Our contract helps to maintain high standards and expectations on our part and on the part of those whom we entrust to provide our puppies with great homes. It allows all parties to know where they stand, which will facilitate a long-term trusting relationship.

Health Guarantee:
Our puppies are guaranteed until two years of age against fatal and life altering congenital diseases, which adversely affect the health of the animal. Should the dog die within this two-year frame, the buyer will pay to have a necropsy. If reason is congenital, the breeder/seller will replace the puppy. Although as breeders, we strive and health test to improve on each generation, our health guarantee does not cover what is considered in the bulldog breed to be common: cherry eye, entropion or any eyelid/eyelash problems, loose hips/knees, hemi vertebra, skin allergies, elongated soft palate and demodectic mange.
Our guarantee does not include poisoning, accidents, negligence of behavioral problems as training philosophies and environments vary and the breeder has no control on this.
All our puppies are sold on non-breeding contracts, breaking this part of the contract constitutes a 25,000.00 fine payable to the breeder.
There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors and overuse of chemicals and vaccinations. For example: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange and other autoimmune disorders are not covered in our guarantee. We raise our puppies according to Dr Alison Jones vaccine protocol. We feel it is important to consider the geographic conditions of your area and make informed decisions before choosing whether to vaccinate against Lyme and Leptospirosis. The puppy will have received all age appropriate shots, been dewormed, passed a vet check and any pre-existing problems will be noted here.
