Morgan's Point Ranch Health Guarantee and Guidelines
Hips :
We guarantee your dog to be free of hip dysplasia per PENN hip guidelines. In order for this guarantee to be in effect, the dog must be x-rayed within first 24 months. If it is female, must not be x-rayed around her heat cycle, must be x-rayed by a radiologist who is certified for the PENN hip method. The dog must not have been bred or injured or the guarantee is nullified. If dog is certified to be dysplastic, the owner must submit a copy of the PENN hip report. Your dog's microchip number must be on file with us. Please submit proof that dog has been spayed or neutered.
Food: We recommend a high quality, scientifically formulated, balanced puppy food for the first year, such as Purina Pro Plan Puppy or Science Diet. We have tried many different products and keep coming back to Purina Pro Plan Sport for our adults, and Purina Pro Plan Focus Puppy for the puppies; they offer many choices: salmon, grain free, lamb.... The cost is a bit more, but typically the dog does not require as much and will be healthier in the long run. After one year of age, adjust the protein level of the well balanced food to the level of activity of the dog. It is important for your dog to keep a healthy weight for it's body structure. If you notice your dog becoming overweight it is your responsibility to cut the food a little and increase activity... just like children they rely on you to structure their lives, plenty of love (food is not always love)... time spent with them is the greatest gift of love you can give them, a regular feeding/potty schedule and time by themselves in a safe environment is important as well and DISCIPLINE early on. Discourage them from nipping, jumping and tearing things up right from the get go. Just like a child, if you wait too late to discipline you WILL have a troubled dog on your hands. Limit the "treats", a few pieces of their own food is a great reward. We try to not let our dogs jump down from the truck bed or from high places in the first year, this is hard on their developing joints... you will want to help ease them down... or if your dog is elderly, you will want to help them down as well to preserve the mobility.
We also supplement with NuVet Plus, a daily canine food supplement (more information to follow).
Eyes:
Eyes are guaranteed against Progressive retinal Atrophy, progressive Rod-cone degeneration (PRA-prcd).
Other Genetic Disorders:
For the first year of your puppy's life, we guarantee your pup to be free of any disease that is determined by agreement of your veterinarian (by examination) and ours (by description) to have a genetic cause.
This includes only those disorders which threaten the health of the dog...
This includes only those disorders which are 100% genetic...
This includes only those disorders where environmental factors can be completely ruled-out.
If a problem is covered by our guarantee: We, Jim and Andrea Morgan,
will replace the puppy with another pup from a similar breeding of our choosing, when available. Travel costs or shipping to return the dog are not covered.
Guarantee depends on positive Identification:
The guarantees above depend on being able to positively identify the dog. The guarantees above are not in effect unless your dog is micro chipped and his/her information is on file with us.
No dog will be guaranteed unless it carries the Morgan's PT or Morgan's Point prefix in it's AKC and/or UKC name and has not been transferred to a new owner.
The above guarantee is VOID if the dog has been bred.
We do not guarantee against worms and parasites. Our dogs are hunting dogs, athletes as well as human companions that like to swim in lakes and rivers, romp through the woods and fields, roll in, smell, taste and eat dead, foul smelling stuff , stuff left behind from deer, turkeys, cows, horses... you get the picture.... that being said, we have an aggressive ongoing deworming program for our adult dogs here at Morgan's Point Ranch, as well as for our new puppies. We alternate dewormers, using Fenbendazole and Pyrantel Pamoate. Puppies get dewormed every two weeks while with us, we require new owners to follow up with deworming with each set of new shots the puppy gets, and more often if they are exposed to stuff, use your good discretion. Our puppies and adults all receive a coccidiocide, (similar to Baycox), as they are exposed to all kinds of birds in training and in hunting. We expect you to have chosen a hunting/working dog friendly veterinarian prior to getting your puppy.
As a responsible new owner please make sure you have a secure fenced yard or kennel to run your dog, do not let them out unsupervised.
We strongly urge you to spay or neuter your new puppy by one year of age. Please respect our breeding program and do not breed unless you have permission and have paid for those breeding rights.
Breeding rights are obtained by special agreement only to certain established breeders that meet our qualifications with their breeding program. We have worked hard to build our program, we are small but we do take this seriously, please respect this.
If for any reason in the future you are not able to keep your Morgan's Point Lab, please contact us, as we appreciate the first opportunity for rehoming. We understand life changes and priorities change! Thank You!
