A great deal of time and effort has gone into producing a puppy for you. A copy of each of the parent’s clearances are included in your puppy package so confirming that all clearances were done and they have achieved all the results necessary to produce a quality puppy. These clearances are also listed on OFA.org incase you need them in the future. We take great steps to ensure every puppy is well socialised, adhering to the breed standard, so you can enjoy a new family member for many, many years. It is with this in mind that we outline the guarantee for our dogs.

First and Foremost, we INSIST that IF it ever becomes impossible for you to keep your dog, that it is returned to us immediately….Shipped COD if necessary. This dog is NOT to be re-sold, or given away to anyone, organisation, puppy mill, back yard breeder, pet store, rescue group, Humane Society, wholesaler or donated for any type of auction. Please contact us and let us know that the dog is coming so we can make arrangements to pick it up, house it, and have it vet checked before we bring it home, ensuring its shots are current before exposing it to our dogs.

We are placing the puppy with you, with the understanding that is it becoming a member of your family. It will NOT be left chained outside or kennelled out doors, but living IN your home WITH you. We also want to make sure that the dog is not running at large or in a position to be attacked by another animal or hit by a vehicle.

We want to impress upon you that your dog COUNTS on you to take care of his/her basic needs, housing, feeding, grooming, regular vet checks, and training classes to ensure your puppy is properly socialised. To neglect ANY of these areas is to abuse your dog and I will come and remove the dog from your home. I hope that this never becomes necessary, as I feel I have screened all the puppy buyers thoroughly and that should not be a problem. That being said, it is my intention to be a source of help and information as your puppy grows, but if it becomes apparent that the dogs’ basic needs are not being met, I must put the dog’s needs first, since I am responsible for bringing them into the world and placing them in your home. To me, this is a huge undertaking, which I take very seriously until the dog dies.

Hip Dysplasia is a problem that plagues our breed, and although we have selected breeding stock that is free from any problems and rate a FAIR, GOOD, OR EXCELLENT from OFA, it is still possible that it may occur. To prevent this from happening, there are several things YOU, the pet owner can do :

Never allow your dog to become overweight/ obese
Do not engage in any jumping activities ( fly ball, dock diving, over exercise - running behind a bike running on a leash, walking too far, etc) until the puppy has reached 18+ months of age
Never allow your dog to ride loose int he back of an open back truck
Feed a quality Large Breed Puppy/ Dog Food to ensure they grow into their body slowly, thus reducing the chance of hip/joint problems. We have sent your puppy home with a sample of the food they were raised on, if it is necessary to change that, we are here to help and can provide other quality options. It has become a concern that some golden retrievers diets, do not provide enough Taurine for them and this can lead to health problems in your pet. When checking the ingredients, it can be helpful to include one that has added Taurine.

If the puppy were to develop a SEVERE hip dysplasia, we require a copy of the diagnosis from a certified radiologist along with a statement from the vet that he/she found the puppy in good physical condition. ( Refer to above - the dog should NEVER be overweight /obese condition as this will void your warranty with us) We will replace the puppy with the next suitable litter, at that time, the effected dog will need to be transferred to our care and we will take care of his/her needs as they arise. IF you want to retain the puppy, and opt to care for it yourself, other arrangements can be made to ensure you are compensated up to HALF of the purchase price of the dog with SEVERE cases of Hip Dysplasia ONLY. ( requiring surgery ) IF the puppy is found to have a MILD or MODERATE form of Hip Dysplasia, we will not replace the puppy. MILD and MODERATE cases, with proper vet care, diet, your dog should be able to live a long life with some modifications to their daily routine, supplements and possibly medication.

The puppy comes to you after receiving a complete vet check and initial age appropriate vaccinations and deworming protocol. IF you think the puppy is not in good health when you receive him/her please take him/her to YOUR vet WITHIN 48 HOURS and contact us immediately if the pup is found to have a contagious condition that they may have had while here at our home. This is important for several reason, one to protect you ( to not void your warranty ), to ensure he puppy is treated promptly ( there fore having the best chance for a successful treatment ) and ensure that if the condition was present while the pup was her that we can contact the other owners incase it is necessary for their pup to seek treatment as well.

Your puppy is being sold to you, with a Canadian Kennel Club ( CKC) registration and on a CKC Non-Breeding Agreement. It is essential that it it followed to the letter, IF you have purchased a puppy as a “SHOW POTENTIAL” the Non-Breeding Agreement can be lifted once the dog/bitch has had 1) hip and elbow X-rays done with certification from a recognised board certified radiologist at 24 + months of age ( OFA certification date) and passed both. 2) the dog /bitch has been certified by a registered Ophthalmologist stating they are free from ANY/ALL genetic problems or have a Breeder Option 3) The dog/ bitch is certified clear from SAS and other genetic heart conditions by a Board Certified Cardiologist 4) The dog /bitch meet the breed standard for Golden Retrievers as outlined in the Golden Retriever Club of Canada ( GRCC ) breed standard - photos showing the structure of the dog /bitch standing, front, rear. Head shots and side view are required and can be sent with the copies of the clearances above to our email address at ybfgoldens@yahoo.com 5) The dog/ bitch has obtained a CKC Championship ( in some cases this last condition could be waved but the conditions under which this will be changed need to be discussed in advance with us )

IF I find that you have NOT followed the CKC Non-Breeding Agreement and have bred your dog : this also includes : allowing your intact dog to be bred, arranging to breed your dog with a Registered or Non- Registered dog intentionally, or allowing your intact dog run at large etc - without following the previous guidelines, a $5000 fine will be imposed. It is out intention to prevent any dog from our breeding program ending up in a puppy mill, back yard breeding program, or supplier to a pet shop or pet wholesaler, or unwanted at a Humane Society or Rescue Group.
