Refunds- yes or no and when and what if?? - Page 11

Would seem to be both of you, to me. It became evident you two are "neighbors" and I understand your tendancy to defend Jenni, no matter what nasties she throws against her detractors, and particulary myself, and that's what a good friend does, sure.

But this ending still is the right thing to do.

Don't ask, don't tell. Pretty simple.

I don't necessarily defend everything she says or does but yes, I think her heart is in the right place when it comes to the dogs and the dogs are always my first priority.  While her first impulse might not be the right one in some situations, I think that she does try to think things through and generally comes to right conclusion eventually.

The bigger issue for me is the nonsense over contracts and guarantees.  Rare is the breeder who would give someone a refund; most opt for replacing the pup knowing full well that few people are going to give up a dog with whom they're already in love.  I wouldn't so what's the point?  Those who can are clearly less interested in the dogs themselves than they are in whatever the dog can provide them in the form of recognition or a boost to their egos. 

If I carefully study a breeding from which I am considering a pup and I think that the pairing is a good idea, how is an issue that manifests itself not my fault every bit as much as the breeders?  I understand than many people don't have my experience, hence the contracts and guarantees...something to make novices feel good about their decisions.  The only real guarantee is to buy an already proven adult dog; I accept that as a reality of life if I choose to buy a puppy and commit to living with that decision for entirety of the dog's life.

Keith, are we neighbors? 

If you threaten your boss on Wednesday, because you haven't been given your paycheck that comes on Friday, per your contract, do you then then pat yourself on the back when it shows up on Friday, convincing yourself that you wouldn't have gotten paid without your Wednesday tantrum?  LMAO

I was referring to your posts about evening walks with Caleb, where you would "dawdle at the corners" waiting for Keith and Axel, or that is how it sounded to me.  So, go ahead and laugh, because I know this is actually killing you. 

All the trash talk has no effect on me, just so you know.

  KEITH said the key word of all this whole thread


   the two words....NOVICES and  EXPERIENCED........FRAME THAT SENTENCE YOU  posted, KEIth..


  that made more sense that all the ramblings here.

  NO refunds

  WE experienced do not do that....USUALLY>...all depends....   NOT a garment worn by SENIORS!

YR

No refunds are fine YR, if you make that known up front. 

The rest of your post is just ... ramblings.

Oh, Mylanta. Wow, Bee, that was way over your head, apparently. He was making a stalker joke, and I made an age joke back at him. Yowsers. We don't even live in the same state that I'm aware of. I have no idea where he lives, but I'd bet it's somewhere in or near Indiana, given the recent charity.

YR, you're right, of course, but you do what you need to do to ensure other parties will do what is best for the dog. If that means money, then money it is. The dog is more important than the principle or the money. 

Well, then, what's the big deal? It was an easy thing to mistake, why you have to be so nasty all the time is beyond me.
