Health Guarantee

Prior to breeding, our adult dogs are vet checked and genetically tested by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and / or by Embark for Golden Retriever hereditary diseases and genetically cleard for over 200 diseases that affect Golden Retrievers.

We guarantee puppies to not be affected by genetic disorders. 

​Note: Risk can never be zero in some cases environmental influences can also play a role. 

Every puppy will be checked by our vet before they leave and come with a health report from the vet. Puppies also come with 30 days of free insurance that we provide at no additional cost to the buyers through Trupanion. If that insurance is not activated within 24 hours of receiving your puppy our health guarantee is voided.

​

Every effort has been made by the breeder to assure that the puppy is healthy when it is delivered to the buyer.  Six Brother's Goldens will not accept any responsibility for reactions to vaccines/medications, flea and tick preparations, or disorders caused by environmental factors, allergies, thyroid, autoimmune diseases, or parasitic issues that arise.

The buyer must agree to NOT place the puppy in any public areas and grounds including but not limited to, dog parks, pet stores, on the floor at a veterinarian clinic or any other place other dogs have been until all puppy shots have been complete. This is for your puppy's safety against deadly germs. 

Six Brothers Goldens will not be held responsible for the development of non-genetically derived diseases or disorders which may be due to negligence or failure to protect your puppy from communicable diseases .
