Guarantee

1. Health Guarantee Period

Our health guarantee typically spans a period of 1 to 2 years from the date of adoption. This timeframe allows us to cover a range of potential genetic and congenital health issues that may not be immediately apparent. By offering this guarantee, we demonstrate our confidence in the health of our puppies and provide peace of mind to new owners.

2. Veterinary Examination

We require new puppy owners to schedule a veterinary examination within a specific timeframe, usually within 72 hours of bringing their puppy home. This examination aims to confirm the puppy’s overall health and well-being. If any serious health issues are identified during this check-up, we will collaborate with you to find a solution, which may include medical care or options for a replacement puppy.

3. Genetic Health Issues

Our health guarantee specifically addresses serious genetic conditions that may arise within the guarantee period. If a puppy is diagnosed with a significant genetic issue—such as hip dysplasia or other hereditary disorders—we offer options to support you. This may include providing a replacement puppy of equal value or issuing a full or partial refund, depending on the case. This policy reflects our commitment to responsible breeding and our desire to ensure that you are fully satisfied with your experience.

4. Documentation

When you adopt a puppy from us, you will receive all relevant health records and documentation. This includes vaccination history, deworming treatments, and results from any health screenings conducted prior to adoption. By providing this information, we help you understand your puppy’s health background and ensure you have the necessary records for future veterinary care.

5. Support and Guidance

Our commitment to your puppy’s health extends beyond the adoption process. We offer ongoing support and guidance for any health-related questions or concerns you may have throughout your puppy’s life. Whether you need advice on nutrition, training, or health care, we’re here to help. This support system fosters a strong relationship and reassures you that you’re not navigating puppy ownership alone.

6. Return Policy

If, for any reason, you find that you are unable to keep your puppy, we have a return policy in place. We welcome the puppy back into our home to ensure they are placed in a loving and caring environment. This policy reflects our deep commitment to the well-being of our dogs and ensures that they are never left without support. We believe that every puppy deserves a loving home, and we are dedicated to finding the best solution for both the puppy and the owner.

By offering this comprehensive health guarantee, we aim to build trust and confidence with our puppy owners, ensuring that you feel supported and secure in your decision to welcome a Dachshund into your family.

Health Guarantee

Our health guarantee covers several specific genetic conditions commonly associated with Dachshunds. These include:

1. Hip Dysplasia

Hip dysplasia is a hereditary condition where the hip joint doesn’t develop properly, leading to instability and improper alignment. This can result in pain, arthritis, and mobility issues as the dog ages. Symptoms may include difficulty getting up, reluctance to jump or run, and a noticeable change in gait. Early diagnosis through veterinary examinations can help manage the condition with weight management, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, surgical options. Our guarantee provides peace of mind that if your puppy develops hip dysplasia within the covered period, we will work with you to address it.

2. Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)

IVDD is a condition where the discs between the vertebrae in the spine rupture or herniate, causing pain, weakness, or even paralysis. Dachshunds are particularly susceptible to IVDD due to their elongated bodies and short legs. Symptoms may include reluctance to move, yelping in pain, or an unsteady gait. Treatment options vary from conservative management (rest and medication) to surgical intervention. Our health guarantee covers IVDD, ensuring support if your puppy faces this serious condition.

3. Patellar Luxation

Patellar luxation occurs when the kneecap (patella) dislocates from its normal position, leading to pain and difficulty in walking. This condition can be present at birth or develop over time and is classified into different grades based on severity. Dogs may exhibit a skipping or hopping motion when walking, and severe cases may require surgical correction. By including patellar luxation in our health guarantee, we aim to provide reassurance that you will receive support if your puppy experiences this issue.

4. Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)

PRA is a genetic eye disorder that results in the gradual degeneration of the retina, leading to vision loss and, ultimately, blindness. Symptoms may begin with night blindness and progress to difficulty seeing in daylight. While there is currently no cure for PRA, early detection and adaptation can help manage the condition. Our health guarantee covers PRA, allowing us to assist you if your puppy is diagnosed with this serious eye condition.

5. Von Willebrand’s Disease

Von Willebrand’s disease is a hereditary blood disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot properly due to a deficiency in a specific clotting factor. This can lead to excessive bleeding from minor injuries or surgery. Symptoms may include prolonged bleeding, nosebleeds, or blood in the urine. Management involves avoiding situations that could lead to injury and, in some cases, medication. Our health guarantee includes coverage for this condition, giving you peace of mind regarding your puppy’s health.

6. Ear Infections

While not strictly genetic, Dachshunds can be predisposed to ear infections due to their unique ear structure. The long, floppy ears can trap moisture and debris, creating an environment conducive to infections. Symptoms include itching, redness, and a foul odor. Regular ear cleaning and veterinary check-ups can help prevent infections. We provide guidance on how to care for your puppy’s ears and ensure that owners are equipped to manage this condition effectively.

By covering these specific genetic conditions in our health guarantee, we demonstrate our commitment to responsible breeding and the long-term health of our Dachshunds. We believe in providing our puppy owners with the support and resources necessary to ensure their new companions lead happy, healthy lives.
