I definitely want to keep her and in my letter I said my preference is to split the vet bills 50/50, but if she still wants to barter a puppy to me in the future at the full cost of the vet bills I would accept this and want it in writing. I am going to give her a call and request she send the...

Yes, I went and picked her up, she is 3 yrs old.

Going to court is absolutely the last thing I want to do and will attempt another conversation after she receives the letter. Also, I did not write anything in the letter about legal action.

Embarrassingly I don't remember.

This is my first time to post a thread in a forum and didn't realize how it can take on a life of its own.

What I have decided to do is revisit the issue with the breeder via a letter and attach copies of the vet bills. Toscas Mom if financial reimbursement is denied I will get in touch with you.

Yes, I have access to the check on my online banking account which the breeder deposited for the dog. No sales receipt only a Pet Ownership Certificate copy from the Tattoo Registry- Tattoo-A-Pet. On the back of the copy it has a Transfer of Ownership form.

I was wondering if "ownership" still being in the breeder's name would make a difference in regards to obtaining financial compensation. The breeder is going to be paying for the dog show entries. Yes, I did sign a contract but she was in a hurry and wanted to get a copy and then would mail it...

This was an unintentional and unfortunate situation that occurred for all of us-breeder, dog, and myself. The breeder admitted not giving me the information to bring the dog back if a health issue should arise. Based on the information I acted in the best interest of the dog and now there is...

Yes, the breeder has. Thank you for the link to CA laws.

I originally went to look at a younger female the breeder had, but she was not the right temperment for my older female. As I was about to leave the breeder said there was another female that would be a better fit, though hadn't thought of selling her desiring to finish her first. And asked if I...

Toscas Mom, I appreciate all the information you are providing regarding small claims. It is one option I am considering. I emailed my question to the AKC and the response was " I would think that the breeder would be responsible if the vet can certify it is a pre-existing condition and if...

Thanks for clarifying my situation Buddy's Parents. My only intention to post my question here was to obtain information on what my rights and options are as a buyer in this situation. NOT to trash the breeder, if I did I would have mentioned them by name.

She has both a fungal infection and a bacterial one which can be highly resistant to antibiotics and extremely difficult to treat. At the time I called concerned about her ear she was adamant there was no problem. I am not new to owning a dog and understand the financial responsibility involved...

Thank you for the suggestion, I think this is a good option.

The breeder initially didn't offer her for sale because she wanted to finish her and asked if I would be willing to bring her to a dog show(s) which will be occurring in my town, as well as leaving her name as owner of the dog until she finished. Because I trusted and respected her I had no...

I have never shown a dog before, what is the advantage of finishing her?

She was in a hurry to get to an appointment and is going to mail me contract, so unfortunately I don't recall what the contract states.

I apologize for the length of this post but I would really appreciate any feedback on how to handle the following problem. 2 weeks ago I purchased a 3 year old female vizsla from a nationally reputable breeder that I have bought a dog from before. The following day Haley was shaking and...
