FAQ
What is the Health Guarantee form?
The Health Guarantee form is a contract between the breeder and the buyer that outlines the terms of sale for a puppy. It details the health status of the puppy at the time of sale and establishes the responsibilities of both parties regarding the puppy's health and well-being.
What should I do if my puppy shows signs of illness?
If your puppy shows signs of illness, you must have the puppy examined by a veterinarian of your choice within 72 business hours from the time of delivery or pickup. If a life-threatening defect is found, you may return the puppy for a replacement.
What happens if my puppy is diagnosed with a severe genetic defect?
If your puppy is diagnosed with a severe life-altering genetic defect by the age of six months, you must notify the breeder in writing within two business days of the diagnosis. The puppy must be returned within a reasonable time frame after this notification for a replacement to be considered.
Are there any costs associated with returning a puppy?
The buyer is responsible for all expenses related to the return of the puppy. This includes any veterinary costs incurred during the examination or necessary procedures prior to returning the puppy.

make arrangements to return the puppy within 2 weeks of notification of defect), the buyer no longer has any obligation to replace the puppy at any later date. If the puppy is returned due to life threatening defects (those listed above), and if Kimberly (the seller) vet agrees to the diagnosis of the condition after conferring with the buyer’s vet, then a replacement pup will be issued as soon as one becomes available.
In the event of the puppy’s death a necropsy must be performed to determine the cause of death and the buyer will be responsible for these charges; Breeder is in no way responsible for payment of this exam, or any other medical or veterinarian charges. The Buyer understands that the Breeder offers No Cash Refunds. If the buyer qualifies for a puppy replacement then the purchase price will be put towards another Canine of equal or lesser value when one becomes available. Under no circumstances will refunds be made in lieu of a replacement. If Buyer rejects a replacement puppy, all sales become final. The Buyer is responsible for all expenses in the return of the Canine. Under NO CONDITION will the breeder replace this canine where the breeder was not advised of its being ill beforehand or "put to sleep" without the breeder’s permission.
All appropriate shots for the canine’s age have been given, and a record of this vaccination history is supplied at time of delivery. The Buyer agrees to maintain the canine’s health in good condition, and to provide yearly examinations, vaccinations, heartworm, and any other usual procedures necessary to assure good health. The Breeder has done everything possible to produce healthy sound canines both by breeding only dogs that are free of hip, elbow, and spinal disc dysplasia, and by raising the canines in the best way possible in regards to diet, exercise, socialization and veterinary care. The Buyer agrees to provide a suitable and safe area for this canine. The Breeder’s guarantee does NOT cover any liability for any injury, or illness caused by stress induced hypoglycemia, canine influenza, pneumonia, parasites internal or external, ringworm, coccidiosis, giardia, hepatitis, other diseases/illnesses/viruses, or mites after leaving our care. There are all types of parasites that lie dormant and that can be brought on by stress or change of environment due to allergies etc., and there is no way to predict how a pup will cope with the change. This is why the buyer agrees to not change the puppy’s dog food for at least 1 week after pickup as to not stress the puppy more than necessary. Also, there is no guarantee against any diseases contracted after leaving Seegmiller Kennel premises. I do my best to provide a clean, healthy, safe environment and to ensure that the buyer is getting a healthy pup.
