| As is????? Have you ever heard of someone not giving a gaurntee on a dog. This lady that was going to mentor me now wants an as is policy on the dog. I know he is free and all, but this worries me, what happens if he gets sick and dies, would I still owe a puppy? Sorry she just called and asked , I am wondering if I should still go through with it please help, I was suposed to pick him up tomorrow

| You definitly want to clarify that with her. Sometype of gaurantee is expected with breeders. I would be questioning why not now? It is hard to say her reasons though. It does sound fishy. Even with a guarantee it is hard to imagine that your pup can get sick. Good Luck

So I wouldnt be unreasonable o say I want the health gaurntee or I am not taking the puppy. I think she is asking the lady buying the female for as is to. Just so wierd, and I thought she was a good breeder, she seemed so knowledgable This sucks, I was so looking forward to him, but now I am not sure,

| Sorry I have to ask.......... If the pup is free, other than taking the pup back or not expecting you to breed what else should there be? Breeders should refund the price of pups that are ill, but those are bought pups. If there's no contract she can't make you give back a pup from it. If there is a contract there should be a return clause and reasons of health the pup should be spayed/neutered. Is that what your looking for? |

| No the deall is that in return for this male dog, I will return one future female puppy to her. That is why I am worried, if something goes wrong and he dies or something then I want to know what I am obligated to

| Then she has to give you a contract to enforce the future pup back. If the male is neutered and you don't have a contract its not really enforceable. If she does want it in writing about a future pup, just ask her to add its contingent on the male being sound enough for breeding. If she can't do that, I would walk away. |

| It doesn't matter —pet quality OR show quality— I wouldn't touch a breeder who wouldn't give a health guarantee at least for the first year. That seems really shady if you ask me.

| Excellent question, Marlee. I've never seen this addressed on this forum. Of course, if the puppy dies, then you will have no litters from him so your obligation would be null. I think I'd want a contract on this. What do breeders on this forum think??

| I don't know any breeders who give more than the purchase price of a pup back in their guarentee. At least not in writing, they may help with vet bills above what the contract says. If there is no money being exchanged there is no consiquinces for the guarentee, thus its usless to the new owner anyway. See what I mean? The pup back is another story. Its future payment and for the breeder to collect she needs it in writing. Thats where health and breed ability should come into play contract wise. |

| Marlee, why don't you go see the puppy and see if he looks sound. I'm such a softie I'd want to get him away from her! If she wants a contract for a future puppy, then tell her she should be confident enough to guarantee his health in writing! Stand your ground honey! she sounds like a flake at bet and a crook at worst to me! The puppy would be better off with you Im sure! Just my HO. |

I have thought of that, either way my mentor has flown away in smoke, so now I dont know where to turn for advice on showing etc.. ahh so frustrating, I was so excited to get him. I am conteplating writing my own health gaurntee and asking her to sign it, Covering the usual, but then again, this varies from state to state and she lives in Oregon

| Would you really give him back to her if he were sick? I don't think I could! As for mentors, aren't there lots on YT? You are in a Catch-22 I think! Let us know what you decide to do! Just don't let her run all over you! |

the issue. I cant imagine the other person buying a yorkie from this lady taking a as is seal on the dog, OH MY I am sad becasue I wanted him, but i do not want to make the wrong decision. Can I make my own contract? Maybe put in there is something should happen it is null and void? as far as the mentor, yes YT is helpful, but having someone close would have been nice
