Look at these hips - Page 13

If Chrissy can't accept a replacement puppy right now, IMO the only fair thing to do would be to refund the purchase price to her plus the shipping. Given this little guy was severely overshot when he was shipped here, I have to think this would not be a breeder I would want to buy a dog from or a breeder I would ever recommend to anyone. I find it especially telling that not only did the breeder ignore the bite, so did the broker here in the US. Did I understand that right? Sounds like a big cluster $%@$ to me.

I'm with Jim, Chrissy is a far nicer person that I would be under rthe circumstances. (I hope it's OK that I called you Jim)


 

I am assuming that "replacement" means returning the pup and getting a replacement.    

Usually it is a return for replacement, but in this case I doubt the breeder wants the dog back. He already offered replacement and offered to let me keep Kaiser when I let him know about his dental issues.

Blitzen,
LMAO.  Of course you can and you obviously know the rules when it comes to calling me "Jim."  I am flattered. 

Jim

Unless of course you are a mod, then it is slam. 

Chrissy,
Thanks for clarifying that.  That is far better than asking for return of the pup, that makes a bitter pill a little easier to swallow.  Isn't there a litter mate available for replacement? 

Whew. I'm glad I got something right and that at least one thing isn't as bad as it seemed.

Why would a breeder want a dog with HD and an overbite? I could understand a breeder requesting xrays, etc., but why would you want someone's dog back? It's not a car. Scummy breeders never want to just return the $. That cuts into profit. Wonder how this messes with their pristine hip rating. Or doesn't it count if it wasn't sent to ofa?

I DO know the rules, that's why I asked

No, not a mod.


 

I would say MOST breeders don't want to return the money. Most of them don't like to be called scummy, though I would agree. 

They don't want the dog back; they just want to use it as a leveraging chip. People don't usually want to send the dog back, so they avoid standing behind their guarantee. I'm speaking generally here, not about anyone in particular. How many breeders really offer a "no strings" guarantee? 

Well the breeder kept a male and female and the broker kept a male, but the broker already told me before he didn't want to give me his pup and I didn't insist.
