hi all, I have a question that I've wondered about and if you don't mind I would like to hear from as many of you as possible, about your warranty or guarantee (is there a difference Jac? :wink: )

I'll go first:
My contract states that I will replace a puppy with a puppy if there is a genetic health defect, such as Hip Dysplaysia. That's a pretty standard offer, and thank God I've never had to follow thru. But with how people love their pets, and with knowing someone who gave their puppy not one but 2 hip surgeries (1 on each hip) I have wondered about this.

What would be the difference in refunding the $$ if the family doesn't want to surrender their pet? What if they wanted the cash to place it towards the surgery? (Or whatever the ailment)

Thanks in advance to any of you who will reply.

I'm not sure I am following you, Wally....could you give more details for filling in the blanks on your question?
I don't think I know what you mean about certifying breeding stock.

I posted the original post that started the thread, and I chose BUSINESS ISSUES on purpose to discuss warranties with other breeders. An owner stepped in and started a ruckus, and I would think that the posts Linda deleted were relevant to that argument, and I support Linda deleting the mess. But I still appreciate being able to review other breeders' thoughts on replacing a dog vs. refunding the cost of that dog.
