Warranty

JAUNENOIR PERM REG'D LABRADORS offers a Warranty with every puppy or dog sold. Excerpts from our warranty are as follows:

The purchaser shall pay a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 to reserve a puppy/dog. If the colour and/or sex of the puppy reserved is not available in the time-frame indicated on the receipt given by the kennel at the time puppy was reserved, the deposit will be returned.

The above said dog has been examined and checked "o.k." by our Veterinarian. This puppy has its 1^st of 3 vaccinations, and dewormed with Panacur (dosage of 1cc for every 5 lbs). De-worming program begins at 2 weeks of age, giving medicine every 14 days for 3 consecutive days util 8 weeks of age. The purchaser shall have three (3) consecutive working days from the date of purchase, to have the dog examined by a Veterinarian of his/her choice at their expense. If the dog is found to be unhealthy or infirm, the purchase price shall be refunded when the said dog is returned to the kennel. A diagnosis of coccidiosis or giardia parasites, does not render the dog unhealthy. A letter from the purchaser's veterinarian is required indicating the nature of the dog’s illness, and MUST be provided to the kennel within 24 hours following the initial vet visit. Transportation charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Through screening and selective breeding programs, the breeder has put forth their best effort to prevent genetically influenced diseases in these dogs. Unfortunately, the breeder cannot guarantee that a problem will never arise.

A certificate from Ontario Veterinarian College & Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals (OVC & OFA) is required stating the degree of Hip Dysplasia and/or Elbow Dysplasia.
