Health Guarantee

Our top priority is to produce healthy dogs. We know Bulldogs come with certain breed specific health conditions such as: cherry eye, mild hip dysplasia, heat intolerance, entropion/ectropion, allergies/skin allergies, stenotic nares, etc. Buyer agrees to accept responsibility for breed specific health conditions that are not life threatening and are treatable.

Conditions that are covered in this guarantee include but are not limited to; severe hip dysplasia, tracheal atresia, or heart defect. Legacy Bullies will not be responsible for any acquired vet bills in relation to the care of dog/puppy. Legacy Bullies offers a one-year health guarantee from the date of birth. Puppies who have been exposed to contagious diseases are not covered in this guarantee; puppies injured via neglect or carelessness, or ignorance are also excluded from this guarantee.

Again, certain breed specific conditions such as, cherry eye, mild hip dysplasia, heat intolerance, entropion/ectropion, allergies/skin allergies, stenotic nares, etc. are not covered by this health guarantee.
