It
is impossible to state that any given dog will be completely free of genetic
imperfections. In our breeding program,
we only breed dogs that are certified to have either Good or Excellent Certified
Hips that show no signs of HIP DYSPLASIA as evaluated by the Orthopedic
Foundation for Animals Inc. (OFA)
or Ontario Veterinary College (OVC).
We only breed dogs that are certified to have normal elbows
that show no signs of ELBOW DYSPLASIA as evaluated by the Orthopedic Foundation
for Animals Inc. (OFA) or Ontario Veterinary
College (OVC). We also require all dogs in our breeding program to
have an eye exam by a Certified Ophthalmologist showing they are free of
Inherited Eye Problems on an annual basis.
We breed only when we are satisfied that these dogs are sound.
We feel that by adhering to these high standards we are cutting down the
odds of producing a defective pup.
Therefore, we offer this guarantee provided the purchaser complies with this
agreement.
Our guarantee covers the
following inherited conditions:
