Hereditary Defect Guarantee
Kristy Pedersen, owner and breeder of Emerald Valley Shelties, has researched to the best of her ability, the pedigrees of the dogs involved in each breeding. With the hopes of producing structurally, genetically and temperamentally sound puppies.. All of our breeding animals are tested for Von Willebrand’s Disease and bred accordingly as to not produce an affected offspring. We also x-ray hips at one year and always prior to being bred. With OFA certification being done at the age of two. Thyroid testing is done at one year and periodically throughout the lives of our breeding animals. We also do eye checks prior to one year and every other year after. These checks are done by a certified ophthalmologist.
In the case where an hereditary defect is suspected or manifests, the pet owner/buyer must have a letter sent to Emerald Valley, by a reputable Veterinarian stating the hereditary defect that is suspected and what course of treatment is recommended. This documentation must be sent to Emerald Valley prior to any treatment being performed. The pet owner is responsible for any testing in order to properly diagnose the health problem. It is Emerald Valley’s right to ask for a second opinion, and this will be at the expense of the pet owner. The choice of the Vet will be of Emerald Valley’s choosing in a location that is reasonably convenient to the location of the pet and owner.
