I'm not a breeder but the breeder who I got Piper from states specifically in her sales agreement that... Breeder/Seller assumes no responsibility for the puppy after leaving the premises; medical expenses, landlord’s disapproval, allergy to animals, disagreement of family, or for any other reason, other than stated... The stated part refers to her health guarantee laid out in another part of the sales agreement, which the guarantee is good for 3 months after the purchase. Now for my Chi, I have a lifetime warranty from her breeder and he would break it down into percentages depending on how old the dog is when diagnosed. Like from 1-3 yrs. it's like 80% off the purchase price of another dog, 3-5 yrs. it drops to a lower percentage and so on (I'd have to look at my paperwork for specifics). Neither breeder would refund any money if I wasn't able to keep my dogs for any reason. They would take them back, for free of course, and attempt to find them another home but I wouldn't be reimbursed any monies for something the breeder isn't responsible for. Around here it's not the norm to return money if the person has a problem in keeping the dog. Not sure how it is with other breeders elsewhere. Good luck to you!! |
