I have almost always had a dog. Since the beginning of 2016, I have been without a dog for the first time, since I was very young. I love my cats but a dog forces me to get outside and walk and get a little bit of exercise. I know I can walk my cats but I won't. Anyway, I need a non-shedding dog because my female has an allergy to dog dander.
I gave a deposit on a dog to show and breed and signed a contract in August. I e-mailed the breeder recently because after 5 months, she still cannot give me, even an approximate date that I'll have a puppy. I chose this breeder because she is supposed to be very reputable. In the meantime, several litters have come and gone and all I know, at this point, is that some of the dogs from which I might get a puppy have not even beed bred yet.
Breeders co-own breeding dogs and after questioning the breeder about when I'd get a puppy, she got annoyed and said she didn't think she could co-own with me. At that point, I knew that she was looking to get out of the co-ownership agreement.
I was originally told, and I have it in black and white, that I did NOT have to show a dog in order to breed it. After thinking about it, I e-mailed her and told her that, having some medical issues, I didn't think that traveling every weekend long distances, alone, was a good idea. I also told her that, although my parents were gong to pay the expenses for the dog, that I could not afford a full-time dog show handler. I also wanted a list, in advance, of fertility/in vitro sepcialists because there is a one very large vet hospital one state away from me and I cannot access some of the vets because I have an inner ear issues and cannot use an elevator. HOWEVER, there are hundreds of vets in my state and the two adjacent states, that I can and have accessed, with no difficulties. I used to take my dog to a cardiologist that was 2 hours away.
So, now, she's using everything I said as an out, to refuse me a breeding dog and hence a co-ownership. She's saying that because of my medical issues and my financial issues (because I cannot afford a full-time handler on top of costs associated with breeding), she does not feel "comfortable" selling me a breeding dog (for fear that she won't get her money out of the deal) but that she would feel comfortable selling me a pet.
I NEVER agreed to a pet dog and she is not acting in the welfare of the animal, only in the welfare of her own financial interests. So, she has my deposit and although she is refusing to give me the kind of dog we agreed upon, will not relinquish my deposit unless and until someone else gives a deposit for a show dog! Now, I'm going to need to pay a lawyer to get my money back, then sue her for the cost of the attorney. Everything happens to me!
