I think at anytime the buyer wants to "get rid" of the dog and the seller wants/should buy the dog back that is fine. The question from what I understood was the health guarantee. Some owners are not willing to give up their much beloved sick dog for compensation. They would like the breeder to take some responsibility and while that is up to the breeder as to how they choose to offer that responsibility, to say "I'll give you your money back just send me the dog" is in my feeble way of looking at things trying to get out from under their obligation. I'll repeat the question - "what will the breeder do with this ailing dog that may require major surgery once they have it back?" I think many will just euthanize it, some may do the surgery but then what? If a breeder wants to guarantee health issues then do so outright without requiring the dog be sent back. If the owner does not want to keep the dog then have a clause that the breeder has the right of first refusal in buying the dog back. These are IMO seperate issues. Does this help or am I still confused. Susan Ablon Gweebarra BMD Balch Springs, Tx http://www.pageweb.com/gwebara
