Event Horizon Farm has two different health guarantees.

• Our first guarantee is for the overall health of your puppy.

When you pick up your puppy, we have a 72 hour guarantee that we would like you to use to visit your own vet. If your vet finds that our puppy is not healthy, we will take it back with a copy of the vet report.

• Our second guarantee applies to the hips of your new puppy.

  Although the labrador is ranked 71st in the OFA report on dysplasic dogs, there is an ongoing concern for the health of the labrador breed. The popularity of labradors has lead to far too many unscrupulous breeders, and this is showing in the increase in the number of labradors with hip problems.

  To address this concern, Event Horizon Farm will guarantee the hips of our puppies for 25 months. We pick twenty-five months as the OFA will not certify hips on a labrador until they are 24 months old. Therefore, my guarantee gives you thirty days from the second birthday of your dog to get them certified, if you wish.

  Ratings that are Excellent, Good and Fair are considered acceptable and no refund will be provided. Ratings that are Mild, Moderate and Severe will either be offered a new puppy at the next breeding or your money refunded at the next EHF breeding. Borderline ratings will follow the recommendation of the OFA. OFA usually will want to re-examine the hips of your dog in six months. At that time, we will follow their findings with the above actions.

  If you have taken x-rays and submitted them before the 30 day deadline, but have not yet received the report back, I will still honor my guarantee. As I only breed dogs with a Good rating and higher, we do not worry about the hips on any of our puppies and can make this guarantee in full confidence.
