freundhund Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi Bel Could you please advise which state you are in as the laws can differ between states. Personally and ethically, I never let a puppy go home the first day I meet a new puppy buyer, they have to leave a deposit and come back the following week, that is if the puppy is 8 weeks or older. Younger puppies the new owners need to leave a deposit and visit the puppy at least once before they can take the puppy home. I always diarise when the puppy owners come to visit. I do advise the puppy can be return within 48 hours with a vets certificate stating what their vet believes is an issue with the puppy. I have never had a puppy returned under those conditions. Cheers FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 You were in NSW when you sold it - that means you have to comply withthe NSW mandatory code for breeding dogs NSW http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/299803/Breeding-dogs-and-cats-code-of-practice.pdf 9.1.1.7 If within 3 days a dog or cat is not acceptable to the purchaser for any reason, the breeder is required to take the dog or cat back and refund 50% of the purchase price of the animal. This guarantee must be provided in writing to the purchaser at the point of sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 However, according to Australian consumer law - it will still depend on why they want to give it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
