Each puppy comes with a health guarantee against congenital defects until the age of 12 months.

The following are not covered in the health guarantee:

Retained puppy teeth: It is very common in small breeds that at about 6 months the vet may need to extract retained puppy teeth.  Malocclusions.

Collapsing Trachea: Small breeds may develop a peculiar cough, this is due to the Collapse of the tracheal rings, this seems to happen mostly when the dog is excited or over exerted,  it can be annoying to the owner but is rarely a health issue.

Hypoglycemia: this is a condition of low blood sugar  Literature will be provided, when pups get over exerted, chilled, forgetting to eat they can become Hypoglycemic, stiffness, listlessness, shocky, or seizurish can happen. This is something I can not guarantee will not happen and will not be responsible for the condition> See provided literature.

Pet size: when buying a puppy as a pet I do not guarantee size; I breed to the AKC standard as closely as possible.  I do not breed very small chihuahuas on purpose.  The very tiny ones tend to have more health issues.

Molera: this is a soft spot that can be present on a Chihuahua, sometimes they close up and other times it can be there for life, take precaution to not let the chihuahua hit their head.  This should not be considered a flaw.

Luxating Patellas: Every effort has been made to prevent this problem using only dam and sires that are free from luxation (slipping knee caps), thus preventing passing the problem on genetically.  However sometimes this problem can be caused by trauma, jumping up and down excessively, jumping off furniture etc. If this is detected by the vet in puppy checks the prospective new owners will be informed ahead of time.

Coccidia/Giardia:  many pups are prone to an out break of Coccidia or Giardia. Under stressful circumstances. These symptoms can arise in a 12 hour period and can not always be prevented by the seller, the seller makes sure that before pup is shipped or placed that the pup is parasite free, sometimes if there is stress the immune system drops he or she can contract an intestinal upset and if the pup is vomiting, unusual stool or lack of appetite take pup to the vet.  Low Sodium Chicken broth can help as well

Hernias: of any kind
