer understands a replacement will not be given nor will a refund be given.

2. The seller offers a 1-year genetic health guarantee. That the animal is not suffering from any genetic disease or defect which would prevent it from living an otherwise healthy or normal life.
