Pups bred and whelped at Gator Point Kennels carry a HIP AND EYE GUARANTEE. This covers any genetic problem which prevents the animal from being certified by the Orthopedic
Foundation for Animals (OFA), or the Canine Eye Registration Foundation, Inc. (CERF).It is impossible to state that any given dog will be completely free of a genetic imperfection. In our breeding program, we only
breed to animals certified with an OFA rating of GOOD or EXCELLENT, and CERF rating of CLEAR. We try very hard to research the backgrounds of the sires and dams and any litters they may have produced. Only then, when we
are satisfied that these animals are sound, do we breed. We feel that by adhering to these standards we are cutting down the odds of producing a defective pup or litter. Therefore, we offer this guarantee, providing the
purchaser complies with this agreement.
OFA will only certify dogs who have reached 24 months of age. For this guarantee to be honored, the dog MUST be X-rayed and certified within six (6) months of reaching 24 months.
CERF will certify pups at 6 weeks of age. When possible, we try to have the pups' eyes examined before they leave our kennel. If we are not able to have this done at that time, the eyes MUST be certified by the time
the dog reaches one (1) year of age.
If a problem should arise before the dog reaches the required age stated herein, you MUST have OFA evaluate the X-rays and send you a copy of their findings, or a copy of the CERF
evaluation from a Board Certified Canine Ophthalmologist.
When the following requirements are met, this GUARANTEE will be in effect and honored by GATOR POINT KENNELS:
1. A copy of the findings from OFA or CERF MUST be sent to us
for our records.
2. THE DOG MUST NOT HAVE BEEN BRED.
3. A letter from your vet, identifying the tattoo and/or micro-
chip of the dog, and that it has been neutered or spayed.
4. THE TATTOO AND/OR MICRO-CHIP MUST APPEAR
ON ALL DOCUMENTS OF CERTIFICATION.
At this point, when we are satisfied that a problem does exist, the animal has not been bred and has been neutered, we will either refund the purchase price of the pup, or give you another pup of like or similar breeding. If the price of the replacement pup is greater than the original
pup purchased, the owner will pay the difference. The expense of transportation of another pup will be assumed by the purchaser. This choice will be made by the purchaser.
