Ok. I just talk to my husband who is a very good attorney. He said you can sue her and should to recover damages she has caused you. You can go at it one of 2 ways; negligence or willful destruction of property (i know some people don't like dog's being considered property but in the eyes of the law they are). Depending on the amount you come to as to what she has cost you in the show ring and/or w/ the puppies... you could go small claims court (you wouldn't have to... couldn't for that matter hire an attorney for that) or regular court (you would need to spend extra money for an attorney w/o much chance of getting the attorney fees paid for (courts don't like to award attorney's fees much and in some cases they can't). Anyway, if you want to talk to my husband about it, pm me and I will give you his email!
I can't believe she told you your dog prefered short hair...lol! That is crazy that she thinks she knows what your dog wants. I do believe dog's have preferences (one of my mom's maltese love short hair cuts and the other would hide til it was fully grown out!). |
