SELLER WARRANTS AND AGREES:
- Seller, Jennifer Stoeckl, is the lawful owner of the dam and has full legal right to sell its offspring.
- The puppy is in sound body and good health at the time of the sale. The puppy will have at least one puppy inoculation for canine distemper, canine adenovirus type 1 (hepatitis), and canine parvovirus before transfer. (see puppy health checklist for exact dates) Buyer is instructed to consult with their veterinarian for advice regarding further inoculation and available options such as canine parainfluenza, leptospirosis, and additional worming (fecal tests). Seller refers all buyer questions regarding inoculations and worming to qualified veterinarians; seller’s recommendations are merely suggestions.
- Seller extends a health warranty until the close of five (5) business days from the time the puppy is in the buyer's care. Buyer is to arrange a health checkup of the puppy by a qualified veterinarian within 5 business days after buyer takes possession. Seller shall be notified immediately in writing (text, email, or written letter) in the event that the dog has a defect or is ill. If the puppy is ill (not poisoned) or defective (not neglected, harmed or mutilated), the buyer is entitled to a replacement pup of equal value of the customer's choice, at once or when available, provided a letter from the examining veterinarian is offered as evidence of the puppy's illness. Buyer then agrees to sign back registration and return the dog to the seller at the buyer’s own expense, if seller so desires. Seller’s warranty is limited to a replacement puppy upon immediate return of the defective puppy, and only under the circumstances described above. Seller does not reimburse for veterinarian expenses. Replacement puppy travel and transport expenses are not included in this contract and should be arranged separately by the buyer.
- DireWolf Dogs of Vallecito, LLC’s dogs (herein-after “dog” refers to dogs and bitches) are warranted to be OFA certifiable at TWO YEARS of age. The dog must be x-rayed by thirty (30) months of age, and the x-ray submitted to the OFA for examination and certification. If the OFA finds the dog to have hip dysplasia, the following requirements must be fulfilled in order to obtain a replacement puppy. It is understood that money is NOT refunded and that this warranty is for a replacement puppy only.
a) OFA shall be the sole judge regarding hip dysplasia.
b) DireWolf Dogs of Vallecito, LLC is to receive a copy of the OFA report.
c) If the dog has hip dysplasia, the dog will be replaced upon return of the dog’s International American Dirus Registry (IADR) registration paper, which is to be signed over to DireWolf Dogs of Vallecito, LLC.

d) All freight charges for the replacement dog are to be paid by the buyer of the dog.
- Replacement pups may be chosen from any breeding that DireWolf Dogs of Vallecito, LLC has available that is similar in price to what buyer paid for the dog. If buyer should want a puppy from a more expensive litter, buyer must pay the difference.
- DireWolf Dogs of Vallecito, LLC’s dogs are warranted to be CERF certifiable. The dog must be examined by a DACVO certified veterinarian by thirty (30) months of age. A certified veterinarian’s written report of any heritable eye disease must be submitted to the seller with written proof from the veterinarian that performs the surgery that the dog has been neutered or spayed, and the dog’s IADR registration papers must be signed over to the seller in order to receive a replacement puppy. All warranties are exactly under the same terms as the warranty for hip dysplasia. Eye warranty does not cover injuries to the eye. Buyer’s remedies are for hip dysplasia and heritable eye disease only. No other diseases or injuries or illnesses.
- The above warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original buyer of the dog only, and no dog will be warranted and replaced unless the seller’s kennel name (prefix) is used in front of the registered name of the dog.
