I went back and read the text and found the warranty and kennel requirements kind of at odds with common sense. Of course, you would think that a 'pet dealer' would have at least the same obligation as the 'commercial breeder' when it comes to guaranteeing the pup's health so why not the same obligation with kennels and runs. If that's not the case, do we have a situation where the puppy buyer would have more protection from a commercial breeder rather than a small breeder? Imagine that (buy with confidence....buy from a puppymill
). You said it yourself that the buyer would have to be careful and get a contract if buying from a small breeder. I'm sure the scenario I laid out is not what you meant but don't you see that this just illustrates the need for, at least, clarity?
