Breeders are not *od. No matter how careful you are, sometimes things will happen. I do not think it is reasonable to hold breeders responsible for thing that happen after about 3 years of age. Most health testing is done by 2 years of age. (hips elbows eyes heart, patellas, Legg Perthe, etc.).
While as a breeder I really want all my puppy people to be satisfied, things that happen or go wrong after age 3 and after screening has been done to ensure general health honestly I don't feel I can be responsible for legally or monetarily.
Having said that there are always circumstances that defy whatever "rules" you as a breeder have set up for yourself and your buyers. If I had a buyer who ran into a terrible circumstance (early cancer death, to name one) I would want to offer them another puppy should I have one available and should they want one.
I do not think, however, that a 6 month guarantee is adequate.
