Our Health Guarantee

Seller's Responsibility:

1. Forget Me Not Golden Retrievers (FMNGR) guarantees the puppy is in good health, has had its first round of immunizations, and has been dewormed, at the time the buyer takes possession.

2. FMNGR provides this warranty for one year after the date of sale against any debilitating congenital defects. In the event the puppy exhibits symptoms of a suspected debilitating congenital defect, the buyer must supply any requested veterinary records to the seller within seven days of informing the seller of the defect. FMNGR has the right to require a second opinion from a veterinarian of the seller’s choice at the seller’s expense. If the puppy is euthanized or in any way disposed of, without a second opinion from the seller’s veterinarian, the buyer waives all rights to a replacement puppy.

3. This warranty does not include viral illnesses, infections, improper bites, hernias, hypoglycemia, parasites, Giardia or Coccidiosis. It also does not include any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals or physical injury.

4. If it is determined the puppy does have a debilitating genetic disorder that is identified within one year of purchase, the buyer has the option of a replacement puppy from the next available litter or a refund of purchase price up to the original fee to cover medical expenses. Your puppy need not be returned to us provided there is documented support of medical condition. Shipping fees will not be refunded, and if it becomes necessary to ship a replacement puppy, those fees are to be paid by the buyer.

5. If the puppy should die from a suspected congenital defect within the 12 months of its date of purchase, an autopsy must be performed at the buyer’s expense by a licensed veterinarian acceptable to the seller’s own veterinarian. If the autopsy shows a congenital defect as the reason for the death, the seller will provide another puppy of equal value to the buyer. A written statement from the Veterinarian must be provided. This warranty is void in the event of an indeterminate or inconclusive diagnosis.

6. FMNGR does not guarantee the size or color of the puppy. We also do not sell our puppies for breeding purposes and therefore do not guarantee fertility.

7. No warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, are made under this contract except as stated.

8. This warranty is non-transferable.

7. The seller highly recommends providing basic obedience training with their Golden Retriever puppy within the first year of owning their dog.
