Health Guarantee We guarantee this puppy to be in good health at the time of the sale. The buyer has 5 days to take the puppy to their veterinarian. If the buyer is not satisfied with their new puppy it can be returned within one week, at the buyer's expense, for a replacement puppy of equal value or the full refund of the purchase price. Replacement Puppy Warranty A&W Goldens, the breeder, warranties this puppy against hip dysplasia and hereditary eye disease for the first two years of age that causes the dog to be nonfunctional or unbreedable. The warranty only applies if x-rays are taken before the dog reaches 26 months of age and evaluated by OFA. No dog over 26 months of age will be covered. We will only honor OFA readings. If they diagnose that the dog is dysplasia then the buyer will qualify for a replacement puppy. If the puppy has been bred before the x-rays have been evaluated by OFA, this portion of the warranty is Null and Void. The puppy buyer must send “A&W Goldens”, documents from OFA stating that the dog has dysplasia and copies of the x-rays. The seller may require the affected dog to be returned to “A&W Goldens” and MUST be returned in good order and health, or require additional evaluations of the seller's choosing. At that time the breeder will consider replacement options: Ranging, but not guaranteeing, from a full or partial refund or new puppy of like quality (when available). If the owner of the dysplasia dog does not want to deal with the dog it may be returned to the breeder. Hereditary eye disease that causes the dog to be nonfunctional or unbreedable: The dog must be examined by a certified veterinarian ophthalmologist by 26 months of age. No dog over 26 months is covered. Puppy buyers must provide “A&W Goldens”, with the exam results if there is a hereditary eye problem in order to qualify for a replacement puppy. The seller does not pay any veterinary fees, such as OFA, CERF, shipping of the puppy or dog or any other associated costs.
