CONTRACT INFORMATION:
No registration papers come with Frenchton puppies as they are a mixed breed.
We have made an effort to produce you a pet quality, healthy puppy. We guarantee all shots and dewormings are current.
It is the buyer's responsibility to provide ongoing preventative care: vaccinations, deworming, heart worm prevention,
flea/tick prevention, microchip registration, etc.
We do not cover conditions inherent of this breed including but not limited to elongated soft palate, stenotic nares (collapsed/pinched nostrils), heart murmurs, collapsed larynx or trachea, cherry eye, entropion, loose hips, hemivertebrae,
open fontanelle, non-erect ears, patellar luxation, bilateral/unilateral deafness, juvenile early onset cataracts, retained testicles, recessed vulva, puppy vaginitis, hernias, strabismus or under/overbite.
We do not cover NOT cover hips, hip dysplasia, elbow or knee dysplasia. There are factors other than genetics (early spay/neuter) that contribute to Dysplasia, including, but not limited to, the slope that a dog lives on, the floor surface, the activities the dog participates in, jumping off furniture, jumping out of an adult or child's arms. etc.
Growth plates do not close until a puppy has fully grown and matured, around 10-14 months of age.
Things can and do happen so fast, and we can not be held responsible for these accidents.
We are not responsible for Parvo, Distemper, Kennel Cough or Corona Virus, as these are highly contagious diseases
and can be transmitted immediately after leaving the breeder.
PARVO NOTICE
Something to keep in mind. A puppy is not fully vaccinated against parvo until up to 10 days after it has received the third booster. Please do NOT take your puppy to dog parks, pet stores, walks around the block, and places dogs frequent until they've completed their vaccination series. Do not set your puppy on the floor or grass at your Vet's office and clinic. Parvo is rampant and has mutated many times, and will continue to do so. Be aware that parvo can also be carried on YOUR clothes, shoes and car tires. NEVER TAKE A SICK PUPPY BACK TO THE BREEDER'S HOME. If it does have parvo, this will put any present puppies and future litters at risk. Contact the breeder and discuss the situation with us by phone/e-mail. Please note that just one puppy from a litter can develop parvo and not the whole litter. Therefore, if your puppy develops parvo after leaving the breeder’s home and none of the other puppies develop it, it is impossible for the puppy to have contracted it at the breeder's home.
We do NOT guarantee against, Coccidiosis, Giardia, or Worms.
▹ Coccidia is a bacterial infection brought on by stress and diet change.
▹ Giardia is an infection brought on by infected drinking water.
▹ Worms recycle often, and it is very important to maintain a good worming program.
There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors (Allergies, Thyroid Dysfunction, Ear Mites,
and Demodectric Mange) that are not covered by breeder.
Puppy is PET QUALITY. We offer no guarantee that the puppy could or could not have faults.
Breeder does NOT guarantee size, temperament, conformation, or color when fully grown.
GOING HOME
Your puppy is going home to a brand new environment. Any change to the puppy's diet and stress can cause him/her to have hypoglycemia or diarrhea. Your puppy could experience a lack of appetite during this transition time as well and may have some anxiety due to change in environment. Please be patient with the puppy and these issues should correct themselves. Under no circumstances will breeder be responsible for ANY type of veterinary bills, medical bills, legal liabilities or transportation charges. These costs are the buyer's responsibility.
We do not require that new owners continue feeding the food that we use, however, when switching to a new food, please do so gradually. A complete food change can be disruptive to your puppy's immature digestive system and can result in diarrhea and other issues when not done properly.
