I'm sorry your lost your puppy, I'm sure it was difficult.
However, you knew it stated in your contract that a necropsy was required and chose not to have one performed. There's no way to prove how the puppy died so as other said it may be an environmental problem and not genetic. If my puppy would have died I would have done everything I could to figure out what caused it.
I understand the breeder not giving you another puppy for free or even at a reduced price. I'm sure she has bills and such to pay and perhaps giving a $2k puppy away isn't doable. Especially since nothing can be done to prove how the previous puppy died.
If breeders offered warranties separately/on top of the price of the dog, I would never purchase one. So instead of $1200, the dog costs me $800 without a warranty...I'm game.
The problem with the warranties is that they either replace the dog after you give it back, or they give you another one while you are still taking care of the first one. So...either you're parting with an animal you've grown to love and is part of your family, or you're getting another one who might not fit into your family, get along with your other dog, or you might not be able to afford (vet care, food, ect). Also, I probably wouldn't want a dog from that breeder anyways because if they're using the same lines, there is a chance of the same issue coming up again.
Anyways, a breeder shouldn't have to do anything the contract doesn't state. So they shouldn't have to meet you half way or give you another dog just because or even for PR reasons. It's not Walmart replacing a $20 widget that cost $5 to make or even a $100 widget that cost $25 to make. It's a dog that is valued at $2000.
I'll just give my honest opinion.
I agree with Sue, I would never expect the breeder to do anything without at least some evidence. I don't think a necropsy is unreasonable, cause of death is important even if it's simply undetermined and therefore listed as a cardiac event or the like. At least you've ruled out obvious causes
If you had rushed the dog to the vet, done the necropsy, followed up with all the paperwork to the breeder and there was a genetic cause linked which was covered explicitly in the written guarantee and THEN the breeder blew it off I would say I wouldn't be happy with the breeder at all. But in this case with the information you're providing, I have to side with the breeder and say it's a living creature and things happen so there are too many variables to make a clear case that it was something that the breeder should feel responsible for. If the breeder offered you any compensation, even 50% off a new puppy or dog I would think that generous.
I knew going in that GSD's have multiple genetic issues so I did choose a good breeder with a proven record and read the contract carefully. My contract covers both health and temperament but honestly depending on the exact situation I would simply inform the breeder and then either keep the dog and care for it or euthanize myself depending on the prognosis and not expect anything. If the breeder offered compensation either in money or a new dog I would be grateful and happy
I think it's just a bad situation overall where none of the cards played were in your favour. I'm sorry for your loss and hope the new dog has a long and healthy life
I have some mixed feelings about this.....
If a six month old puppy of my breeding died, I would have wanted to know WHY! Even some simple bloodwork to see if there were toxins present, infection and a basic necropsy to see if a vital organ was compromised....not a full out CSI level one...but some effort on the part of the owner to understand why a 6 month old seizured and died. Heck - dogs have gotten balls stuck in their throats, and died, while apparently seizuring....I know 2 people who lost dogs that way.
So it is not just a following the contract issue for the sake of following it - there is a REASON to want to know!!! I am sure you are troubled by not knowing why this puppy died!!!!
There is an assumed risk on buying any living animal - horse, cat, dog - no one breeds faults on purpose - out of ignorance yes, but on purpose? No....
That all being said, I would probably do something for one of mine who lost a puppy unless I really felt that it was avoidable or the person had already proved to be a royal off the wall whack job
Now - I know of a litter where 5 of 7 pups were reported to be having seizures....by 4/5 months old...I spoke to the owners of 3 of those pups...I know the pedigree - it was a litter imported in utero (but the dam has had 2 more litters as this breeder breeds every female every heat and probably paid alot of money for the female!), I know the breeder.....2 of the people who I spoke to were looking for new pups having had to PTS the pups by 6 months old as the seizures were uncontrollable....in that case, yes the breeder should do something substantial.....even though this was no one's FAULT....except maybe the seller of the top rated female as I would suspect some knowledge on their part that made them sell the female!
I am sorry for your loss, and glad someone gave you another puppy....but I do agree that some type of investigation should have been done to know why that puppy died...it could have been as simple as ingesting something that blocked off it's airway.

