Breeding Questions & Information / Re: Legal Action against Breeders?

The contract is as follows,
The animal is guaranteed to be free of hereditary defects visible by 24 months of age, including heart murmurs. Determination of what constitutes a hereditary defect is to be by the unanimous agreement of two veterinarinans agreeable to both parties. One of these veterinarians to be a tenuted faculty member of an accredited university teaching hospital or Board Certified in the applicable specialty. Cost of the opinions are to be assumed by the buyer. If the dog is found to have hereditary crippling defects, seller has the option of refunding 50% of the purchase price or, of replacing with the next like available prospect ot mutually agreeable animal provided the living dog and it's registration papers are returned to the seller.

I have notified the breeder of these problems, and after getting mad, she said she would give me $500 without having to return the dog, but I did not think that was good enough. I have also had a Board Certified Vet send his analysis to the Breeder's vet. He recommend never breeding Eddy's parents again. Again, the breeder, when called will not talk to people who ask about the hip certification.

I live in colorado. I also thought about taking the breeder to small claims court, because the the odds are better there. The whole thing seems like a touchy subject it seems. I also posted a complaint on Tom Martinos trouble shooter web site, which I encourage all of you to do, the breeder also breeds horses and she is already posted on that site for trouble with them.

Breeding Questions & Information / Legal Action against Breeders?

I have a 18 month old newfoundland puppy who has had 6 total operations. 5 on his eyes, and 1 TPO on his his good hip. I admit, I bought the dog when I moved to a new city with the only breeder I could find easily. I thought I did the proprt research, but after 6 visits to the vet with allergy problems, eye problems, and clicking hips, I joined a Newfoundland club that told me the truth about the breeder. This breeder did not do the proper joint and health certifications on the dog and mated the dogs more than they should be. Granted I did not want a show quailty dog, but with upwards of $10,000 spent to date, and the poor quailty of life my dog has, I need advice on legal action.  I did sign a contract with the breeder, which covers her in most cases. That is where I need any advice. The state I live in does not have a puppy lemon law, but her contract mirrors most lemon law's in the country. I am seeking action becasue although she does have a sound contract, she does not live up to the standards that would warrant such a contract. Any advice would be wonderful!!! Thanks for reading!
