GUARANTEES

The goal of Parsons Creek Shepherds with its breeding program is to produce dogs of sound mind and body, conforming as closely as possible to the United Kennel Club’s White Shepherd breed standard, and the AWSA breed standard.

Our puppies carry the following guarantees with relation to health:

All pups are guaranteed to be free of hip/elbow dysplasia. However, pedigrees that are free of hip dysplasia, for example, do not always guarantee 100% that a puppy will be free of these issues. Hip and elbow dysplasia can also become present if a dog is ever injured, especially in athletic/working breeds such as these. With that in mind our guarantee is as follows: In the case of bad hips and elbows, that would be an OFA grade of Moderate or Severe dysplasia on hips, or anything worse than DJD grade 1 on elbows. Hip X-rays must be taken and submitted to the OFA before the age of 36 months (3 years), and BEFORE BREEDING to qualify for this guarantee. If at that time the dog has a rating qualifying under the guarantee, Parsons Creek Shepherds will either replace the dog, or refund the purchase price. At our discretion, we may require the dog be re-x-rayed using Penn Hip instead of OFA testing. If still the dog shows dysplasia we will either refund or replace the dog. Guarantee does not apply to dogs with joint issues due to injury. Puppies sold on a breeding or show contract are guaranteed to have a rating at 24 months of fair hips and elbows.
With respect to any other genetic health issues, if it becomes apparent that your dog has a life threatening genetic defect, with written confirmation from a vet we will either replace or refund your purchase price of the dog. Written confirmation must be provided by age 3 of the dog.
When you get your puppy home, they will have had 2 of a series of 3 vaccinations, and have been wormed 3 times. You will still need to obtain a rabies shot, the 3^rd vaccination, and we highly recommend micro chipping your puppy. Ask your vet first, but most times rabies shots are given between 12 and 16 weeks of age. Our dogs are fed Canidae All Life Stages (http://www.canidae.com), and Diamond Naturals adult lamb and rice. They also get some raw meat in their diet.
All health guarantees are VOID if you are feeding a dog food that is rated at less than a 3 stars according to http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ . A bad dog food can cause your dog to grow improperly, have bad skin, poor digestion and a countless list of other problems. Note, many dog foods are marketed as premium foods, but are full of fillers, and unsafe proteins that are preserved with carcinogens (carcinogens cause cancer). I will not back a health guarantee to anyone that is not even willing to feed a healthy food to their dog.

With relation to sound mind (temperament) and body (conformation) our pups have the following guarantee:

Pups that are placed in “pet” homes are generally on a spay/neuter contract. We perform a Puppy Aptitude Test at 49 days of age to test for temperament and conformation testing. We try our best to place pups in homes that suit the environment they are going to be placed in, however no system is perfect. If you change your mind do not want the dog, we will take it back and refund your money if within the first 30 days of ownership. If after 30 days, the following process occurs. Yes, we will take the dog back, but no, you will not get your money back.
Dogs that are placed in show/breeding homes are guaranteed to be fit for either breeding or show depending on conformation and temperament qualities. If the puppy turns out to have any disqualifying defects, we will make every attempt to replace your dog with a puppy that suits, however it may not be from the same sire/dam breeding as the original litter.
Sometimes show quality dogs are placed in pets homes at a reduced price. These dogs have no guarantee with respect to conformation.

BUYER'S AGREEMENTS

1. Buyer agrees to use the kennel name "Parsons" as part of the dog’s name for registration. Examples would be: ___________of (the) Parsons, or Parson’s __________.

2. Buyer agrees to register puppy (or transfer ownership if the dog is already registered) within 90 days of receiving the form and send a photocopy of the certificate to the seller.

3. Buyer agrees to inform seller when they move or change phone numbers for the life of the dog, while under any co-ownership.

4. If during the 30 days of ownership, if you cannot keep the dog for any reason, buyer agrees to return the dog to the seller and receive a refund. Buyer is responsible for shipping expenses, if any. If it is after 30 days, the dog may be returned, however without a refund.

5. Buyer agrees not to sell, trade, lease out, euthanize (except under emergency conditions to end suffering), or give away the dog without the written permission of the seller. I would never knowingly sell a dog to an irresponsible dog owner and would not want someone buying one of my dogs from a third party. If you ever decide that you do not want the dog it may be returned to Parsons Creek Kennels, where we will re-home if possible.

6. Buyer agrees to comply with all local ordinances regarding the keeping of dogs, in addition to providing adequate food, water, housing, immunizations and health care and humane treatment for the dog.

7. If purchased on a spay-neuter contract, buyer agrees to prevent the dog from breeding (even by accident) and buyer agrees to have dog spayed/ neutered within 30 days, or before the age of 1 year, whichever is later. Any breeding under a spay/neuter contract is strictly prohibited, and attempts at registering any litters from a dog that was to be spayed/neutered will be reported to the appropriate kennel club, where the likely resulting action will be a ban of your rights as a breeder for life.
