Very true. I felt I would get that response. Here is my reply. I bought a dog from Alaska and had it shipped to North Carolina. I paid $1200 for the dog. I paid about $400 for shipping, It was summer and it took two tries to get him on the plane based on temperature upon arrival in NC. I paid $80 for a crate. $1700 expenditure. The dog gets here and is a picture of health. My vet agreed. As healthy as any 14 week old puppy he had seen. All is well. A week later he is lethargic and will not eat. In the midst of testing we get a call from the breeder. Other dogs in the litter are experiencing kidney failure. Ours too. We had to put him down at 15-16 weeks old. The rest of the litter as well.
We signed a contract just like any one else does. The breeder gave me two options. Take another puppy from the next litter and they cover shipping and we buy the crate. The next option blew me away. We will refund your money, as well as the shipping with the exception of the crate, since we keep the crate. The breeder says he would tear up their contract if I would tear up mine. They refunded the money for 4 of the 6 sold, one from a subsequent litter and we took the male from a previous litter. They paid shipping and we bought another crate.
So if one breeder can stand behind their dogs like that I can't see why others would not as well. If one can do it there is no reason more can't. S
We were talking about a year after purchase not 2 weeks. Of coarse that guy should stand up when your pup had to be put down 2 weeks after you got him.
