At KC Kennels our top priority is breeding genetically clean dogs. We will not breed any dog without it having been screened for hip dysplasia, approved and certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), and screened for retinal dysplasia, approved and certified by the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF). However, no matter what precautions are taken a very small percentage of dogs will still develop dysplasia. In the event that happens, we will promptly refund your purchase price or, if you prefer, replace your puppy with one of comparable value. Terms of guarantee are as follows:
