I purchased a yorkie from Melanie Hamilton of ShadyHill Yorkies in 2011. Hisname was Rudy and he was the love of my life. I had him for 2.5 years untilthis October when he suddenly fell VERY ill. I took him to the vet and he wasrushed to an Emergency center and diagnosed with a probable fatal liver shunt.He underwent 2 operations and almost a week in intensive care and hospital andafter over $10,000 and lots of tears, I lost him. It killed me and even thoughI did everything that I thought would save my best friend I lost him and havethis overwhelming medical debts now to deal with. I contacted Melanie and informed her as to what happened. She felt awful andtold me that she would replace the puppy for all that I had been through. Shetold me her next litter was due around Thanksgiving. Now she will not returnany of my calls or emails. I guess my question is what I can do. She wrote tome in an email and promised me another puppy. Does this hold up in court as acontract? Is there any recourse that I can take? The original contract onlyguaranteed the puppy up to one year, however she offered me a new puppy in anemail. This isn't right. I have had my hopes up and now am crushed again. Any advice would be appreciated. |
You do NOT want a puppy from the same breeding pair that produced your precious Rudy. Any breeder can have a puppy with a liver shunt...it is how they handle that information that determines how responsible and ethical they are. Hopefully, she has not bred those two again....in any event, YOU certainly do not want a puppy from that pair. If it was me, I think I would go elsewhere for a puppy....if this breeder was half human and had a compassionate bone in her body, she would GLADLY and GRACIOUSLY refund your money..... |

Sorry to read your sad news. My heart aches for you I come on from time to time to see if this woman has turned around. But it saddens me years later and still taking advantage of people and even still selling more puppies :( hope someone that might buy a puppy from her comes here first to read this because when talking to this woman you would NEVER EVER thing she would be this way she paints such a trusting picture. |
