My lovely idiot DP came home with a supposedly four month old rottie puppy (please no rottie comments!) on thursday - i was horrified to say the least (not because of the breed!) because im not ready for another dog. Anyway, DP really wants a dog of his own and desperately misses our old boys so i agreed we could keep him. BUT the dog was just not right, it was kennel reared and had clearly had no human contact, nor been in a house. It was nervous and as it turned out had aggression issues surrounding food - the breeder knew this but didn't pass on this information clearly to my DP. To be honest, i wouldnt have touched the dog with a barge pole in the first place but DP acted on the spur of the moment and we have had a dog from this breeder in the past.
The other dog we had from them was a star, he was 8 weeks old, came with its first vaccinations and 6 weeks insurance which is pretty much par for the course for a good breeder. This dog came with none of that. When DP took it back the woman said to him "oh yes, he was quite nervous" i mean, WTF - he explained that we had a three year old DD.
So anyway, when the dog tried to take my face off for defending my little jack russel i insisted it go back and DP agreed. Took him back, they offered a replacement but i have lost confidence in them - they have refused a refund. IVe not contacted them yet as i wanted to find out if i have any legal come back at all?? Spoke to a vet friend and he said kennel club will do nothing, even though pup was registered.
