At Big Hearted Breeders, we take pride in raising Mini Golden Retrievers that are healthy, happy, and ready to become a cherished part of your family. We are committed to responsible breeding practices that prioritize the well-being of our puppies, ensuring they receive the best possible start in life. To give our buyers confidence in their new furry companions, we provide a comprehensive health guarantee that reflects our dedication to quality and care.

Short-Term Health Warranty

We guarantee that every Mini Golden Retriever puppy from our program is in good health at the time of sale. Each puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian before going home and comes with a record of up-to-date immunizations. To ensure your puppy transitions smoothly into your home, we require buyers to have their puppy examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours of pickup. If any significant health concerns are discovered during this period, and your veterinarian deems the puppy unfit for sale, you may return the puppy for a full refund. This guarantee does not cover minor illnesses, common puppy ailments, or conditions caused by improper care after purchase.

Long-Term Health Warranty

At Big Hearted Breeders, we stand by the health of our Mini Golden Retrievers and offer a one-year genetic health warranty covering debilitating congenital conditions. We believe that nutrition plays a vital role in a dog’s long-term health, which is why we extend this guarantee to five years when our puppies are fed pawTree dog food. This premium diet provides essential nutrients that support overall well-being, joint health, and immune function. In the rare case that your puppy develops a genetic condition within the warranty period, we offer options including veterinary cost reimbursement, a replacement puppy, or a full refund.

Responsible Care for a Lifetime of Health

While we provide a strong health guarantee, maintaining your Mini Golden Retriever’s well-being requires proper care, nutrition, and veterinary support. Buyers are responsible for:

• Routine veterinary visits to keep vaccinations and health checks up to date.
• A high-quality diet, with pawTree recommended for extended health coverage.
• Joint care and appropriate exercise to prevent orthopedic issues.
• Pet insurance activation before bringing your puppy home. We partner with Trupanion to offer families a 30-day free trial with waived waiting periods.

We also require that all pet puppies be spayed or neutered. To ensure this is completed at the right age, we have a separate spay/neuter contract through SpaySecure. This program helps us verify compliance while supporting the long-term health of your Mini Golden Retriever.

Our Commitment to Ethical Breeding

Big Hearted Breeders is dedicated to the ethical breeding of Mini Golden Retrievers. Our puppies are raised in loving environments, receive socialization from an early age, and undergo careful health screenings. If at any time you can no longer care for your puppy, we require you to contact us first for rehoming assistance. Under no circumstances should one of our puppies be surrendered to a shelter or rescue.

By choosing Big Hearted Breeders, you’re not just getting a Mini Golden Retriever—you’re gaining the support of a breeder who is committed to your puppy’s lifelong health and happiness. If you have any questions about our health guarantee or care recommendations, please reach out to us!
