Our working/show/breeding quality pups are sold with a guarantee
to be free from serious infectious diseases, genetic, and congenital defects.
If a puppy acquires a life-threatening infectious disease such as parvo within
the incubation period after leaving the Birts, and the sickness can be traced to our kennel within a reasonable likelihood,
a replacement pup of comparable value and the buyer’s choice will
be offered as soon as one becomes available. The buyer is encouraged to have their puppy vet-checked (including a fecal
test for intestinal parasites) within 48 hours. The seller MUST
receive the vet report for the replacement guarantee to be in effect.
The genetic defects included under the replacement guarantee are crossed
eyes, entropion or ectropion eyelids, hip dysplasia
(defined as a failure of PennHip D.I. higher than the median score, CERTIFICATION REQUIRED,
x-ray done between the ages of
1 and 3 years of age), elbow dysplasia,
ruptured cruciate ligament, luxating patella, hypothyroidism, generalized demodectic mange, deafness, congenital heart problems, and epilepsy.
Other problems
will be dealt with as they arise, but our general policy is
that if
both our and your vets consider the defect to be serious and heritable,
we will replace it.
As many of the above problems can be caused or complicated by
environmental conditions, we encourage owners to avoid highly strenuous activity with their dogs before the age of 15 months, as well as keep them in lean condition and on soft surfaces.
If a problem develops anyway, the Birts request written proof and
x-ray from your vet, certification of spaying or neutering, and we will ship out a similar quality replacement pup of your
choice as soon as one becomes available. Shipping and spaying/neutering costs are the responsibility of the owner, not Birt’s Bulldogs.
This guarantee is void if the dog has been bred, so please have your
dog thoroughly examined and PennHip x-rayed prior to breeding.
I have read and fully understand the Guarantee offered, and
agree to the above terms and responsibilities. I will be a responsible
dog owner of the AB breed and will not indemnify
or hold Birt’s American Bulldogs or Chuck and/or Arlene Birt responsible
for my dog’s actions.
This guarantee is non - transferable and is void if the pup is
purchased for less than $1000.00 .
