The remaining balance is due when the puppy is six weeks old unless otherwise written. Puppies are reserved on a first come first deposit received basis and are considered sold when deposit is received.
  2. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges transports our own puppies by ground for an agreed price.
  3. Puppies that are transported are at risk for Coccidia, Kennel cough, and Girardia, which is common when dogs are transported. Other reasons these illnesses may transpire are by a new home, new food, new people, change of climate and surroundings, etc. Full recovery is expected and not life threatening. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges will not cover the treatment if any of these situations should arise.
  4. Buyer will pick up puppy by the time it is eight weeks old, or the puppy will be transported by the time it is eight weeks old. If 5 days go by with no attempt to make pick up arrangements, the buyer will forfeit the puppy, deposits, and payments made on puppy, unless other arrangements have been made with Mighty Michigan Bulldogges.

 Health Guarantee

  1. The purchaser agrees to take this puppy to a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 72 hours for a health check. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges should be informed immediately of the examination by mailing a signed statement stating the puppy/dog’s health and condition. Should the vet determine the dog to be unfit for purchase due to illness, disease, or congenital disorder, which the cause is clearly attributable to the seller, the buyer may return the puppy within 5 days to the seller at the buyer’s expense with the written diagnosis from the vet. The seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of comparable quality when available from the same litter if available or an upcoming litter. However, the specific puppy to be used as the replacement puppy will be chosen by Mighty Michigan Bulldogges, not the buyer. There is no replacement for Parvo. No monies will be refunded nor will the seller be held accountable for any vet bills. If puppy is not examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours after receival, all guarantees listed are not valid. Note: The seller reserves the right to return a cash refund instead of replacement should the seller decide that sending another puppy is not the best option.
  2. If the puppy is examined by two licensed veterinarians within the first 24 months of its life and found to have an untreatable genetic or congenital defect causing death or impairment of the vital functions of the puppy, the buyer has the option of returning the puppy for a replacement. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal value at our first opportunity provided the condition below is met and kept by the buyer. Any illnesses, conditions or defects caused by buyer’s neglect, abuse or mishandling are NOT covered by this health guarantee and a replacement puppy will not be given to the buyer. If the puppy is used in any form of illegal activity (i.e. Dog Fighting) or any extreme sports (i.e. weight pulling), or has been bred without documented breeding rights, this guarantee is null and void. Puppies/Dogs should not be over-fed and become obese as this will affect the their development, as well as being over-exercised before 18 months of age. We highly stress NO PUPPY FOOD to prevent the puppy from growing too quickly resulting in possible future joint and ligament injuries, including hip dysplasia. Walks should be consistent in frequency, with gradual build up. Should the owner decide not to follow these instructions, and the problem be deemed environmental, Mighty Michigan’s guarantee will become null and void. Under no condition will we give a cash refund.
  3. Breeding for health is one of our top priorities; however, we do not cover mange/demodex, entropian, distichiasis, or cherry eye.

Temperament

  1. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges acknowledges the puppy to be of sound and stable temperament at the time of purchase as described in the BBA and IOEBA standard for Olde English Bulldogges. Should the buyer question the temperament of the puppy, the buyer must notify the seller within 48 hours. After the selling and transferring ownership of the puppy has been made, training and behavior of the dog/puppy becomes the responsibility of the owner. Mighty Michigan Bulldogges is not responsible for any animal or person bitten or hurt by your puppy/dog.
