One year covered on any health related genetic problems, with $ to pay related vet bills up to the purchase price of the pup. I just don't understand how anyone would want a 'replacement' puppy offered by most breeders, though it is an option up to the buyer on my contract. I do not cover LP, because that can be environmental, but would be willing to cover that if vets felt it was not injury related.
Lifetime return is required if the purchaser ever chooses to relinquish the pup.
It is my understanding that down-ears are a genetic fault.
I have only sold one pup with breeding rights to someone I am mentoring.
If I ever had a boy with undescended testicles, I would certainly compensate for the difference in neuter fees.
okay, maybe it was 20 cents worth... |
Haha Stacy, don't worry about you 20 cents..I've already given about a buck fifty..
Health is most important but I have to say that down ears can also be unrealted to genetics. For example, I have been battling with one of my Biewers girl's ears to stand. I know that down ears is not in these genes. I have 5 litter mates from 2 different litters. I also have seen the other siblings and the parents. All have erect ears. Lovetta is the female who's ear has been a struggle. I have been gluing her ear up all this time and she just turned 10 months. Guess what.. that darn ear is FINALLY up!!! It's been staying up for the past 2 wks but I still glue it for reinforcement. This is quite mystery, her ears are perfect not too big, not heavy leather and I've kept the hair off. Must have been because she's teething. There was a time I was going ot just let it go but I couldnt stand to look at it..lolol.. It wasn't floppy, it appeared flimsey flipping up and down but not staying up all the time.
I have seen this happen with pups that have left my home with perky ears and then flop later on. I educate the new owners on how to glue them up. Some prefer them flippy others do the glue and it works. So I tend to disagree that flipply/floppy ears are
always genetic.
I think it's great that pet owners are doing their homework and are being selective in what they want. So refreshing!!!
