Linda Maxwell, the seller, agrees to warranty this puppy for 90 days from the date of reservation from any illness that is genetically related. The seller 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. The seller does not agree to compensate the buyer for any veterinarian expenses other than those detailed below
related to the parvo virus. If a replacement puppy is not available a full refund will apply.
Linda Maxwell, the seller, offer the buyer the opportunity to have the puppy inspected
by a veterinarian of the buyer's choice within 48 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 receives 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 is 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, etc.), fleas, small scratches, scrapes or bites from other puppies or coughs
that are deemed to be short -term by the veterinarian of the buyers choosing. The
opinion of the buyer'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.
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.
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 responsibility
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.
In the 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).
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 dog’s ability to be bred or
competitively shown. We offer cash compensation, not replacement, in the
instance of a puppy we sell that acquires the Parvo virus.
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.
