Returned Puppy I am very frustrated as one of the puppies ( Sherman's brothers) I sold to a good friend has had a husband come back and HE does not want the dog in the house. So she wants to return it immediately (SAD because the son LOVES the pup). Issue is I am in Rome Italy right now and not back to the states until this Sunday...RAWR of course because SHE is a "good friend" I did not have her sign the contract. I did ask her before I left if she was happy with the pup because I was goning to spend the money in Italy. She reassured me she would NEVER return the pup they loved him oh so much. The husband is an a$$ and I fear for the pup so Shaun is taking him no matter what. So now My Dear sweet BF Shaun is left to deal with this mess tonite as they return the pup. Do we give them all of the money back? |
I'd rather refund someone's money than ever have a pup in a home where it wasn't wanted OR rehomed in a home I didn't approve. |
I would not return all of it how much do you usually take for a deposit I would tell her your keeping that portion for your time and effort. She should have made sure about the hubby before she bought a pup |
There is nothing wrong with pup so I don't think a full refund is fair. Are you going resell the dog? If so maybe you can refund your 'friend' 1/2 the money that you end up reselling it for. |
They are bringing the puppy to my house tonite no matter what. Obviously I am not there so there will not be any exchange of money tonite. The husband is insistent that the pup be returned TONITE! I am just wondering is it normal after 1 month to refund all the money, some of the money?? OBVIOUSLY I want the best for this puppy I intend on reselling him because I have 3 dogs already but if I can not resell him I will HAPPILY keep him I am just wanting to know how long do you give before you say sorry no refund? |
wow, I would say because is NO contract you would have to return the money, I learned that business is business and best friend or not I want a sign contract. just for my and their peace of mind.:D I do it for my custom order dolls and for the pups I sell... sorry you have to go thru this..but better safe than sorry for the puppy's safe and your peace of mind. hugs, Carmen in nj |
I think your friend is doing the right thing by returning the pup. If giving her money back is an issue right now, maybe ya'll could work out a partial refund or a payment plan. It wouldnt be right of her to demand it back immediately when you had already told her you were spending it on the trip. Maybe waiting until you rehome the puppy would work. I wouldnt be too frustrated with your friend. She did the right thing, but in the future if she decides she wants a pup again-tell her no. |
It's not your problem they are returning the pup---only fair would be to give her 50-60% of whatever you can sell the pup for....she has no right to expect a full refund--the puppy is her property now, and you don't have to refund. |

You are doing the right thing by taking the puppy back. I would give a refund, but usually only after I rehomed the puppy. After just a month, you should be able to get around the same price. If it were a longer time period and he was much older, I refund the price I was able to get by rehoming..... However, don't let the money get in the way of getting him back and out of a situation with the husband that could be dangerous. You're friends and you can work out the money later. The important part is, he is safe. |
My take on this is that if they are "giving" the dog back, then it's a gift to you. I certainly wouldn't give her a dime. Too bad she didn't keep the puppy and kick the a$$ of a husband out instead. What's wrong with that man!!!! I'd never want a man who didn't like dogs. He sounds like a real winner!!! :mad: |
From my perspective as a buyer, not a breeder, I would never return a puppy after a month and expect to regain any of my money. You are actually doing her a favor by being willing to undertake the additional time and expense to find a new home for her pet. Of course, this situation is complicated by the fact that she is a friend, no contract was signed, and that I am sure you are concerned with the ultimate placement of the puppy. That said, my vote is for the following advice: Quote:

This is a sticky situation. Lesson #1, everyone signs a contract, even friends. They should understand that and if they don't, then I would not sell them the dog in the first place. Some are saying your friend made the decision to give the dog back, so it is a gift. Maybe let things go and don't bring up money. If your friend does, tell her if you are able to rehome the dog, you will consider sharing some of the money with her. Nothing is wrong with this puppy, she is letting her husband make the decision for her to give the dog back. She is going along with his decision. You are now incurring added expense for the dog, any vet bills, food, etc. She does not deserve a full refund, if any. The other thing you might do is contact an attorney and run the story by them and see what advice they give you. |
I would rather give the money back than have the pup in a home where it was unwanted. But I have to wonder...did she not discuss getting the dog with her husband in the first place? :confused: |
