No big deal.As for changing your mind about selling to a specific person of course that is the right of the breeder..I on several occasions have sent people away witout a puppy. I do the preleminary interview on the phone and they have to come to my home. If I do not like them as a parent on the phone, I give them a chance to see if I am wrong. They do know before they come here that they are iffy in my book..A good, responsible breeder has gut reactions and should follow their instincts.. |
There are two sides to each story. We were starting to Bash the breeder KIM-. Speculations were starting to be made with no evidence. Beth is a friend and member of the forum.
It is difficult when talking to people over the phone and internet when you are wanting to buy a puppy/adult. You loose out on that eye contact. Meeting someone in person is always better.
Miscommunication can cause problems. If I am taking a puppy to the vet for a health certificate- I really do not need the puppy to be owner calling my vet/ or me to leave me reminders on what is to be done on the check up. If you do not trust me enough to have a complete check up done then You should not buy a puppy/adult from me. The puppy to be owner has a listing that I send to them which clearly states what I am having checked and what we have agreed upon being checked in addition if any. I have a copy of this back in my paws before the kid goes to the vet with both of our signatures on it. You have a copy and I have a copy. Do I have a problem with you talking to my vet about this kid no. But due to disclosure laws the vet has to be careful about was is said unless they have a release from the breeder. This check up information is then provided to you before the kid is shipped. I do not make arrangments for shipping until I have this and you have been informed of the results and you state your approval. If the kid does not pass- you have the right to walk away with all your money refunded. I will not take full payment until this certificate is a go. It takes longer to get a puppy from me but I am happy.
If you are taking your puppies to the vet for checkups/physicals as they are getting the vaccinations at 6/9/12/15 weeks of age there are fewer suprises to be found for a physical when you want to sell them.
There have been times when you can tell that it is not going to be a good match for you and the breeder. It is better for the puppy/adult that you part company and go elsewhere.
