While there is no Lemon Laws in MI. There is a low that requires, pet shops, wholesalers and hobby breeders (everyone that sells dogsl) to provde a health certificate when selling a dog.

At least this ad when you report it, gives you a space to explain why.

There is now a warning out, but when you try and flag with an explantion
it says , you can no longer file a complaint against this member :confused:
so i guess its out of our control and someone will come along and buy these
babies :( and be heart broken...So upsetting !!

So the health certificate would for sure disclose the fontanel & the supposed swimmer puppy syndrome?
I just can't imagine anyone paying that amount for a puppy with those issues if they were told & I would think she would know that.

Maybe once a complaint has been filed, that's the message that is given.

I looked and looked, but couldn't find the statute about hobby breeders being required to have a health certificate. All I found is the one addressing pet stores.

State Pet Shop Laws

Of course, if she sells to someone out of state, she will be bound by their laws. And if she ships the puppy, she would need a health certificate.

Bottom line, anyone looking for a puppy in those places probably knows nothing about backyard breeders. This person will jump on the "tiny' thing and not even think about asking about health, testing, genetics, etc. :(

It is amazing at how hurtful all of you have been. Did any of you bother to call my ad and pretend you were interested to find out if I would disclose about the open fontanel? No one did... Did any of you call and ask if I have a vet check on the puppy? No one did... You have judged me, yet you do not know me. I am looking for the puppies best interest... That said, I do need the money, I'm not asking that much for him and he is very healthy. One of you viewed a poor video of him and stated that he looked sickly to you. Did you think to ask me to provide a better quality video of him? No, you did not.
I have had several calls on him, and to each person I did disclose the open fontanel and none of the potential buyers were surprised. It is very common to have a tiny pup with an open font, as you all well know. I did take my pup to the vet, he is fine. When I took him to the vet about his leg, the vet thought it was swimmers syndrome and he would grow out of it, he did. His fontanel is closing since the last time I took him to the vet, he has no hydroencephalis, and no disabilities. He is a happy, healthy puppy. Please, call me, talk to me, ask my vet, or I will post my vets opinion of his health, but leave me alone. I am not the monster you have made me out to be and it is very hurtful. Yes, I did say I was going to keep the mother and breed her, and I was being sarcastic, but how do you expect me to act when I am being attacked at all sides? I will still sell him, with or without your interference, but I would like for all of you to leave me alone. Find my ads, call me and find out if I am as bad as you think I am!
I was the one that decided there were way too many puppies out there and get out of breeding, let me do this without anymore interference. I am selling the mom to a non-breeding home, I don't have the money to have her spayed but am giving a $100 refund when the new owners show me her proof of spay.
I'm begging you, leave me alone.

No, I didn't bother to call to see if you would be honest and disclose the issues with the puppy. The facts should be disclosed in the ad, like they were for five minutes before you removed them.
Your posts above were two weeks ago. So now he's perfectly fine:confused:
Everything we learned about this puppy came from you, but now that you need the money he's suddenly doesn't have these issues, they have all cleared up in two weeks!

I am willing to bet if you give proof that your turned this needy puppy over to a rescue they would leave you alone.

But there is no garentee that they will spay her. Your just offering money back if they do. What if they have bad intentions? what if they breed her anyways b/c they see they can make twice that off puppies.... did you even think about that??
