If the puppy is not returned within seven [7] days the contract is void.
If the puppy does not make it past two [2] years (more generous than the website currently states) because of a congenital issue and it is proven with an autopsy and vet report, the puppy will be replaced.
We can not guarantee that the puppy have any non-life threatening issues. We also cannot stand behind improper care from the buyer after receiving the puppy.
I hope this helps! |
Sorry but your post is confusing. First you state that
if if a problem such as a congenital issue is found the puppy must be returned to Firebrand Yorkies. If the puppy is not returned within seven [7] days the contract is void.
and then you say
If the puppy does not make it past two [2] years (more generous than the website currently states) because of a congenital issue and it is proven with an autopsy and vet report, the puppy will be replaced.
You know that there is no way that most congenital defects do not show up in the first week of ownership and usually if they do it is something that the breeder should have been or has been aware of. So is it seven day (7) or two (2) years for a congenital issue? If it is two years then why is she not honoring the contract in the other post (the one you posted in defending your friend and that I linked too? ) considering they did do an autopsy and did contact her trying to resolve this amicably.
I understand there are both sides but in order to see both sides we need to understand the breeders point of view. I understand you defending your friend and business associate. To you she is a good friend and a good person who is going through difficult times but no matter what is going on in your life if you want to maintain a good reputation in business or in life you need to honor you contracts and try to resolve issues honorably. I hope things can work out for everyone.
As far as my experiences with "Wellness Check" I purchased a Yorkie that came with a wellness check....my dog had kennel cough,giardia, and cocidia but was given a perfect bill of health on his wellness check so I don't hold much faith in wellness checks. Luckily California has puppy lemon laws and once I contacted a lawyer the issue was resolved but I was given a run around before I contacted the lawyer.
