What charges can be brought against this breeder? Did you sign a contract guaranteeing the health of this pup? Are there puppy lemon laws in your state? What did the breeder say when you told her about the murmur?
I know that in Texas, health certificates are not required to sell ANY breed of dog...only necessary if they are flying. |
Unfortunately I don't ahve the health certificate, just receipts. We're in florida and we do have the lemon law. We're going to talk to the breeder later tonight and see what we can agree upon for the sake of Capone. I'm definately keeping him, so her only option is to refund my money or pay half of the doctor bills. I'm definately reporting her though either way, as that's what my vet advised. I was told by my vet that it's illegal to sell a dog without a health certificate...it protects both the breeder and the purchaser from the lemon law.
