| continued In the event of refund/exchange, puppy must be returned to seller's ownership, uninjured and free of communicable disease along with all paperwork, signed to return puppy to seller's ownership. Puppy must have had proper care at all times. A $45 processing fee will apply and will be withheld from purchase price. Why should the buyer be charged a processing fee for the seller's provision of an unhealthy dog? How can a puppy with health problems serious enough to come under the provisions of this "warranty" be returned "uninjured" And as stated earlier requirements to return the puppy are the seller's biggest protection against actually being held responsible for selling sickly puppies. A guarantee from a responsible breeder will cover any problem shown to be genetic, and a responsible breeder will not require return of the puppy. The responsible breeder will show concern, will investigate further (e.g. checking on the other litter members), will normally refund the purchase price (depending upon severity of the problem) and even contribute to costs of treatment. At no time will seller's liability exceed the original purchase price of pup, shipping fees excluded, nor be liable for any consequential damages of any sort including vet fees. This limitation isn't even legal in some states, but when a buyer chooses to purchase long distance they usually end up with the laws in that distant state, not their own. Buyer has read and understands that a puppy is a commitment, and that allergies, family problems, landlord disputes, behavioral problems, etc. do no constitute grounds for refund/exchange. Seller has first right of refusal. A responsible breeder takes great care to interview the buyer, and to follow up on important issues such as landlord agreement to the pet, support and advice to avoid behavior issues etc. Second the last thing a responsible breeder would do is refuse to protect a puppy from their breeding from ending up in a shelter or unsuitable home. When the dog is still a puppy, and still placeable as a puppy, the responsible breeder will provide a full refund simply to ensure the safety of the puppy. At later ages when placement becomes more of a challenge the responsible breeder will still require notification and an opportunity to take the dog back. The responsible breeder will take steps to keep in contact with the buyer to try to avoid any of these issues from becoming a problem for the dog. Here are some provisions from a different seller's warranty If the puppy described above expires from distemper, parvo, corona, hepatitis or leptospirosis after 14 days of purchase, Seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal value. Seller will get a second opinion at its own expense and will require up to date vaccination records. The selection of a replacement puppy must be made within 6 months of the buyers claim. Under these terms if your pet dies you are entitled only to a replacement. So if your puppy comes down with parvo and you successfully treat it you are, according to the "guarantee" entitled to nothing at all. The 14 day limit is also too limiting as there are related complicating conditions that can kill after that period. A responsible breeder will do better than that, and some lemon laws also require quite a bit more. Source: Getting a Dog Tips - Reading your puppy guarantee |

The CHIC, working with participating parent clubs, provides a resource for breeders and owners of purebred dogs to research and maintain information on the health issues prevalent in specific breeds. A CHIC number is issued when test results are entered into the database satisfying each breed specific requirement, and when the owner of the dog has opted to release the results into the public domain. The CHIC number itself does not imply normal test results, only that all the required breed specific tests were performed and the results made publicly available. Canine Health Information Center REQUIRED TESTS for a Yorkshire Terrier to obtain a CHIC number: YTCA and the YTCA Health Committee have established the list of screening tests that theowner must complete. ~ Eye Clearance – CERF Evaluation prior to the onset of breeding, recommended evaluations at 1, 3, and 6 years of age. ~ Patellar Luxation – OFA Evaluation OPTIONAL TESTS Suggested but not Required ~ Bile acid ~ OFA hip dysplasia - minimum of 12 months ~ OFA legg-calve-perthes disease - minimum of 12 months ~ Thyroid - MSU lab recommended - prior to the onset of breeding, 2, 5 and 7 years. ~ Cornell DNA bank (blood) For more information please visit CHIC - Yorkshire Terrier The parent club of the Yorkshire Terrer, YTCA requires a CHIC number to be obtained prior to receiving some top-winning titles.
