Health Agreement and Guarantee

The Seller assumes no responsibility for this dog after it leaves sellers premises due to: Purchaser’s landlord’s disapproval, allergies to the dog, or because of a family disagreement or other change of heart

This puppy is guaranteed healthy at the time of sale, with the exceptions of internal parasites or fleas.

***Buyer has 72 hours to take the puppy to their veterinarian for a wellness exam. If Buyer fails to do so, the healthy guarantee is void. By signing this contract, the Buyer waves the health guarantee if puppy is not examined within the initial seventy-two hours.

***Buyer also understands if the puppy is not brought to a veterinarian within the first 72 hours of Buyer’s possession, than no refunds, reimbursements, or health guarantee will be honored. Buyer is responsible for making an appointment ahead of time with their veterinarian so that the 72 hour puppy wellness exam requirement can be met. This means, phone your veterinarian and set up the appointment at least two weeks prior to picking up your puppy.

Should the owner notice any abnormalities in their puppy before the initial seventy-two hours veterinary health examination, please notify us immediately.

Buyer is financially responsible for the first office visit, deworming, fecal exams, vaccines, and any other treatment once in the buyer’s care. The health and wellbeing of your puppy/dog depends on the quality of care you as the Buyer provide. It is extremely important to take your puppy to the veterinarian every three weeks for a series of three additional distemper/parvo vaccines. Rabies vaccine can be given at 12-16 weeks depending on what state you live in. Monthly Flea and Heartworm preventative is also advised. Buyer is responsible for any and all medical treatment the puppy requires at the veterinary visits.

If the buyer’s veterinarian finds a LIFE THREATENING AND INCURABLE CONGENTICAL HEALTH PROBLEM EXCLUDING COMMON PUPPY ISSUES LIKE: hypoglycemia, coccidiosis, mange, giardia, or intestinal worms, prior to the puppy reaching one year of age, the seller must be informed in writing from the buyer. A written report from the examining veterinarian, along with a diagnosis, medical records, radiographs, ultrasound reports, and any other ancillary testing must also be provided to the seller at that time. The seller’s veterinarian must also concur that the puppy’s diagnosis is a life threatening incurable congenital defect and that it EXISTED at the time of purchase. If the Seller’s veterinarian agrees with the diagnosis of an incurable congenital defect, then the purchaser will have the option of a replacement puppy.

If DEATH occurs within the first six months, a necropsy must be performed by a licensed veterinarian to determine the cause of death AT THE PURCHASER’S EXPENSE. If the cause of death is due to a congenital issue, a replacement puppy will be issued.

Common puppy problems that occur which are either treatable, curable, or non-life threatening are NOT warranted under this guarantee. If your puppy checks out healthy at the initially required veterinary visit, then that is the limit of WMK’s guarantee unless a congenital is diagnosed at a further date. In which case a replacement puppy will be provided.. Mishandling the puppy during deliver, transport, or improper care by the Buyer is the Buyer’s responsibility. Other than the preceding guarantee, the seller assumes no responsibility for the puppies once they leave WMK’s premise. Your puppy can become stressed by shipping, adjusting to a new home, different handling techniques, or changing diets and these could increase the likelihood of hypoglycemia, coccidiosis, and shedding of intestinal worms.

**** AT NO TIME will/does WMK provide monetary refunds, reimbursements, or assume responsibility for buyer’s veterinary bills. If, however, a congenital deformity is diagnosed at any time, a replacement puppy will be provided. WMK will not be responsible for any incurred veterinary expenses, surgical or medical unless prior consent between buyer and seller has been approved in writing.

Size and personality

The Seller will estimate the size, personality, and color of the puppy as accurately as possible. Because there are many factors involved in genetics and coat color, the breeder cannot one hundred-percent guarantee those traits. Seller also doesn’t warranty the genetics or breeding potential of any puppy. Nor does the seller guarantee a puppy’s temperament. All of our puppies are raised in our home and have stable personalities when they leave our facility. We provide daily socialization with humans and canines when old enough. After the Buyer is in possession of a puppy, it is their responsibility to keep the dog well socialized with people and other animals.

Vaccinations

Buyer agrees to keep the puppy healthy and stay current on all vaccines and procedures recommended by their veterinarian. Should the Buyer not follow any recommendations by their veterinarian, the healthy guarantee is void.

Puppies require a minimum series of four distemper/parvo vaccinations FROM A VETERINARIAN. The vaccine, commonly described by a veterinarian as a DHPP OR DHLPP, should be given starting at 6-8 weeks and then be given every three weeks thereafter. If the puppy starts vaccines at 6 weeks, getting the second vaccine at 8 weeks (instead of waiting 3 weeks) is highly recommended because maternal antibody may still be slightly present at six weeks, thus nullifying the 6 wk old vaccine. This puppy would then receive a total of 5 dhlpp or dhpp vaccines. The (L), “leptospirosis” is often omitted from the first initial vaccine. A rabies vaccine is usually given between 12-16 weeks old,depending on the State you live in. A minimum of three to four stool samples should be checked by your veterinarian for the presence of intestinal parasites. Heartworm and flea preventative pills should be given monthly and these must also be obtained froma a veterinarian. DON’T BE FOOLED BY KNOCKOFF VERSIONS YOU MAY PURCHASE OVER THE INTERNET.

Spay/Neuter

Based on new studies, it is now recommended that “Giant” dog breeds not be spayed or neutered until they reach two years of age. Studies have shown that removing the estrogen/testosterone sourced at an early age by surgically “altering” the animal early can change the angles of the stifle (knee), thus promoting an unwanted tear of the cranial cruciate ligament.

WMK understands it is difficult to keep a giant dog “intact” (unaltered) for two years, so we are recommending at the very least waiting until the one year mark. Giant dog breeds tend not to come into heat the first time until 8-12 months, but some dogs have become receptive as early as 5 months.

***** WMK’s health guarantee is void if a bitch or a stud dog have been bred or used for breeding, unless a special breeding contract has been made). ****

Purchaser warrants that the puppy/dog, which is the subject of this agreement is being purchased for the intended use a s a domestic pet and that the purchaser is not a breeder, exhibitor, dealer, animal testing facility, or a pet store as defined by federal law.
