Puppy Health Guarantee
Congratulations on your purchase of a Tattle Tail LLC puppy. Your puppy has been
selectively-bred for excellent quality, health, soundness, intelligence, scenting ability
and good temperament. We have worked hard since the birth of your pup to assure that
you have the best possible puppy for you and your family!
Tattle Tail LLC continues to research and remove out of our breeding program as many
other health issues as possible, beyond the conditions over which responsible breeders
have some control, i.e. adequate hips and eyes. For some of these issues (such as
allergies, cardiac problems, epilepsy, incorrect bites), there is not a "test", genetic
marker, or data base of affected or producing Labradors.
Some health issues are significantly impacted by conditions in the dog's environment or
there is only a "suspected" genetic basis but no clear-cut genetic pattern. For example,
elbow problems do not have a clear genetic basis, and elbow x-rays are not always
easy to read, even for the OFA. Often, elbow problems are due to minor puppy injuries,
hard play or running, jumping off steps or a couch, playing Frisbee, leaping on sand at
the beach, etc., all of which may appear harmless, but are not at this early stage of
development. In addition, such conditions may be simply a fluke of Mother Nature, as
we see with humans.
These issues mentioned above, without clear-cut genetic basis and a test and/or
database for the condition, or those significantly affected by environmental factors,
cannot be covered by Tattle Tail LLC’s health guarantee. Undescended testicles or
female bladder or fertility problems are not guaranteed. For those items that we do not
cover, we would under nearly all circumstances still accept return of the dog, without
compensation.
Our general health guarantee is for 5 business days from the date of delivery, meaning
that you are guaranteed to receive a healthy puppy. All further guarantees are outlined
below!
General Health Guarantee
Your puppy is guaranteed to be in good general health and free of congenital
deformities as of the time you take possession of the puppy (unless otherwise agreed
upon). For this guarantee to be in effect, you will need to take the puppy to your
veterinarian within 5 days of receiving him/her. If your veterinarian feels the puppy is not
as represented, please have him or her write a letter describing the problem. Then call
us (801-598-2567) to make arrangements for returning the puppy. Should this puppy die
from a genetic defect or should this puppy develop a life threatening genetic defect*
within the health guarantee period, Tattle Tail L.L.C will replace the dog with another
puppy of the same sex and value as soon as one becomes available. No cash refund
will be offered (unless otherwise agreed upon in writing). Tattle Tail L.L.C will not be
held responsible for any veterinary bills incurred.
Since Tattle Tail LLC has no control over the puppy's new environment, this general
health guarantee will not be in effect after the 5 days has expired, and will not cover
problems caused by neglect (poisoning, accidents, etc.), or exposure to other sick dogs,
even during the first 5 days. If your puppy develops diarrhea, it is likely due to stress,
water change, food changes or over-feeding. If it continues more than a couple days,
the puppy should be checked by a vet, particularly for the protozoan parasites, coccidia
and giardia, which are common in the environment and easily treated.
Puppy Hip/Eye Guarantee
