Life threatening genetic defects are usually guaranteed from 1-5 years, dependent on the breeder....As shunt can rear it's ugly head early on or as late as 5 years ...Reputable breeders will most likely refund the money in hopes that it will assit in care and/or surgery of the pup.
When drafting my contract, I put the health and welfare of the pup as my first priority. |
I like the fact that reputable breeders are likely to refund the money to help cover the costs of surgery...My yorkie is a liver shunt doggie. I would not want to get a replacement puppy just because my dog has liver shunt. I would never be able to give him back simply because he has a medical condition. He's my baby...
