Autumn Acres Labradors Health Guarantee
Your new puppy is guaranteed to be in good health and virus free for 48 hours from the time the puppy is picked up/received. Parasites are a common problem in animals, especially young animals, and are easily treated; therefore these are excluded from this guarantee. A visit with your own vet within 48 hours, (or the following Monday if received on a weekend), is required, including a fecal exam, to confirm the health of your new puppy. (If any parasites are found, treatment will be the purchaser’s responsibility—see above regarding parasites.) Neglecting to properly feed, care for or administer any medications recommended by the breeder and/or your vet will completely void this guarantee in its entirety.
This puppy has a guarantee that the hips will not receive a grade of moderate or severe for Hip Dysplasia at 24 months of age from the OFA, and that his/her eyes will pass a CERF test at 12 months of age, or we will apply the full purchase price of your puppy toward the price of a replacement puppy of your choice, from a future Autumn Acres Labrador litter. (Replacement puppy will be provided when available, or should you choose to wait, must be received within 24 months of returning dog to us.) OFA Certification must be completed before 25 months of age. CERF test must be obtained by 13 months of age. NO CASH REFUND WILL EVER BE GIVEN.
To qualify for a replacement puppy, all of the following conditions must be met:
1. Puppy has been registered with the AKC within 10 days of purchase.
2. You received a statement from the OFA, stating that your dog received a grade of moderate to severe for Hip Dysplasia, or from CERF stating the presence of Retinal Dysplasia or Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and must also be confirmed by Autumn Acres Labradors vet.
3. Dog has never been bred, even if puppies were not produced or were not registered if produced.
4. Dog and AKC papers are returned to us. If you choose to keep your dog, he/she must be spayed or neutered, and original AKC papers must first be returned to us. A signed statement from the vet with the date the spay/neuter was preformed.
5. There must be no signs of injury, abuse, neglect, dog is not over weight, under weight, and has not been used in agility, running, jumping, or over exercised during their growth period of 24 months. Any signs of the above will void this guarantee.
Autumn Acres Labradors will not be responsible for any travel/shipping expenses (returning or receiving replacement puppy), vet, OFA, CERF, or any other expenses incurred by you, the purchaser.
