We understand that your pets require special care, especially during the first year. To support this, we offer a one-year health guarantee covering heart defects, congenital organ dysfunctions resulting in death, genetic defects, congenital life-threatening defects, and canine distemper. If any issues arise even after the one-year health guarantee period, we are committed to assisting new owners in every possible way. We guarantee that we will do our utmost to ensure your new family member is healthy and well.
This document is intended to protect the Breeder, the Buyer, and the pet. To the best of the Breeder’s knowledge, the pet is in good health at the time of sale and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, and general health care. The Buyer should have the pet examined by a state-licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of purchase and is strongly encouraged to do so.
The Breeder guarantees that all necessary precautions have been taken with the parents to ensure the pet’s health and longevity. This guarantee remains in effect until the pet reaches two years of age. In the event of a “proven” genetic pre-existing life-threatening medical condition that prevents the pet from living a normal life, the pet will be replaced with one of equal value and the same gender at the earliest availability. All transportation fees will be the responsibility of the Buyer.
To groom your dog at home, you will need a soft brush and a wide-toothed comb. Start at your dog’s head and work through the coat to remove any tangles before they become knots. This should be done daily for long-haired puppies, which is why many people keep their dogs short-coated.
Take extra care to check the hair around the ears and anus area, as these are often the first to knot. You can buy nail clippers, but be aware that a dog’s quick grows right into the nail. This is fine for clear toenails where you can see the quick, but it’s more challenging with black nails. Sometimes, I cut knots from Penny rather than pull on them, as it is easier on the dog and prevents them from showing their tiny teeth (or the ones they have left after dental surgery).
The skin of a puppy is very fine and can become sore, so be gentle. If your dog expects pulled hair, they will not want to be groomed for long. Stop regularly and give them a small treat; this will keep the puppies happy and relaxed.
Note: Don’t brush your puppy’s coat when it is completely dry, and do not use a natural bristle brush. It is best to lightly mist or dampen the coat first to prevent the fine hairs from breaking.
