Defamation, dishonesty and untruths

[JeanieK]

I don't understand why the OP was not given a statement from the vet. Why would the buyer not give her a statement and return the dog for a refund.

No one can expect to be given a refund and still keep the dog.

Things just don't add up.

Poor Scooter I hope his seizers are under control now with the meds and testing and everything.

I never said you picked up your pup. I just wanted to make it clear to anyone who doesn't know, or has never encountered a seizing pup that it is not a good idea. Many people read this thread, even non-members. If someone Googles "seizing dog" or "seizing puppy" the last thing I would want is for them to get the wrong idea when this thread is pulled up as a Google result. None of my comments were directed as an attack on you, they were comments based off your post. I'm sorry you took them the wrong way.

I've always wondered that in these disputes too. Why can't they provide something from the vet? I would personally never return a dog as you are attached to it at that point, but you could surely provide proof of the dogs ilness.

ditto. What is the value of such a video in a post like this, where two sides are trying to present themselves as having integrity and being trustworthy? To appeal to the emotional side of readers? Wouldn't most people have some idea what seizures look like?
A questionable approach to strengthen the buyer's argument, in my opinion.

I would not have posted the video but the OP claims there was nothing wrong with the dog.

Like I said I have long since moved on.
The OP is the one who keeps wanting to stir things up.
Those posts were not longer visable until she posted them again.

She have been stalking and following me all over the net looking for any
peice of info to twist around.

Sherry, just so you know, Defamation according to the law, doesn't have to always be a false claim someone has made against you. You can be defamed by someone spreading stuff around on you that is done for the sole purpose of destroying your reputation and with a malicious intent. it does not have to be false. Just that they are running their mouth about you to hurt you. So if this person tries anything with you, you do have a leg to stand on. no matter what anyone's opinion is, and we all have them, this situation is five years old and as you said, you have moved on.

The problem is, if you don't return the dog, you cannot expect the seller to pay for the vet bills. A refund, upon proof of the condition, is reasonable, but not an open checkbook indefinitely.

I found the title of the video distasteful: "Scooter the Seizure Yorkie."

Not a very compassionate title.

Personally I find this whole thread has other motives and to post something 5 years later is just ridiculous and a lot of mis-information is being given.

I might add a lot of reputable breeders would let the owner keep the dog and pay the vet bills. If someone is only into breeding for the $$$ then they will do anything in their power to blame the new owner instead of stepping up to the plate and admit it might be from their breeding. Someone who is concerned for the dogs first would do this.

I highly doubt this happened because of dog food or a an injury to the brain but that is just my opinion based on a dog that was hit in the head with a baseball bat and if it was dog food the dog would be dead.

So it would seem...

The points that have been made regarding this aspect kind of shocked me, to be honest. I was under the impression that the breeder *at least* assisting with vet bills was the norm. I would think at least paying the bills up to the purchase price of the dog would be resonable and not that unheard of. After seeing the comments made by some of the other breeders here, I see that is not the way this type of situation would typically be handled.

What misinformation is being given, do you have the email correspondence between these two people?

You say that "If someone is only into breeding for the $$$ then they will do anything in their power to blame the new owner instead of stepping up to the plate and admit it might be from their breeding." Well when the buyer will not provide vet reports, labs, and other information to back up their claims, do you really expect a breeder to end a breeding line, based on an unhappy buyers accusations? Sure it could be hereditary but it could also be a result of many other things too.

Opinions are one thing, actual happenings and facts are another, and the fact is, that dogs do have seizures as a result of food sensitivities and dogs do have seizures from something as simple as running into the leg of a table hard enough. My vet has seen both of these reasons, cause seizures in her patients.

No offense, but I think comments like this are exactly what Cindy meant in the whole thing sounding a bit fishy. Too many people quick to comment who are not involved with the situation, but who seem to have a lot of knowledge and very strong opinions regarding what has taken place.
When sides start being taken, seems like it's best for the parties involved to handled the matter privately instead of involving all of YT and having members drawing sides in the situation. But that's JMO.

I agree there should have been documentation then if the breeder stands by their breedings they should have paid the vet bills up to the purchase price. This is 5 yrs old though and I wonder why its all being hashed out now

Personally I think it is the approach a breeder takes and how the new owner will respond to them with information. If a breeder immediately starts trying to find reasons why it is not their breeding lines and back peddling then it shows me they are not as interested in the dogs as they are in shutting down a breeding line and their investment. A reputable breeder would not be as concerned with shutting down a line as they would be in producing happy heathy puppies. I have seen so many breeders immediately blame a dog for jumping off of a sofa for LP, I have seen contracts for puppies that makes my skin crawl to even call them breeders...they are just greeders IMHO. I don't personally think we spend enough time on YT looking at contracts of breeders because they tell a real story.

I would like to know how many dogs has your vet seen have seizures because of food sensitivites or run into the leg of a table? Yes it can happen but the odds are very slim on a dog having these kinds of seizure just from food.

I would also like to know why the OP has not come back to defend herself..
