Can anyone counsel me on how to hold this breeder responsible. Here is what I can share.
*Pup was listed on the Greenville Kijiji pet section website
*Pup was listed as 8 weeks..registered..and guaranteed health
*pup was listed at $350 and she said she would take $200
*I visited her home where I purchased Bailey and was told he was the last of the litter and had been held back due to ringworm treatment
*I contacted her the next day to inquire as to why I received no paperwork. Keep in mind I had my kids with me and was a little overwhelmed and excited.
*She said the registration papers but had to resubmit them and she would mail them to me when they came in and I could pay to register them online
*I never got anything written about the health guarantee-I am a first time breeder buyer and didn't realize this was a "written" thing.
*I have yet to receive anything from her
*I have all of our corrospondance since it was instant messages through facebook
*She admitted that her dogs tested positive for coccidia four days after I got bailey-her dogs had diarrhea
*She said she wouldn't help with the vet bills because I used albon instead of marquis as she requested ...my vets use albon
*She has offered to replace Bailey but my vet advised against it because her kennel has coccidia in the environment
*My puppy was bought on Wednesday July 4 and went into the vet for coccidia on the next Wednesday and was on IV from Thurs. to today when he passed
*She will no longer respond to my requests that she assist in vet bills after admitting that her dogs tested positive as well.
**Any help is appreciated guys!! I have dipped into our house down payment money to cover vet bills and I am no more able to cover these bills than she is!!** |
