Buying a Golden Pup

I've been considering a pup from a breeder and want to be sure I'm getting the proper paperwork. Can someone help me? If a breeder shows me a vets report on hip condition (not a OFC clearance) is this acceptable? Is a vets rating of fair an ok rating on the hips? Also how should a contract be worded on the health guarantee? These may not be easy questions to answer but any help or direction is appreciated. I want to make the right choice. I have other questions , but I'll start here.

Sorry, I don't know much about this. I would ask why they didn't get the other clearance on hips... and I would read and read and read the paper work and ask questions about any little thing you are unsure of.. GOldenPup
