This question relates to the Sale of Goods Act and the distinction between "conditions" and "warranties." A condition is a stipulation essential to the main purpose of the contract, the breach of which gives the buyer the right to repudiate the contract. A warranty is a stipulation collateral to the main purpose, the breach of which gives the buyer the right to claim damages. The seller's offer to take back the animal suggests that the statement's breach is serious enough to warrant a significant remedy, making it potentially either.
