Most buyers will opt to keep the pup and therefore will not get the replacement of a healthy pup. (The unintended "loop hole". If the buyer has the option of keeping the pup they will more likely contact the breeder if there is a serious problem for a healthy pup and the sick pup will still be in a loving home with the ones that have fallen in love with him. I would not at all knock you for your warranty as we know, alot of breeders give no warranty at all, but I have read a lot of post on this forum and others and see that almost everytime the buyer elects to keep the sick pup, which nullifies the warranty.

That absolutely is already in my contract...they do have that option and receiving monetary compensation instead of another pup...it is further down on the health guarantee section. Given the right situation I would also be inclined to offer the buyer a second pup AND allowing them to keep the first. It would really depend on what they wanted to do. I believe in doing whatever is right for the buyer...I stand behind my pups 100% and will do whatever I have to do to make it right. The reason I even offer a replacement pup at all is because there may be someone out there that would not be able to afford the medical treatment or for other personal reasons wouldn't WANT to keep the puppy...or if sadly the puppy were to die. Then I would want that option to be there as well. I would never make someone give up a puppy that they didn't want to.

I think you are right and that IS why some breeders put that the only option is to give up the pup and get another...because they know that there is only a slight chance they will ever give it up once they are attached...and that is not right.

I missed it on the first reading, the font you used on your site is very dyslexic unfriendly. I agree, it is awful how breeders will use the "loop hole" just to avoid having to replace or refund on a pup that is sick. I have chosen to replace the pup and allow the buyer to keep or return the pup that is affected, giving them the healthy pup that they origianally intented to buy and allowing them to keep the pup they love if they want. Thanks to God, I have not had anyone that I placed a pup with have a problem, but I breed very very little. All we can do is continue to educate each other and keep trying to do the right thing by our dogs, their new owners, and ourselves.

Nicki has three of my babies ( Tucker, Madison and BreyLee ) and I wouldn't hessitate to send her another one because I know the kind of love and attention to health and well being they get. Just as well I would not hessitate to bring one of her puppies into my home or breeding program. As for the contract part of this topic I think just about every reputable breeder covers major problems. But even I limit LP problems to grade 4 as in my opinion nine times out of ten LP's of this grade turn out to be genetic. We all know how puppies like to rough house and little things like jumping or even just slipping on a tile or wood floor can cause damage to the knees. If you should decide to adopt one of Nickie's babies I'm sure you will be very happy and will have a fur baby that will bring you much happiness and many smiles.
