While we have carefully screened all breeding stock for genetic conditions, the environmental and/or hereditary causes of diseases such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cataracts, pigmentary uveitis, SAS, epilepsy, thyroid, vWD, cancers and other disease make any guarantees impossible. Southstar Golden Retrievers warranties our puppies against defects that limit the dog to fulfill the purpose for which he or she was purchased. If genetic disease hinders one of our dogs from fulfilling that purpose, we will reimburse the owner one half of the purchase price or offer a puppy from a future breeding at half the purchase price. Neither of these options require the owner to return their dog to us, unless they choose to.
Contracts and warranties are emailed to potential buyers after puppy applications are accepted for our buyers’ review.
