Well it really doesn't matter what others have to say about her in this case. If she didn't sell you a sick puppy and you went around telling people she did you may be held responsible for damaging her reputation. If you had the dog for a few days and have vet bills to prove you it was sick within those few days you are fine. If you had the dog for a few months on the other hand and it became sick that's a different story.

If you went around saying that she's lying about the pedigree of her dogs and have no proof of what you are talking about then you may be held lible. Sick and lying about pedigree rumors could and should close most breeders down so I really hope what you said about her was true.

We will be countersuing for selling us a sick dog and two misleading us about the dog's pedigree.

I will keep you all posted as to what eventually happens. Today we are going to go to the local courthouse and see how many other cases have been filed against her.

chattiesmom · 09-01-2006, 01:02 PM

There you go, Scrapindee. I wish you the very best of luck!

Lacy's Mom · 09-01-2006, 01:11 PM

Liable or defamation of character can only be won in a court if the statements are untrue. Have documentation to support any statements she has proof that you said.

I would also countersue for any vet bills you had and any pedigree issues - documentation is the key, vet bills, articles or vet letter stating the incubation period of the illnesses your puppy had.

scrapindee · 09-01-2006, 01:47 PM

We've got all that or more. PIA that we will now have to pay for an attorney rather than do this in small claims court. She is going around and telling people this might cost her, her store. Wonder if she is prophetic????

starleneo · 09-01-2006, 02:11 PM

Go get her!!!! in court that is.

Take her foreverthing she's got so she can't hurt anymore babies and parents...

It is terrible what you and that poor baby went through. At least the baby knew it was loved in the end.
Will keep you and you little angle in our prayers

scrapindee · 09-01-2006, 06:09 PM

Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

LittleFurbabies · 09-01-2006, 06:16 PM

lol I watch too much daytime court tv, but they can sue you till the cows come home and they'll still loose. You can say what you want as long as its true. Wonder if you can counter sue them for malicious prosecution.(I think thats what its called.) Just make sure you have notarized statements from those that know you got a sick dog from them as well as documents that state that you were wronged by them. You said you said things about them on here, right? Maybe you could print those as well...

scrapindee · 09-01-2006, 07:25 PM

We will cross-sue for everything possible.

Shanatink · 09-01-2006, 07:26 PM

I definetly think she is just trying to bully you. I had a HUGE designer company (you guys would absolutely crap if you knew who) threatening to sue me and continually sending me threatening letters and it was all just a tactic to scare me. Definetly Fight back!!

I dont see how this breeder can possibly have a case, but it sounds like she is defiently not a good person.

SJK1113 · 09-01-2006, 08:05 PM

I did try to do a search for you, but all I came up with was the complaint by your husband, as you know. I didn't find anything where someone else had made any complaints, but that doesn't mean that none have been filed.

As long as you go to court with documentation from your vet stating how sick the puppy was when you got her, you really don't have to worry. Just make sure you take all records from the vet with you and make sure everything is dated. It might also help if your vet can write a letter for you summarizing the condition the puppy was in when you received it.

Good luck, and please let us know what happens!

Wow about what I mean why were they feeling like you were doing better than them!

scrapindee · 09-02-2006, 07:08 AM

We're certainly going to fight the good fight.

Waiting to hear from our insurance company. We have found a good attorney but we need to wait on the insurance company to make a decision.
