Health Warranty/Purchase Agreement

The Condition of Sale:
The puppy in reference in this contract has been born under the care of Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel.
Many of the puppies from Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel will develop into dogs that are suitable for one or more of the following purposes: showing, hunting or breeding. It should be understood, however, that there is no guarantee at the time of sale regarding the future showing, hunting or breeding prospects of the animal.
What is guaranteed is a good companion animal and family pet.
All puppies from Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel are sold WITH registration unless a hereditary disorder is exposed at 7 week vet check. Registration is then limited.
This contract is non-transferable.
Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel guarantees that at the time the puppy leaves our possession, that he/she is in good health to the best of our knowledge.
Puppies are seen by vet at 7 weeks and if there are any issues, we will discuss and offer a different puppy, keeping our puppy or complete 100% refund.
Report of vet visit will be sent for a signature acknowledging any foreseen issues and releasing Seller of any/all future issues puppy might have.
The buyer has FOUR (4) business days from the time of receipt of dog to have dog examined by a veterinarian.
It is strongly urged by us that all purchasers do so in order to avoid nullification of this agreement.
If at the time of the initial vet check, the puppy is determined to be seriously ill from symptoms that are undoubtedly the result of a hereditary condition (this does not include the presence of parasites), the new owner is to return the puppy along with any other accompanying information within 7 days at buyer’s expense if a replacement is desired.
At this point Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel will replace the puppy in question (no refunds given) with another puppy of similar bloodlines and/or the same color and gender should the buyer so desire, upon availability.
This guarantee will be terminated immediately if the dog is not examined within the allotted time.
A warranty against all life altering genetic disease is provided for (1) year after the date of birth.
Should a genetic disease be discovered during this time that will greatly shorten the life of, or greatly alter the quality of life of the dog, Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel will provide the buyer with a puppy of same value, chosen by the breeder, upon availability after first puppy is returned at buyer’s expense.
All of what has been said above is contingent upon the new owner(s) providing a letter of verification from the examining veterinarian.
Repairable/non-repairable hernias are NOT covered under this warranty.
Furthermore, it is noted that Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel assumes no responsibility for this dog once it has left the premises. This includes veterinary medical expense, mortality, landlord’s disapproval, allergic reaction to puppy, family disagreement, behavioral/training difficulties, mistreatment of dog, accidental poisoning or trauma or any other reason not specifically stated above.
If for some reason one of these problems should arise and you find yourself wanting to place your dog in a new home, we ask that you first contact us.
Our main concern here is that none of our dogs under any circumstances wind up in the dog pound or other type of animal shelter.
There are always other options and we would be more than happy to help.
Your new puppy is also guaranteed until it reaches one year of age against any severe and/or life threatening heart, liver, kidney or thyroid defects.
Additionally this guarantee covers any severe and/or life threatening seizure disorders or ocular defects resulting in blindness for one year from birth.
Should any problem such as those mentioned above arise, that are clearly hereditary in nature, the owner is to contact Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel immediately. In addition to their written statement of intent to invoke the terms of the guarantee, the owner should provide documentation and any or all x-rays or other material from their veterinarian to Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel who will upon receiving them seek a confirming diagnosis from a veterinarian of our choice.
Should the condition prove to be hereditary in nature and have a serious adverse effect on the dog’s quality of life, an exchange will be made for a puppy of equal value to the dog in question, chosen by the breeder, upon availability.
This exchange is contingent on either veterinary verification of the dog’s euthanasia (for purposes of minimization of pain and suffering) or in non-life threatening cases a spay/neuter verification from your veterinarian.
Additionally, your new puppy is guaranteed until it reaches two years of age against severe crippling hip and elbow dysplasia. In an instance where sever crippling hip or elbow dysplasia is diagnosed a replacement puppy will be provided so long as the new owners take the steps set forth below in this contract. First of all the owners must immediately notify Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel of the diagnosis.
The owner must then provide x-rays for submission to OFA (the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and/or a veterinarian of the breeder’s choosing.
If the diagnosis of severe crippling hip or elbow dysplasia (dysplasia so extreme that it prevents the dog from being a functional family companion and that surgery or euthanasia is required) is confirmed, a replacement puppy of equal value, of the breeder’s choosing, will be provided.
This replacement is contingent on the owners providing a written statement from their veterinarian that the dog is not and has never been overweight for its bone structure and that no evidence exists that the puppy was overstressed or over exercised during this important developmental period of its life.
Furthermore, the veterinarian must indicate there have been no signs of abuse, neglect or past injuries that could be the cause of such dysplasia. In cases where the exchange is to take place and the owners of the dog to be replaced have chosen surgery rather than euthanasia, they must also provide written documentation that the dog in question has been spayed or neutered and has never sired or whelped a litter. It is agreed and understood that in all instances outlined above the only applicable refund is a replacement puppy. In no cases will there be a money refund. If the breeder feels the puppy has been the victim of an accident, abuse or neglect, the health warranty will be void.
The buyer agrees to maintain this dog in good health, provide routine preventative health care including, but not limited to, inoculation, internal and external parasites, and preventative medication.
Veterinary records must be provided to breeder if requesting a replacement. The puppy is to be fed a high quality puppy/dog food (unless a different food is agreed upon prior to the purchase of the puppy and stated in this contract) and have fresh water available and adequate shelter. If any of the above preventative care has not been provided, or if the breeder feels the puppy has been the victim of abuse or neglect, the health warranty will be void.
Deposits are non-refundable if buyer decides a puppy is no longer wanted.
First come, first serve, first deposit gets first pick of litter, second deposit gets second pick and so on. Final picks must be chosen by or before the week the puppies turn 4 weeks old.
We require that the puppy be paid in full before leaving premise.
When shipping is required, it is at the buyer’s expense. All puppies will have first shot, wormed, and will be accompanied by a veterinary health certificate if being shipped by air. Shipping fees include: air fare and travel to the Airport. If a puppy must be returned all shipping and transportation costs are at the expense of the buyer. The buyer agrees to maintain the dog in a humane environment and to properly train and care for the dog. Under no circumstances shall Chinny Chin Chin's Kennel be liable to the buyer or to any third party for any consequential, incidental, or special damages resulting from or in manner related to the dog.
Upon receipt of puppy all veterinary care and its associated costs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the buyer.
We have taken steps to ensure that your new puppy is healthy. Your puppy has been selectively bred for excellent quality, health, soundness, intelligence and good temperament. Your puppy has been on a vaccination and deworming schedule here. It is very important to continue vaccinations and a worming schedule for your puppy and don’t forget annual boosters. The puppy will need follow-up vaccination, worming, flea control, rabies vaccination and heart worm prevention as recommended by your vet.
