I have to agree with Charlotte. In my experience with puppies, kittens, and children, the warranty expires as soon as they come in the door. I'd no sooner return a puppy than I'd take my child back to the hospital and ask for another one. (Tempting though the thought was now and then -- especially with the kid.) The offer is OK, I guess, as a sign of an ethical breeder, but it's totally meaningless in the real world. I couldn't control the throw of the genetic dice for my daughter (even though all bad behavior could be clearly traced to my husband's side of the family). With a puppy, I can be a little more discriminating but inevitably I'll have to live with the ultimate result of the breeder's choices. (So I want to know as much as possible about what those choices were.)