Now the judge may not order her to give me another dog or any other thing. But he would declare the contract null and void. So where does that leave us at the end of the day? Discretion. Breeder's choice, just as her own words say.
So in conclusion, you're right on a couple of things. I chose NOT to do it for financial reasons. I knew, she thought I should. But it's an unreasonable request under "our" laws. Did she know it was an unreasonable request? Probably not. But, I'm not doing anything about it. I've sucked it up and taken the loss, both on a financial and personal level.
And what I was saying (back to the beginning), if you're going to sign a "contract", you'd better make sure you understand it and that it's fair. If it isn't walk away. Legally, it's an unreasonable demand. Morally, perhaps it's the right thing to do (the necropsy). But remember, we are talking about a "contract", a legal document.
I learned a lesson and want others to learn from my experience as well, that's all there is to this. I see no reason for you and I to have a peeing contest
|Well, I personally think it would have been a good gesture for the breeder to offer another pup at half price. Just as we don't know if the dog died from getting into something, we also do not know if the dog had a congenital defect. Meeting you half way on this probably wouldn't have hurt the breeder in any way and it would have been good for her reputation. Any one of us would have been upset if that were our pup. You are right about the contract too...the breeder basically says she will always have the last say.
Someone else gave you a puppy. That was very kind of them. Since we have no clue why the other dog died, we have no idea whether there is something in your yard that may have been the cause. I hope that you have considered this and looked closely at the type of plants, mulch, etc, that you have hanging around. If there was a necropsy and there actually was a genetic issue that would explain the siezure and death, then we wouldn't have to worry about that.
I agree with your original breeder. The contract says to do a necropsy. Had that been done, and the results were inconclusive then I would think that the breeder should have met you half way. If the results were something genetic, they should have replaced the puppy. If the results showed some specific toxin or a cause for the death of the pup that was not due to anything genetic, then the breeder could have chosen to do something or not. Without a necropsy though, there is no chance that anything can be learned from the death of the puppy.
Look at it this way. If you have a contract that warranties the hips of the dog if you diagnose the hips by x-ray and send them to the OFA. If you have the dog for six months and it starts limping so you take it to the vet. The vet says, it's a German Shepherd, this is hip dysplasia. And you decide to euthanize the dog on his opinion of hip dysplasia with no x-rays, and YES, some vets DO tell people their dog is dysplastic without x-rays. And some are wrong even when they ARE looking at x-rays. Should the breeder replace the puppy, our meet you half way? Should someone else give you a free puppy because you negated your contract and the breeder wouldn't honor it?
You've had responses from two breeders...Sue and Dawn...now I'll respond as a buyer.
Yes, know exactly what your contract states. For a 6 mth old to have a seizure and die something is not right. BUT that does not mean it is genetic or faulty breeding. It could be congenital or environmental.
You KNEW your contract stated a necropsy had to be done and you chose not too. So the breeder had nothing to go on other than your word and a "maybe" diagnosis. YOU did not follow the contract. If you had, and you state above that you were fully aware of the necropsy clause so you did know the contract inside and out, then you might have gotten a different response.
These are not apartments. Your example is terribly flawed. They are living creatures that sometimes aren't put together correctly or get into toxins. Bad things happen. I don't think the breeder is being unreasonable.
It was kind of another breeder to give you a puppy. But that does not reflect on the first breeder, who by the way is not terribly hard to figure out who it is. Just because a breeder is mentioned on here multiple times does not make them a good breeder. There are several breeders on here that I wouldn't even consider getting a puppy from.
Bottom line...you didn't follow the contract that was clearly spelled out and you were aware of.
|2 years from the purchase date would give the buyer a minimum of 8 extra weeks to get those hips done.
|Dave Marskell
So in one breath there *is* a contract, and in the next it's "fair". Then, "each situation has to be dealt with individually". So there is NO actual contract if that's the case. It's legalese. You don't sign a rental contract to pay $1,000 per month in rent that you and the landlord think is fair. Then have the landlord deal with your case "individually" and now charge you $1,400.
Look, neither you nor anyone else has to agree with me. But you know who *did* agree with me? Another breeder. A breeder who is mentioned multiple times on *this* website, not my next door neighbour. She gave me a dog on compassionate grounds. She didn't have to do that. Right or wrong, the original breeder should have done *something*. She didn't even say "I'm sorry". I have the right to be choked.
But again, the intent of the post was to inform about contracts and ensuring you know it, inside and out.

