refundable deposit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put a deposit down on a male Yorkie. The day before i was suppose to pick him up. I received a call from the breeder saying he was at the Vet on a IV. She said his two sister died and she thinks he has Parvo. She told me if he didn't make it she would return my deposit..He passed the next day. She sounded upset and i told her when she was ready call me and we will talk about the deposit. After a week and half i never heard anything. I called her and ask about her upcoming litters. She said she had a litter coming in Dec but, had 3 people on her waiting list. I told her since she couldn't guarantee and male i will go ahead and get my deposit back. She agreed and said she would send out that Friday..A week later nothing.So, e-mailed her for the status. She replied that the puppy died of Corona and her and husband think that with the high Vet Bill that they don't think they should send the deposit and on her sight she states the deposit is non refundable. I reminded her she told me she would send my deposit back and she said she misspoke out of grief I feel it is non refundable if i decided not to get the pup.I never had the pup in my possession..Does anyone have any suggestion on what i could do to get my deposit back..Help |

My DIL is a Superior Court Judge now. When she was lower on the totem pole, she came down hard on breeders who were not honoring contracts or sold sick puppies, as well as vets being sued by clients when they messed up and dogs were lost. She isn't even an animal lover and is terrified of dogs and cats. You will find that most Judges are fair in cases such as yours. The breeder doesn't have a leg to stand on because her pups died of Parvo or Corona or whatever and she had vet bills. When called to tell your side of the story just repeat what you stated here and anything else that transpired, also add that you are upset and don't wish to wait who knows how long until she has another male since she has a waiting list and you are heartbroken. Don't be nervous and write notes for yourself with dates of conversations and what was stated so you don't leave anything out especially about her husband's dumb statement about their vet bills which have nothing to do with you or your deposit.
