I have many dogs, but I have no experience with buying such an expensive one and have never had a Yorkie. So shoot me! I have an AKC Pom. and an AKC Lab. Before that all of my dogs have been rescue dogs. My life has been very stressfull and I really wanted an indoor small dog again. What is done is done, but be that as it may, this Puppy Mill Breeder has NO BUSINESS selling puppies like this. Yes, I am an idiot and made a mistake, but either way, I should be able to get some type of money from her to pay for these vet bills! Yes, Jen, from what I have learned Calif. does have a strict puppy Lemon Law. Her contract states no health guarantee except if I find it in like 24-48 hours. I have never, ever of all of my dogs in all of the years had any with problems like this. Why should I expect this? I did figure if I found out she had some genetic problem a year later, that wouldn't really matter because by that time they are your family and you would never give them up. Heck, Molly is now my family and I would now never give her up. I may be an ass John, but this breeder is a bigger one! I was actually sent to her by an old friend who has 4 Yorkies and has had them for over 20 years (the breed). I trusted she knew what she was talking about.
I actually did do some research on Yorkies and I did read that there is no such thing as a Teacup, but then you see others who say there is. Either way, I wanted a small Yorkie. I did look at Breeders in my area as well, I looked at and called plenty. I now have told several Yorkie owners there is no such thing.
I just came here to request a little help (even though I was an idiot), I don't really care to get bashed by you or anyone else. I do and have been doing plenty of that to myself already. But thanks anyway. |
Your NOT and idiot!!! WE ALL make mistakes, forget what John said! Just focus on the helpful people.
CA lemon law trumps her so called guarantee or contract. Be sure to hold on to that though so you can show animal control (or whoever enforces this law) that she is not even following the state law.
It may not shut her down, but it's gonna sting like a bee when she has to give you your money back and vet fee's and then the fines she is going to get slapped with!
So call animal control and if they can't help they will be able to put you in touch with the right department. You don't have to go to court when there is lemon laws, I don't think any how...
