Just a little legal perspective to add:
If you sell your puppies for over $500, you need to have a written contract to avoid the Statute of Frauds. Otherwise, things could be interpreted against you or you could end up with no "contract" at all.
Then a court would be free to determine what the intent of the parties is, and it becomes a "he said/she said" situation. Most of these claims can be brought in small claims court, so it doesn't take much to get it before the court.
Finally, if you do draft a contract be very specific with the language you use and who is to be responsible for what. All of the terms will be construed "against" you and in favor of the buyer, because you drafted the contract and are presumed to be the person with the most knowledge in this situation.
I'd be careful about lifetime guarantees, personally.
