It's important to stress to each
potential customer that puppies are living, breathing things. As
such, they will experience sicknesses from time to time, regardless of
how carefully they are bred and well they are cared for. Our
puppies are covered by the terms specified in the warranty
below, However, it's always advisable to enroll your puppy in a
comprehensive health insurance policy. There are several
good providers available. We don't endorse any particular pet
insurance underwriter. We recommend that you independently
investigate them to see which one best fits your needs.
OUR WARRANTY
We, the seller, agree to warranty
this puppy for 90 days from the date of reservation
from any illness that is genetically related. We, the sellers, will
replace the defective puppy with a puppy of comparable quality,
as determined by the seller, within sixty days of the safe return of
the defective puppy. Full medical documentation must precede the
return of the defective animal. The documentation must explicitly and
singularly identify that the cause of the puppy's defect is
genetically related. The results of this documentation are to be
evaluated by a veterinarian of the seller's choosing to confirm and
authenticate the results provided by the buyer's veterinarian. The
findings and opinions of the seller's veterinarian are to be
considered final and ultimate opinion. All transportation expenses
involved in the return of the original puppy as well as the
replacement puppy are the responsibility of the buyer. We, the seller,
do not agree to compensate the buyer for any veterinarian expenses
other than those detailed below related to the parvo virus.
We, the sellers, offer the buyer the opportunity to have the puppy
inspected by a veterinarian of the buyer's choice within 72 hours of
the arrival of the puppy. If a condition, genetic or otherwise, is
found, that is a major detriment to the puppy's long term health, the
buyer may return the puppy for a puppy of comparable quality, as
determined by the seller. The buyer must make the seller aware of this
discovery within 48 hours of the time that the buyer recieves the
puppy. The replacement puppy will be delivered to the proximity of the
buyer within 60 days of the safe return of the original puppy. All
transportation expenses related to the original puppy as well as the
replacement puppy are the responsibility of the buyer. The seller does
not extend this policy related to common or insignificant or short
term conditions. These include, but are not limited to, the presence
of common parasites (round-worms, coccidia, giardia, hookworms,
tapeworms, etc.), fleas, small scratches, scrapes or bites from other
puppies or coughs that are deemed to be short -term and easily treated
not considered a major detriment to the puppy's long term health. The
opinion of the seller's vet, during the initial examination is to be
considered final regarding non-genetic illnesses and cannot jeopardize
the seller if the puppy is mis-diagnosed by the buyer's veterinarian
regarding diagnosis or prognosis of the condition. All veterinarian
expenses resulting from this inspection are the responsibility of the
buyer not the seller.
The buyer has five days upon the discovery of the above mentioned
major and long-term health detriment to return the puppy to the
proximity of the seller (BHM Birmingham International Airport).
Failure to return the puppy to seller within five days is construed to
reflect that the buyer is satisfied with the puppy's health and
absolves the seller from responsibilty from that day forward for
non-genetic illnesses or problems.
Our warranty does not cover hips. There are a few reasons that we
exclude hips from our coverage.
1) Because of the angularity and frame structure of Bulldogs, a person
could make the case that every bulldog (in theory) is displastic to a
degree. Much of what could be clinically classified as displasia via
X-ray, has no negative impact on the dog in terms of discomfort or
physical limitations and is a result of breed characteristics that are
specified in breed standards.
2) There are factors other than genetics that contribute to Displasia.
Including, but not limited to, the slope that a dogs lives on, the
floor surface, the activities the dog participates in.
Our 90 day genetic warranty also will include an event of sudden death
of a puppy that we sell, due to genetically related circumstances, we
agree to replace the puppy with a puppy of comparable quality, as
determined by the seller, within sixty days of the death of the puppy
when they seller receives a certificate of death issued from a
licensed veterinarian. The certificate of death must say explicitly
that the cause of death was related to an identified genetic
condition. The results of this certificate are to be evaluated by a
veterinarian of the seller's choosing to confirm and authenticate the
results. All post-mortum procedures performed on the deceased puppy
are the responsibility of the buyer. All transportation expenses
related to the replacement puppy are the responsibility of the buyer.
We, the sellers do not agree to extend this policy to puppies that die
in a non-sudden manner. (i.e. from a condition that the buyer had
become aware of previously but has elected not to return the puppy to
breeder for a comparable replacement or to seek veterinary
intervention when possible either).
We represent our puppies as being suitable as pets only. We make no
claim that they are suited as breeding or show animals and we offer no
compensation for circumstances or characteristics that limit the dogs
ability to be bred or competitively shown.
Breeding quality can only be determined at maturity and suggested
under the advisement of a licensed veterinarian.
The deposit amount of $500 is non-refundable if the buyer defaults on
the purchase of the puppy. However, it will be returned if the seller
defaults on the sale of this puppy.
The balance of the purchase price is to be received by the seller
within seven days after the reservation for the puppy was placed or
the seller may offer this puppy to other interested parties and retain
the deposit amount.
We offer a cash compensation, not replacement puppy, only in the
instance of a puppy we sell that acquires the Parvo virus.
Any litigation resulting from the sale of
any puppy / puppies will be heard in the Alabama court systems.
Parvo is a canine virus that is commonly thought by many veterinarians
to have an incubation period of 3-7 days. If the puppy breaks with
Parvo within the first three days after you receive it, then it
probably did not contract the virus at your location and we, the
seller, will compensate up to $350 in documented medical expenses
related to Parvo if it is reported to us within 72 hours after the
puppy is received. If the puppy breaks with Parvo between three days
and seven days after it leaves our premises, then it is less clear
whether the puppy contracted the virus at your location or otherwise.
We will compensate $175 for documented medical expenses related to
Parvo that are reported to us three to seven days after the puppy is
received. We will not make any compensation for parvo that is reported
to us seven or more days after the puppy has been received.
