The buyer must provide written statements, addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians or 1 vet and 1 certified trainer that the said dog is overly shy or aggressive.  This dog must be certified as having completed at least one AKC endorsed obedience class.  The seller will refund 1/2  of the purchase price of the dog (Temperament is half environment), or if buyer desires, a replacement puppy may be provided at half the current cost, plus shipping. The problem dog must be "put down" by the buyers vet. The seller will not be responsible for any vet bills or health care expenses.

EXCEPTION if just one elbow is effected even a slight injury can cause elbows to fuse wrong. Genetic elbows are when both elbows are affected.  When documentation is provided proving the dog has a genetic defect the seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal or greater value from the first available litter.  The buyer keeps the original pup!    The seller is not responsible for any vet bills or health care on this dog.   Shipment of the replacement puppy will be at the buyer's expense.   The dog with the genetic defect must be euthanized or spayed or neutered by the buyer.
