I agree with "Onlypoodles " ! It all depends on the integrity of a breeder and the way contract is made and "spelled" out can tell A LOT about that integrity.
Good contract goes IN DETAIL about different scenarios and options and sounds fair to a buyer.
In CA it is law binding document - so it is not even the question would breeder "follow " the agreement ! He/she has to !
Yes, the warranty is just a warranty - things can go wrong and we can decide to keep a sick dog anyway - but when a breeder stands behind their dogs strongly - that is a warranty that he/she did everything possible that was in her power to ensure puppy's good health and temperament. All else is in god's hands , as it is all in this life in general.
