NicTurtle Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 SO ANGRY!!!! I sold 5 pups in February on contract that they would be returned to me if anyone needed to rehome them. I just saw an add online where someone was trying to sell the pup I sold her for $550 (more than she paid me) and that was less than 1 month after buying the pup from me. I'm so angry right now I can't even tell you! I've tried emailing and calling and I've not gotten a response yet. Sometimes I just hate people! Her ad said she had to "rehome" due to moving. Such a load of BS! Even with a contract, I don't know how I'll find this woman if she really did move since all her info would have changed. Ugh! She even called 3 weeks after taking the pup home to tell us how much she loved her. I do not have the stomach for ever breeding again (not that I planned to). People are just too horrible!

Blue Eyes Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ive just picked up a 4 1/2 month old Husky boy to home. We are his 4th home. I could never breed either. People do not accept that puppies are full time life long committments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 You have a contract. Is it enforceable? If so, why not simply enforce the contract. But then, maybe it's not as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraB Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 You have a contract. Is it enforceable? If so, why not simply enforce the contract. But then, maybe it's not as simple as that. A lot depends on what is in the contract and how it is written. She can try and take them to court, but there's no telling if they'd even show up. Contracts are nice, but they usually don't hold up much water unfortunately. Plus you may end up paying a lot in court fees if you do decide to go after someone and the judge may still decide in their favor (happened to one breeder I know. the judge was being a total idiot). But like most responsible breeders would say, they'd fight tooth and nail to get the dog back if it was in a bad situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo depressing to hear this, but I guess we need to know what is really going on out there. I am stumped...why are people rehoming what are essentially babies? I don't know if I am missing something here: I can understand that at some point in an individual's life, something terrible might happen such as loss of business/job/then repossession of home etc - I get it! What I don't get is people re-homing pups. What's occuring there? My own humble understanding of this breed is that the real problems begin when these babies are in their teens, yet from what I am reading here, people are re-homing when these Huskies are babies. Is it the breed, or is it usual for 'pond life' to take on any puppy, then dump it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleLuka Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 same thing happened with a littermate of Luka's. The new owner abused her and then sold her on craigslist for next to nothing. A guy purchased her and once he received the papers he immediately notified the breeder. He wound up paying for all of her vet bills and is now her loving daddy but sad to say most situations don't turn out like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality of a baby puppy is noisier, messier and much more stressful than that. I guess when they face the reality of a husky puppy, their fantasy bubble well and truly bursts and they just can't handle it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTurtle Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Still no response from her so I've got to do some digging and find out if she still really does live where she did when I sold her the pup. If I could just find out if she really sold her or if she still has her I'd at least be able to find out if the new home is a good place or not. I hate the not knowing the most! I actually have this feeling she may have been trying to make money by selling her rather than actually needing to rehome her. And I had heard in the past that contracts are difficult to enforce especially as, in this case, I can't seem to contact her with the information she gave me. Thanks for the support though in letting me vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simhauu Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Could you ask a friend of yours to have an interest in buying? A little roleplaying, like she or he will go meet the "owner" and when she/he has it they'll call you saying made up stuff like Honey, I'm here, he's a beaut, we're taking it! Can my "spouse"(you) come and see him too? Then you come with the contract. It's worth a try I think? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Nicole I am so sorry/ It might be a few days late, is it a recent ad? However, if you want since I live in Northern CA, you could give me the link and I could try to "contact" the lady and make a false inquiry to see where it may lead in being able to get you a "meeting" . Seems very "sly" I know, but at the same time, I am one of those people who signed a contract for both my dogs and can't condone people doing such a thing, and I would rather go homeless and camp for a few months (as I have done before) than give up my dogs for moving and housing issues! and since they are asking more than they paid and asking for any $$ for that matter to re-home seems that they are truly scum! Arrrggghhh, my sympathies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes I have heard contracts are nothing unless they are notarized :/ I know a breeder who did go to court over someone breeding despite a contract, she won tho because she did her contract VERY well. I think you should try the sneaky was or buying the dog back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshmp5 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well, in my contracts i would put a line that clearly states, "If you do anything I do not approve of, abuse, hurt, neglect or any synonym of said words, try to rehome or resell the puppy, I reserve the right to shoot you on sight untill dead and take the puppy back." Or maybe something referring to a large piece of concrete and their head. Either way it would get the point across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTurtle Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) The ad was for 3 months ago and I just found it. I did answer the ad (send her a message through the site) as someone other than myself. Then I waited two days and called her. No answer either way. So I'm not sure if the pup has gone on to a new home or not, and don't know if I'll be able to get any response even if I try to contact again as someone else. I almost hope she's sold the pup to a better person than she is. I'd just really like to find out and its killing me to worry and not get a response. I just placed a notice on Craigslist for our area asking whoever bought her to contact me - and I placed the same photo on the ad as the woman used to sell her. Hopefully someone will see it and get in touch. Edited August 16, 2012 by NicTurtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