She'd rather give you a hug and a hot meal than utter a harsh word about anyone or anything. But when it comes to speaking up on behalf of the mountain, longtime Kyle Canyon resident Rose Meranto isn't shy about making herself perfectly clear.
Meranto, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday and has lived in her cabin in the pines since the 1970s, is joining the rising voices of discontent critical of Gov. Brian Sandoval's decision to help balance the state's budget by closing Nevada Division of Forestry Fire Station No. 1.
Other areas slated for similar changes include the Elko and Eureka fire districts. A rural fire crew is also scheduled for elimination.
As a Kyle Canyon resident, I've seen the professional work the NDF Station No. 1 firefighters do, whether they're putting out house fires, responding to medical calls or attacking wildland blazes.
What on the surface looks like a simple cost-saving measure for the state actually would set in motion millions in increased costs for Clark County, which would be forced to build and maintain its own fire station to replace Station No. 1. Neither the current structure that houses Station No. 1 nor the metal building that's home to Volunteer Station No. 81 would be sufficient to house a CCFD fire crew.
For Meranto and other residents, it's a matter of sticking with the team that works best in their neighborhoods, which sit at above 7,000 feet in elevation on a mountain that commonly gets heavy snow each winter.
"The fire department has been so instrumental on the mountain for all these years," she says. "Not just recently, but all through the years and for emergencies of all kinds."
Meranto recalls an incident in the early 1980s in which a relative became ill before 5 a.m. The visitors began to panic, but Rose simply called Station No. 1, and within minutes emergency medical help had arrived.
While Clark County has a highly skilled fire department, the expense of building a new fire station in tough economic times places an added burden on the county and mountain residents.
Meranto has also seen Station No. 1 combine efforts with CCFD Volunteer Station No. 81 to put out house fires and knock down wildland fires that have threatened the communities several times over the years. While every system can be improved on, this one seems to work.
It also, Meranto notes, keeps homeowners' insurance costs down.
"We just can't do without the fire department," she says. "For those of us who live up here, what is that going to do if we don't have fire protection? What's that going to do for our insurance? There are so many ramifications. It's unspeakable for them to even think of doing away with the fire department."
Under the state plan, Station No. 1 would be eliminated in 2012. Clark County would assume full fire protection responsibility. Trouble is, the CCFD doesn't fight forest fires.
What sounds like a cost-savings to the state would merely transfer full fiscal responsibility to the county, which already assumes a majority of the expense. And it remains unclear whether the change would fully free the state of its liability.
"I'm sure there are other avenues the Legislature can follow to cut down on the budget, but, Mother Goose!, not safety issues," she says. "They cannot toy with our safety."
The governor would do well stay off the Rose of Mount Charleston's bad side.

Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy.
I am a wife, mother of four, writer and entrepreneur. When I'm not driving carpool, cleaning crayon off the walls, scraping dried macaroni off the floor or hiding in my closet, I am the woman behind the ramblings on isthisREALLYmylife.com. In my "spare" time I serve as the Young Women's Personal Progress Advisor; support my husband in his latest endeavor as an executive MBA student; hit the gym for spin class and weights; participate in sprint triathlons and bike races; and play around (a lot) with social media.
Because I was born that way. Kidding! Well, the part about being born Mormon is true but that's not why I am a Mormon. Sure, it's easy enough to continue with something you've known your entire life, but at some point you have to stop and question whether it's what you really want to do. And yes, being Mormon is something I really want to do. Not only do I believe LDS doctrine to be true and inspired--and not only do I believe we have a true and living prophet--I also believe this is a fantastic way to live my life and raise a family. The guidance (and accompanying peace) the gospel brings me is priceless. The opportunities for service, the timeless precepts, the gift of the Holy Ghost and the promised blessings are why I am a Mormon...even when it's not easy to be one. Here is what I know: * I know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me and have a plan for me. * I know they are there for me no matter what. * I know our family can be together forever. * I know there is hope and love and peace and forgiveness and understanding. How do I know these things (and so much more)? Because I am a Mormon.
Prayer is a constant, and heaven knows we need a constant in our lives. Prayer is a source of peace, comfort, inspiration, faith and hope in my life. Along with more formal prayers with the family and my husband, I find myself having random, quiet conversations with Heavenly Father whenever I feel gratitude, peace or the need for guidance (which is often). Prayer sent heavenward keeps me grounded and keeps an open line of communication between Heavenly Father and me. All relationships are strengthened by good communication!
We are still working on perfecting this one--I fear it will be an ongoing challenge for us. But one thing we've found that has helped is making sure we play AND pray together as a family. The more playing we do, and the more time we spend together, the more we find we truly do like each other. One other things my husband and I do as a couple is pray together every evening, and we make sure we pray for each child, especially if one is having a particularly tough time at home or school. (And often we are praying for the same child.) Asking Heavenly Father to help us understand how to best parent each of the unique personalities in our home is getting us a little closer to that harmonious family goal. Of course, we don't have harmony all the time, but it's like that opposition thing: you can't know the good without knowing the bad. Well, you can't know the harmony without knowing the discord!
How do I live my faith? Some days better than others. It should be easy to live a faith in which you strongly believe, but I am only human after all...and the world is such an enticing place. Fortunately I know living my faith is what makes me truly happy, so I do my best at doing just that. Right now I work with the young women in our church (ages 12 to 18) helping them with their Personal Progress goals. (The Personal Progress program is a goal-setting and achievement program in the Church.) I also serve whenever or whenever asked, be it teaching the younger children, helping with church family activities, bringing in meals or participating in service projects. As far as daily living my faith, I try to be a positive example of my beliefs so those who know me will have a pretty good idea of what it means to be Mormon. Though not as vociferous as some when it comes to my membership in the Church, I don't shy away from talking about it, online or off.

