with all vaccinations and wormings current. GLL advises a veterinary check-up upon arrival, and will refund the
purchase price, or replace the dog with a puppy from the next available litter, if the dog is found unhealthy within
one week of the purchase date. This guarantee does not cover accidents or injuries. GLL must be notified and
supplied with veterinary documentation of poor health, before the dog can be returned for a full refund or
replacement. GLL reserves the right to arrange for another veterinarian to examine the dog and verify findings
before issuing a refund. The purchaser will pay for all shipping expenses.
2. Hip dysplasia (HD) can develop from genetic or environmental causes. Purchasers are hereby
cautioned about the importance of a good quality diet and the risks of overfeeding and excessive exercise too
early in their development. GLL will not guarantee against HD caused by any of the above reasons, these
environmental causes should be managed by the owner. GLL will assume risk for genetic causes for the first two
years with the following guarantee: Should the dog develop HD within its first 26 months, GLL will replace it with a
puppy from the next available litter, or refund ½ of the purchase price, at GLL's discretion, if the purchaser desires
to return the dog. If the purchaser desires to keep the dog, then GLL will pay for all veterinary bills for treatment up
to the full purchase price of the dog, directly to your veterinary clinic. Proof of HD is required before a
replacement/refund will be made, and can take the form of documentation from the Orthopedic Foundation for
Animals (OFA). GLL reserves the right to have another Veterinarian, at GLL's expense, confirm the OFA or
PennHip results before a replacement/refund is made. The HD guarantee expires when the dog reaches 26
months of age, unless the OFA recommends additional X-rays at 30 months of age, in which case it will be
extended to 31 months of age, with appropriate documentation. The purchaser will pay for all shipping expenses.
3. Likewise GLL guarantees the dog against Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and will offer replacement, partial
refund or payment of medical bills according to the same terms and procedures outlined in section 2 above, if the
dog develops PRA within its first 3 years. Proof will take the form of documentation from a canine ophthalmologist.
This guarantee will expire at 38 months of age. GLL will guarantee against genetic diseases for 2 years according
to the same terms outlined above in section 2. The purchaser will pay for all shipping expenses.
4. The above guarantees (#’s 1, 2, 3) for replacement/refunds will not be made for dogs that are no longer
alive, or are no longer in the possession of the original purchaser.
5. Purchaser also agrees, that in the event the purchaser can no longer keep or care for the dog, to notify
GLL immediately. GLL will work with the purchaser to determine if there is a suitable home that the purchaser is
aware of to rehome the dog to, or GLL will accept the dog back and rehome it. GLL will not resell the dog, only
rehome it for an adoption fee not greater than the travel costs incurred by GLL to recover the dog. Purchaser
