PUPPY PURCHASE TERMS
Deposits and Payments
A deposit of $1,000 is required to reserve a Full Flex Frenchies puppy. All deposits are non-refundable and are applied toward the total purchase price. The remaining balance is due at the time of pick up. Full Flex Frenchies accepts Zelle or bank wire transfer for final payment.
Puppy Release Timeframe
Puppies are released to their new homes between 8 and 12 weeks of age, depending on their development, weight, temperament, and overall readiness. Full Flex Frenchies determines the safest release age for each individual puppy.
Health and Veterinary Care Prior to Pick Up
Every puppy receives:
- A full physical examination from a licensed veterinarian
- Age-appropriate vaccinations
- Routine parasite prevention
- A state-issued health certificate if required
A copy of the veterinarian’s findings will be provided at pick up. After the puppy leaves our care, all veterinary expenses become the responsibility of the buyer.
Health Guarantee
Full Flex Frenchies provides a 12-month health guarantee covering life-threatening congenital or hereditary defects of the heart, liver, kidneys, spine, or pancreas, as well as severe hip dysplasia requiring surgical correction. The puppy must not be more than five pounds overweight as determined by a licensed veterinarian.
If a life-threatening issue is diagnosed within the first 12 months:
- A detailed report from the examining veterinarian must be emailed to Full Flex Frenchies within 48 hours.
- Full Flex Frenchies may seek review from another licensed veterinarian of their choosing.
- If the condition is confirmed to be genetic or congenital, the buyer will receive a replacement puppy of equal value from the next available litter.
There are no monetary refunds for health conditions, and veterinary bills are not reimbursed under any circumstance.
If the puppy dies within the guarantee period, a necropsy performed by a licensed veterinarian is required to determine cause of death. If the cause is confirmed as congenital, the replacement-puppy guarantee applies.
No replacement will be given if the puppy is euthanized without prior written approval from Full Flex Frenchies.
The guarantee becomes void if:
- The puppy has been injured due to accident or negligence
- Veterinary records are not supplied to Full Flex Frenchies within 7 days of the first wellness exam
- Ownership of the puppy has been transferred without the breeder’s written approval
- The puppy is bred without permission

Stress-related conditions that may appear after transitioning to a new home are also not covered.
Spay/Neuter and Breeding Restrictions
