| I say add the change before you take her home That is what I did, ....changed the date and we both initialed it......most people dont have a problem with this......and when I called the vets office....I told them my timeframe....and they understood..and got me in right away.... I find that most breeders are pretty easy to deal with, they are as cautious as you are....and rightfully so. |

| I'm not sure I agree with the buyer having all of the options. Why does the seller not get to make a decision? If one of my pups is suspected of having a congental problem I would rather refund the money and take my baby back and have his care given by a vet that I trust under my supervision. I don't want to be forced to pay the vet bills of someone that I don't know who may be doing unnecessary tests or work and may be overcharging me as well. If I am to flip the bill than I should be able to make the decisions. I also feel that 15 days is a bit long to document contagious or infectious disease. If something like parvo shows up 14 days after that pup leaves my home it was not contracted here. It just seems to leave the door open to some crafty scammers. I understand consumers wanting to be protected but breeders need to be protected now days as well, everyone is looking to get something for nothing.

Good Post! So, why do most breeders only give a replacement puppy, rather than a refund? Sheila | |

| I would guess that alot of times it's a matter of resources. You may have a litter coming but not have a couple of thousand dollars sitting around the house. You can't deplete your cash, you must have it available in case of an emergency c-section or accident. I received a replacement puppy once, I had made contract with that breeder and there was no reason not to continue to deal with her.

one more of the sucky things about breeeding and selling puppies. If a vet would declare that this puppy had an inflicted head injury after it was transferred to the new owner, I think I might take my chances in court, if the buyer decided to go that route. I don't think it would be likely that a person who dropped a puppy would sue. But then again, you would have to be concerned with this person still having the puppy. | |

| My thoughts exactly.. at least this puppy is able to live with the breeder and get the attention he needs, the love he needs and is able to live the best life he can live.. obviously the buyers did not really care what they did.. they just wanted their money back.. good breeders are good breeders... |

All this breeder was concerned about was the puppy's well being and he's still deaf, blind and has seizures but it is controlled for now until he gets worse and has to cross rainbow bridge...the reason I know all this is because I know the breeder personally (no it's not me) I wasn't breeding 4 years ago. It's a sad case but the little guy is so sweet. | |

I recently read a contract where the seller offered a LIFE time guarantee against congenital defects. This was not yorkie puppies, but I did think....there is a breeder who is certain of their lines. Or perhaps...they realize just how infrequently they have had to replace a puppy or refund money. I would suspect more buyers elect to keep a puppy with a congenital defect and accept the responsibility of having them treated....outnumber the ones who do not. They are attached to THIS puppy. Side note - a young guy who works next door...his girlfriend purchased a yorkie pup from a pet store (yeah, I know...learned this yesterday). That puppy came with a 3 year congenital health guarantee. I haven't seen it...I don't know how difficult it would be to enforced...nor any fine print...but I was surprised to say the least.
