When I emailed Jen and Mary Lou about Trace's diagnosis, I havent ever gotten so much as a reply from them which doesnt make me too happy since I did buy 2 dogs from them and have stood up for them numerouse times on this forum. I didnt sign a contract with them, I just went on their word that they stand behind their dogs. My mistake. I hope the OP got a signed contract as I stated earlier. I got Trace for a very good price considering he had wonderful bloodlines loaded with Durrer's and I had high hopes for getting some show quality pups out of him one day. I am bummed, but things like this happen and it is always a risk when you are dealing with animals. It could happen to any of us. I am not 100% sure Legg Perthes is genetic. From what I read it is but you never know. If nothing else I have learned a valuable lesson in this even if is was a costly lesson. I will be smarter in the future. |
Barb I am very sorry about Trace and the difficulty you are going through concerning him.. It is very hard when we put our heart and soul into our program and above all else love our dogs unconditionally! I would hope that Jenda Yorkies makes this right for you and especially Trace! I do not believe there was a signed contract on Bobbi's dog either.. But as we all know a contract is only as good as the people signing it.. So I am not sure a signed contract would help you or Bobbi.. I also cannot believe Jenda's Yorkies did not even email you back! I pray everything works out for you and Trace.. I also wanted to add anyone who breeds takes a risk of a genetic defect in the puppies, but a person who is reputable would make the situation right and not run in the other direction! I still see Jenda's Yorkies has puppies for sale and I believe she owes you and Lady Hawk a puppy or a refund! I believe she owes Bobbi a replacement or a refund..
