One thing I don't understand on some guarantees is only giving a certain amount of time for a Vet Check. Babies are stressed by a new environment, and then quickly taken to the Vet for more stress. Babies should be Vet checked by the Breeder, and the buyer should be able to trust the baby to be healthy. If we guarantee, then why the hurry for the new owner to get a Vet check or risk voiding the contact?? Shouldn't we just plain and simple guarantee? I refuse to purchase from anyone that requires me to Vet check say within 48 hours... If we don't trust a new owner for longer than that, then we shouldn't be selling a baby to them in the 1st place. And a new owner should be able to trust us that their baby is healthy and guaranteed.
And another thing I dislike on some guarantees; why expect the new owner to pay to ship a sick dog back, and then pay to have the replacement pup shipped, if something were wrong with the pup that required replacing?? Why should the new owner be punished and have to pay shipping when it was our responsiblilty to send a healthy pup in the 1st place. IMO it seems like a way for some breeders to get away from their guarantee, since who would want to risk paying 100's of more dollars to ship back and then again to ship a replacement puppy when they didn't get a healthy pup the 1st time.
In my guarantee, I guarantee life threatening defects, luxating patellas and leg perthes for 1 year. If you should decide to keep a pup then I would refund on a case by case basis. If a pup were ever needed to be shipped back, then I would pay the shipping, as well as the shipping to replace a pup. It just seems right to me, since we do guarantee our babies. JMO of course..
