I too think the kennel owner should rebate part of the price but I doubt it will ever happen. I have learned the hard way that these verbal contracts just hold no weight along side a written contract that says different. My experience was with a home improvement and not a pet but it involved a LOT more money and I was still basically screwed due to a "limited guarantee." Unscupulous people can talk all they want but if they don't put it on paper, you are not protected.
There is no way anyone can predict the size a puppy will grow to be. Back in their linage there was bound to be some larger size and who knows when it will show? If you really want a "teacup" size, the only way to guarantee that is to buy a fully grown adult dog.
Sorry your baby was not as advertised but glad to hear you bonded and love the little one just the same. Good lesson to share with others about contracts, word of mouth, checking pedigrees, and steering away from some breeders. |
