1. HEALTH OF THE PUPPY
At the time of delivery, the Puppy shall be in good health. The Puppy comes with up to date health
records and has been microchipped and vaccinated with 1 DA2PP vaccines along with being tested
for Coccidia & Intestinal parasites (negative). The Puppy will have also received 4 dewormings (2, 4,
6 & 8 weeks).
Owner is responsible for any further vaccinations and overall health & wellbeing of the puppy after
the time of drop off on _____________ 2026
The Breeder recommends the Purchaser have a licensed veterinarian examine the puppy within 72
hours from final acceptance (pick-up/delivery) to certify such health by certified DVM at Purchaser’s sole expense. Any health issues discovered by Purchaser’s DVM during the health check appointment must be disclosed to Breeder in writing within the 72 hour period.
2. TEMPERAMENT:
We carefully evaluate the temperament of our puppies prior to sale. We raise the puppies to
provide them with all the tools they need to develop into wonderful dogs; however, we do not
warrant the temperament of our puppies after they leave our property. Environment plays a major role in determining a dog’s temperament. We carefully screen prospective purchasers; however, we have no control over the environment provided after sale. We highly suggest the Puppy attend a kindergarten class as well as a basic obedience class in a group setting along with continued training and socialization.
3. Genetic Health / HIP & ELBOW DYSPLASIA WARRANTY:
Providing our clients with sound dogs is extremely important to us.
The Puppy is guaranteed to be free of any terminal life threatening genetic illness or lameness due to “crippling” or
“severe” hip / elbow dysplasia (under PennHip / OFA / SV Standards) until the Puppy is 25 months of age.
This is not a guarantee of perfect hips radiographically, but a guarantee of functional soundness until 25 months of
age. To exercise this warranty, have the puppy SV / Penn Hip / OFA x-rayed by a licensed veterinarian. The hip & elbow
x-rays must be mailed to Penn Hip / OFA / SV for grading. We DO NOT accept a veterinary note, the grade must be a certified rating from one of these organizations. The diagnosis must state “severe” or “crippling” hip / elbow dysplasia.
A copy of the grade(s) and x-rays MUST be emailed to the breeder in order to honor this agreement.
*The microchip MUST also be on the x-ray and scanned by the vet prior to x-ray.
Because environmental factors (ie. Harsh exercise of a dog under 25 months, improper nutrition, various injuries, being overweight etc.) can have such a huge effect on hip soundness, we can only offer a ½ refund of purchase
price (after deposit),
-if the Puppy is diagnosed with one of the following prior to 25 months of age AND with proof of Spay / Neuter of said Dysplastic Dog at 18 months- 36 months of age or after return of said dog.
*OFA Moderate or Severe Hip dysplasia
Grade 2 or 3 Elbow dysplasia
*SV A4 or A5 ratings for Hips / Elbows
*PennHip Moderate - Severe OA Hips
If one of our puppies gets diagnosed with any terminal genetic illness under the age of 25 months, we offer a ½ refund of purchase price (after deposit).
*This MUST be verified by two different veterinary practices.*
We will take any dog back if owners would like - the return of said dog is not required in order for the ½ refund to be issued.
Vom Clark’s German Shepherds offers no warranties besides what is expressly provided for herein.
Disclaimer:
•Even though we screen all our breeding dogs to be passing and free of hip & elbow dysplasia, with OFA and / or SV,
it can absolutely still occur in any purebred German shepherd.
Puppies out of health tested parents have a BETTER potential for never developing dysplasia, but it can never be fully guaranteed it won’t occur.
•How you raise your puppy DOES matter.
Stairs, slick floors, too much crating, jumping off objects / furniture that are taller than the puppy and too much rough play with other dogs / fetch have all been shown to increase the chances of developing a joint issue.
Please do research and understand puppies can develop all kinds of issues - even when parents do it.
This includes food or environmental allergies, GI issues, dysplasia, reactivity or aggression.
>We require the owner to obtain pet insurance for your puppy - just in case the unpredictable occurs for the health warranty to be implemented.
If you choose to not obtain some sort of pet insurance between 0-12 months of age, our health guarantee is void.
We recommend up to 2 years of pet insurance through AKC, Pumpkin, Trupanion or any other agency that grants coverage for issues that could arise.
4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
In the event the Purchaser(s) decides at any time during the Puppy’s life to part with the Puppy, the
Breeder shall have the first option to take back the Puppy. The Purchaser(s) must notify the Breeder by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested of their intent to part with the Puppy. The Breeder shall have fourteen (14) days from receipt of the notice to exercise their right of first refusal.
The buyer is responsible for the cost of relocating the dog back to the breeder (flight/ground
transport etc).
*NO dog Vom Clark’s German Shepherds produces is ever allowed to be put into a Shelter or Rescue.
In the event that the Purchaser(s) breaches this clause, Purchaser(s) agrees to pay to the Breeder
