Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I think any breeder that is truly good thinks of puppy first and foremost. I have a contract and always have a face to face interview for my puppies prior to selling them. I had a Doctor purchase a puppy that was 12 weeks and fully pad trained ask me to babysit once and called three days later to say she didn't think a dog was her thing after all. This was 6 weeks after she purchased him! I refunded 3/4 of the money just to get poor Brody back. It took weeks to re pad train him and re-adjust the poor thing to a loving environment. I then interviewed over 15 people to find the right forever home. Brody is very happy and well adjusted and will be three in August. A breeder and buyer need to agree to terms and put it in writing. All buyers should get a check up in a reasonable amount of time and all sellers should provide a reasonable health guarantee.

I agree with the 48-72 hour rule is a good one. It protects the breeder from being held reponsible for something the buyer causes, and it gives the buyer time to find out about any diseases, parasites, defects, etc. at the beginning before they get really attached.

If someone put a deposit on my puppy and changed their mind for WHATEVER reason, I'd be glad to find out before they took the puppy home and I would not be entitled to keep their money. | |

Most severe cases show up in the earlier years of a dogs life. I do not cover LP unless it's a grade 4 for one year. I also cover Leggs Perethess also for the first year. If you are a responsible breeder then you cover the most common genetic health issues within your breed and in my opinion for longer than a year because it can show up within the first 2 to 3 years of the dogs life. But of course this is just me! Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers | |

| Can you clarify this for me? Do you mean that you cover it for the first year, if it is a grade 4? (I'm not being picky, it sounds like a very good idea to me, just want to make sure I understand what you are saying) |

| I have not seen a contract like this before, but think it is a wonderful idea! It protects both you and the buyer, and sounds very reasonable. Thanks for mentioning this! |

| What do you think of This? The following excerpt was found at http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/lemon_ca.html California's law falls hardest on sellers of unhealthy dogs, but hobby breeders do not fall under its provisions except for the extremely active ones. It applies to anyone who sold, transferred, or gare away two or more litters during the preceding calendar year. Buyers have 15 days to document contagious or infectious disease, one year to document congenital or hereditary defects. The seller has 120 days to produce advertised registration papers. If the seller fails to do so, the buyer may return the dog for a full refund or keep the dog and receive a refund of 75 percent of the purchase price. If the dog is proven to be ill or to have hereditary defects, the buyer is entitled to a replacement plus reimbursement for veterinary expenses related to certifying the dog's illness, up to the price of the dog including sales tax. The buyer may also choose a refund plus reimbursement for veterinary expenses related to certifying the dog's illness, up to the price of the dog. If the buyer elects to have the dog treated, the seller is required to cover up to 1 1/2 times the purchase price of the dog in veterinary expenses. It is important to note that the cost of testing to certify a dog unhealthy could double what a seller is obligated to refund to the purchaser. This makes it very expensive to sell ill and defective dogs in California.
