MsKatie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Is this the one you were having second thoughts about after putting the $1500 deposit on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You might be hard pressed to find someone that wants to take on a problem barker and a dog with behavioural issues, regardless of the breeder contract. well I did, but I didn't know she was like that. so you are saying you bought her as an adult with these behaviours all ready ingrained but didn't know it or are you saying you aren't going to tell others what the dog is really like?

Daisys Mum Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Any puppy is going to do a bit of digging/ chewing etc but it's how you train it from an early age that makes all the difference. Puppies are very hard work so you have to be prepared to put in the training right from the start. I know if I spent $2500 on a puppy I would make sure I did everything possible to turn it into a well balanced/behaved dog. As for the breeders terms im not a breeder so cant comment on your contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So claiming it was would be, you know, a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 If you can't be bothered/ can't deal with it then do the right (and possibly legal) thing and give her back to the breeder as you agreed to do when you ourchased her. Gosh I don't know about anyone else but before shelling out $2500 on anything I'd want to be fairly committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call that pretty even. Pink puppy its difficult to feel any sympathy for your situation. Your history here is a series of lurching from one ill considered dog purchase to another. Give the dog back, learn the expensive lesson and think good and hard about taking on any more of this breed. Maybe its just too much dog for you.

pinkpuppy Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I paid a deposit, then I was given the contract and only signed it because I wouldn't get my deposit back if I didn't sign it....there you go, signed under duress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will however, learn what its like to throw good money after bad to attempt to rectify a poor decision at the time. What the hell, its your money. Why can't you simply honour the commitment you made, LEARN FROM IT and move on. You're fast tracking yourself into being puppy buyer poison within your breed and if you want to be a breeder long term then you need to think about these issues from that perspective.

kinsella Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I think I'd feel a little more for your "predicament" if you even hinted at any responsibility for this mess. And fear of losing a deposit isn't duress, gee, I guess you're just not the sharpest tool in the shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 she goes free running about 3 times a week, gets walked every other day. Not enough of anything for a high drive dog.What actual training do you do with her on a daily basis ? Have you thought about providing a secure run so the garden digging can not happen when you're away from home? Do you take her to obedience class, or work with a private trainer? Does she have interactive toys, like the 'home alone' things?Or others from THESE FOLKS ? They are excellent to give dogs something to do, and something to think about.. If she enjoys digging, have you thought of setting up a sandpit for her? bury treats in it..and let her dig There are lots of things you can try if you want to keep the dog ..and if you don't want to/can't do anything , then, yes, you did sign a contract.
