Congratulations and we are pleased you have chosen to adopt your new puppy from Grizzly Hollow Farm . We do everything possible to deliver to you the very happiest and healthiest puppy possible. Being a Vet Technician you can rest assured the pups get the very best if care ! All of our customers and puppies receive the following guarantees…
You will need to validate your guarantee ,and schedule an appointment visit with a licensed veterinarian of your choice within a week of taking possession of your puppy. We can gladly recommend several wonderful veterinarians for you -If upon examination your vet determines any life threatening, hereditary, any congenital defects or any major health problems with your new puppy, a replacement puppy only, of equal value, will be given provided that we are notified within 24 hours after the exam. The puppy is to be returned to our location along with all paperwork (CKC/AKC registration and health records) and with a signed document from 2 (two) non associated licensed veterinarians stating defect or problem at no expense to us. A puppy of equal value will be given at no expense from us. However, we may not have a puppy available at the time and you may need to be put on our waiting list for a future litter .. we are  not responsible for any veterinarian bills acquired by you,-If the puppy is not taken to a licensed veterinarian within the stated time frame then this guarantee will become null and void.
Infectious diseases/parasites are NOT covered by our health agreement as we have no control over what the puppy is exposed to after it leaves our farm. This includes kennel cough, cancer, mange, allergies, etc. including fleas, mites, or any other intestinal worms/parasites, giardia  as they are common in puppies.You can rest assured that I taken every precaution for the health and well being of your puppy while in my care.
When we are  shipping a puppy to you, we guarantee the health of the puppy when he/she is placed on the aircraft and or other discussed means of transportation. This is guaranteed by the fact that a veterinarian’s interstate health certificate is required by law to ship a dog across state lines.All the animals that are shipped have to have this,though we have no control over what the puppy is exposed to while in transit.
Your puppy is guaranteed for one year (from date of birth) against life threatening congenital defects making him/her unsuitable as a pet. If within this time frame a life threatening congenital defect (not to include the parvo virus, distemper virus, heart worms or any nutritional related diseases) is attested to by 2 (two) non associated veterinarians and the reason IS congenital, we will replace the puppy with another puppy of the same breed, quality and price IF our veterinarian concurs with the required written reports from the 2 non associated licensed veterinarians. We must be notified at the onset of the problem and the written reports must be supplied to us within 7 (seven) days of reports being signed and dated. We do  NOT refund money and replacement puppies will be subject to availability. We are  NOT responsible for any veterinarian bills acquired by you..and will not be responsible for any illness or any health problems which are diagnosed after these time frames. Again, if the reason for death is determined to have been an avoidable cause that I as the Breeder was responsible for PRIOR TO delivery of the puppy, you will be due another like puppy from the next available litter, NO refunds of any kind will be given. The death must be related to something that I the Breeder could have avoided and or prevented –We are not liable for any  injury to the puppy after leaving our farm.
