Guarantee

Carriage House Chihuahuas puppies are guaranteed to be in good health upon leaving our premises and for 14 days thereafter for sickness.  All of our puppies are current on their vaccinations and de-wormings and are examined by our veterinarian and given a clean bill of health before going to their new homes.

NOTE: We have been advised that some veterinarians do not want to recognize shots that are not given in their office. To allow a vet to give these shots again is detrimental to the health of such a small dog. If you allow your vet to start these shots over, we will not be held responsible for the health of the puppy.

We insist that you have your puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of your choice within 96 hours to validate this guarantee. Should the puppy be found “Unfit” upon this initial examination, the puppy will be replaced or a full refund given (your choice) provided the puppy is returned with a written statement from the Veterinarian stating the nature of the illness. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to return the puppy along with any expenses incurred doing so. If the buyer does not have the vet check completed within 96 hours, the buyer agrees to take the puppy AS-IS with no guarantee what-so-ever.

Shipping the puppy from our facility to your home can result in motion sickness and/or stress. While these incidents are rare, we cannot guarantee your puppy from such events.  Puppies have been de-wormed, but we do not guarantee our dogs to be “worm-free” as treatment is an ongoing process. Once the puppy is out of our control, de-worming is the responsibility of the new owner.

No matter how hard you try, sometimes things can go wrong. So, should the puppy become ill within the first 2 weeks, we require a statement from the Veterinarian attending the puppy stating the exact nature of the puppy’s illness. We will replace or refund only if the illness is the direct result of our negligence. Carriage House Chihuahuas is not responsible for any medical expense.

We assume no responsibility for any illness to other household pets resulting in being exposed to our puppies. The introduction of a new pet into the household is the responsibility of the owner.

We guarantee our puppies to be sound with no disqualifying fault at time of sale. We do not guarantee a dog or bitch to “Finish” its championship, even if it is “finishable” at time of sale. We do not guarantee any female to be a “free whelper” or to whelp at all. We also do not guarantee our males to be studs (unless stated) although both testicles shall be descended at time of sale.

Sometimes we will sell a puppy at a reduced price because we feel it isn't exactly "perfect". These imperfections will be noted at time of sale and we will not be held liable for them. This will be agreed upon prior to sale and in writing. There is no guarantee to disposition, confirmation, size, teeth or coat color.

This guarantee shall become void if it is brought to our attention a puppy purchased from us is or has been abused. We consider lack of proper housing, proper diet, or grooming to be forms of abuse. Should the purchaser decide to "change the diet" of one of our puppies, any resulting illness shall be the sole responsibility of the purchaser.  Should we discover one of our animals being abused, it will be surrendered with the buyers consent and any expense to bring the animal back to full health shall be the buyer’s responsibility. This stipulation is not negotiable.

This guarantee is being put in place for the protection of the puppy and all parties involved. Should a disagreement arise because of this guarantee--it is the right of either party to institute legal actions in an attempt to resolve this matter.

This guarantee only applies to the original Buyer and is not transferable to a second party.

This agreement constitutes the entire meaning and understanding between both parties and is entered into by both parties for the protection and well being of this dog.
