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.

This warranty is therefore offered as recourse if a problem develops.
