Congenital Defect Clause

Congenital defects are considered on a case-by-case basis. As with any living being defects can happen regardless of parental health, pedigree, history, and genetics. There is no test available prior to birth to determine if a breeding may produce a congenital defect. Most defects can be surgically corrected or managed with appropriate veterinarian care. Most congenital defects are a rare, unexplained, unpredictable occurrence. Congenital defects are a risk when buying any breed/species/animal at any age. Congenital defects can range from benign to terminal.

We do not cover congenital defects not leading to loss of life.

Life threatening or terminal congenital defects are subject to qualify for replacement of the dog if we feel the defect was due because of the breeding.
