I always guarantee and have refunded in the past the full purchase price if at any time in the dogs life..be it 10 months or 10 years old, the person cannot keep or does not want the dog anymore. If feel that I am responsible for bringing the dog into the world, and I am also responsible for making sure they do not die at the hands of animal control. That being said, I also do not breed very often and have the means to offer a refund. I guess at some time I need to get a harder heart..but that probably won't happen.
