Proof of examination must be provided along with a written diagnosis. Refund will be provided upon return of the puppy in question at Buyer’s expense and confirmation of diagnosis by Breeder’s vet. Puppy must be returned to the Breeder within 4 business days of the vet visit at the Buyer’s expense.
