7. This guarantee does not cover illnesses contracted after the Buyer takes possession of the animal or injuries due to falls or other physical harm. Never leave the puppy unattended on a couch, table, or bed. Be careful closing doors. Be very careful where you step.
9.A veterinary finding of intestinal or external parasites is not grounds for declaring a dog unfit unless the animal is critically ill because of that condition. Information regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) will be provided therefore the Seller will not be accountable should that occur.
The Seller guarantees the puppy for 1 year from the date of sale against hereditary and congenital disorders that may interfere with the animal’s ability to lead a normal life. If, within 1 year, following the date of sale of the animal, a licensed veterinarian of the Buyer’s choosing certifies in writing that the animal has a life-threatening, congenital or hereditary disorder the Buyer has the right to return the animal for a full refund of the purchase price excluding veterinary costs related to the diagnosis and excluding shipping costs associated with the return. Euthanasia of the dog without the Seller’s prior knowledge or consent voids this guarantee. |
The short answer is yes. And there are pretty good puppy lemon laws in Florida - I think that is where you live.
No good and ethical breeder will let a puppy go, especially to a novice owner that is
weighing under 2lbs and less than 12 wks old. Some leeway of course for the bigger ones at 10 or 11 weeks who are weighing solidly in at 2.5 or 3lbs.
Razzle came to me a "novice" owner of a toy breed weighing in at just 2lbs and 12 wks old. He was so very tiney to my eyes.
I am so very sorry that this your first experience with a beautifull baby pup turned out this way. Please know that there are many ethical breeders out there, that can and will support you. Also know that here you will be supported.
I am praying hard for your baby and for you. There will one day be a light at the end of this tunnel.
