The limit for small claim court in SC is $7500.00, filling the claim against the breeder will cost you 80.00 and you can include that cost in your claim.
The only way to stop those irresponsible breeders is to hit them were it hurts, "in the pocket". Once it cost them money to be negligent then they will think twice to sell sick puppies or too young just to get another couple hundred's quick. I also bought my 1st puppy for 2000.00 , sick and 4000 more a week later on vet bills. I have insurance now for her, and looking back I should have taking her to court and sue her down to her underwear for being negligent, but that is what a puppy mill is all about...
