Did you read the link? I have no idea if it's true, but it says that:
Quote:
Massachusetts gives the buyer of a puppy 14 days to document that the pet has a contagious or infectious disease. Shockingly, it also provides only 14 days to document the existence of congenital or hereditary defects -- not nearly long enough for many common conditions to manifest themselves.
A buyer who can document the existence of disease or defect is entitled to either a replacement of the pet or a refund of the purchase price. But, unlike most states, there is no provision for reimbursement of veterinary expenses. Nor is there any penalty for failure to produce advertised registration papers.

While Massachusetts may have overall great consumer protection laws, this isn't good protection for buying a pup. Fourteen days to report a genetic defect? That's ridiculous.
