If someone is looking for a show pup, I would not sell them one until the pup was 8 or 9 months old to insure that it was show quality. If I sell before, it is only as pet quality and the price for the pet is charged. It must be spayed/neutered, or I will take the dog back. I do not sell show potential, unless it is on a co-owner ship contract and then any decision would be a joint decision.

Would you refund the buyer the difference between pet and show quality even though buyer didn't ask for refund????
Would you pay for the spaying after proof it was done?
Would you discount another female in a future litter?
Remember the buyer has not asked for any reimbursement or replacement. This is an interesting question I thought. |
