Buyer is responsible for transportation costs to and from GermanShepherdSportDogs.com on original and replacement puppy.

6. HIP GUARANTEE

The pups hips must be x-rayed before 1 year of age by a veterinarian certified and skilled at producing hip x-rays for OFA evaluation. These x-rays must be submitted to OFA for evaluation  The pup is guaranteed by the breeder to certify in preliminary OFA x-rays as being Excellent, Good, or Fair.  If the pup is not rated Excellent, Good or Fair, and therefore is dysplastic, the buyer can choose from the following options:

  1. Return the pup, and receive a replacement pup from the next available litter, not necessarily of the same breeding

  2. Keep the pup, and receive 1/2 off the purchase price of a replacement pup. Breeder requires proof of spay or neuter of the dysplastic pup before honoring guarantee.

  3. Keep the pup, and receive 1/2 of the original purchase price back. Breeder required proof of spay or neuter before honoring guarantee.

The breeder will only guarantee genetic hip dysplasia. Genetic hip dysplasia will show up in the pup before 1 year of age. Later development of hip dysplasia is not guaranteed, as this is often environmentally produced. Young dogs or pups involved in fast running, exercise on hard unyielding surfaces, climbing flights of stairs, jumping over or up on things, can develop hip dysplasia. Also obesity, as well as poor nutrition can cause this problem. Abuse, injuries and neglect are other causes. Any evidence of obesity, nutritional deficiency, injury, abuse, or premature stress on the joints due to jumping or climbing will nullify the hip guarantee.

The breeder will honor the same guarantee for elbows.

  1. Return the pup and receive a replacement pup from the next available litter, not necessarily from the same breeding.
