I've come across genetic guarantees written like this....
I WILL GUARANTEE THIS PUPPY TO BE FREE FROM LIFE THREATENING
NON-TREATABLE CONGENITAL OR GENETIC DEFECTS ONLY, FOR ONE YEAR. THIS GUARANTEE IS FOR REPLACEMENT ONLY.
Maybe I'm reading it incorrectly...but it sounds like no guarantee at all. Many congenital or genetic defects ARE treatable...but whether the puppy survives is another story. Liver shunt is
treatable, congenital heart disease is
treatable...
Another wording I see.... puppy to be free from congenital or genetic defects that IF left
untreated would result in death. That makes more sense to me than the statement above....
