DKV Rottweilers Health Guarantees

Veterinary Health at Time of Placement

‍

Every puppy is evaluated prior to placement to ensure it is healthy and ready for transition into the home.

‍

• Examined by a licensed veterinarian prior to placement
• Health certificate issued before transfer
• Cleared for heart, parasite, and overall physical condition
• Any known health concerns disclosed prior to placement

‍

24-Month Genetic Health Protection

‍

DKV Rottweilers provides structured genetic protection for Rottweiler puppies, focused specifically on true hereditary conditions.

‍

• Coverage for specific genetic conditions outlined in the agreement
• Applies only to verified, medically documented conditions
• Designed to cover true genetic defects—not normal development or environment

‍

Congenital Heart Defect Guarantee

‍

This guarantee is structured to address severe, verified cardiac conditions only.

‍

• Coverage up to 24 months if condition results in early death
• Must be confirmed by a certified veterinary cardiac specialist
• Requires full diagnostic testing and complete medical documentation

‍

Hip Health Guarantee (Conditional)

‍

Hip guarantees are structured based on breeding conditions and verified evaluations.

‍

• Applies only if a parent does not have certified hips at time of breeding
• Requires 10–12 month preliminary evaluation
• Requires 24-month final certification
• If criteria are met and confirmed, a partial program credit is issued

‍

Replacement / Credit Guarantee Structure

‍

All guarantees within the DKV Rottweilers program are fulfilled through structured credit—not refunds.

‍

• Credit issued toward a future Rottweiler puppy
• Credit value depends on the specific guarantee
• Replacement puppies are equal in quality (as determined by breeder)
• Fulfilled from a future litter within a defined timeframe

‍

No Refund Policy (Program Standard)

‍

DKV Rottweilers does not offer monetary refunds at any time.

‍

This policy ensures consistency across all placements and maintains the long-term integrity of the program for families receiving Rottweiler puppies.

‍

What Is Not Covered

‍

As with any Rottweiler breeder, guarantees must remain specific and realistic.

‍

• Injuries, accidents, or environmental factors
• Owner-influenced conditions (diet, exercise, training, flooring, etc.)
• Routine veterinary care or maintenance
• Cosmetic or non-health-related conditions

‍

Important Perspective on Health Guarantees

‍

Rottweilers are living animals, and no breeder can predict every possible outcome.

‍

The majority of long-term health is influenced by environment, care, and development. As an experienced German Rottweiler breeder, DKV Rottweilers structures guarantees to cover true genetic concerns, not to replace responsible ownership.

‍

Our guarantees are designed to stand behind the Rottweiler puppies we produce while maintaining clarity, accountability, and realistic expectations.
