:thumbup::thumbup:

this is a little known law that people need to be aware of.

my computer keeps freezing up. I also wanted to say that I am sorry you are going thru this Sue.

Hire an attorney.

wow is all i can say... i cant believe there are people like that out there. Bad mouthing breeders then turning into a bad breeder... sorry for all of your heartache. keep ur head up, you seem to be a pretty darn good breeder to me!

The actions the lady has taken speak volumes. If she was truly that concerned about the claimed condition this dog has, then why on Earth would she have bred him and risked passing it on to his pups? :confused:

I can understand expecting you to pay at least a portion of the vet bills IF there was a diagnosis made, but from what you are saying, there has been no proof of that, right? :confused:

I agree with what others are saying. If the story is as you claim, you are not at fault. I would meet her threats head on with an attorney.

Sue, I don't have any significant advice to add to what has already been posted, but I want to wish you quick and peaceful resolution in this matter. Maintain your professional demeanor and thorough records and you will prevail.

No one has been named here - so I don't see how this can be defamation of character in any way.

Also, from what's been described, this person doesn't have any claims here, imho. You offered several options to this buyer, she took none. She then bred a dog who she claimed had an observable and vet-documented health defect. That action says it all, I think.

Thank you
 

I appreciate everyone's positive feedback and thoughts about the situation. I have turned over copies of all correspondence to my attorney including the emails sent to my friend.

I have received one last email (hopefully) from the buyer and she's stated that her attorney advises her to cease contact with me. She went onto say that if I didn't discontinue this thread, her attorney would send a cease and desist letter and they would proceed from there.

At this point, I will ask for this thread to be closed; not because of the most recent e-mail but because I feel confident that I did try to work with this buyer to rectify the situation. I've been told the girl has been spayed and pups will be neutered (hopefully that is the case). I wish it were possible for me to get copies of all vet notes and testings ... guess time will tell.

I'd also like to say here to the buyer: if I hear that you continue to defame my character, whether it be written, word of mouth or published on the internet, I will take full legal action against you. If you try to contact me again with your harassing/belittling emails, I will see you in court and if any sort of retaliation is ever taken against me, you will be the first and only name that comes to mind. These are not threats - these are facts.

Thanks to all for your comments and for just listening to my story.

Admin, please close this thread.
