Disclaimer

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Please read this carefully. By accessing or using builtbybreed.com (the "Site"), you acknowledge and agree to everything below. This Disclaimer works together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

1. Educational content only — not professional advice

Everything on the Site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not veterinary, medical, nutritional, behavioral, or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for an in-person consultation with a licensed veterinarian or a qualified, credentialed dog-training or veterinary-behavior professional. Using the Site does not create any professional, veterinary, or client relationship between you and BuiltByBreed.

2. Medical issues come first

Many "behavior" problems have medical causes. This is especially true for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds and for conditions like intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Any sudden change in behavior, reluctance, pain, or worsening breathing is a reason to see your veterinarian before applying any training information. Heat, exertion, and breathing difficulty in flat-faced breeds can be medical emergencies — when in doubt, contact a vet or emergency clinic immediately. Never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read here.

3. No guarantee of results

Dogs are individuals. We make no guarantee that any method, protocol, schedule, or product described on the Site will produce a particular result for your dog. Outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including your dog's health, history, temperament, and how information is applied.

4. Assumption of risk

Training, handling, exercising, and equipping a dog carry inherent risks, including risk of injury to people and animals. You assume full responsibility and all risk for how you use any information or recommendation from the Site. Use your own judgment, prioritize your dog's wellbeing, and stop immediately if any activity causes distress, pain, or a safety concern.

5. How this content is created (transparency)

Our content is researched against a curated, citation-backed knowledge base and is produced with the assistance of AI tools, then screened for safety and for adherence to humane, force-free (LIMA) principles. Despite that care, content is generated and may contain errors, omissions, or information that is out of date or not right for your individual dog. We do not represent that any article has been individually reviewed or endorsed by a veterinarian or professional trainer. Always verify important decisions with a qualified professional.

6. Product recommendations & affiliate links

As an Amazon Associate, BuiltByBreed earns from qualifying purchases. The Site contains affiliate links, and if you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Product suggestions reflect our editorial opinion about what may suit a breed's documented needs — they are not paid placements, not guarantees of quality, safety, or results, and not a veterinary endorsement. Prices, availability, ratings, and details are set by Amazon and shown on Amazon at the time you click; always confirm a product fits your individual dog before buying.

7. Third-party sites

The Site links to third-party websites (such as Amazon). We do not control and are not responsible for their content, products, policies, or practices. Following an external link is at your own risk and subject to that site's terms.

8. "As is" — no warranties

The Site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available," with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or that content is error-free, current, or uninterrupted.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BuiltByBreed and its owners, operators, and contributors will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss or injury (to you, others, or any animal), arising from your access to, use of, or reliance on the Site, its content, or any product reached through it.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BuiltByBreed and its owners, operators, and contributors from any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site or your application of any information or recommendation found on it.

11. Acceptance & changes

By using the Site you accept this Disclaimer. We may update it at any time; continued use after a change means you accept the revised version. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision. This Disclaimer is governed by the same terms as our Terms of Use.
