The dog described above is unconditionally guaranteed by the breeder to have, throughout its life, the sweet disposition towards humans that is the hallmark of the breed.

If the dog is found to have a temperament problem at any time, it will be replaced by a pup from a litter of the purchaser's choosing. The replacement dog will have a guarantee at least as good as that of the original dog.

For replacement, the original dog must be returned to the breeder with all the necessary papers signed as soon as practical.

The dog described above is guaranteed until it is three years of age against all genetic and congenital defects that would render it functionally unsound. Functionally unsound means that the dog has a physical problem that impairs its ability to function as a normal healthy pet and/or of doing the traditional work of a Newfoundland, i.e. draft and water rescue work. Should such a problem arise, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to notify the breeder as soon as possible and within the period of the guarantee.

If the dog is found to be functionally unsound before the end of the guarantee period, it will be replaced by a pup from a litter of the purchaser's choosing. The replacement dog will have a guarantee at least as good as that of the original dog.

For replacement, the original dog must be returned to the breeder as soon as practical with all necessary papers signed or certification must be supplied by a Veterinarian that the dog died from a genetic or congenital cause.

The purchaser is responsible for providing proper care for the dog, especially for diet (Purina Pro Plan Performance) and kennelling as per the breeder’s instructions. Failure to follow the breeder’s instructions for the management of the dog may result in partial or complete voiding of the guarantee. Receipts for the feed should be retained as proof of meeting this requirement.

The dog described above is guaranteed to live a minimum of ten years unless death is caused by a preventable cause or if the purchaser did not follow the diet and kennelling instructions of the breeder.

Preventable causes of death include but are not limited to:

- accidents (eg. motor vehicle accidents),

- poisoning (deliberate or accidental),

- attack by an animal or person, and

- lack of recommended preventative veterinary care.

If the dog dies before ten years of age from a non-preventable cause, the breeder will credit the purchaser with a pro-rated discount on the purchase of a subsequent dog.

If the purchaser is unable/unwilling to keep/care for the dog for any reason, the dog is to be returned to the breeder with all necessary papers signed. If the dog has been cared for up to the date of return according to the breeder’s instructions, the breeder will credit the purchaser with a pro-rated discount on the purchase of a dog at a later time
