All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. We prefer not to ship puppies, as it is very stressful for the puppy. We would rather work out an agreeable meeting place (within a reasonable distance) to deliver your puppy directly to you.

YOUR PUPPY IS GUARANTEED AS FOLLOWS:

This puppy is guaranteed to be in good physical condition at the time of sale.  It is the buyers responsibility to take the puppy to the vet within 72 hours that the puppy is in your possession for the guarantee to be valid. If the Veterinarian finds the puppy to have a serious physical condition OTHER THAN a viral or bacterial cold or bacterial infection, such as Coccidia or Giardia, which is easily treated, the seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of comparable or better quality, when available from same or upcoming litter, after the first puppy is returned to the seller. The seller reserves the right to a second Veterinarian opinion. If the puppy is not examined within the 72 hours by a licensed Veterinarian, all guarantees listed are not valid.  Puppies are at risk for Coccidia and Giardia (bloody stools) which is often brought on by stress of shipping, a new home, new food, new people, change of climate or surroundings, etc.

This puppy will be free from genetic/hereditary defects that cause death or serious impairment of the vital functions in the puppy until said puppy is one year of age. If such an inheritable disease is documented by a Veterinarian and presented to the Seller with sufficient supporting evidence (before the puppy is one year of age), the buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy of comparable quality, when one is available, after the first puppy is returned to the Seller.  We, the sellers, do not agree to compensate the buyer for any veterinarian expenses.  Failure to return the puppy to the seller within 7 days is construed to reflect that the buyer is satisfied with the puppy's health and absolves the seller from responsibility from that day forward for non-genetic illnesses or problems.

The following terms are a few examples of conditions not covered in the congenital/hereditary health guarantee...mites, coccidia, pneumonia, heatstroke, ringworm, conjunctivitis, fleas, ticks and ear infections once the puppy has left the sellers hands.

This guarantee does not cover what in the bulldog breed, we consider normal or beyond our control i.e.: Cherry Eyes, entropian, "loose hips", stenoic nares, skin allergies, such as Demodectic Mange, or an Umbilical Hernia. We do not breed dogs with undesirable conditions such as mange or bad hips, but we cannot guarantee that previous generations did not have these conditions in their lines; therefore, we cannot guarantee these conditions will not show up in future litters.

The buyer agrees to provide annual vet exams, including heartworm checks and preventatives and to do all vaccinations yearly. Failure to comply with and provide documentation of these requirements voids all guarantees.  The buyer further warrants that puppy will be kept in appropriate conditions for its health and welfare.  Puppy will be fed a suitable diet for its age and condition. Buyer should feed high quality Large Breed puppy food for the first 6 months, then the Buyer should switch to Large Breed Adult food. Puppy will receive regular booster vaccinations.  Puppy will receive all necessary veterinary care to maintain its good health.

Your puppy will receive deworming at 6 weeks of age (if our veterinary finds evidence of worms) and their first set of puppy shots.  You are responsible for any vaccinations after receiving your puppy.

Temperament of your puppy is many times more dependent on environment than proper breeding. As responsible breeders, we do everything possible to breed dogs of sound mind, and body.  It is the responsibility of the buyers to properly socialize, feed, exercise and train this puppy.

If at anytime the Buyer is unable or unwilling to care for this dog, Buyer agrees to contact the Seller with an explanation of the circumstances. We as the seller reserve the right to deny return of any puppy, but will look into this on a case by case basis.  Neither refund or replacement of puppy will be given.

All of our puppies are sold with breeding rights, although we do not guarantee that all puppies from a litter will be good breeding candidates.  It is up to the buyer to determine if their puppy is a proper breeding candidate based on breed standards from the respective registries that our dogs are registered with (IOEBA & CKC).

Breeder reserves the right to refuse or cancel sale of pup to anyone, at anytime, for any reason, for the welfare of any pup. The welfare of the pup will be the first concern of the breeder.

Buyer Agrees

1. To use the kennel name “Doggehouse” as the prefix in the registered name of the dog if possible.
2. In the event the dog is later sold, or otherwise transferred from the possession of the Buyer for any reason, the Seller will have absolute right of first refusal (if we so choose) to repurchase the dog for a sum not to exceed the original purchase price.
3. The dog will at all times be provided with proper health care, living conditions, nourishment and water.
4. The dog will not be kept on a chain for extended periods of time.
5. The dog will not be engaged in fighting or any illegal activity. We will work with local authorities, in any way possible, to prosecute the use of our dogs for any illegal activity.
6. Females will not be used in a breeding program prior to 18 months of age, or in the case of a male, one year of age.

Every line of dogs have some issues common to their breed. The Olde English Bulldogge is a recreation of the bulldogge of Olde and one of the reasons it was created was for the purposes of eliminating many of the established health problems that the English Bulldog has.  However the dog is still a Bulldog and some problems may arise that are directly related to what we find more desirable about the breed...the flatter face may result in breathing issues, the wrinkly skin may need cleaning and other Bulldog traits not listed in this document may require some level of regular attention.

Stress: one must understand that it is stressful for any puppy to leave its home and littermates. Like you, a puppy under stress, is more susceptible to illness. His immune system is compromised while under stress. There are millions of bacteria, fungi and depending on the environment, viruses all over. If your pup comes into contact with these while stressed, he will be less able to fight them off. Be very considerate of this factor, keep the pup quiet and wait until he knows you and is over his stressful time to expose him to new and excited atmospheres. We strongly suggest you do not expose your new puppy to dog parks, pet stores, beaches, big parties, etc. until he's had ALL of his initial puppy shots and has adjusted comfortably to his new family and home. You will need to give several more when the pup gets a bit older. Speak with your Vet about what is appropriate for your area.
