Health History.
Food. Puppies are never fed “puppy food’ and Breeder does NOT recommend that any puppy ever be fed any such types of food. Puppies are started and maintained on a diet of Blackwoods 2000/5000 holistic dry kibble. All puppies are free fed prior to leaving Tarbeary Kennels; food and water is available to them at all times. If Buyer chooses to change to another type of feeding plan, Breeder recommends that Buyer do so slowly by gradually adding more and more of the new food to the food that Breeder has been using. The puppy should be fed fed two (2) times per day until it is one (1) year of age or until it stops eating one or both of its meals very well. Breeder recommends feeding a high quality natural or holistic dry kibble supplemented by the BARF diet. Vaccines/Worming.

Hereditary Faults. Buyer acknowledges that Breeder has taken reasonable precautions to prevent the puppy from acquiring hereditary faults such as hip or elbow dysplasia, eye problems (such as cataracts, entropian or ectropian eyelids), cystinuria, or SAS. However, due to the hereditary and environmental causes of such faults Breeder cannot guarantee or warrant that the puppy will not contract such diseases or ailments, BUT in the event the puppy is diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian with a congenital or hereditary problem within one year from the puppy’s birth AND such problem makes the puppy or dog UNABLE to function normally as a pet Then Breeder agrees to replace the puppy with a new one of the same sex and quality within one year’s time. In order for this to be considered the original puppy MUST, if requested by Breeder, be returned with its AKC registration signed back over to Breeder, to Tarbeary Kennels accompanied with a statement from a veterinarian stating that the puppy or dog is, at the time the letter is written and signed by the veterinarian, crippled or disabled from a hereditary or congenital defect and such defect noted. If such defect is hip or elbow related certified x-rays must be taken by a veterinarian and submitted to either OFA for preliminary evaluations, or OVC or PennHIP, AND an evaluation of Severe CHD must be diagnosed if OFA or OVC submitted in order for this guarantee to be satisfied by Breeder, or if PennHIP submitted a score putting the puppy in the 20% or less of its breed or a Severe DJD diagnosis must be found in order for Breeder to satisfy this guarantee. If the dog is bred or used for breeding before the guarantee has expired the guarantee is then considered null and void. If the puppy contracts hip dysplasia, an eye problem, SAS, or any other congenital or hereditary defect diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian, Buyer agrees to promptly notify Breeder as to help Breeder evaluate her own breeding program. However Buyer understands that only in the specific instances noted above shall Buyer be entitled to any compensation.

Buyer also agrees that a copy of any health clearances or certifications acquired by the dog will also be promptly sent to Breeder.
Replacement Puppy. Replacement puppies carry no guarantee.
“Show Potential” Sold As Is. While Breeder has made every effort to breed for healthy and quality puppies that aspire to the level of the breed standard as set by AKC, Breeder makes no guarantee or warranties except that listed above in regards to hereditary faults, expressed or implied, that the puppy is of “show quality” and is only of possible “show potential”. A “show potential puppy” means a dog that has the characteristics to be able to compete in conformation events without disqualification. Except as expressly provided in this agreement, Buyer acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to inspect the puppy and is purchasing the puppy, though sold as a “show potential puppy”,“As Is” and the outcome of the puppy to be of “show quality” is not guaranteed by Breeder. Buyer also understands that Breeder in no way warrants or guarantees the dog's ability to earn American Kennel Club points, obtain OFA certification or produce offspring.
