[YorkieMiki]

Hi so a good friend of mine is getting the run around from their breeder about a dog she purchased. (this is a different breed than yorkie)

My friend is being very reasonable but the breeder has cut off communication. She merely wants what's best for the dog and to be compensated for vet bills for a congenial defect.

According to her veterinarian her dog has severe hip dysplasia and needs to be operated on immediately.

My friend had her vet send a report and the medical findings to the breeder. Now the breeder is claiming she did not receive enough information within the 5 day period which the purchaser has to warn the breeder. She even got a second opinion confirming this, but did not send a report from the second vet.

The breeder is claiming since she didn't receive enough information within the 5 days that it voids the lemon law. This isn't completely true because my friend sent in the medical papers AND had her vet send in the diagnosis in that time.

Also the breeder is claimed that she needed her own vet to examine the dog, but this was before she cut off communication.


At this point the breeder will not return calls etc. Should my friend hire a lawyer? Any advice on where to find one and what type of lawyer she needs? She doesn't have a lot of money to spend at this point because she has been drained with these vet costs and the surgery sounds like it will be
insane. Any advice is appreciated.