Together the 111th Congress and President Obama are working to restore stability to our nation's economy and invest in a secure economic future for America's working families. On February 17, President Obama signed the House- and Senate-passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - legislation to create and save jobs, get our economy moving again, and transform it for long-term growth and stability. To help ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and effectively, the Recovery Act contains unprecedented accountability and transparency measures - including no earmarks, new state whistleblower protections, strong oversight, and a new www.recovery.gov website allowing Americans for the first time to track the investments online, and contact local and state officials about how it's working. Congressional oversight is ongoing.

Last year, the Bush Administration urged Congress to pass the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to help stabilize financial institutions and restore the flow of credit to businesses and families. Despite objections by the Administration, the measure was written to provide public accountability, transparency and protections for taxpayers, and to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Building on that, on April 24, President Obama signed into law the TARP oversight bill - a measure to strengthen accountability and oversight of the financial rescue package by the TARP's Special Inspector General. Congressional oversight continues.

- March 19: Under Chairman John Lewis, the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on TARP and the oversight of Federal borrowing and the use of federal funds.

As household budgets tighten across the country and foreclosure rates continue to climb, Congress continues to work to strengthen consumer and homeowner protections and ease the credit crunch hurting American families and small businesses. The Obama Administration has launched a plan that will help up to 7 to 9 million families restructure or refinance their mortgages to avoid foreclosure--as well as their neighbors whose own house values will drop as a result of a nearby foreclosure. On March 5, the House passed the Helping Families Save their Homes Act, H.R. 1106 - a bill to spur refinancings and loan modifications to get more families into affordable mortgages by fixing the Hope for Homeowners Program and protecting lenders from lawsuits. On April 30th, the House passed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act, H.R. 627, to level the playing field between card issuers and cardholders by applying common-sense regulations that would ban retroactive interest rate hikes on existing balances, double-cycle billing, and due-date gimmicks.

AIG & EXCESSIVE RiSK-TAKING AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The American International Group (AIG) bonus scandal that surfaced earlier this year exposed the extraordinary abuses of the public trust by companies rewarding some employees with excessive compensation, even while taxpayers are on the hook for billions to address the consequences of these companies' unchecked risk-taking. The 111th Congress is working to rein in this kind of egregious behavior and protect American taxpayers. To this end, on April 1st, the House passed the Pay for Performance Act, H.R. 1664, which prohibits payment of unreasonable or excessive compensation and non-performance based bonuses for companies while direct capital investments from the TARP remain outstanding. Congressional oversight has helped bring to light some of the irresponsible decisions.

- March 18: Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises held a hearing on AIG. Chairman Kanjorski: "Unfortunately, taxpayers do not understand how AIG ended up in such a terrible situation, nor do they understand why the federal government continues to give it money. We must assess AIG's progress, as well as how we move forward to ensure that any taxpayer money AIG receives is spent efficiently and effectively."

