Health Guarantee

As breeders, our most important principle is responsibility. Every puppy we bring into the world represents not only the future of the breed but also our work, our values, and our hearts. That's why we stand firmly behind every puppy we breed and every breeding decision we make – not just in words, but with real action.

We are committed to ensuring that every puppy we raise comes with a health guarantee, reflecting our dedication to transparency, quality, and ethical breeding. This should be the standard for every responsible breeder – regardless of breed. It is in the best interest of the entire dog community that breeders take full responsibility for their choices and are willing to offer support when something goes wrong.

Why Do We Offer a Health Guarantee?
We understand that hereditary conditions can occasionally occur even in the best-planned litters. Breeding dogs is not an exact science – even with comprehensive testing and pedigree research, genetics can always carry surprises. That's why, if a puppy develops a serious hereditary condition, it is our duty as breeders not to turn away. We are here to stand behind our dogs – and the families who love them.

What Does Our Health Guarantee Cover?
All of our puppies come with a compehensive health guarantee that covers the following conditions:

• Hip Dysplasia: Official grading of D or worse

• Elbow Dysplasia: Official grading of grade 2 or worse

• Patellar Luxation: Official grading of grade 2 or worse

• Spinal Disorders: The guarantee covers serious congenital or hereditary spinal abnormalities confirmed by an official report, such as:

  • Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LTV)

  • Spondylosis (SP)

  • Vertebral anomalies (VA)

  • Other significant structural defects that affect the dog's quality of life or working ability

• Genetic Diseases: If the dog is diagnosed as genetically affected by any of the following:

  • Hyperuricosuria (HUU)

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)

  • Canine Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1)

  • Hereditary Epilepsy

All health issues must be confirmed by an official veterinary report, which will be reviewed and verified by our own veterinarian before any compensation is arranged.

What Is Not Covered by the Guarantee?
It is important to note that our health guarantee does not cover accidents, injuries, or issues resulting from external causes. The guarantee applies only to hereditary or structural defects that originate from within the dog's genetic or developmental background – not from slips, trauma, nutritional imbalance, overexertion, or insufficient exercise.

How Does the Guarantee Work in Practice?
If a puppy develops a hereditary defect that significantly affects its working ability or quality of life before the age of 24 months, the owner is entitled to a replacement puppy of equal value from the next suitable litter. The replacement puppy will be provided free of charge (only the charge of the dog, shipping and additional kenneling isn't included). The original dog does not need to be returned – it remains a beloved family member, exactly as intended.

Honesty, Support, and Transparency
Our health guarantee is not just a formality – it's a promise we live by with every litter. We also support our puppy owners far beyond the scope of the guarantee: we're here for advice, guidance, and encouragement throughout the dog's life.

Each puppy is a matter of the heart for us. And every new owner becomes part of a broader community whose wellbeing is the ultimate goal of our breeding work. Our health guarantee is a tangible commitment to stand behind our decisions – today and into the future.
