This Contract/Health Guarantee must be read and signed by the Buyer. By signing this contract, buyer also has a great understanding of the Saint Bernard breed. This contract must be signed and returned in full to the Seller via e-mail, fax or postal mail for guarantee to be provided.
Buyer is required to contact me about the condition of the puppy at the time of arrival at the destination airport. Buyer is required to take puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving puppy from airport or personal pickup. Buyer is required to forward results of the first veterinarian visit by e-mail/fax or the guarantee will be null and void. If a serious health issue arises with your puppy, we need to be notified immediately. We guarantee the puppy for 7 days, after leaving my custody, against death from disease. An autopsy will be required by a licensed veterinarian as to the cause of death. The autopsy report, microchip implant, registration papers and a picture of the deceased must be returned to me. If your puppy dies from an accident or neglect the guarantee is void. We guarantee the puppy against life threatening congenital disease for 12 months from the day of birth. This guarantee does not cover costs related to internal parasites, external parasites or treatment for Coccidia, Giardia or Kennel Cough. Previous stated parasites are common in young puppies and issue will easily respond to proper treatment. Be advised that transition to a new home can cause an outbreak of dormant parasites. This puppy has received all age appropriate vaccinations and worming’s. Buyer will be required to keep the puppy on the recommended feed, keep complete medical records and provided acceptable housing. Find a veterinarian that both buyer and buyer’s puppy are comfortable working with. If buyer chose to use Banfield Pet Hospital, a second opinion from an independent licensed veterinarian will be required.
Due to the nature of the Saint Bernard and their large size, we cannot 100% guarantee a puppy against hip dysplasia. Should buyer’s puppy have mild or moderate hip dysplasia, the puppy will NOT be replaced or purchase price refunded. Should buyer’s puppy have severe dysplasia that requires euthanasia, a puppy replacement from next available litter will be provided and chosen by breeder. Before puppy is replaced, the following is required to be provided: a letter from licensed veterinarian providing x-rays with clear evidence of such claim, report from OFA proving severe dysplasia, a copy of report of euthanasia, microchip and registration papers will be rendered back to the breeder.
We cannot guarantee a puppy to be 100% free of Entropion or Ectropion. It is very common for a Saint Bernard to have these issues with their low, sagging eyelids…. it is a breed trait. We breed to avoid these issues but genetics still play the lead role. If puppy is showing obvious signs at initial vet visit with our veterinarian, we will fix the issue if it is deemed to progress negatively. We will not be held responsible for eye repairs later in the puppy’s life.
Replacement of the puppy will be at our discretion. Decision will be made on the care and feeding that the puppy received while under buyer’s care. Improper diet will render contract void. Puppy will be replaced with another of equal value. No cash refunds. Purchaser will be responsible for all shipping and handling in the event of replacement. Buyer agrees to not file a credit card charge back. Buyer will be responsible for all veterinary expenses while in their care.
Buyer understands that health guarantee is null and void if unnecessary medical procedures occur such as gastropexy (stapling of stomach), anal sacculectomy (removal anal sacs) or such.
We do not warranty the puppy for any purpose other than a household pet. All puppies are sold as pets only. We suggest buyer contact a breed club to research your breed of dog. We suggest Saint Bernard Club of America or AKC. All our puppies will have AKC Limited registration…….meaning no breeding rights, unless otherwise stated. _______Initial
By signing this contract, if buyer is ever unable to keep their Saint Bernard at any point in the dog’s life, buyer is required to return the Saint Bernard back to the breeder. Shipping expenses will be paid by buyer unless other arrangements are made. No monetary refund. _________ Initial
Buyer(s) agrees that they understand this contract and that this contract is under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri. All legal issues and court proceedings will be resolved under Missouri State Law. Internet sales are included in this contract.
