This does not include maladies that are common among any living creature ie: ear infections, food or environmental allergies, misaligned teeth or any cosmetic dental procedures. This guarantee is for severe or life threatening diseases (life threatening or life altering to the extent that it is not treatable or that it causes severe pain and suffering) for the time period of up to 1 year of age.
2. In the case of Hip Dysplasia (HD) or Elbow Dysplasia (ED) or Life Threatening Disease
a. 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. A RAW diet must not be given solely in the first year of life while bones are developing. Weight must be included on the vet report to support the above. Minneola Doodles will not guarantee against HD/ED caused by any of the above reasons.

We cannot guarantee that your puppy will never develop any health problems, just as a pediatrician cannot guarantee a child will never develop any health problems in the future. Some things are just not able to be predicted. Our parents are free of diseases, disorders, and health problems; otherwise we would not breed them. That means our puppies are less likely to develop problems. If anything does occur, you are required to inform us so we can evaluate the parents and other puppies from that litter in an attempt to determine the cause of the ailment and to eliminate the issue from our breeding program.
Minneola Doodles guarantees against fatal viruses for 48 hours after purchase. These include, but are not limited to, PARVO, DISTEMPER. No guarantee on fatal viruses after 48 hours.
Great care has been exercised to ensure the puppy is free of parasites, worms, coccidia, and giardia. Since these are very common in puppies, the guarantee does not cover these very treatable conditions as they could be from the stress of moving, over handling, or lack of rest. Your puppy has been treated on a schedule from the age of 2 weeks for these conditions and it is now the Buyers responsibility to continue any needed treatments and have the puppy checked for parasites on a regular basis.
Breeder will not replace or refund for any personal reasons, but not limited to, allergies, mortality, landlord’s disapproval, family disagreement or any other problems not related to health, nor for a puppy’s illness caused by neglect, exposure to weather, injury, choking, poisoning, etc. This warranty does not include viral illnesses, infections, improper bites, hernias, patella luxation, cancer, retained testicles, food allergies, minor heart murmurs (level 1 or 2), thyroid issues, or ear infections/mites. It also does not include any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals, physical injury or issues whose cause is unknown or may have an environmental link. These are not considered life threatening diseases.
