good health at the time of sale. BREEDER will provide first vaccinations and worming

condition clearly attributable to the BREEDER, the puppy must be returned within 48hours with a written veterinary statement of said hereditary condition at BREEDER's
expense for a full refund (of said puppy only, less shipping related expenses) or a
replacement puppy.

their choice prior to the return of the puppy. ~DYSPLASIA:

BREEDER in writing and provide a statement of diagnosis from two (2) veterinarians (at
buyers expense), one of whom may be chosen by the BREEDER. A replacement puppy
