Health Guarantee
socialized. The pups are vet checked at least twice once at 6 weeks and again before placement or shipping. Wormed and Vaccinated to age, every attempt has been made to make sure the pups I provide are healthy and loved from birth and into their new home. I breed with a well thought out plan as to what I wish to accomplish, researching pedigrees and breeding away from genetic flaws.
This is for Pet only Limited AKC registration:
The following are not covered in the health guarantee:
Retained puppy teeth: It is very
common in small breeds that at about 6 months the vet may need to extract
retained puppy teeth. Malocclusions.
Collapsing Trachea: Small breeds may develop a peculiar cough, this is due to the Collapse of the tracheal rings, this seems to happen mostly when the dog is excited or over exerted, it can be annoying to the owner but is rarely a health issue.
Hypoglycemia: this is a condition of low blood sugar Literature will be provided, when pups get over exerted, chilled, forgetting to eat they can become Hypoglycemic, stiffness, listlessness, shocky, or seizurish can happen. This is something I go not guarantee will not happen and will not be responsible for the condition> See provided literature.
Pet size: when buying a puppy as a pet I do not guarantee size; I breed to the AKC standard as closely as possible. I do not breed very small chihuahuas on purpose. The very tiny ones tend to have more health issues.
Molera: this is a soft spot that can be present on a Chihuahua, sometimes they close up and other times it can be there for life, take precaution to not let the chihuahua hit their head. This should not be considered a flaw.
Luxating Patellas: Every effort has been made to prevent this problem using only dam and sires that are free from luxation (slipping knee caps), thus preventing passing the problem on genetically. However sometimes this problem can be caused by trauma, jumping up and down excessively, jumping off furniture etc.
Coccidia/Giardia: many pups are prone to an out break of Coccidia or Giardia. Under stressful circumstances. These symptoms can arise in a 12 hour period and can not always be prevented by the seller, the seller makes sure that before pup is shipped or placed that the pup is parasite free, sometimes if there is stress the immune system drops he or she can contract an intestinal upset and if the pup is vomiting, unusual stool or lack of appetite take pup to the vet. Low Sodium Chicken broth can help as well
Hernias: of any kind
For Show with full AKC registration: guarantee testicles for males, to only grow within the AKC standard 6 lbs or under, overfeeding or overweight is the new owners responsibility. I always suggest when buying a dog with full registration for show do not buy a puppy as at a young age It is hard to tell what they may turn out like.
