[quote"Sorry OP if I'm hijacking your thread, but if I was a puppy buyer, I'd want to know the answer to that question. Yes I have a yorkie, but he didn't come with a contract. Plus, I don't think being refunded the purchase price of my dog would help with any finances anyway. I didn't pay much anyway.

No problem, we are all here to learn and ask questions anyway!
Thanks for all who have taken the time to answer. The contract IMO does not have to be word for word perfect and offer to pay back all money spent on vet visits, meds, etc. etc. etc. As long as the breeder seems respectable, raises the pups properly, cares for the babies and makes every effort to help I am not going to be to particular on the fine print.
Nobody, I don't care who you are, can prevent or promise a puppy will not develope some type of disease or sickness 100%. I would not spend the money on a puppy if I didn't not have the money to spend on one...all this talk of money IMO doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to me, I just want a healthy happy baby regardless of whether they come with a money back guarantee! It's a living breathing being, not a pair of shoes.
Obviously I would not purchase from a breeder who has a history of sick puppies or does not have them vet checked, UTD on shots, wormings etc. I will be checking references, the home where the puppies are raised, speaking with their vet, seeeing the puppies parents etc.
I am just looking for a companion and furbaby to love, not a guarantee that the dog is going to be an absolute perfect specimen of the breed.
