I think that if a puppy has a defect or health problem covered by the health guarantee, the breeder should pay the vet bills UP TO the amount of the purchase price. So for ex. if the puppy cost $1500 and has a defect that cost $800 in vet bills, the breeder would pay for that $800. But if that $1500 puppy had a $3000 vet bill, the breeder would just be obligated to return the $1500. Anything above that would be nice, but not necessary. I think it's good to give the option of taking the puppy back, but most people won't want to do that because they already love the dog.
I don't like the idea of a replacement puppy..if you already bought one defective dog from a breeder, why would you want another one? |
As a breeder this is what I'd do....I'd do what Lacy is referring too or refund the money and take the puppy back.
