AKS Kennels (hereinafter "Seller", "we" or "us") breeds dogs that have undergone testing for hereditary conditions. Our dams and the sires used in our program are certified with an Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) hip rating of good or excellent, Canine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) eye rating of clear. We research the backgrounds of the sires we use and our own dams. We feel that by adhering to high standards we are reducing the risk of producing a defective pup or litter. 

NO puppy / dog is sold for any specific use or guaranty of performance, brood bitch (this includes inverted vulvas), stud dog (this includes undescending testicles) show dog, size / weight, looks or field trial / hunt test competitor. Our breedings are based on pedigree, health clearances and titles.

WE DO NOT BREED "SHOW LABRADOR RETRIEVERS" WE BREED "FEILD LABRADOR RETRIEVERS" OR KNOWN AS "AMERICAN LABRADORS" BRED FOR WORKING AND FAMILY COMPANIONS!

Unfortunately, hereditary conditions can remain hidden as unexpressed recessive genes for many generations. It is impossible to state that a puppy will be completely free of any or all hereditary congenital conditions. Therefore, we offer the attached warranty as recourse. 

The attached warranty is non-transferable and can only be enforced by the original Buyer, as listed on the AKS Kennels Puppy Sale Agreement, and only if this individual has owned the dog from the time it left Seller to the time the warranty is being enforced.
