Health Guarantee & Contract
We believe having a contract protects not only us as the breeder, but you as the owner, and most importantly the dog. The contract is an agreement between the breeder and new owner pertaining to the health and well being of the dog. We believe our contract and health guarantee are very fair to all three. Please read over the contract and don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!
