Breeder strongly encourages purchaser to arrange an exam with their veterinarian of choice within 72 hours (not including Sundays) from receiving puppy.  If the veterinarian determines that the puppy is clinically ill and this illness was contracted on or before the date of sale and delivery, breeder should be notified immediately with written statement by the examining vet including complete diagnosis of what makes the puppy unfit.  Breeders warranty is limited to a replacement puppy, upon the immediate return of the puppy and its registration papers.  Failure to have a vet check or notify breeder of any illness will void this warranty.
