They won't give him back, they want the money AND to keep him. If I could get
the dog back by giving them the money I would in a second, but this is not what
they want.

I have a difficult puppy person who from day one was difficult when they asked
to negotiate the price, which of course I refused since he was my show pick
male, and I had no issue with keeping him. They later agreed to my price
since they visited other breeders whose pups were much less, and saw the
difference in the quality of dogs. Soon after they informed me they were
entitled to the purchase price, AND to keep him due to having coccidia, round
worms and he would need emergent hernia surgery since their vet stated the
pup was "unfit for purchase". My vet saw him, explained these are common
puppy issues, the hernia was extremely small and may close on its own so he
felt the pup had not been unfit for purchase, and the hernia was very very
slight and could be corrected for $75 when he is neutered at 6 months, and did
not need surgery now. I question their vet practice (known to be against
breeders, advocate shock collars
for training, etc.),
and extreme costs and practices (they wanted immediate surgery and quoted a
price almost triple that my vet had said). The girlfriend agreed with me, but
she said convincing her boyfriend to change vets would be hard. At the time,
I offered again and again to take the pup back (he was the show pick ad an
extreme mover) due to circumstance and her boyfriend being so difficult to deal
with, and felt they were not ones who would listen if anything else should
happen. They chose to keep him.
Well, I was right, it seems they stayed with the vet, and just paid an
additional $175 when he was neutered for the hernia, and pup is now 6 months,
and has a "low rear" and were told he may need "braces" to correct its hocks.
Supposedly, they have an orthopedic doctor who says this is a "congential"
defect, and her and her boyfriend are requesting I refund the full purchase
price. The boyfriend wants me to
call him, which I refuse sinceof my prior dealings with him, and have asked
them to speak with their orthopedic dr. and have not yet heard back. Their
email is below, and any thoughts/experiences with this would be great, since
according to NJ Law "congential" defects are covered up until 6 months of
purchase, but I just can't see how this can be congential, its just a pup will
alot of rear.
Hope this email finds you well. I have started a new job, and this is my new
email address so you have it for your records. I wanted to reach out to you to
make you aware of a few things that have been going on. A few
months after we brought Sarge home, he seemed to be walking a little
funny on his back legs, but Chris and family would just say itâ??s his
puppy clumsiness and brush it off. As he is getting older, it hasnâ??t
gotten any better, it actually got worse. We recently had him neutered
and his hernia repaired (which was
$175.00) and I decided to have the
vet check out his back legs and do x-rays. After seeing him walk, and
seeing the x-rays, the vet advised it was definitely NOT normal and we
needed to see an orthopedic surgeon. Today, Sarge had that appointment.
On a plus side, we were relieved to hear he does not need any surgery
but the orthopedic surgeon and doctor informed us that he has very
abnormal confirmation in his back end. He doesnâ??t stand properly and
apparently he is much lower to the ground in terms of stance then he
should be. They advised that this abnormality on his back legs is
causing issues with the hoc on his hind feet and he is even growing
additional padding to try and compensate. The doctors said that this is
congenial and due to his genes, and he will need extensive physical
therapy, and most likely ankle braces to re strengthen his muscles back
there. If it isnâ??t treated
properly now, he will always overcompensate
and can cause permanent damage in addition to other health problems.
Â
I spoke to a Physical Therapist a few hours ago and we are taking him
there in a week for his first consultation, but as you can imagine this
has caused a pretty significant financial strain on us. First Sarge had
the cocidia, then roundworm, then the hernia, and now this the most
serious of them all. I do not think for one second you intentional sold
us a sick dog and whether you are aware or not of your dogs having any
issues, sadly we have one that does and its going to cost us a
SIGNIFICANT amount of money, very early on his life. We love Sarge with
all our hearts and we will do everything we can to make him better  but
in fairness to us we would like some compensation back. We agreed to
paying such a HIGH amount to you because of the bloodline and medical
history. Paying
$1800+ and getting a 6 month old puppy with some serious medical issues
wasnâ??t what we had in mind. As you know there are tons
of dogs at shelters and rescues that need homes and are significantly
cheaper and seem to have no health problems.
Â
If you want to talk about this more via the phone, please call Chris on
his cell phone. We are hopeful you will recognize the
predicament this has put us in, and do what we think is fair in
reimbursing us the original cost for him.
