At Pretty Dachshunds, the health and well-being of our puppies is our highest priority, and it is the foundation of our breeding program. This commitment extends to you, our extended family, through our robust and transparent Health Guarantee. This guarantee is designed to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your new companion has been bred with the utmost care for genetic health and vitality. We stand behind every puppy we place and have structured this guarantee to protect both you and your pet, reflecting our dedication to the betterment of the Dachshund breed.

Our guarantee specifically covers life-altering congenital and hereditary disorders for a period of two years from your puppy’s date of birth. This includes conditions such as severe Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), congenital heart defects, and other significant, genetically inherited illnesses as outlined in our detailed contract. Should such a condition be diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian within this timeframe, we will, at your option, provide a replacement puppy of equivalent value from the next available litter. This ensures that you are supported in the unlikely event of a serious health issue.

To keep this guarantee in effect, we require that all puppy owners adhere to specific and straightforward care requirements. These include maintaining your puppy on a recommended vaccination and deworming schedule, providing a high-quality diet, and ensuring they do not become overweight—a critical factor in protecting their long spinal health. Furthermore, the guarantee is voided if the puppy is rehomed or sold without our knowledge and consent. These conditions are not in place to be restrictive, but to ensure that every puppy we breed has the best possible chance at a long, healthy, and happy life in a stable and loving home.

Finally, our relationship with you does not end once you take your puppy home. We consider the Health Guarantee a formal extension of our ongoing support. We are always available as a resource for any questions or concerns you may have throughout your Dachshund’s life. Our goal is not simply to place a puppy, but to be a trusted partner in your journey as a pet owner, ensuring that your experience with Pretty Dachshunds is positive and secure from the very first day and for all the years to come.
