Contract disputes - buying and selling a dog

There are no special laws that apply to a contract for the buying and selling of a dog.

If a buyer simply changes their mind after purchase,

 they have no automatic right to return the dog and to require a refund.

Unless the seller sells dogs in the course of a business, then the principle of caveat emptor applies

. This means 'let the buyer beware' ie. it is up to the buyer to satisfy themselves

at the time of purchase that the dog is acceptable,

 if it turns out to have defects they are unlikely to have any remedy. The situation is different if:-

1. The seller expressly stated things about the dog which were not true, or

2. If the seller sells dogs in the course of a business

If either of these situations apply,

then the buyer may be able to take proceedings for their losses and/or may return the dog and demand a refund.

A TRIBUTE TO TINA 

DIED 5TH JUNE 2011.. 6 YEARS OLD     

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take too long.

Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and newI wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand God is taking care of me...I'm in the shelter of His hands.

Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again.

Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing. I really have to go for now... I've just got to try my wings.

TO MY DEAREST MUM SHARON

Weep not for me  though I am gone into that gentle night. Grieve if you will,

but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight. I am at peace,

 my soul's at rest There is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed. For all those many years.

How to Avoid Chihuahua Mixes Don't be fooled by cheap prices, handwriiten pedigree's .early release of pups under 8 weeks . As a Chihuahua Breeder with many years of experience, I get letters and emails from people all the time with questions about this fabulous breed. One of the most often asked questions I get from people is about size and weight. People who did not buy their Chihuahuas from me ask why they have a Chihuahua that weighed so little as a young pup and now tops the scales at fifteen or even twenty pounds? Many also wonder why their ears and snouts are so extended? Many unethical Breeders use an old trick to double their profits on toy pups. They breed Chihuahuas mixed with Mini-Pinchers. Why? Because both breeds have pups that look almost identical during the first eight weeks of life, but Chihuahua-Mini Pin mixes produce eight or more pups, compared to purebred Chihuahua females which usually have litters of one to three pups and rarely more then four. That means more profit for them, but a mixed pup for you. The difference between the purebred and the mix becomes very obvious as time passes. Purebred Chihuahua pups have a unique look to them.  The differences start to become obvious by the time the pups reach nine to twelve weeks of age. Mixed pups feature ears and heads that seem much too large for their body frame. Snouts on mixed pups are very extended, much more so then one would expect to find on any type of Chihuahua. The two basic body types of purebred Chihuahuas are Apple heads and Deer heads. Apple heads tend to have shorter snouts, while Deer heads have elongated snouts. Still, the Deer heads have much shorter ears and snouts then the Chihuahua-Mini Pin mixes. Those trying to sell mixes as purebreds will often tell unsuspecting customers that the reason for a pups larger snout is that it’s a Deer head. But mixes have much longer snouts, extremely over-sized ears and heads that seem much larger then their bodies can support. One might think that purebred papers will guarantee a purebred pup, but that isn’t always the case. In many instances Breeders have been able to manipulate various purebred registries and get papers for pups from mixed parents. Looking at the parents also doesn’t work. Most unethical Breeders will have bogus parents with similar colours all ready to be viewed. The key to making sure a Chihuahua is what it’s supposed to be is proportion. Whether the Chihuahua pup in question is a longhair or shorthair, they should have a body that is evenly proportioned. No matter how young the puppy is, its ears, head and body should look proportionate with ears and a nose that do not seem unusually large or long. Because Chihuahuas are ancient dogs that weren’t created by any known genetic manipulation like other toy dog breeds, there can be a lot of diversity when it comes to colour and length of hair. But body proportions on most Chihuahua pups are very even at almost any age. As a Breeder I hear horror stories all the time from people who have bought pups from  other areas and ended up with mixed breed dogs or animals too ill to survive, so buyer beware! The basic colours for purebred Chihuahuas are white, fawn, black, tan, red, blue, the super rare merles or a mixture of any of the above.  mixes also love to bit on and chew everything they can find, compared to purebred Chihuahuas which are not known for that type for behaviour.

