Rainmaker Labs, LLC Genetic Health Guarantee
Until 26 months of age, Rainmaker Labs, LLC guarantees your
puppy will achieve an OFA hip rating of fair or better and normal
elbows. Hips/elbows must be x-rayed by a veterinarian according to
OFA guidelines and the films submitted to the OFA. A copy of the
films and OFA report must be provided to Rainmaker Labs, LLC on
or before the dog reaches 26 months of age. For bitches,
radiographs must not be taken within 30 days before or after her
heat cycle.
Your Rainmaker puppy's eyes are guaranteed clear of genetic
defects as determined by CERF. Exam must be performed by a
certified veterinarian ophthalmologist according to CERF standards
and proof thereof supplied to Rainmaker Labs, LLC on or before the
dog reaches 26 months of age.
Other requirements to qualify for a replacement puppy should the
eyes/hips/elbows not receive an OFA/CERF clearance of normal are:
1. The puppy must have been fed a good quality puppy food in
the manufacturer's recommended amounts, until at least 12 months
of age and be determined by a veterinarian not to be obese or
otherwise improperly fed. Supplements are highly discouraged as
they may lead to too rapid and/or unhealthy growth and place undue
stress on bones and joints.
2. The name Rainmaker must be used in the dog's name when
registering the dog with the AKC.
3. If the dog is not being returned to Rainmaker Labs, LLC, said
dog must be spayed or neutered at the owner's expense and proof
from the veterinarian performing the procedure must be provided to
Rainmaker Labs, LLC.
4. The dog must not have ever whelped/sired a litter.
5. OFA/CERF exams must show no evidence of any
acute/traumatic injury to the hip/elbow/eye at issue which may have
negatively affected the rating.
A replacement puppy of equal quality will be provided at the earliest
date such puppy is whelped and available. The original puppy may
stay with you and need not be returned to Rainmaker Labs, LLC.
Buyer is responsible for all charges incurred for shipment of the
puppy/dog, if applicable. Should the situation arise that the buyer
cannot keep the dog, up until 24 months of age, Rainmaker Labs,
LLC will make all reasonable efforts to help the buyer place the dog
in another home and may, without compensation to the buyer, take
the dog back at its discretion.
