All Top Flight Golden Retrievers pups carry a 24-month congenital health warranty. This warranty covers congenital hip, eye, and heart defects, as deemed by a veterinary Specialist, practicing in the respective specialty. All parents of Top Flight Golden Retrievers litters are required to have hip certifications from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals - OFA, eye certifications from the Canine Eye Registration Foundation - CERF, and heart certifications - SAS.

OFA, CERF, and SAS clearances of both of the parents Does Not preclude that the offspring they produce will be free from genetic defects affecting their hips, eyes or heart. Regardless of the genetic health of the parents, there is no possible way to guarantee that a puppy will be free of any or all, genetic defects. This warranty is therefore offered as recourse if a problem develops.

The Buyer is the sole responsible party for the care and maintenance of the puppy upon leaving our premises. Top Flight Golden Retrievers will not assume financial responsibility or liability for veterinary exams, vaccinations, diagnosis, or treatments. This warranty covers genetic defects of hips, eyes, heart that prevent the dog from functioning normally as determined by a licensed veterinarian.

Part 1 Suitable Food & Feeding Practices

A. Provide and feed the pup with a quality food source,containing substantial amounts of highly digestible, high quality protein. (Suggested products    include Canidae, Eukanuba, Nutro, and Pro Plan.) Grain based foods DO NOT meet this requirement.

B. Feed the pup Large Breed Puppy Food until the dog is 18 months old, or as directed by your Veterinarian.

C. Feed the pup in accordance with your veterinarian's instructions. DO NOT overfeed the puppy. Overfeeding causes unnecessary stress on its joints and skeletal structure.

Part 2 Shelter

A. The Buyer agrees to provide suitable shelter to protect the dog from undue heat, cold, wind, precipitation, or insects. Keeping the dog in your home is preferred.

C. After the initial series of vaccinations, regular examinations are REQUIRED at a minimum of four month intervals for the remainder of the first year, six month intervals thereafter. This allows the Veterinarian to monitor the physical and emotional development, and offer suggestions to help you obtain optimum results with your dog.
