Policies and Contract Information

These are my policies on my bulldog or Frenchie pups.  If you have specific questions, please inquire.  
Breeder will provide the documentation of current vaccinations and other pertinent medical information performed based on a licensed Veterinarian. Breeding will provide the AKC registration application along with the puppy on the day of delivery/pickup. The breeder has done everything possible to produce healthy, sound puppies both by breeding only purebred healthy dogs (parents) and by raising the puppies in the best way possible in regards to diet, exercise, socialization and veterinary care. 
Terms of Warranty:
Buyer agrees to have the dog examined by a licensed veterinarian at buyers expense within 5 days from the date of possession. If the veterinarian does not give the dog a clean bill of health, buyer must notify the seller immediately. Seller reserves the right to have the dog re-examined by our veterinarian at our cost. Any condition that is minor, correctable or a breed related minor condition is not covered. Any condition which will not go away, or is considered to be a condition which a puppy will not likely grow out of is covered. If the dog is then found not to be in good health, seller will resume possession if agreeable to both parties. Seller does not accept responsibility for contagious disease diagnosed after 3 days from the date of possession.
Heat stroke, exhaustion, dehydration and other heat related conditions are NOT covered in any way.  
This warranty does NOT cover cherry eye, entropion, extropion, distichiasis, corneal ulcers and conjunctivitis. This warranty does NOT cover allergies.  These are common problems in the breed and are not covered in any way. 
In the event of death of a puppy for anything that IS covered in the warranty, an autopsy must be performed for warranty to be valid. Results of the autopsy must be shared with the breeder and the breeders veterinarian.  
All puppies are guaranteed against crippling hip & elbow dysplasia until the age of twenty four (24) months. A second opinion is required by the sellers veterinarian at the expense of the breeder. This warranty excludes dysplasia by environmental factors; injuries; or Buyers mishandling. Sublaxation and OCD can be a result of poor nutrition, improper exercise and/or excessive crating. It is also the Breeders opinion that Unilateral Dyspalsia and DJD grade I is non-genetic and of injury or nutritional origin. No warranty will be provided for the above mentioned conditions. In the event that a warranty is necessary, Breeder will offer a replacement puppy comparable to the original purchase, from the next available litter. Warranty will be at the breeder’s discretion and may be subject to a second option by the breeders veterinarian.
