| ![]() Oh dear , I am very sorry you lost Basil. I believe the breeder placed you in this terrible position though. Possibly not on purpose though. However, I agree that you need to contact the breeder ASAP, and let her know what happened to Basil. You only had him for 2 days. I believe he was extremely ill when you brought him. I also think it would be a good idea to take him to get a examined /nercrospy and find out exactly what took the life of Basil. I would not bring home a new puppy until you know what caused the death of Basil. Because you run the risk of anther puppy being exposed the the same illness as Basil. Example, Parvo. I hope the breeder will be good to you, and not give you a hard time, after what has happened. IMO, I hope that she gives you all of your money including the deposit back, than I'd be looking for a reputable breeder. Going through the AKC channel.

| ![]() How awful, I feel so sad for the puppy and you. Please let us know what the breeder has said, or has to say when you can. I would be requesting a refund not a replacement puppy, seems to coincidental that the puppy was to sick to leave the breeders care and then passed away the next day. If the breeder will only offer a replacement pup I would request all the paperwork from her vet diagnosing the puppies illness, if he was ill enough to not go to his new home that I would expect that he seen a vet

| ![]() I am so sorry for your loss. I can totally understand being so upset. This is such a sad thing to happen as it sounded like your breeder was trying to do the right thing with keeping him when she noticed he was ill. Did she say if she took him to the vet. Oh, sweetie, my heart breaks for you both. (((((((((Hugs)))))))))

| ![]() My sympathy to you, how heartbreaking...Have you talked to the breeder yet? If not, do so immediately...ask for her vets records on your pup. A refund is in order, I'd also suggest not to accept a replacement. Good luck...this is so very sad.

First thing, check your sales contract. Did you get a health guarantee? Second, call the breeder. She may do right by you and return your money even if there is no contract, if she is a decent person. If she returns your money, that would end it for me with this breeder. I would find another puppy from another breeder. If she does not give your money back, first contact a vet and ask about documenting the death and maybe performing an exam to see if cause of death is obvious. Not sure of $$ for a full autopsy. Tell him about the black BM the puppy just recently had. Also check with your state law. Florida where I live has a very good Pet Lemon Law. It protects the buyer very well. They have 14 days to document infectious disease and up to a year to document hereditary disease or conditions. The buyer can demand a refund or replacement PLUS be reimbursed for vet expenses up to the price of the dog. I think I agree with the previous poster that said they would not want another pet from this breeder. I do not know if Ohio has a similar law or not. But small claims court could be an option even if there is no law in place. Document everything. From the first time you put down the deposit and each phone call about the dog being sick, to picking up the puppy, it's death, and every subsequent conversation. Write down who, what, where and when. I know it is difficult to think of the legal angles when you are still mourning the loss of such a tiny innocent puppy. But, you have to think of the big picture. You are standing up for yourself, your family, and all the puppies and families this breeder is responsible for after this too. Hopefully, she is a good honest person who just made a poor judgement call when she let a puppy so recently ill go to a new home. If that is the case, you should have your money back very soon.
