Health Guarantee

Ruff Country Labradors, LLC requires a veterinarian health check within 3 weeks of date of purchase by the Original Buyer for the health guarantee to remain in effect. Should the Original Buyer neglect to establish veterinary care for the puppy purchased under this contract within 3 weeks of date of purchase, this guarantee will be void.

We deworm our puppies with pyrantel pamoate on the 2/4/6/8 week standard schedule. We have also provided your puppy with a vet health clearance check and initial vaccines to ensure optimal health.

Healthy puppies and dogs require adequate nutrition and a healthy weight along with age-appropriate exercise. Puppies are growing dogs and should not be excessively exercised or allowed to play with larger dogs. They should also be supervised when around young children. Their skeletal structure will develop until they are around 24 months old. During this time, excessive exercise or rough play can negatively impact optimal development and lead to dysplasia and joint issues.

12 Month Limited Health Guarantee:

If the puppy is diagnosed with a congenital, life-compromising condition within 12 months of purchase, the Original Buyer will have the option of receiving a replacement puppy from our next litter with availability.

In the event that a congenital, life-threatening condition is identified, the Original Buyer is required to notify Ruff Country Labradors, LLC in writing (or email) within 1 week of the initial diagnosis to start the review process. All medical records and supporting documentation from the licensed veterinarian who made the diagnosis will be required. Ruff Country Labradors, LLC reserves the right to engage our veterinarian for review of records and professional opinion.

No guarantee is given on disposition, ability to breed, conformation, specific OFA ratings, or size at maturity; nor does this guarantee cover congenital issues that may develop after 12 months of age.

Ruff Country Labradors, LLC will not be responsible for any expenses incurred for this process, including, but not limited to, vet expenses, boarding, shipping, etc. The Original Buyer will be responsible for any costs ensued for the acquisition of the replacement uppy, including, but not limited to, shipping or travel expenses.

At no time will Ruff Country Labradors, LLC offer a refund.

A Note on Genetics:

Ruff Country Labradors, LLC (RCL) tests the dams and sires of each litter through Embark. All our breeding labs have been cleared through Embark as not affected/at risk to develop the 200+ conditions Embark tests for. Although our dogs are not at risk for developing the conditions, they may be a carrier of a specific condition. A “carrier” is not at risk to develop the condition as it means they simply carry 1 copy of the variant for a given condition and 2 copies are required for the condition to manifest and affect the dog. If you plan on breeding the puppy purchased under this contract, RCL encourages you to DNA test your puppy and use that information to guide the breeding decisions when finding a mate. The Health Guarantee does not cover a puppy’s potential to be a “carrier” of any genetic condition nor its ability to breed.
