Personally, I would buy back the puppy, AND likely reimburse the vet fees AFTER confirming the conditions treated indeed existed. I don't like the "you keep the puppy and get your money back" system as too much temptation for fraud. My contract says "full refund upon return of the puppy." I've made exceptions based on the customer's willingness to work WITH me and not remarkably AGAINST me. Don't worry, any puppy coming back would be given the best of care!
Sorry to have to post this, but this thread is getting sickening!
By the way, if you don't like my terms, don't buy my puppy! |
Admittedly, I haven't read all 10 pages of this thread, along with the other 2 threads about it. I'm confused as to what exactly the OP expects to have happen. The contract covers life threatening conditions and specifies return of the dog. Indiana doesn't have any puppy lemon laws in place. Both parties signed the contract and agreed to the terms. It's highly unlikely that any judge would do anything other than enforce the terms of the contract, which would mean Max would be returned to the breeder and the money paid for him refunded. If reimbursement of medical costs weren't covered in the contract, then those would be lost as well.
We have an unfortunate situation that wasn't covered by the contract. We may all have our opinions about what we think the breeder should do. But to be honest, after reading some of the comments on this thread, the last thing I would be doing as a breeder is responding on here. I would be seeking legal counsel.