Congress is determined to get to the bottom of the causes and factors leading up to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. On May 6, the House passed S. 386, Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 to establish a Financial Markets Inquiry Commission that will produce a detailed and clear-eyed examination of what went wrong. This is critical to bring accountability to a financial system that rewards unduly risky behavior, and to help inform Congress as we move forward with common sense reforms to prevent these crises from happening in the future.

NextGen: Safety First
The FAA's safety organization is locating NextGen specialists at every Flight Standards regional office.
September 22 – The FAA's safety organization is locating NextGen specialists at every Flight Standards regional office to make sure the safety workforce is up to speed on the high-tech systems and procedures that are transforming the national air transportation system.
These NextGen liaisons will facilitate understanding of the big picture and make sure the FAA's safety workforce sees, knows, and understands where the agency is headed with NextGen.
FAA Administrator Randy Babbit unveiled the plan at a recent conference on NextGen implementation, explaining that the newly assigned specialists will ensure that the approval aspects of NextGen are in gear.
"Let's face it: equipment and procedures aren't going to amount to much if the players don't know where it all fits and how it all works," Babbitt added. "I'm going to make sure that when NextGen shows up at the door, our safety workforce knows exactly what's in the box."
If employees understand NextGen, they are more likely to accept it and take advantage of its capabilities. "The natural tendency is to be apprehensive about the unfamiliar," Babbitt said. "NextGen is not a leap of faith. Not only is it the smart way to go, it's the only way to go."

News Briefs:
The six men seeking the Republican nomination for governor will be in Norfolk tonight for a forum hosted by the Norfolk Daily News, the Nebraska Republican Party and Norfolk Senior High. The forum begins at 7 p.m. in the Johnny Carson Theatre at Norfolk Senior High, with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. There is no charge, but tickets are required for admittance and can be picked up at the Norfolk Daily News office. The six Republican gubernatorial candidates are Jon Bruning, Pete Ricketts, Beau McCoy, Bryan Slone, Mike Foley and Tom Carlson.
The Republican primary race for governor is heating up between Omaha businessman Pete Ricketts and Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning. Ricketts promised yesterday to run a positive campaign, saying he wouldn't make "careless accusations" against other candidates in the six-man field. His announcement at the Capitol came in response to new, critical television ads by Bruning's campaign. Bruning has alleged that Ricketts' family and supporters are behind a series of anonymous, third-party attack ads against him, and that Ricketts is unwilling to attach his name to them. Ricketts says neither he nor his father, billionaire TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, are involved with the ads.
Norfolk Police officers feel vindicated by a U.S. District Court summary judgment in a case filed over a January 2011 incident. At this week's meeting of the City Council, Police Chief Bill Mizner and Sgt. Chad Reiman talked about the decision by U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon in the case, Colvey versus the City of Norfolk. Reiman, one of the three officers named in the suit, thanked the city and insurance provider League Association of Risk Management for their support. The case was filed in 2012 by Lori Colvey, who claimed that officers had violated her Fourth Amendment rights when she was placed in Emergency Protective Custody. In January of this year, Bataillon ruled that officers were following hospital policy, which requires that officers remain with patients in emergency protective custody through the initial evaluation.
The city of Norfolk has issued its March building permit report. At yesterday's meeting of the city's Planning Commission, Prevention Manager Trent Howard said the report is still positive. Fourteen permits have been issued this fiscal year for new single family houses, as well as two for duplexes, one for a triplex, and several for improvements to existing homes. Howard says he is getting frequent questions about available lots, and he expects the building permit numbers to climb in the near future.
A traffic shift is scheduled for tomorrow on Highway 35 between Norfolk and Woodland Park. Department of Roads Highway Project Manager Doug Lollman says traffic will be shifted onto the newly constructed lanes in the Suburban Acres area, and the existing lanes will be removed beginning next week. Lollman urges drivers to be cautious while driving through this – and any construction – area.

Until the destructive Golem War ravaged the northern continent, golems were used across lands held. They were created in great number by the Anari, who employed them as near-mindless slaves, automatons programmed to follow orders without question or concern for their own well-being. Today, golems are virtually unknown, bogeymen used to scare children and adults alike. This supplement briefly explores the origins of golems, discusses the major events of the Golem War, and provides stats for all the species of golem known to sages.
Although designed for the Hellfrost setting, this produce can be used in most any Savage Worlds game.
