The difficult part is proving damage to reputation. Just because someone says something unflattering about a person doesn't make it slander. The person doing the suing has to prove that the other person was malicious and knowingly spread untruths. Relating someone's bad experiences isn't slander. Saying that you got a sick pup from breeder X isn't slander. Saying that breeder X was rude, non-responsive or what ever doesn't meet it either. Saying that breeder X is feeding her sick puppies to the roaming alligators is ( if you know that she isn't.)
