- It will be up us the breeders, to decide when the puppy will be ready to go to its new home. Usually at the age of 6-8 weeks, depending on the breed, weight of the puppy and how easily it is weaned from the mother. We will not under ANY circumstances let the puppy leave before it is ready.
- The puppy is guaranteed to be in good health at the time of sale.
- The puppy will be up to date on shots and worming at the time of pickup of the puppy. It is very important that you continue the vaccinations and worming. Please do not expose your puppy to other dogs that are not vaccinated until he/she has completed the entire vaccination schedule - around 16-20 weeks old.
- The puppy will have been vet checked and deemed in good health at the time of sale.
- The buyer, at their own expense, should have the puppy examined by a Licensed Vet within 72 hours of receiving the puppy.
- Documentation must be sent to the breeder within ten days in order for the Health Guarantee to be honored.
- If within 72 hours, a Licensed Vet finds the puppy to be unhealthy or unfit for sale, the puppy may be returned for a full refund - provided the puppy has not been injured or neglected. The veterinarian must provide a written statement deeming the puppy "unhealthy for purchase."
- This guarantee does not cover any health issues caused by neglect or injury from the buyer.
- This guarantee does not include minor illnesses and health issues such as colds, allergies, internal or external parasites or umbilical hernias. However, the breeder will disclose any known illnesses or health issues prior to the sale.
- The breeder will not assume responsibility for this puppy after 72 hours of the sale. It is the responsibility of the buyer to care for the puppy properly and keep it free from harm. Please remember that your puppy must be treated with great care and protected from danger.
- The breeder assumes no responsibility for training difficulties or behavior problems. Buyer will receive an informational packet on how to train their new puppy. If buyer follows the recommendations given in the packet, the buyer should not have any problems with the training process.
- The breeder does not guarantee size. We will give the buyer the weight of the puppy's parents and the weight of other puppies out of that mating. We can give the buyer an educated guess as to full grown weight, but there are too many variables besides genetics.
- The breeder does not guarantee fertility or ability to place in shows. The puppy is strictly sold as a TOP QUALITY PET.
- The breeder is not responsible for puppies which develop Hypoglycemia after the puppy is in the new owner's possession. The buyer will receive information on what to do if this occurs.

- If for any reason I am unable to keep the puppy, I agree to return the puppy to Cedar Wood Farms and not place the puppy in another home unless given permission by the breeder. If puppy is returned within the first 30 days, only half of the purchase price will be refunded after the puppy has been placed in his/her new home. The other half will cover the cost of re-advertisement and keeping the puppy current on vaccinations and worming until the puppy is placed in his/her new home.
- The breeder is responsible for submitting the puppy's AKC paperwork. If paperwork has not been mailed in by the time the puppy is six months of age the owner is subject to a full refund.
- If purchasing breeding rights which ranges in price from $500.00 - $1,500.00, we require OFAS to be completed at 2 years of age (no earlier than 2 years of age). If your puppy purchased from Cedar Wood Farms should not pass OFAS, breeding rights will be refunded for said puppy with proof of OFAS. This excludes PenHip and OFAS done earlier than 2 years of age.
