8 month old GSD puppy PTS after only owning for 19 days !!! - Page 8

Really, I went into the whole thing fully prepared with 2 full sheets of itemised comments that were purely facts , no BS and I didn't even get to take it out of the document pouch.

I wished that I had taken my son who is a police officer with me for support instead of my husband. My son told me to just stick with facts and look them in the eye, do not raise my voice and be confident and calm but for all of my resolve it fell apart.

I felt very overwhelmed and bombarded by her accusations, couldn't believe how it happened, I was in a state of shock I think because it should have been me that had her on the back foot not the other way around.

OH and by the way Ricci is the dog in my avitar 4 weeks before going to her new (forever home).

She does not look like a dog "that apparently limped all of the time in her new home"

How much did you sell this puppy for? Was it way below what the puppy was worth? Was she spayed? Could the "average" person tell that she had soft ears? In court did you get records stating that she has actually been PTS? I have seen a lot of shady things happen to dogs and this seems like one of them. This is so fishy I can smell it here from the US. Either she and the Rottie got in a fight that was so bad she had to be PTS or the resold her. Either way this is awful!! Just some food for thought... I know the GSD rescue here locally will not place two female dogs in the same home. Only male/female pairing. 

I am so sorry this happened and glad you are changing your contract. I know my breeders contract states that no refund/exchange will be given without x-rays taken and examined by a vet of his choice. I am sure this is very haunting for you and I can't imagine what you must be going though. 

She was sold for half my normal puppy price on account that they have her speyed and yes it was very obvious that her ears were soft, in those photos she had inserts in place.

On Monday they did tell me that she had a fight with their Rottie with the Rottie requiring a couple of stitches to her face, though here at home and also when out walking she had never shown any aggression.
Yes the vet records stated that she was euthanaised and charged just under $200.00 for the proceedure

Records also states

Dog has a funny gait (she did often pace ) vet has not probably seen a GSD that paces?
Hip rad taken. Hips not great but not that terrible. All growth plates closed - this dog could be older than 9 months

Vet discussed a new surgery being done at another nearby clinic? What that was I don't know? This nearby clinic also does JPS surgery and I have had word with them before as they recommended the proceedure be done on another 4 month old puppy I sold to that area.
Also talked about Pectineal Myectomy,

Owner does not want to spend a lot of money on a young dog already lame if they can't guarantee that will fix dog
Dog significantly lame at home apparently by this I believe that the vet had not seen the dog limp or she would NOT have said that.

From all of these statements WHY wouldn't any sane person contact the breeder rather than euthanaise the puppy??????????

(Some )Vets I HATE THEM

Atleast I have a great vet ... I was at work  on the weekend and saw a lovely coated GSD puppy 12 weeks old and I heard my vet tell the owner that she was growing too fast and they needed to watch her diet :):):) I was very impressed.

this breaks my heart and Im terrified that they will probably be obtaining another dog.  They need to be banned from owning another dog.  I dont think I would have been able to hold it together if they had murdered one of my puppies for no good reason.  Can you take any action against the vet for misdiagnosis and putting a healthy young dog to sleep?

Did any one see the body? Was she tattooed are microchipped and was this positive ID recorded in the records stating euthinasia? Still doesn't add up.

joanro, I had not thought about asking the veterinary clinic if they had checked her tattoo and microchip numbers for verification of her ID BUT I WILL.

Good.

This story is still bothering me. It just doesn't make sense and I am sure whatever the truth is would make perfect sense. Did you ask the vet clinic if there were any other issues going on with the dog other than the HD that would have caused the dog to be PTS? I just don't understand who would do such a thing and then have the nerve to ask for their money back. It just doesn't add up!!

it dosnt add up to me either.  Would any sane person be that rash to kill a young animal?
