When it's time to sell the puppies.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lady of Yorkies · 09-15-2005, 02:00 PM

How long do you reserve the price of the puppy? How long do I need to keep the money incase they bring the puppy back? If they keep the puppy for a few months and find something wrong with it, how do I decide how much to give back? After the vet confirmation of course. Sylvia

Because you checked your puppies with your own vet, you know that they are healthy. So whats the problem? You know your puppies are healthy.. and your vet signed a health certificate stating so, Right?? But I would keep some, in reserve. Just in case!!

Lady of Yorkies · 09-15-2005, 02:13 PM

Yes, they will be healthy or not for sale. But I don't know how far back some of the health problems could pop forward. The breeder of my male says there are no problems with knees in his family. I like her but that doesn't make her tell me the truth. I just want to be safe, not sorry. I want to buy a kennel for my dogs with some of the money but I have to make sure I'm doing right by the puppies. Sylvia

I understand and I agree with you, But you just never know what will pop up in the future. Its nice to see that you care. I sold my puppies a few weeks ago, I told the people that they had to bring them to their vet and have them checked. If their vet found anything I would offer to either have it fixed or return their money. Other than that I think thats all that you can do. Of course for defects, but that could take many years to show up. Then what would you do??

What about the health guarantee for the pups ?

Lady of Yorkies · 09-15-2005, 08:01 PM

Would something like the knees be under the genetic guarantee? I know the liver shunt would. Sylvia

feminvstr · 09-15-2005, 08:22 PM

here is a portion of my contract

Sale is contingent on full veterinary approval within 72 hours

If this AKC pure bred dog does not have your veterinarian's approval, please return to breeder/seller's premises with the period of time designated above for a full refund. If this dog develops a serious hereditary disease specifically leg perthes or liver shunt from one year of purchase, a full refund or another puppy shall be given as a replacement whichever is mutually agreeable. No refund will be given after that time. All sales are final and no refund will be given if the dog is returned for any reason other than a failure to pass the vet check or a hereditary disease up to 1 year.

Breeder/Seller and Buyer certify by signing this bill of sale that this dog is not sold for resale purposes and that the breeder will be notified if it is necessary for this dog to change hands and right of first refusal will be given to the breeder/seller.

the entire contract is on my site http://yorkiepassion.com/contract.htm

Lady

You should have a written health guarantee/contract for your new puppy parents to sign if you don't already. It should outline what you cover and for what period of time, as well as the recourses you/buyer have in the event the puppy falls ill. This makes proper procedure clear for everyone and will (hopefully) avoid litigation in the event that a problem arises. I would say hold onto any money for the short-term incubational health guarantee (if you guarantee against incubational conditions for 7 or 14 days, hold the money until that time has expired). You never know what will arise with puppies, or when, and it's not feasible to hold onto the money you made for years while you wait for the puppy to develop some kind of hereditary condition!

If you want a copy of my health guarantee (it's legalese-y), PM me.

If you give a one year guarantee against a genetic problem, which I do, then I do not consider the money mine until one yr of age.

Lady of Yorkies · 09-16-2005, 11:10 AM

That is what I was thinking. If I take the money and put it down on a kennel and one of the puppies comes up with a problem it would be difficult to come up with the money if that is what the new parent wanted. Sylvia

whispersmom2 · 09-16-2005, 11:15 AM

I do the same as Pat. My dogs have their own credit acct and they are not very good about paying their own bills, BUT, seriously, I never promise another puppy only a refund as spelled out in my agreement. Personally, I would think more than twice before taking a replacement puppy from a breeder. That is just my opinion but I would wonder what the new puppy might carry..

Lady of Yorkies · 09-16-2005, 11:17 AM

That does make sense but at the same time if they don't offer another pup wouldn't you think that maybe they knew all the time and tell everyone you knew who was looking for a puppy? Sylvia
