Re: Puppies with genetic problems - what do you do?
I mean genetics defects like hip dysplasia.
If a pup you sold was tested positive to have this, would you take the pup back?
No problem with the refund as it is all money. I am more concerned with the responsibility.
Are breeders willing to take a genetically defective pup back, raise and take responsibility of her for the rest of her life?
Breeders should right?

To all the ethical experienced breeders out there,
I have read somewhere and I am aware that even the most experienced breeders with the most cleared and certified dogs, somehow they will get to produce a dog or two with genetic defects.
Question is what do you do with these puppies? Do you take them back and give refund? Then what?
Can you be more specific about what genetic defects, what you test for and the age of the puppy?
If there is no test, or there is and you decided not to do it; then I would think a younger pup would be your responsibility. If it's a problem that can be environmental or genetic, you have no control over the situation after the puppy leaves you. Also, do you have a contract and guarantee?
