Health Guarantee
ERICA'S AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS HEALTH GUARANTEE


Qualifying examination  
The new owner(s)________________ has 48 hours from the time they receive their purchased
Australian shepherd(s) checked by a veterinarian of their choice in order to qualify for the guarantees
below. If the purchased Australian shepherd(s) is not checked by a veterinarian with the 48 hours there
is no health guarantee on this pup offered by Erica Peter.


To the new owner(s):
Please follow your veterinarian’s recommended vaccine schedule. We recommend feeding Aussies
puppy food for the first 24 months of life. After that point, we recommend switching to a adult food.


Life- Threatening illness:
Erica Peter offers no guarantee against illnesses or accidents not contracted on our premises, and takes
no responsibility for associated veterinary bills, If the veterinarian examination reveals that the puppy/dog
has a life threatening illness, the buyer has an additional 48 hours to return the Australian shepherd(s)
to Erica Peter. (At the buyer’s expense,) along with a detailed written statement from the treating
veterinarian about the animal’s condition.



Life threatening genetic defects:
Erica Peter further agrees to guarantee the Australian shepherd(s) for genetic defects that would be life
threatening to the Australian shepherd(s). The diagnosis must be made before 1 years of age. Erica
Peter does not pay for veterinary bills or travel expenses associated with this condition. If the pup should
die of this condition before the end of its 1st year, an autopsy is required. The examining veterinarian
must send Erica Peter all documents and proof of claim relating to this 1st year period within 10 days. If
the claim is valid, Erica Peter will require that animal in question be spayed /neutered or euthanized.




Preventable illness:
Erica Peter  will not accept a claim for a preventable illness. Failure to vaccinate the Australian shepherd
(s) in accordance with the veterinary recommendations for standard practice voids this contract.




Hip dysphasia:  
We offer a conditional (replacement) guarantee that your puppy is clear of hip dysphasia for 1 year from
his/her whelping date.  We will not pay for the veterinary bills or travel expenses. If something is found
with this puppy/dog’s hip’s all documents and proof of claim related to this 1st year period must be sent
to Lone Star kennels.  If we find that your claim is valid a pup of same sex will be offered to replace that
pup. Shipping of both puppies to and from Lone Star kennels is at the (buyer’s expense).



Claims:
Erica Peter  reserves the right to evaluate all claims and reject those deemed invalid for reason
described above. If the claim is deemed valid, the Australian shepherd(s) will be replaced when another
animal of similar appearance and equal  value becomes available. If the replacement puppy/dog is
offered and not taken, then the claim will be considered null and void from that point forward.