  HAVE YOU HAD YOUR MALE DOG CASTRATED,

 "NO BABIES        WANTED "

MALE DOGS CAN STILL ENTER THE FEMALE ON HEAT

    WHAT IS HIS  REACTION TO FEMALES ON HEAT        

      link below which helps explain the CHOKING  in Chihuahuas .. I  have had chi 's many years

most have had this problem in different degrees , My thoughts on this symptom..  frightening experience 

 common in chi's ,where they look like they are choking  gasping for breath feet apart chest heaving is due to air way  problem.

   I sooth their neck with a massage sometimes find  gentle pressure on their nose  to stop the gasping  helps

with soothing words to calm them. One thing for certain I have never lost a Chihuahua to this problem.

THE FIRST LONG COAT TO BE TAKEN BACK TO UNITED STATES WAS AND MALE CALLED CARENZA ,HE WAS THE FOUNDATION SIRE BEHIND THE MERON STRAIN INTENSIVE IN-BREEDING IN THIS LINE CAN PRODUCE LONG COATS .WHEN THE CHIHUAHUA WAS RE-INTRODUCED INTO THIS COUNTRY AFTER WORLD WAR 2 THERE WERE NO LONG COATS TO BE FOUND .AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY THE TWO VARIETIES HAVE ACHIEVED EQUAL STATUS ,FACT IS MORE LONG COATS ARE ENTERED AT CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS THAN SMOOTH COATS

THE SMOOTH COAT IS DOMINANT TO LONG COATS IF THERE IS A LONG COAT IN THEIR BLOOD LINE TWO SMOOTH COATS  CAN PRODUCE A LONG COAT** TWO LONG COATS WILL NEVER PRODUCE A SMOOTH COAT **.THE KENNEL CLUB WILL ONLY REGISTER PUPPIES BRED FROM THE SAME COAT.

AT TWO MONTHS A PUPPIES TEMPERAMENT IS IS LARGELY FASHIONED AND WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO HIM .BE LOVING TO YOUR BABY CHI'S WHAT YOU PUT IN ,YOU GET OUT .

                                     CHIHUAHUA MUMS ARE DEVOTED TO THEIR BABIES

THE ANTIBODIES IN MUMS MILK FROM BIRTH TO 10 DAYS APPROX WILL STAY IN THE SYSTEM OF THE BABIES FOR A GOOD WHILE

WHEN BUYING CLOTHES ,CHOOSE CAREFULLY ,AS WITH COLLARS ,A HARNESS IS BEST FOR MY WALKIES  ,TRY LOOKING IN THE RABBITS ,RATS ,CATS  FERRET  SECTION FOR A SMALL  SIZES .

                                                                     BABY STORY

                                                                           MICHELLE

  IS A TINY SMOOTH COAT GIRL BORN INTO A LITTER OF FOUR.

                       IN NOVEMBER 2008                          

was weighed in at 3.5oz with a Harelip problem

her owner took her to the vets thinking she would have to be put to sleep

 feeling very sad the journey was a unhappy one

Julie was told  it is not too bad* her roof had a tiny split to the front

 which was a little unattractive the vet said don't feed her

just see if she can feed off mum ,so this tiny girl was on her own .

Michelle proved to be a little fighter feeding off mum for about a week

 making progress* put on weight, then Julie noticed her weight was dropping

 our LITTLE  heroin dropped her weight to 2.7oz

against the advice given by the vet her human mum started to feed her

 with milk from a droplet.

Touch and go for a while so tiny and frail skin and bone ,

the joy came when she again started to put on weight

the nights up and constant dedication every two hours was working.

Some might ask why bother ? let her go ! might be best for her .

 There are some who feel a life is a life ,

to help a little soul is worth every effort ,

Her future is secure .

To be given to a friend of Julies NO REWARDS FOR herself .

just a promise to love her and care for her eventually surgery

to stitch her little lip together.... WHEN SHE IS OLD ENOUGH.

Breeding is about caring love and dedication

                PUPPIES ARE TREASURES* A GIFT* A LITTLE SOUL.                

baby look at her now
