So glad you pointed all of this out in clear language Liz. Just as described, this is spot on for the agenda of all the forthcoming bills. They ultimately will price you off the wall and put you out of business. Absolutely property.......that should be taken care of none the less Molly Member GSDCC, GSDCA, GSDC of Beaumont, life member CKC In a message dated 3/4/2013 9:01:10 A.M.

Can you imagine a puppy buyer who buys a dog and a few years later the dog gets _____ (fill in the blank, immune problem, epi, cancer, epilepsy, torsion, aspergillosis, etc. etc.) and their Vet says it's genetic. You will now be on the hook for treatment and we all know that treatment with some is "Vets gone Wild". Then if the dog doesn't make it, you will now be sued for emotional distress because you produced a "genetic timebomb" as I've heard some vets call pure bred dogs. A replacement puppy or purchase price refund will no longer be adequate for some. People need to look ahead and understand the laws of "Unintended Consequences" when dealing with "feel good" legislation. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
