We CERF test our dogs for cataracts, despite this, it is possible  for a puppy to develop a cataract. We will replace a pup that goes blind due to juvenile cataracts within the first 2 years of life, although this is very rare. We cannot guarantee against cataracts because although we will only breed dogs whose CERF test has shown them to be clear of hereditary cataracts, there is no test for carrier dogs in this breed. No one has any way of knowing how many of their dogs may be carriers. We strive to be responsible in our breeding program by doing our testing, but due to the lack of a carrier test, we are unable to guarantee that no pup produced will ever develop a hereditary cataract. In most cases a pet buyer will never know if their pup gets a cataract. You cannot see it by looking at the dog and in most cases it comes on slowly, so if there is any vision loss, the dog sort of gradually adjusts to it. As a pet owner you won't see the cataract and in most cases will not see the effects. As long as the pup was not purchased for breeding, this condition usually has little effect on a pet owner. Therefore, we test out dogs and our guarantee will cover blindness that provably was brought on by a hereditary cataract within the first two years of life.Should this occur within the first 2 years of the pup’s life and be verified by two qualified vets that the pup has juvenile cataracts which lead to blindness, the pup will be exchanged for a puppy of the same sex and similar quality as determined by the seller, from the next available litter. All paperwork must be returned with the puppy and the vet exams are at the buyer’s expense as well as any transportation costs involved with returning the pup and receiving a new puppy.

We also replace a puppy if there is any congenital  defects that impair the quality of the dog’s life. This follows the same guidelines as stated above.  We do not cover hip dysplasia. Although we test our breeding stock through OFA. It is impossible to tell if hip dysplasia is hereditary or caused by the buyer and their environment or actions. If you feed a poor quality food, it may cause hip dysplasia. If someone slaps the butt on their pup when potty training, they could damage a hip. If a pup took a fall off a porch or tumbled down some steps, it could cause it. If you start training for sledding too early or in an improper manner, it could bring on hip dyspasia. A poor fitting harness while sledding, can also cause this as well as many other possibilities. So, while we do our testing to insure our part has been done, we cannot guarantee against hip dysplasia because we have no control over what a buyer may do after they get their pup home that could possibly promote hip dysplasia.We guarantee that the puppy you receive has had all vaccinations and de-wormings that are appropriate for it’s age at the time of sale. We also state that any pup sold, is in good health, to the best of our knowledge, at the time of sale.

     We state that the sire and dam of the pup you receive have no verified hereditary issues. Each puppy is socialized and we use neuro-stimulation techniques to help insure the best development for each puppy.

     Pups are held until 7 to 8 weeks of age to help them get the best start. They will have been wormed every 2 weeks and will have received their first 5-way vaccination before leaving.

     This guarantee does not cover ongoing routine vet care and such things as intestinal upsets or bacteria that may be brought on by the stress of a move or changes in food or environment. This may cause diarrhea, which is generally treatable with a week of medication.

     We also make a guarantee to each puppy that should the owner not be able to keep a dog purchased from us due to unforeseen circumstances such as health issues, death, divorce, sudden move etc., we will accept the dog back at any time during the life of the dog. We will attempt to re-home the dog for you and if that is not possible, we will take care of this dog until it passes away. We do not guarantee coat color, coat length or eye color. Generally speaking, eye color will be known at the time of placement. Some coat colors, we know will stay as seen at the time of placement, but some will change and we will give you our best opinion as to whether the coat will do any changing.  We do not breed specifically for eye color. We more gear our breeding to improvement in conformation and structure as well as temperament. However, we do not get offended by people requesting blue eyes. This is one of the attributes of a Siberian Husky that is somewhat unique to this breed and some people want a pet to love but have a coat or eye color preference. Accommodating this preference is usually fairly easy. We will do the best we can to make this purchase fun and to insure a good experience, both for you and your new puppy.
