This check-up ensures you that you received your puppy in good health. If your vet finds any life-altering congenital defect contact us immediately! We warranty against life-altering congenital defects determined by a licensed vet found at the time of the initial check-up.  If your vet determines that this is the case then Sunset Pocket Beagles will replace the dog with a puppy of the equal purchase value of the dog that was deemed to have the congenital defect. Sunset Pocket Beagles does not refund money. We do not reimburse for medical expenses or medication. Sunset Pocket Beagles will not validate a health agreement based on any Pet Store Chain or PetSmart check-up.

  • Do you offer breeding rights to your dogs?
    A: We currently do not offer breeding rights to our puppies. We require a Spay/Neuter contract when purchasing a dog. Breeding dogs requires a lot of education, time, and experience.
  • Do you allow Kennel Visitations?
    A: Due to the safety of our puppies that are not old enough for their shots, we do not allow visitations, I will however allow purchasers to come for a play date with only the puppy you purchased AFTER his/her first shot, this also depends if we have younger puppies in the kennel at the time as well.  People carry germs and diseases on their hands, clothing, and shoes. Traffic into our nursery subjects our babies (that are not old enough for shots) to these diseases. Many of these diseases can live on a surface undetected for months. Therefore, we cannot take the chance of allowing people to enter our facility and handle our puppies.  The safety of our babies comes first. 
  • Do you crossbreed your dogs?
    A: We are not affiliated with and DO NOT support anyone that crossbreeds a Pocket Beagle with any other breed of dog to create a “designer dog.
