B & B Schnauzers

                       Standard and Miniature Schnauzers

        B & B Schnauzer Puppy Guarantee

• We give a full one-year guarantee against life threatening genetic defects, with puppy replacement options.

• Your puppy must be examined by a licensed Veterinarian no later than 4 business days from the date of delivery.  All of our puppies have been checked by our vet.  Having them checked by your vet gives you the assurance that your vet and my vet are in agreement that you have adopted a healthy puppy.  Puppy is given a 4 day health warranty and a 1 year genetic health guarantee.  Seller is under no obligation to honor the guarantee if this puppy has not been seen by a licensed veterinarian within said time of 4 business days from date of delivery.

 Breeder ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY EXPENSE INCURRED BY BUYER, whether vet charges or any other expenses once the puppy leaves the breeder and is in buyers’ possession.   

THIS HEALTH GUARANTEE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE! 

BREEDER HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO SELL A PUPPY TO ANYONE AT ANYTIME.

OUR GOAL IS TO PLACE OUR PUPPIES IN PERMANENT LOVING RESPONSIBLE HOMES.

• Dew claws are removed at 3 to 5 days of age by a licensed vet.  We remove the dew claws on our schnauzers mainly for cosmetic reasons only. A small percentage of the pups that have their front dew claws removed, may even grow the front dew claws back after they are removed. The reason they sometimes grow back is because they have a bone inside of them, and because they are removed from the puppy at the tender age of three days. If they grow back you can cut the dew claw nails just like the rest of your dog's nails, or you can have the dew claws surgically removed by a Vet at your own expense.

If your puppy is found by a licensed vet to have a life threatening congenital health defect, you must provide breeder with a written assessment from a licensed vet stating in what respect the dog is unhealthy along with the address and phone number of the vet’s office that provided the assessment.  If any life threatening congenital disorder has been determined, the breeder has the right to have a veterinarian of breeder’s choice, provide a second opinion of assessment.

• If the puppy has died, the breeder has the right to request an autopsy to be done at buyer’s expense, to determine the cause of death.

• If a congenital health issue is determined, the dog will be replaced at the earliest availability with a dog of equal value.  Breeder does not offer refunds on puppies under any circumstances.  We breed for the love of a great pet/companion and do not guarantee as to the disposition, confirmation, size or color of the puppy. 

• We can not guarantee temperament of any dog or puppy.  We can only tell you how they have acted in the eight weeks, or more of their lives with us.  The new owners will also have to be very consistent at training to make this pet there ideal dog.  At times the puppy/dogs are training you and you do not realize that what you are doing is not necessarily good for the dog but believe it is so. 

• This health guarantee DOES NOT include hypoglycemia, worms (parasites of any kind), kennel cough or coccidia.  These are common occurrences found in puppies until their immune system is mature, in which all these can be treated. Precautions are taken to avoid these conditions.  Just the same as you can take the best care of your child possible, but you can’t guarantee your child won’t get a cold or anything else that is contagious.  Hypoglycemia is a serious matter for young small puppies.  To prevent hypoglycemia, please be sure to provide your puppy with frequent meals and water throughout the day.

• Make sure he/she is consuming appropriate amounts of each, every meal.  Dehydration can also happen quickly.  Please don’t over exert your new puppy.  Allow them plenty of rest. 

• Your new puppy is eating INNOVA Dry Puppy Food and Wellness Canned Puppy Food.  Please continue to feed this food to avoid digestion issues.  Should you elect to change your puppy’s food, please do so gradually by mixing the food 50/50, gradually fazing out the INNOVA and Wellness.  For strong bones and immune system as your puppy is growing, please keep him/her on a high quality puppy food. Your puppy is on NuVet Vitamin Supplements. It has been proven that NuVet is essential to building a strong immune system for your new puppy.  Take a wafer, crumble it up and put it over the puppies food. We have a link on our website for this product.

If your puppy doesn’t eat, vomits, has diarrhea or appears to be weak, notify your vet IMMEDIATELY.  Please don’t wait.  Puppies can dehydrate and become hypoglycemic very quickly.  These can cause death if not treated very quickly.  Your puppy’s life may depend on your quick response.  A detailed account of your puppy’s care has been provided.  PLEASE TAKE THIS WITH YOU TO YOUR FIRST VET VISIT TO ENSURE YOUR VET DOES NOT DUPLICATE ANY VACCINES ALREADY GIVEN!!! 

• Please also read over the additional care information provided and don't hesitate to call if you have any questions about caring for your puppy.  We are here for you for the lifetime you own your puppy.  Don't forget I am only a phone call away at all times day or night!  

• Please be prepared to follow your vet’s advice on schedules vaccines, wormings, heart worm preventative and flea preventative.  DO NOT vaccinate your new puppy outside of the schedule provided by breeder.  Over vaccinating can cause death!  This health guarantee is VOID if puppy is given rabies vaccine prior to 16 weeks of age.  Vaccines should be no less than 2 weeks apart and no more than 4 weeks apart for a series of 3 booster shots as a puppy.  Not completing your puppy’s vaccines is cause for health guarantee to be NULL & VOID.  Puppies should have no less than 3 booster shots (2-4 weeks apart) as well as 1 rabies vaccine & a kennel cough (bordetella) vaccine.

•  If for any reason, natural disaster, divorce, death, allergies, etc. at ANY point in time, you are no longer able to keep this puppy notify the breeder immediately..  If we are not able to take this puppy back we are more than happy to assist in placing him/her in a loving home.  In purchasing one of our puppies you agree not to sell, trade or transfer the dog without written consent from the breeder.  The breeder will not buy back the puppy, but will be sure to place the puppy in a responsible happy home.  Your are also agreeing to NEVER surrender this dog to a shelter OR rescue group and agree to give breeder first option to take ownership.  Breeder will not reimburse or buy back the puppy from the new owners, but will find a loving home for that puppy and incur all the costs necessary in doing that.

In addition, I further guarantee that at the time of transfer of ownership to the New Owner, that this puppy is completely sexually intact for future breeding purposes if puppy is bought with breeding rights. 

• Male Testicles: When the puppy leaves us and goes to their new home their testicles may not have descended yet due to their age. When you take your puppy to the vet for their first exam they may find that they have not descended.. When the testicles do not descend they are called Cryptorchidism, this does not typically affect the puppy in any major way. It is not an uncommon issue in most breeds and can happen in Schnauzers.

• Sometimes one or both have not descended. The procedure for the neuter may be more invasive and could cost slightly more. Your puppy was sold as pet quality. We do not make any guarantee about non descended testicles for pet quality puppies.  The testicles can take up to 12 months to descend. The male pups are warranted to have both testicles drop. This part of our warranty expires at 12 months of age. Puppies will not be replaced until 12 months of age. Testicles can drop as late as 12 months. If a pup is replaced because a testicle did not drop, the pup with one testicle must be returned to our kennel at the buyer’s expense and as soon as a  replacement puppy of the same sex, size and value becomes available we will replace that puppy.
