Most reputable breeders have a lengthy contract and guarantee. Alot are now having mandatory return to breeder clause. But with everything, some buyers dont want to be "micro-managed", some dont tell the breeder that they haved moved, married, changed there name, or taken the puppy to the pound or have given it away or sold it. Cant blame that on the breeder!!
So if you want the big government to micro-manage breeders, you must also have big government micro-manage buyers. |
In rescue we have a clause like that. I have yet to have an adopter NOT respond to my requests to follow up on a pup. Maybe I am just fortunate...or maybe, just maybe it is because I am a total bug about screening? I think the latter! Yes.....I am lucky...but, I don't chalk it all up to luck. I take my time.
