Puppy Guarantee

The puppies general health is guaranteed for one week after the date that it is shipped.

The puppy will have a thorough examination by our veterinarian before being shipped. It will come with an International Health Certificate signed by my vet. When the pup is shipped it comes with detailed health records for worming and shots. Upon arrival the buyer will have his or her vet examine the pup, paid for by the buyer. The Buyer may, within 72 hours of receiving the dog into his/her possession, return the dog to seller in the same condition delivered, without question. Buyer will be subject to a restock fee of 25% of the dog's purchase price. The cost and related expenses of returning the dog to seller's place of business shall be buyer's sole obligation. If buyer decides not to take delivery of the dog the re-stock fee still applies as a non-refundable deposit.

The male  pups are warranteed to have both testicles drop. This part of our warranty that expires at 12 months of age. Puppies will not be replaced until 12 months of age. Testicles can drop as late as 18 months. If a pups testicle(s) did not drop the customers will have one of two choices.

Our hip guarantee is for a pup replacement guarantee.

The pups hips are warranteed to OVC/OFA/sv at 14  months of age. This warranty expires when the pup is 14 months old.

We recommend preliminary x-rays at 12 months. If the owners vet suspects a problem with the hips, the owner or his vet should send the x-rays to the OVC/OFA /sv and ask for a preliminary opinion. A copy of the x-ray must be sent to Kennels before the dog is replaced. If my vet(s)determine that the positioning is bad on the x-ray I will not accept that x-ray as grounds for a replacement dog. and read the article wrote at http://www.leerburg.com/hipart.htm correct positioning of hips for x-rays. It seems a great many Vets do not know how to properly position a dog for an x-ray and being out of position even a little can cause a false negative reading.

The hip warranty is non transferable.

Hip dysplasia has four major causes:

• genetics

   

• diet

   

• over feeding

   

• too much exercise at a young age

It is felt by some that genetics play between a 25% and 30% role in a dog having hip dysplasia. This means that new owners can assume a great deal of responsibility (70% to 75%) in their dog developing good hips. This means a good diet , here at Yukon Hausberg kennels we feed an all natural raw diet. http://www.leerburg.com/diet.htm  Heatlh warranty is void if a poor quality kibble is being feed to the pup . Buyer will have to provide receipts for raw diet ( including supplements) and or for a high quality kibble ( any kibble that contains meat by products is not acceptable ) Ask for Details . Raw may cost more but it will mean less trips to the vet and a healther dog .

Dogs should be kept lean. Carrying too much weight at a young age is going to add stress on soft puppy bones .

New owners need to be very careful of over exercising a pup. This means no jogging until after the dog is 12 months old. This mean not exercising to the point of exhaustion, or taking the pup for long long walks. Around the block is fine, a 2 mile walk is not fine. No jumping In and out of the back of trucks.

In addition I will only replace a pup once. If someone gets two pups from my kennel and both have bad hips, then that person is doing something wrong in the way they raise their dogs and I will not cover any additional replacements.

Temperament is determined by genetics and environment. Too often, nice puppies develop temperament problems as a result of the way they were raised. We have no control over environment.
