Open Fontanel also known as a Molera (A soft spot on top of the head), this spot may or may not grow completely closed in the Chihuahua. It is not a genetic defect but a unique feature of the Chihuahua. We cannot guarantee sizes of adults: we give estimates based on size charts and previous litters of parents. Some Chihuahuas can just stop growing and others get larger than expected.

To qualify for the limited health guarantee, you must have your puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of your choice within 72 hrs of the date of receipt of the puppy. (Starts at shipping or time of pick-up) Loose stools can be caused by stress of traveling and change of diet. please remember to take a fecal sample with you to the vet to eliminate any and all parasite possibilities.
Should the puppy be diagnosed within 1 year of any congenital/hereditary disorders which is considered by two unassociated veterinarians to seriously impact the quality of life, short of euthanasia, or require continuous medical treatment throughout the course of the puppies life, we will provide the buyer with these options:
1. Should the buyer choose to keep the puppy and accept a partial refund, with the receipt of spay/neuter and return of AKC. papers, a refund of 50% of purchase price will be given less any shipping and vet. fees.
2. Should the buyer choose to give up ownership of the puppy to us, we will replace the puppy of equal value or refund the purchase price less any vet and shipping charges. AKC registration papers must be signed with a transfer to us.
3. For more severe cases, we will refund up to the purchase price of the dog, not to exceed veterinarian fees.
Size, color, and temperament of a puppy cannot be guaranteed.
When it comes to shipping your chihuahua to you, the seller (Wartenas Chihuahuas) is in no way responsible for the death or injury to the dog or loss of the dog during transport to its new home. The buyer will need to settle with the airlines or ground transport company. We do furnish insurance during a flight for loss or death due to injury. We do everything possible to make sure the pup has a safe journey.
As of April 2008 All puppies will be leaving with a sample bag of vitamins from Nu-Vet Labs. You will be required to carry on the administration of these vitamins for the term of this warranty. You must supply us with a receipt from Nu-Vet Labs of your purchase of these vitamins at time of picking up your puppy. Vitamins can be ordered at www.nuvet.com We use the powder form as it is easier to put on their wet food. They do come in wafer form and can be easily broken in half to even quarters. These wafers are chicken flavored and dogs love them! It is a small price to pay to keep your pup in tip top shape.
As of April 2008 All puppies will leave with a micro chip. Unfortunately we found a few of our puppies had been re-homed without our consent. Our sales contract states we get first right or refusal for the dog. This is to protect the dog for their entire life! So, we now will be micro chipping all our puppies and the micro chip will be registered to us. This will let us track the dog their whole life. We will remain "First contact" on the micro chip with you being secondary. IF any animal shelter ever calls us with one of our puppies being turned in, we will sue to the fullest extent of the law. It is very important when purchasing a dog you realize this is a long commitment up to 20 years. It is not fair to the dog to love a family unconditionally then be ripped away like a piece of furniture. If at any time you cannot care for the dog, you must let us know. We totally understand things happen in life and situations change and we are more then willing to help rehome our puppies. IF you do have to place your dog and feel you have found a wonderful home to rehome them to, we will need a sales contract from the new owners so we can change the "secondary" micro chip information.
