| Do you Guarantee adults? I am wondering if any breeders offer a guarantee on adults placed, the same as puppies? One of the recent posts re length of guarantee got me to thinking about this....usually puppies are guaranteed for 2 years max. So if an adult is over 2 years old when placed, do you still offer a guarantee? |

| I haven't gotten to that point yet, and that's a good thing to think about... When I do get there I plan on placing my girls for little or nothing, and probably with close friends or family if possible. But I would still want a girl back, even if it was 5 or 6 years down the road, and they couldn't keep her. My babies can always come back to me if they need to. So I suppose the short answer is yes. |

And I could never get rid of one of my furbabys If the need to rehome , as I tell all my new families. If they cant find a great home within their family or friends I would ALWAYS take them and rehome them for them. I couldnt guarantee them as I dont know what health care they have gotten. But I'm sure it would be for little or no fee.

ok, let's say you have a little one with a slight heart murmur. So you decide you will keep him to see if it goes away. After a while it does, and then by the time you place him he is 1 1/2 year old. If you have a one year health guarantee, does it apply? This brings me to another question, does the guarantee apply from date of birth or date of sale? Or maybe this is the same question....hmmm....if it is date of birth, then there is no issue about the guarantee extending. Am I making any sense??? | |

This is great....I can't imagine a breeder refusing to take back a dog...although I know it happens. | |

| So far I haven't had to place a retired show/breeding dog. If the dog or bitch is in my showing/breeding program and is being retired any health issues would have shown itself already (most of the time). Hard to guarantee what will come with old age. All the tests have been run, Xrays have been done and the dog is healthy at age 5 you shouldn't have to worry about health issues. Just like when you purchased that puppy at 12 weeks that guarantee was for the first 1 to 3 years of it's life. Does that make sense? I have a 9 month old little girl that I have held on too and my guarantee for a 12 to 16 week old puppy is for 3 years so if I were to decide to place my 9 month old it would be until she was 3 years old but bear in mind she will have been spayed, health tested before she left my home. If any test were to come back abnormal or any health issue was present she would not leave my home or be placed (free) in a home that knew the situation and wanted to take on that responsibilty under a co-ownership so that I would be able to be involved in any decision that was made. I will always take back any yorkie I have sold or placed at any time at any age. They are still my responsiblity but I can only be responsible financially after I've done everything correctly and humanly possible up to a certain point. Once an adult leaves my home I can't guarantee something didn't happen once they've left because when they leave here they will be healthy or they wouldn't be have been in my breeding/showing program. I hope this made sense. Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |

So let's say you held on to that girl until she's 3 yrs old and then placed her for a fee....I am assuming that there would be no actual financial guarantee....but the buyer would know the test results, etc. so could have a good assurance that way. Is this how you would do it? | |

| I am nodding off while typing, so going to bed now. Didn't want you all to think I was running off in the middle of getting advice, but I simply cannot keep my eyes open. I'll be back tomorrow! Thanks! |
