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. |
If Jen's breeder is just a person breeding her personal pets, and sells them directly to the public , and she's not a license business, none of those puppy laws apply to her. No law suit well hold up in court, Talk to the USDA, and your states Department of Consumer Affairs. Buying a puppy out of someone's house,..... same thing as buying something from their garage sale. Buyer Beware!
