Why won't you pay for the Vet bills? You admit the pup got sick while under your care. Does this mean that if she returned the pup to you, that you wouldn't take the pup to a Vet and pay to make it healthy again? Why would you purposely sell a sick puppy to begin with, if you are so concerned about your reputation?
To be honest, you should not have bred dogs to begin with if you can't supply adequate heat for them. You should not be breeding dogs at all, if you have no intentions of giving them Vet care when you know that is always a possibility when breeding dogs. The woman is obviously in love with the puppy, like so many of us get when we buy a puppy and yes I think she is looking for you to pay the Vet bill and yes you should be made accountable to pay it. You just labeled yourself as a typical Back Yard Breeder. A good breeder would have had the mother and all the pups checked by a Vet before they are sold, regardless if the pups were sick or not. A good breeder would not breed dogs knowing they can't give them the extra heat that they need. A good breeder makes sure that he/she has money set aside for Vet bills Before they breed. A good breeder doesn't just breed to make money off of livestock, they breed to better the breed. -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: 2/11/2011 10:25:24 PM To: [email protected]; chiexpressions; chihuahuas@yahoogroups com; chrisdbf Subject: [Chihuahuas] oppinion? Would like some oppinions here. Sending this to Christian groups for moral oppinion, breeder's group for the breeder's oppinion and non-breeder chi group for the buyer's oppinion...covering all my basis :-) My pups were ready to go Monday, and they went quick! 3 of the available 4 were sold before they were ready to go! However, last week was extremely cold here. I'm gonna be very frank and honest. I can not afford to keep my heat very high. My temps inside my home are set at 56. We keep covered..its the best I can do. Anyhow, a couple of the pup's got a cold. We had already arranged pick up of the pup on Sunday so when I met her we discussed the cold. She did not have to take the pup but I told her, if she wants it, take it to the vet and if the vet says anything is wrong, she can return it and I will give her her money back. Monday I called her to see what the vet said. She said the vet said the pup had broncitis but was otherwise healthy and gave it some antibiotics and said he would be fine in a few days. Again, I offered her a refund and return of the pup. She said no. Said he would be fine. My contract states you have 72 hours to tell me you want to return the pup and it states that if there is any health concerns, remedies are limited to buy back of pup...I will not pay vet bills. Today she calls says it has been a week (actually only been 5 days) said the pup was still not better and that vet wanted to do x-rays ect and said it was genetic. I told her it absolutely was not genetic. I also told her, although it had been longer than 72 hours, in order to preserve my good name, I am STILL willing to give her her money back and she can return the pup. She said they would wait and see what the test say and then decide, then hung up. So I texted her and told her I would keep the offer for a refund open another 24 hours....which will be 6 days total when my contract clearly states 72 hours. I do not know what she is wanting. I think maybe she expects me to pay the vet bill, I don't know....but what more should I do? I will NOT pay vet bills. I do accept that the pup got sick under my care which is why I have extended the refund time. But at some point, I have to be able to say the deal is done. Marsha
