A German Shorthaired Pointer trained at Tom Creek Kennels

Tom Creek Kennels Guarantee

100% guaranteed from nose to tail and everything in between. All our German Shorthaired Pointer puppies and gun dogs are guaranteed to be physically healthy at time of delivery. All shots and worming will be up to date. We will guarantee the hips to be rated as fair, good or excellent in an official O.F.A. licensed X-Ray procedure. This must not be done before the dog reaches 24 months of age and can not be done after 26 months of age. Our guarantee also covers any other diagnosed genetic defects, detected by the age of 26 months.

All my German Shorthaired Pointers are guaranteed to perform as advertised. As long as these steps are followed: when you get a started or finished gun dog from me, you must socialize the dog with yourself and the terrain that you will be hunting in, if different than Iowa. Work on the commands I send you, so the dog can get familiar with your voice and movements. This should be done over a two week period. Note: Young started dogs may take longer to adapt to new terrain and weather conditions, as it's a new learning experience for them. Please do not expect a young gun dog to hunt all day non-stop.

The guarantee will be voided if:

  • If the hip dysphasia is due to an injury, This will be determined by my veterinarian.
  • If you take your gun dog from the plane or my facility, right to the bird field without socializing him and then tell me he doesn't hunt.
  • If dogs are improperly handled, trained or abused.
