See item #3:
To preserve your rights under the Law, you must take your newly purchased dog to a licensed veterinarian for examination within 10 days of purchase. If a veterinarian determines, within 10 days of purchase, that your dog is clinically ill or has died from an injury sustained or illness likely to have been contracted on or before the date of sale and delivery, you have the following options:
(a) Return the dog for a complete refund; (b) Return the dog for a replacement dog of equal value; OR (c) Retain the dog and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinary fees, not exceeding the purchase price.These options do not apply where a seller, who has provided a health certificate issued by a veterinarian, discloses in writing at the time of sale the health problem for which the buyer later seeks to return the dog. |
This law is similar to Florida, my advice would be to talk to the breeder yourself and try to resolve this. Believe it or not the court has better things to worry about and if she has a good lawyer which most do, they will find a crack. I would attempt to settle this calmly,I usually have my husband talk for me in cases like this to be like the mediator. If that doesn't work have an attorney write a letter, you need resolution and Im sure like most of us you have spent a lot of money in the purchase of your yorkie. In my area they are not below $1500 and although you love your puppy, she makes money and she needs to realize she's made a mistake. Im sure she looked DIFFRENT and Im sure the siblings have the same problem as you. Im empathize with you deeply!
