If the condition is left untreated by the new owner I don't think it would be the breeder's responsibility to replace or refund the money. This is where a relationship with the breeder comes in to play. The relationship with the breeder shouldn't end when you walk out the door with your puppy. Your breeder should go over the possibility of certain things that can happen after the pup has left their home. A contract should be in place stipulating that the pup be examined by a vet within a certain amount of time. Also, frequent phone calls between the new family and breeder during the first week or so after the transition.
