puppy replacement policy - Page 1

what happens to the old puppy if for some reason the puppy is replaced maybe due to one ball  etc ?What is normally done to the original puppy? There is no formal contract here. However the breeder promises to replace the pup. Can owner keep both the pups? Maybe the original as pet and the new for breeding?

The can of worms will now open.

this is something you need to speak to your breeder about.  Probably should have been made clear before the puppy was born, when going over the agreement/contract/guarantee or verbal agreement.  If you're not sure, you will need to ask your breeder to be sure then make your decisions.  Every breeder is different, every agreement is different.

I have seen some breeder's want the puppy/dog back but most simply require you spay/neuter the puppy/dog and once proof has been shown sets about giving you a replacement puppy/dog.

A few breeders I spoke with who require you return the original puppy/dog have said they will put them down. However, 99% of the time most breeders who require the puppy/dog be returned do this because most people are attatched to the dog and/or have invested in training, etc. and do not want to part with the dog and then they can "make you a deal" on another puppy for say 50%.

This has just been my experience when I was looking at purchasing a puppy.

They are spayed and resold as pets, hopefully with disclosures. Very few of them have it bad enough that you would consider putting them down at a young age. I have had dysplastic dogs live full and long lives, without surgery. I just quit activities that could agravate it, like jumping over hurdles. They still went on walks, ran with me on the bikes, and jumped in the cars.

Nice worms stonehaus, lets go fishin.

LOL, pleasant suprise.

Shhhhhh you'll jinx the thread.

My contract does not ask for the buyer to return their puppy,

who in their right mind would return their puppy??????

I have not had a person that did not fall in love with their pup
within a couple of hours after they got settled in at home.

Although, I did have one very distraught IDIOT, that after about 5 weeks,

could not find anything wrong with her puppy,after many tests>>> so she was getting frustrated,
until I said "would you like to return your puppy to me & I'll give you A full refund?"

And she said "Really"

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE HUMAN>>>>>>>>>>>>IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PUPPY

That lady was the best thing that could have ever happened to me, as I have changed
my puppy contract accordingly!!!!

Thanks A- s H - l-!
