I want to be fair to brenda too. Yes she needs to be sent vet record and yes she may need a little time to absorb this and think. Like I said - one unhealthy puppy doesn't automatically make her a bad breeder. It's going to be in how she handles it. She may have done all she can to produce healthy puppies - but this has happened and she's going to have to step up and be responsible. I think the puppy and buyer deserve that, and I thnk a loving breeder would want to help.
Just remember that the buyer does have a right to share their experience. I'm sure brenda is very upset for various reasons, but she is not being unfairly reviewed. I think most have been very fair to her and have said they know health issues can arrise even if a breeder health screens. I know she's under no legal obligation to help because of the contract she has. I've already said I don't agree with that type of guarantee but the buyer did agree when they bought the puppy. I guess I'm hoping she will be there for the buyer and puppy anyway and most importantly research and know LCP is known to be genetic and to no longer breed the parents. She has the opportunity to do the right thing and continue her good reputation. |
Michele the only thing that I did not like is the fact that had the owner of this puppy had done her part by getting paperwork from her vet and sent it on to breny's or had she asked breny for her vets fax number so the OP's vet could send paperwork along for breny to figure out prior to making a breeder look bad.. she was totally wrong.. as you know I went through hell and back.. but I had the nasty emails and comments from the breeder to me.. this girl has no proof of breny being nasty to her that I have seen nor has she posted that breny had written she was not about to help her out..
I also feel bad for the buyer and no she was not signed up for this.. but things do or can happen to the best of breeders.. and this was handled wrong IMO...yes coming on this fourm with proof of a bad breeder, a breeder that is not willing to help you or a breeder that sells you a dog then wants more money.. should be posted.. but I do feel something went terrlibly wrong at the beginning of this thread...
maybe I am wrong but I thought earlier I read someplace breny was threatened that this person would come on if breny did not act right away.. had she gotten this paper work.. maybe this could have been different at the same time..
I personally do not know either member personally if it comes down to that..
