As the bill reads, the buyer would only need a statement from their vet saying the puppy was sick or had a genetic defect. A second opinion should be automatic in these cases. While I (or most breeders) would not try to get out of our responsibility, there are some jack-ass vets that I wouldn't trust if they said the sun was up. Many things can happen to a pup that is out of the breeder's control, whether by injury or careless exposure to disease on the part of the new owner. |
The lemon puppy law only applies to Commercial breeders, not Pet Dealers. Pet dealers are not required to follow any vet protocol, but only have vet records available, if requested. Breeders who sell 5 or fewer dogs a year don't even have to have vet records available or save the names and addresses of customers.
