you know I can understand that with rescue dogs that if you can no longer care for them they should be returned to the rescue group so I am glad they have that in their contract. But when buying a dog outright if later in life I could not take care of it, I will be the one finding a home for it, not the person I bought it from. If I got the pup free under the condition of returning it if I could not keep that would be a different story, but not one that I bought outright and paid good money for. Guess I would have to address that if I was ever to buy another puppy again.
I do like the breeders trying to maintain contact to keep an eye on long term health issues that do not crop up until later in life, but the three I bought yorkies from never contacted me. It would be a stretch to call the person I bought Lola a breeder and she no longer selling dogs, so I doubt she would want her back. Thankfully I don't think I will ever have to give Lola up, but she is priceless so if I had to there would be a long line to choose from D |
