Refunds- yes or no and when and what if?? - Page 6

EVERYONE would get money back from me if needed,......

"...IF needed. "

That's always where the problem lies. Usually depends on how big the "IF" is, and who gets to be the one to determine, there is in fact an "IF" at all.

My point is, IF one agrees on a refund to a buyer for whatever reason, which I'm pretty sure you've mentioned is something you prefer to do when things go sour, then just do it, and then take care of the damage, if feasable. That is how it is done. 

I might be crazy but didn't you just say you'd rather give back $$$ just to keep the cry babies off your back? Or something like that?

Candid Camera again? I'd be better off trying to teach quantum physics to my goldfish

 
Jenni, why do you feel as if you need to talk down to us like that? It's insulting.

Not so long ago you were boasting about how very careful you are when you place your dogs and that was why you never got dogs back when many of us did.  Now it looks like you have had to take back 2 - The dog with the UAP and the one you talked about here.  Same litter? 

Not everyone, Blitzen. Just people who don't read and then make wildly inaccurate, ridiculous judgments. Simply read the thread, and then you tell me why I might be frustrated that it took 3 pages for you to grasp the concept that this thread wasn't all about that dog! How many times did I specifically say that? (Rhetorical)

Beetree, I don't understand how your brain works at all. How could you take that to mean what you just posted??? Not all dogs need to be rehomed or taken back by the breeder. "IF NEEDED" means if needed. Not sure what's so hard about that. Money isn't that important to me, and it's a great way to entice less-scrupulous people to do the best thing for the dog, as I have found those sorts to be highly money-motivated, so I will pay anyone to get a dog back IF NEEDED, meaning IF THE DOG WERE TO NEED TO COME BACK. I really hope that clears that up for you three ladies and you can move on with your day. Off to work. 

And that would be anyone who doesn't agree with you, wouldn't it?

Easy Jenni, my brain see's what a loophole "IF NEEDED" really can be. It certainly can be many things to you, too.

None of this is hard on me Jenni, but I'm not sure we can say the same for you. I'm really not trying to antagonize you, but the fact is, you posted the topic and guess what, I'm still being allowed to comment whenever I feel like it.

That can always change, LOL

Initially I didn't realize Jenni already has the dog back, so my apologies.  However, I still say refund first, that is the right thing to do.  The cost of fixing the dog IMHO has nothing to do with it as it is not T hunde's fault.

I also just saw the ad, and seriously, how can anyone with any conscience after seeing the xrays, sell this dog?!  For money, whatever small fee means.
Is this AFTER the operation or as he now stands?
He is a beautiful dog, and this is all very unfortunate.
 

Corrado has had a rough start in life. A series of circumstances has brought him back to me and I am trying to find him a FOREVER home who will understand that while he may have a physical limitation (or he may not- he may be 100% sound- it all depends on how he heals!), he has the temperament of a working dog and needs the mental and physical stimulation a working dog requires- he just may need it tailored to him, which is why I say "light SchH". He could definitely track, he's great at OB (EXTREME EXTREME food drive), but probably should not do the repeated jumps of higher level training. He is extremely sweet and wants to be with you and is anxious to please. He is good with children, other dogs, and ok with cats. He does chase them but can be called off easily.  He's a handsome bicolor, fairly large and has growing to do yet. He is totally housebroken, alerts you when he needs to go outside, is used to sleeping in a crate and has been started in SchH.  Corrado would prefer a home where someone is home frequently; an active family would be great for him. He will be available very soon; small adoption fee applies.

You actually made me sick. Congrats!

Assuming the dog has the necessary surgery first, I don't think it is unreasonable to make a charge if you are placing the dog with someone you don't know personally, paying even a token fee will put off the impulsive "get it because it is free" adopters and shows at least some commitment from the future owner.  Placing a dog free or cheap is even more fraught with risk than selling one at normal price, there are only so many precautions you can take and asking for a donation in this circumstance sounds sensible to me.

Not to mention that advertising a dog for free brings out the buyers from research facilities, fronting as "nice pet homes".

Alrighty then! The sewing circle and their shared brain has dictated that I am now immoral/unethical for placing an unfortunate pup as a pet, after investing $6500.00usd of my own funds to make sure he doesn't pay for the mistakes of others. I see my money-making scheme has been exposed and I hang my head in shame. He must die. Off to find my pistol, do the right thing, and head off to work.  I thank you all for putting me back on the right track and I promise to repent.

See? Good really does triumph over evil.
