What a breeder should cover? I would like to find out what other breeders do and what owners want.
right before I posted this I called a vets office as a puppy ( who is the product of my breeding) has a small umbilical hernia repaired. I paid the bill.
I do NOT mind paying for this. I tell everyone who takes home one of my babies. I will pay for anything that is a defect of birth or genetics. If you have ANY other problems call me and I will help you. I have paid for the spay of a owner that could not afford it. I have paid for grooming for an elderly lady. I have paid for heartguard. Etc etc
I feel that I do need to stop being quite so free with paying for things.. I am raising 5 human children and frankly we do live on a budget. I do not skimp on vet care or food etc for my dogs. They get the best of the best and I feel a huge responsibility for the puppies I breed.
I will take any of them back at any time. I pay for all 3 sets of shots no matter when they leave. but then spay and grooming and a hernia and the list goes on. This is the only medical defect I have ever had!!!
I am thinking of only paying for anything that is genetic or present at birth. I would not limit a time for anything genetic. Am I wrong?
what do those of you breed cover? Owners what do you think a breeder should cover or wish they had etc?
Sorry for making this long. I need to do the right thing. I can't just pass them off and say see ya! But I need to set a limit as well. |
