what did your sick puppy have? if you suspect you bought from a puppy mill in disguise or a cruel BYB i would contact the SPCA (http://ontariospca.ca/1.shtml). We only have laws about the humane treatment of animals, not against shipping/selling a sick puppy. But if they sent a sick one to you I would want to send the SPCA all over their operation to make sure the mom and other pups are ok. They could be charged up to 10k and 5 yrs in jail occording to legeslation Bill C-22, they are guilty of "Failing to provide adequate care".

I'm not sure about covering congenital defects in a contract. Congenital defects are not necessarily hereditary. I think covering hereditary defects is something that should definitely be covered. But a congenital defect, can just be a freak thing, and those are usually noticed before the puppy goes to their new home. A congenital disorder is usually present at birth. As where a hereditary disease may not be seen until the puppy is older and already in their new home. I agree that some congenital defects are hereditary, but then their are congenital defects, which is uncontrollable and tests are not out there to rule them to be hereditary or just a freak thing. I guess maybe it's all in the way we word our contracts, thus should be specific in what diseases that we will actually take responsibility for.

I know this is an old post, but I just ran across it and had to put in my 2 cents.

There goes the government again, sticking it's nose in where it does not belong. We already have way too many laws on the books "regulating" our industrial markets. Our forefathers never meant for the government to become as huge as it has, It was put in place to protect our freedoms, not regulate business. Markets will dictate what is accepted and what is not, as in the case with puppy mills and such. The newsmedia is doing a decent job of bringing this out into the open and people are listening! I do not know ANYONE who has gotten a dog in the last 5-10 years that has bought an animal from a pet shop, save fish. It will take time, but I believe we can put them out of business! The internet is a great resource and people are very willing to research this and other things. I just think that people some people are far too willing to let the government regulate what they think is wrong, but it's not the government's job and by allowing them to pass laws to "protect" us we come closer and closer to a "Big Brother" nation.

Stepping off my podium now......

I just heard a noise......oh, never mind, it was just Thomas Jefferson rolling over in his grave!!!!

I could not agree more about big government and this bill is a PERFECT example. Who is sponsoring it and why? I bet it is a PETA group that means well, but is not taking the time to consider the whole picture. You breeders in West Virginia and surrounding states need to email and call this Congressman. And get ALL your clients to do the same. I promise that this Congressman could care less and is only sponsoring because a large block of voters is pushing it. PUSH BACK!! In government policy, silence is DEADLY! The squeaky wheel always get the grease so start your protests right now or you will find this thing passed and done before you know it.

And if you find out who is pushing it, call them, too. See if you can work together on this thing to tighten it up a bit. Let them know that breeders would be willing to help draft it instead of fighting it, but they need to understand where you are coming from.

Anyway, too long....sorry!!!
