If, within the Examination Period, a licensed veterinarian finds the puppy/dog to be unhealthy or unfit for sale, the puppy/dog MUST be returned to The Breeder for a full refund of the Final Payment, if the Buyer elects to do so. The Buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy from a current or  future litter at no extra cost. The breeder guarantees and the buyer understands the above described dog to be healthy at the time of the sale, as proven by documentation of a licensed veterinarian.  If the Buyer does not wish to return the puppy to The Breeder, the Buyer can opt for a half refund of the Final Payment to assist with possible medical bills. The Breeder will not offer refunds or future payments beyond this.
