The pup needs shots, vet care, food etc, as long as it is in the breeders hands anyway...
Some years ago a breeder/friend took a $500 deposit on a bitch we co-owned...she refused to return it when the buyers husband had a stroke. I returned the money myself, told the buyer I would deal with the co-owner..and it bought me such good will..my grooming/boarding business went through the roof...and so did the requests for my puppies. You can not buy a good reputation...well, I guess that is not true..it cost me $500..LOL
The breeder/friend and I parted ways..I asked her to simply treat this woman the way she would want to be in the situation..she refused to return a dollar. |
Again Pat another good post that you have done here.. and you are oh so right.. why would any breeder want there puppy in a home when things got bad financially for the buyer.. just does not make sense.. I would never be that desperate to sell a puppy that I would be that way.. thanks Pat..anne
