I find that odd. If it is understood that a breeding bitch can not be bred if they have a heart murmur before 2 1/2 then they were not sold a breeding bitch they were sold a pet. Unless the show and pet price are the same they should be at least given the difference between the two amounts or return her for a replacement. For the most part in Goldens hips, eyes and hearts are warranted to be free of dysplasia, SAS, and will CERF up to 24 months of age and usually 26 months for hips on bitches in case they come in season when they are going to be OFA'd to give them time to come out. In addition, most show prospects are warranted not to have a disqualifying fault. Ours are height, one inch over or under and bites, overshot or undershot are disqualifying. This of course is if the breeder has two amounts for pet and show. Many breeders now are just selling both at the same amount and if something doesn't clear, goes too big, stays to small, bite goes bad, then essentially they've bought a pet.
