Puppies Purchased in other States

Each state in the U.S. has different guidelines in regards to guaranteed health for sold puppies. For states that do not have a mandatory health guarantee in place, any breeder advertising through our site is expected to cover the health of their puppies for at least 30 days. In the event that a state guideline is in place offering a guarantee longer than 30 days, that law holds precedence.

*Some breeders offer extended guarantees on their puppies. It is not legal for a breeder to offer a health guarantee that is not at least equal to state law. For a more detailed description of extended genetic health guarantees, read below.

Extended Genetic Health Guarantees (when offered)

  • An additional guarantee specifically covering any disease or illness that is proven to be of a genetic origin through proper veterinary examination and testing.
  • These guarantees do not cover normal veterinary costs incurred while providing general care for the puppy.
  • Proper documentation must be provided to the breeder before any compensation being paid.
  • This guarantee does not cover any costs incurred related to injuries caused by owner negligence or accidental injury.
