So, if you take the pup back (has this happened?) do you have to compensate the original buyer or you just take them back? And what do you do with the puppy, resell it?
Just curious if you don't minde.
Hi, I don't mind at all. I have never had to do this and a large part of it is that my buyers have to go thru such a rigorous pre-placement regimen that I have a good idea where they are going. Even my older retired dogs go with that agreement. That does not mean I can go into someone's home and take the dog back. It says I will take it back IF the original buyers can no longer keep it. My buyers understand that I will work to enforce that portion and maybe at their expense..Would I approve another home that they pick-say, a family member? Only if the new owner is evaluated and found to be a proper environment for the baby. There is to be no exchange of money and that is also in the agreement...I also help place other toy breeds if the owne cannot keep it. BUT, I put a prospect in touch with the owner with me as a sort of adviser third person at NO cost..If I were to ever take a baby back, it would be treated and placed as a rescue NOT re-sold. The blue baby that I have discussed was placed both times by me for the amt. of cost of spay and the money was refunded as soon as I was notified she had been spayed..
BTW, I do not advertise so I have a very well-controlled referral list.
IMO, a breeder should not breed if they do not work to do what is best for the dogs they place all their lives. Also, IMO, we should be involved in rescue in some way.. |
