Okay... Obviously if you say you are an attorney who knows, then, your state is not one with a Puppy Lemon Law. So your legal responsibility only has to go as far as your contract. Beyond that, things become an ethical responsibility. And you are trying to get the pup back because ____________. You fill in the blank.
As for your utility bills, they may be unrealistically high. However, the bottom line still comes back to having enough money to both live day to day and to be able to care for your Chihuahuas. If you are having trouble making ends meet on a day to day basis, then, you are going to have big time financial problems - that could mean the life of one of your Chihuahuas - should a breeding emergency arise. As a personal feeling : if I were forced to keep my home at just 56 degrees both day and night for the entire Winter Season, I sure wouldn't be whelping Chihuahua puppies. That's far too cold for Chihuahua babies. If I couldn't afford to raise the thermostat above 56 degree, I would also realize that I couldn't afford to breed Chihuahuas. From a lot of first hand experience, I know how expensive doing a proper job of raising Chihuahuas can be. I love this Breed too much not to do provide them with the best of everything possible. To me, that includes a warm home. I feel bad for you and your Chihuahuas always being cold. 56 is horribly COLD!!! As for the pup's new owner, something does sound rather odd there, too. Under normal circumstances, a buyer would not hesitate to give out their vet's name. My own buyers provide the name and phone number of their vet before they go home with one of my pups. It's one of the references I require. How much did you know about this woman before she took your puppy? Did you interview her? What happened with the other 3 pups that were sold? BTW, how old are these puppies? You never did say. Liz I ama liscenced atty. I know law if nothing else. And in 13 years of breeding this is the second complaint I have had. As an atty I can tell you I am on solid legal ground. I dont even owe her a buy back. I WANT to do that to try to be reasonable. She will jot even give me her vet namecand number so I can contact the vet to see what is going on. My vet saw the pup 6 days before it left and gave a clean bill if health. Now, as far as electric bill....google......ky......even the legislature has convened a special committee to find out WHY in the world electric bills havd sky rocketed. No ond can pay them right now. Government called in the utilities commisioner to testify as to WHY. It is a state wide problem right now. Even for Attorneys like me ------------------------------------ We are now on Facebook!
