Thunderstruck within one week for a replacement of equal value
or the full refund of purchase price minus the deposit. Buyer
is responsible for all costs associated with the pup's return.

us a copy of the x-ray, or send us a copy of the ophthalmologist
eye exam, or other test results that confirm the defect. If
an unexpected death occurs and is suspected to be hereditary,
an autopsy must be performed in order for warranty to be valid.

problem precluding it to be nonfunctional or not breedable,
