I understand that you will want to sell her to recoup some of your costs. I'm sure people here will be willing to help to make sure she goes to the right home (under a s/n contract, as you mentioned)? |
In the event the seller does, in fact, refuse to take Emma back, yes, I will have no choice BUT to rehome her myself, albeit, at a major financial loss since she's not even remotely close to the value in which I paid.
The requirements for Emma's placement will be a single dog home with NO children and I, personally, will have her spayed prior to placement to ensure she is never bred. Emma is not breeding stock. Her body is too long, her nose too long and her haircoat is wirey. Not at all a good specimen to breed. Breeding is done to IMPROVE the breed, not make a profit. A good breeder makes no money. I have a close friend of mine who is a breeder here in Utah. Her beagle's have best in show twice at Westminster.
