Miniature Dachshund – Genetic Health Guarantee
All of our puppies, regardless of registration type, will come with a 2-year health guarantee.
All puppies will be guaranteed to be free of any genetic diseases when they leave our premises, and buyer MUST take the puppy to the vet within 72 hours to verify this. When purchased at 8 weeks old, puppies will have one received NeoPar (parvovirus) vaccine at approximately 5 weeks of age and a 5-way vaccine at approximately 7 weeks of age, and dewormed numerous times – however, this guarantee does not cover parasites such as worms, giardia, or coccidia as they are very common, sometimes tricky, in puppies.
However, we do use all preventive measures here to prevent your puppy having any of these. If within the first two years of life, a qualified veterinarian detects a life-threatening genetic disorder to be serious enough to warrant the euthanization of the dog, the report needs to be sent to us, the breeder, within 7 days of initial finding. I will have a licensed veterinarian interpret the report. If my veterinarian concurs, I will be willing to replace the puppy with another puppy of equal or lesser value, upon the return of your dog's registration papers and euthanization report.
This guarantee does NOT include hair loss due to alopecia in dilute colored dogs (Isabella & Blue) as this can happen at any stage of their life. It is a genetic skin condition in Dachshunds and a few other breeds. It causes permanent hair loss, resulting in a patchy appearance. It affects the hair follicles low beneath the skin and is primarily a cosmetic issue. We like to keep our families informed and let you know of this condition, but as hard as we try not to have alopecia in our lines, we cannot guarantee it with these 2 colors. There is no DNA test for CDA to be able to confirm if any of our dilute carrying adults carry it there for, we cannot guarantee it in any time of our puppy’s lives.
Our Genetic Health Guarantee is only applicable IF said dog/puppy is bred by us; we cannot guarantee other people’s lines. However, if a problem ever occurs, I can do my best to put you in contact with the original breeder.
Our Genetic Health Guarantee is transferable IF I am notified of the transfer of ownership (stated in the contract). The guarantee is only valid for the first two years of life.
While I can guarantee providing you with a healthy companion; I cannot guarantee adult color, size, hair coat, conformation, temperament, nor the ability to breed.
Buyer needs to be aware that a puppy is a baby and that sometimes may get sick due to stress or other related reasons.
Buyer agrees to furnish proper care of quality food, water, shelter and veterinarian care for the life of the canine.
Buyer agrees to notify Dare Devil Dachshunds if he/ she is unable to care or keep the canine at any time in life. The breeder is given the first option to take the canine back or find it a good home. No money will be refunded.
Buyer agrees to NEVER take the canine to the animal shelter.
