I took this baby cause it was either take him or he would die. The owner was not prepared for the physical aspect of raising a baby by hand. She was worn out after one day of taking care of him.
Needless to say no she is not a breeder. I did not ask for any money when I took the little guy. My statement was if he lives you will need to pay for the vet visit and the tail docking and any other medical expenses that I incurr as he grows.
I had bottles and milk to supplement him with- so that has not cost his owner anything. I took him in for his sake and not the owner. If he does make it and goes back to her I will try and keep him until he is 3 months old.
I am not sure if she would know how to or would want to take care of him.
I will pass on the court situation. Got one of those going on right now with a contract and the misrepresentation on dogs that I bought. Those things can get expensive and ugly.
Warning watch out for any and all contracts that breeders may require you to sign. If you buy a dog and the papers are not available get a bill of sale that states if you will be required to sign a contract and what that contract contains.
Do not trust anyone- not even if they are a member of the YTCA. You can get burned. I have learned the hard way. Take any and all contracts to your attorney and have them look it over. Don't take the sellers at face value that what they say verbally is what they mean in the contract.
Don't be afraid to have and ask for a contract to be re-written that makes
any questionable points - very clear.
I may just leave LUcky's tail undocked. It will not hurt him as being placed as a pet- if he stays here I will not have any papers for him anyway. |
