You're missing the point about the woman not wanting the dog and wanting to
bring it back and get her $200 back.
And might I suggest the economy is just a little different now. Do you
think w/ the unemployment numbers what they are, the foreclosure rate what it
is....do you think that NOW is a good time to work things out on the
installment plan?????
(Ok, rhetorical question again. The answer is obvious.)
But I understand. It's easy to focus on the installment plan instead of
how you handled the situation. Or more accurately chose not to handle it.
I think it's called deflecting.

Gayle. this is exactly how I got started in the breed way back when..And I
suspect many other can say the same.. just because you don't have that wad
of cash in your hand doesn't mean you will be a lousy client or dog owner..
And even after this experience, I would continue the same way.. this case
wasn't about the money owing.. even if the dog were paid for , the
situation would have been the same..

It's people like Sue who give people like me an opportunity to prove
ourselves as responsible dog owners.
I was raised during the Rin Tin Tin era and like thousands of others I
always wanted a GSD. When I finally purchased my first GSD in 1973, her
breeder allowed me to buy her on the installment plan. Tasha was $300 and I
didn't make that much money back then. I not only kept up with the payments,
I ended up paying her off early.
That kind gesture gave me the opportunity to become addicted to the GSD
breed. Tasha never missed a meal, got medical treatment whenever needed, was
taken to obedience classes, we went everywhere together - she was my
constant companion - over the years she traveled thousands of miles with me,
going on all sorts of adventures.
When I purchased her, her breeders invited me to join the local WGSD club,
attend their shows, thus getting me hooked on the breed!! No, Tasha
wasn't "breed quality" even for a WGSD, but she was an awesome dog with a
sound
temperament, as smart as a whip - I couldn't have asked for a better dog.
She was an excellent ambassador for the breed.
And 36 years later I've never looked back and regretted spending so much
time dedicated to living with these nobel dogs.
So THANK YOU Sue and breeders like you who have given people like me, pet
owners, a chance!!!
Gayle & the Hooligans!

you do what you do and I will do what I do.. I have always given a new
owner
the benefit of the doubt - in 25 yrs this has rarely created any kind of
problems
2) I was not even aware that there were any concerns - the new owner, who
promised to keep in touch, did not..it was only when I contacted her that
she complained..sorry if you have unlimited time to follow all your new
owners, I actually have a life I have to take care of as well..
3) I TOLD HER TO RETURN THE DOG. but my policy has always been and always
will be no refunds after the 72 health exam period. she had an opportunity
to take the dog to the vet as soon as she got her to determine her health
and get a refund. She knew all of this at the get go..once I reminded her
of
that, I didn't hear from her again.
4) I contacted her on a monthly basis, to offer my assistance wherever I
could provide it - she was always vague about the concerns - hair breaking
off is not a crisis situation the dog needed to be pulled from. Tell me,
do
you follow your buyers to make sure they are cleaning the dogs' ears
properly?? (see #2 - I have a life).
5) I only learned of the "sores" on her body yesterday - and immediately
demanded she be returned. so, unless you have something constructive to
add
to the discussion, please keep your judgments to yourself, thank you
