French Bulldog Health Guarantee
In reality, we can only guarantee that the puppy we sell to you is in healthy condition when you purchase it, and that the parents of the puppy are healthy dogs without genetic health problems, and that we believe the parents are breed-worthy, which means that we believe they have good conformation, good dispositions, and are healthy dogs. We can guarantee that you will be getting a puppy in healthy condition, but we have no way of predicting the future, nor controlling what you do with your dog, how you raise it, what type of physical problems may arise from environmental stress, what climate conditions it may be exposed to, what type of regional health concerns/issues may be found in your area, what type of vet care you provide for your dog, what dangers it may encounter while in your care, etc. -- these are all things we cannot control nor guarantee.
Our guarantee is as follows:
All of our French Bulldog puppies are 100% SATISFACTION and health guaranteed for 60 days from date of purchase. If you are not 100% satisfied with your puppy FOR ANY REASON, you can return it to us for a full refund (deposit not included) of the price within 60 days of purchase. Transportation is not included as we want serious, committed buyers only. In order for us to honor this type of guarantee, the dog must not have any signs of mental or physical abuse, or neglect, and must have been vaccinated appropriately. A vaccination schedule will be provided for each puppy so you know what future vaccinations are due, and when.
If there are any health problems with the dog that require a vet office procedure and/or surgery, we need to be notified and give approval PRIOR to the procedure/surgery being done. If any procedures or surgeries are performed on the dog without our approval, the health guarantee is void. All vet bills are the responsibility of the puppy owner we are not responsible for any vet bills you may incur.
NOTE: French Bulldogs are prone to more health problems/issues in general than many other breeds. Some common health concerns in French Bulldogs are cherry eye, entropian, ectropian, skin allergies, heat stroke, hyper thyroidism, and hip dysplasia. They are also more prone to upper respiratory infections and bacteria/parasite problems during stressful times such as transitioning to a new home environmental, so it's very important to make the puppy feel safe and secure and not be left alone for long periods of time during this transition because they can easily get sick.
We guarantee that the French Bulldogs that we are breeding do not have any health problems. Both parents are healthy dogs or we would not be breeding them because we are trying to improve the breed overall, not make it worse!! And we don't want to see any dogs suffer with health problems, so we do our best to make sure we are only breeding top quality healthy dogs from good bloodlines. We feel this is a FAIR and REALISTIC health and satisfaction guarantee.
NOTE: Be sure to do your research on other breeders who offer a one-year health guarantee that may sound better because it is a longer guarantee, but beware because I believe that a lot of breeders will make you return your dog to them to get a replacement puppy (they typically do not give cash back, and you have to surrender your dog to them). And in my opinion, this guarantee isn't worth much because at that point, most dog owners are way too attached to their dog and will not surrender their dog to the breeder (knowing it will probably be put down). Our guarantee is for 60 days, and it is a full price of puppy money back guarantee (shipping not included), and it is a SATISFACTION guarantee, not just a health guarantee, because we want to make sure the puppy is working out in it's new home, that it is a good match for the owners, and that the owners are happy with it. We give this type of guarantee to try to ensure that none of our puppies end up in shelters, or in unwanted homes.
Any legal action must take place in the county and state (Taylor County, Wisconsin) in which the seller resides.
**We reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone for any reason.**
Shipping. If shipping is requested, all shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Shipping charges are not refundable. We charge $350 for shipping an 8-week-old puppy into a major airport during normal cargo hours. This price includes the airline fee, crate, extra vet check, and health transport certificate. All the puppies from a litter are to be shipped on the same day. If you request a separate shipping day other than the scheduled day, we charge an additional $150 because we live 3 hours one-way from the airport, and it takes a whole day to go there and back to do the shipping. If you require a smaller airport that requires a higher fee, or arrival after normal cargo hours, the airline charges more, and you would be responsible for those extra charges. SHIPPING PRICES GET HIGHER AS THE PUPPY GETS OLDER/BIGGER -- it is based on their weight and kennel size. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
Puppy prices may vary per litter and per puppy. We require a $300 non-refundable down payment to reserve a puppy. **Since down payments are non-refundable, please be 100% committed to getting a puppy before you reserve one with a down payment** Puppies can be picked up at 8 weeks of age, and must be a minimum of 8 weeks old to ship via airlines (federal airline regulation). Depending on how the litter progresses, they should be ready to ship by 8-9 weeks of age. French Bulldog puppies are more susceptible to stress during pick-up/shipping and transition to their new homes, so we want to ensure they are socially prepared and familiar with a crate and being separated from the litter for short periods of time before they go to their new homes because that helps reduce the stress on them at time of sale. Our French Bulldog puppies will have a 6-week vet check-up, 6-week puppy shot, and will have been de-wormed. If any puppy is diagnosed to have a health problem at the 6-week vet check-up, the puppy buyer can get a full refund of the $300 down payment, or have the option to purchase the puppy at a reduced price determined by the seller based on the relevancy of the health problem, or they may opt to transfer their deposit to the next available litter. Our French Bulldog puppies are sold without registration papers in an effort to protect them from ending up in puppy mills. So to avoid that possibility, we do not provide registration papers with our French Bulldog puppies, and we hope you understand why, because this breed is very popular and sought after by puppy mills. And we just don't want to take any chances and have to worry about our puppies being any part of that.
Deposits and final payments should be made payable to: Alicia Soper, (will give you address, not displaying here due to fraud/theft). 715-829-7330. NOTE: We do not accept credit cards or paypal, so please do not fall prey to an internet money scam by someone else claiming to be us. We only accept cash or checks made payable to Alicia Soper at the address listed above. By doing this, we hope to protect our customers from internet fraud. If you are having your puppy shipped to you, the balance due plus shipping costs are due 10 days prior to shipping date. If you are picking up your puppy in person, the balance due must be paid in cash at time of pick-up. Sorry no checks or money orders accepted at time of pick up due to previous bad experience with check payments. You can pay with a check or money order for the balance due if the check or money order is received at least 10 days prior to pick-up date. Otherwise it must be cash at time of pick-up.
