If the puppy has been bred before the x-rays have been evaluated by OFA, this portion of the warranty is Null and Void. The puppy buyer must send “Ponderay Golden’s”, documents from OFA stating that the dog is dysplasia. The dysplasia dog must be spayed or neutered and documents from the vet sent to “Ponderay Golden’s”. To qualify for a replacement puppy, you can keep the puppy but it has to be spayed or neutered, the replacement puppy will cost 1/2 the price of a puppy or you can return the puppy and a replacement puppy is free.  At that time the breeder will replace the dog with a puppy of like quality (when available).
