Anyway, that is what it says. If you have a problem with that clause - then DON'T buy a dog from me.
The next part says:
Furthermore, said dog is guaranteed against any congenital disease that proves fatal within 2 years from the date of
purchase. Upon presentation of a copy of the veterinarian certified autopsy report stating cause of death as being solely
congenital, said dog will be replaced with a similar quality dog as soon as possible by. There will be no money refunded.
What other congenital problems are we talking about that I need to worry about? Cause, in 25 yrs, I've not encountered them. Is it because I am breeding superior quality dogs that have the full backing of my vet (who is a specialst and who, himself, bought a Yorkie from me), that I am not seeing the problems you may refer to? Hmmm...if it is, then I think that speaks for itself.

Understand this …I am not attacking you.
I personally don't know you or ever had any dealing with you.
I did state you have nice dogs.
But, I would not be interested in buying a dog with a contract written the way it is.
I am however a little leery of any breeder who has been breeding for 25 years who states they have never had a problem ???.
Show breeders sometimes hide problems in their lines.
I think we all know the famous dog who has produced many progeny with shunt problems.
I have spoken to many show breeders,
From what they have stated about what goes on behind closed doors, would curl most people’s hair.
