This is true! There is a never a "guarantee" that they won't have a defect. The only guarantee is that the breeder agrees to compensate you somehow if it occurs. The breeders cannot prevent it even with DNA testing. The breeder may help pay some of the vet expense, may replace the puppy if it dies or may trade the "defective puppy" for one without the defect. Be careful of the last "guarantee" because most of us will have already become attached to the puppy and not be able to send it back.
