health guarantee
We want our puppies to live full happy and healthy lives unaffected by preventable traits we could have avoided. This is why we take the extra time, money, and sometimes heart break of doing health testing to make sure we are benefiting the dog, owners, and integrity of the Labradoodle breed.
Before we even breed a litter we start off with Health tested parents
With testing we know if our dogs are clear, carriers, or effected of a variety of genetic defects like; Degenerative Myelopathy, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration, Retinal Dysplasia/Oculoskeletal Dysplasia 1, Von Willebrand Disease I, etc. For coat DNA we test B locus, A locus, E locus, IC locus, K locus, M locus, S locus. This tells us possible colors such as red, creams, black, or chocolates, patterns such as; solid, mismarked, parti, phantom, sable, or merle. It is prudent to health test to avoie producing dogs with genetic diseases that could have been avoided, it is part of being an ethical breeder. It's our responsibility to insure the health and wellbeing of our dogs we produce by taking preventive measures. This is a large contributing factor between backyard breeders and ethical breeder adoption fees who properly test their dogs. It costs money to do so, but helps prevent large on going medical expenses that could have been easily avoided. Because we are confident in our health preventative measures, we provide a 1 year health guarantee on all of our puppies.
Our HEALTH GUARANTEE
Our dogs health is guaranteed for 2 years from the date of birth against all serious life altering genetic disease. We only breed dogs with clear or 1 side carrier of a DNA disease to never create an effected puppy. Should a genetic disease be discovered during this time frame that will greatly shorten the life of, or greatly alter the quality of life of the dog, we will reimburse medical receipts provided by a qualified veterinarian to AZ Blue Sky Dogs up to the cost paid for the dog minus the original non-refundable deposit. The Breeder reserves the right to have a second opinion by a licensed veterinarian of Breeder’s choice, at Breeder’s expense. This guarantee applies to the original dog only and is non-transferable.
​
Upon receipt of the puppy all veterinary care and associated costs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the BUYER. The BUYER agrees to maintain this dog in good health, provide routine preventative health care including, but not limited to: Immunizations and annual check-ups. Veterinary records must be provided if any warranty issues are to be discussed. Breeder reserves the right to review all medical/treatment records with a licensed veterinarian of Breeder’s choice, at Breeder’s expense. If any of the above preventative care has not been provided, health warranty will be void. Under no circumstances shall AZ Blue Sky Dogs be liable to the BUYER or to any third party for any consequential, incidental, or special damages resulting from negligence and/or environmental factors related to this dog.

-
Failure to deworm puppy on schedule
-
Neglect, trauma, dropped, or abuse

Excessive stair climbing or vigorous excessive exercise until (at minimum) 1 year of age, 18 months if doing agility. This is to ensure you have given your pup time for bones and joints to develop until growth plates have closed.
-
Feeding the puppy a poor quality diet.
-
High exposure to other dogs and outside high traffic dog areas until the puppy is at least 16 weeks old and has been given it’s third parvo/distemper booster shot before during so.

This warranty does not cover skin/food/environmental allergies. We have no control of the area your pup may be in, food you choose to feed your pup or the environmental factors that may trigger allergies. Allergies in dogs (like people) can develop at any time especially after vaccinations. This warranty does not cover cosmetic teeth/bite issues such as an under-bite or baseline narrow canines. These are recessive genes that are common to our breed and cannot be tested for prior to breeding.
This warranty applies only to the original buyer. If ownership of the dog is transferred, warranty becomes null and void. Because dogs are not to be rehomed without knowledge to the Breeder at any age. We do not want any of our dogs ever going to a rescue or shelter, but rather returned to us for evaluation and proper rehoming.
Breeder agrees to accept return of dog at any time during the life of the dog for any reason. Purchaser agrees never to relinquish dog to a shelter and to contact Breeder immediately in the event that the dog needs to be rehomed.
​
Our Return/Rehome Policy
​
-
In the event that the Purchaser needs to immediately rehome the dog, Purchaser agrees to return the dog to the Breeder at Purchaser’s expense.
-
In the event that rehoming the dog is not an emergency situation, Purchaser agrees to keep the dog until the Breeder can find a new home for the dog. This is a much better situation for the dog, so that it only needs to make one transition.
-
If the dog is being returned within the first birth year, Breeder may refund all or a portion of puppy cost minus the non-refundable deposit. This will be determined on case by case basis. (Example: training needed, boarding, vet care, grooming etc..)
​
​
Our free 30-day insurance must be activated by the BUYER as a part of this warranty within the first 24 hours of leaving our premises to help cover the puppy during the first four weeks in a new home regardless of age.
