HEALTH GUARANTEES


BUYER AND SELLER AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE FOLLOWING WARRANTY:

Barenberg Shepherds, herein referred to as the Seller, will have a licensed Veterinarian examine the puppy thoroughly prior to shipping. The puppy will be shipped only if in good health with shots current. Applicable records and AKC limited registration will be included with puppy at time of sale. Puppies are sold as "companions", not for breeding.

Buyer is required to take the puppy to his/or her licensed Veterinarian within 72 hours of arrival. The puppy is guaranteed to be in good health and free of any communicable diseases.

Seller warrants the puppy for 12 months to be free of genetic disease that would cause severe disability or death.

Buyer is required to provide proper care for the puppy, including food appropriate to age and breed, proper shelter from heat and cold, limited exercise to avoid possible hip disorder (until 12 months), and appropriate professional veterinarian services as necessary. Appropriate Veterinarian care includes, but is not limited to, regular shots, heartworm preventative and control of parasites/worms. Please refer to our website page Health Recommendations for more information. This page will also be included with puppy's records.

Seller warrants the hips to OFA standards. Hips are warranted to be Excellent, Good, Or Fair. This warranty expires when the puppy turns 25 months old. In the event that the buyer's Vet suspects a problem with the hips x-rays are to be sent to OFA for evaluation. If the x-rays are deemed questionable due to x-ray film quality or positioning of the dog additional x-rays may be required at the expense of the buyer.

Buyer agrees not to breed female puppies unless OFA ratings are as described above and registration has been upgraded to "full" by breeder. All warrranties are null and void if puppy is bred without having breeder upgrade registration first.

Seller agrees to replace the puppy with one of equal value in the event that one of the above warranted defects apply. If there is a price difference between the litters, the difference must be paid by the buyer. The shipping cost of the replacement pup is the buyer's responsibility.

Buyer agrees that this warranty is null and void if he/she does not follow all of the written requirements listed above.

BUYER and SELLER agree that there are no other warranties expressed or implied other then those stated here.
