Todd since you're in Canada how do your laws mirror ours?
does your government in anyway enforce anything like this bill is suggesting for a particular state.


the bill in a positive light:

while I believe in protecting the buyer i also believe in spelling out which diseases are meant by it i do see it as a way of trying to affect and hopefully discourage backyard breeders...aid in stopping puppy mills/retail puppy buyers
and hopefully encourages MORE BREEDERS to TEST their dogs BEFORE breeding in order to reduce chances of having unhealthy pupppies
along with keeping sanitary kennel conditions.


Negative:
and i was wondering, many stores have a refund policy and while we do have things like lemon laws....this proposed law dictates the refund policy for all breeders rather than being a guide/aid. possibly giving the state too much say?

I am still a BUYER myself but i do try to look at both sides of the coin
as well as subsequent affects down the line.
where does such affect puppy end up if the purchaser doesn't want it but doesn't have to bring it back to seller ?
and how many times have we had vets differ to if a puppy is ill and with what?

me, i'd want things more spelled out in detail as it affects both buyer and seller
