Hip Guarantee
                  Michigan Elite Labradors
                      HIP GUARANTEE

This hip guarantee applies only to those puppies/dogs bred by Michigan Elite
Labradors and only to the original purchaser. Seller does hereby guarantee this
puppy/dog to have acceptable hip joint conformation as determined by the OFA. If
this puppy's/dog's hips are rejected for OFA certification before twenty four months of
age, seller will replace this puppy/dog with another puppy of comparable value from
our next available litter. (OFA results that are considered rejections are Moderate or
Severe CHD.) OFA is a standard as which to determine extent of hip dysphasia. A
replacement puppy, upon availability, will be of the same breed, sex and color as the
original puppy/dog unless otherwise agreed to by both parties.

Replacement puppy will be provided between eight (8) and sixteen (16) weeks of
age. Seller is bound by this guarantee if and only if the following conditions are met:
1. Seller must be notified of OFA rejection within thirty (30) days of the written level of
Dysphasia by the OFA.  
2. OFA rejection and a written statement from a licensed veterinarian who took the
x-rays must accompany the request.
3. Original puppy/dog must be spayed or neutered, and a written statement from a
licensed veterinarian indicating that this has been done must be provided to the
seller.
4. Original puppy/dog must not ever have been hit by a vehicle or suffered any other
physical trauma capable of causing lameness of any type, for any duration. Any such
trauma will render this guarantee null and void. Any condition of obesity or
malnourishment for any duration will render this guarantee null and void. Dogs that
have been bred before the x-rays for hip evaluation were taken renders the hip
guarantee void.
5. Any returned animal must be accompanied by any and all paperwork supplied by
the seller at the time of sale, as well as a written statement and records from a
licensed veterinarian indicating the following:
a. All shots are and have been kept current.
b. Puppy/dog has had a negative fecal within thirty (30) days.
c. Puppy/dog has had a negative heartworm test within thirty (30) days and has been
kept on heartworm preventive.
