I think things were misinterpeted, so I will try to explain myself.
Exactly what I said. But one that says a puppy WILL NOT BE OVER 4 LBS and is a breeder should give you that guarantee when they emphasize this over and over and say they already turned down 2 breeders offer to buy her because she would NOT be big enough to breed. To me she should of been honest and said it doesnt seem the dog will ever get very big but I wont say she will NOT since you never know.
I agree with you and it was stupid on her part, she should have said that I am only guessing this and she can get bigger than 4 pounds and I am sorry you had to deal with this situation.
I am talking about the very thing that makes a breeder bad, and that is lying when they totally have no way of promising that. So like I said, there is good and bad on both sides and whether you agree with me or not is no concern to me. I still have a right to my opinion same as everyone else.
Now you tell me I dont deserve a dog just because I dont feel like they have a right to say you CAN'T unless you have it spade/neutered and give let someone I dont even know do a bg ck on me?
Perhaps I just don't understand why you would not want to spay/neuter the pup. The breeder should be a good judge on whether the pup is suitable for breeding and if it is not, then why not spay/neuter??? Other than for breeding a dog, why would you keep him/her intact, unless you plan to show?? Oh and if the dog is suitable for breeding then I would not see why the breeder would not wait until they talked to the person to see whether or not the dog would be spayed/neutered.
As for the back round check, the only thing I would check on is vet records and potential buyers agree to this, the breeder does not do it behind their backs without them knowing about it. I would not care or need other personal information such as are you married, have you committed a crime, where do you work, is just is not relevant. Just a simple vet check to see if you keep up with the care of your dogs, vaccinations and preventatives. I don't see the harm in that....
That is absurd. I deserve to buy whatever I am willing to buy that someone wants to sell me. I didnt say a dog should not be spayed/neutered, I'm saying all these breeders want to put it in contracts but until a breeder talks to the buyer and sees what kind of person is buying the dog then that should not be in the contract if they are responsible people unless there is a good reason it should HAVE to be done. I also couldnt care less what anyone here thinks of me on my post, I can promise you, Kizzy's breeder couldnt have bought her a better home with better care or more loving people, but she has not called once to see how she is after thinking she would be so tiny so apparently she didnt care if she was ok or not, she also let her go at 6 weeks old. Dont tell me about breeders and buyers. There is all kind of people in this world. And asking for personal info for a back ground ck to me is just totally something I would never go for. Their not hiring me for a job, I am buying my job from them. Their not gonna pay me a dime more or less if I take care of her or not. So that is my 2 cents for what its worth.
And how many dogs have you ever took back and gave the buyer actual cash for or does your contract say, replace with another dog of equal quality and value and if you dont have another then it says they get their money back. Well why would anyone want a dog from the same person that sold them a bad one in the first place?
My personal preference would be to either have a full refund, yes cash, or
replace the puppy with another one. I don't think it is fair to just say you will can only have a puppy replaced and no refunds otherwise. I also like to buy from only breeders that have both options, it makes more sense and I feel more comfortable with it. Like you said why would you want another puppy from the same person if the puppy you had you were not happy with, it just does not make sense.
But I do understand bad dog as in a health problem it has when you buy it. But that is the contract you sign from any breeders that I've seen or heard of. I was never ask for info for a back ground ck or anything else for that matter. I did not say anything whatsoever about teddyandtiffany being bad breeders. It was merely what I think about some breeders and some contracts going to far. She ask opinions for what should be put in it. That was my opinion. If you recall, I havent ask for your opinion I dont have to defend my opinions as you dont either. we all have one. But I also didnt ask her to predict my dogs future size but she did. That would be like me predicting nobody here would tell me I dont deserve a dog if I dont want to give them my history for a bg chk and I still wouldnt. But for your info Kizzy will be spayed next month out of the love I have for her, not because it was in a contract. Same as I had my last puppy neutered. |
