  3. Genetically inheritable subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) so severe that it prohibits the puppy from living a normal life span, or a normal active life as a pet and companion.
  4. Genetically inheritable hypo or hyperthyroidism so severe that it prohibits the puppy from living a normal life span, or a normal active life as a pet and companion.


In the event such heredity hip/elbow, heart or eye problems as listed above do occur, Buyer must provide written verification from a veterinarian that the puppy has been so diagnosed. Buyer will be then given the choice of a replacement puppy, if available, or a full refund of the purchase price. If this puppy has been bred, whether by plan or accidental breeding, before having OFA (hips/elbows), CERF (eyes), and cardiac clearances, this guarantee becomes null and void.


5. Ruby, the Dam is a carrier of the Ichtyosis gene. Your puppy should be tested for this gene. If it proves to be a carrier and you wish to breed your dog the opposite breeding dog must be tested for this gene. If the breeding dog carries this gene the two should not be bred.
