2. why was this just now being discussed and wanting a refund? 2 years later?
3.this is not a life threatning condition and unless this boy was specifially
bought to be a stud - it is not a item normally covered by the guarantee.
4. Why would the refund/credit be given to someone else other than the original buyer if in fact a refund/credit were to be given- which unless as i said the puppy was to be a stud , none is due.
These are my opinions on this and would be my answer to the issue.
I don't mean to make light of spending $500 but i am surprised at the cost and also this is actually not much more than to have a female spayed so i don't understand why that amount would be an issue after enjoying this little guy for two years. Surely the money can't be the issue or can it ?
Vet bills are part of responsible pet ownership. |
I would have to agree with you here. Also my question is why wait two years for his testicles to drop, if they haven't dropped by 7 months old I would have thought the vet would say "lets go in and get them". By research, this can cause major health problems if left in too long right?
I have read many guarantees and I have noticed that a lot of breeders do not guarantee against stud or breeding use. So I really don't get why a breeder would be held to standard of ethics when it comes to this issue. When I hear the word ethics thrown around, it just seems wrong for owners (pet or breeder) to hold a breeder to such high standards when they might not know unless they are told. Its kinda like asking a breeder to become God in a sense.
