It is the buyer’s responsibility to maintain these original records and to continue a vaccination and deworming schedule and any elective treatments for fleas and heart worm per your Vets recommendations. We will not be held liable for any adverse reactions/illnesses due to buyer’s vet choosing to disregard the shots done and re-vaccinate your puppy.

3) Buyer, at their own expense, must have the puppy examined for general health and a fecal test run by a licensed veterinarian within 7 days from the date you receive the puppy (excluding Sundays and holidays). If buyer does not have the puppy examined, this contract is void. At your first vet check, should the puppy be diagnosed to have a life-threatening illness and is not treatable, you are to contact Mark Johnson immediately to make arrangements to return the puppy or have the pup taken to a vet of the seller’s
choice. A refund or replacement puppy will be given in accordance with article #6. Seller is not liable for Hypoglycemia, (low blood sugar). Undocumented health claims beyond 7 days from the date you receive the puppy will not be considered for reimbursement.

If you choose to have the puppy treated by your Vet reimbursements for medical care and/or the puppy will not exceed the purchase price of the puppy. See article #6 for refund and reimbursement requirements.

5) If the puppy is diagnosed to have a medical condition, that is not the result of an accident or cannot be remedied with a surgical procedure and would severely and permanently reduce their quality of life the following will apply; within one year from their date of birth 100% of your purchase price will be refunded, within two years from their date of birth 50% of your purchase price will be refunded. If the puppy perishes or needs to be euthanized before its second birthday due to a potential quality of life condition, a necropsy must be performed by a vet of your choice within 12 hours after death. If the results of the necropsy reveal a conclusive genetic disorder as the cause of death, you will receive a full refund in accordance with article #6 plus up to $200 to cover the cost of the necropsy. Seller is not liable for any breed specific issue, i.e.: Cherry eyes, Stenotic Nares or Cryptorchid. Luxating Patellas and Hernias are only covered if the condition is pre-existing at the time of purchase and has not already been given a credit.

The nature of the necropsy may warrant the use of Ohio State or another State College for a complete necropsy or tissue samples. This type of validation is
required as a general opinion or statement from any Vet without documentation will not be accepted as a diagnosis.

6) FOR CONSIDERATION OF ANY RETURN, REFUND OR REIMBURSEMENT: Copies of all medical documentation, files along with any other documentation deemed necessary by the seller are required before any refund will be granted.
