Pennsylvania Beagle Breeders Q&A
How do I legally fight a breeder who sold me a puppy with worms?
I bought a Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle on October 27th and the agreement was that I was to go to her house to pick her up in Virginia. I live in Pennsylvania. I drove down there and she changed the pick-up to where her son would drop the puppy off at a gas station. I got suspicious but after driving so long I went with it. This dog came with no papers, was dirty, smelled horrible, and had hookworms and roundworms. Neither the breeder nor her son could tell me anything about her history (shots, food, temperament, toys, etc.). I was so mad I called the dog law officer in Virginia to have her investigated and haven't heard anything back from them. What else can I do to get this woman out of business?
Really, the only thing left to do is gather up all the vet papers an information and take her to court.
If you still have the puppy, you may only get reimbursed for medical treatment OR you will have to return the puppy and a return of your money will be ordered, but you can not have both.
If I were you, I would call the Dog Law Office again and find out how the investigation is going. Worms are easily treated and inexpensive to treat, as well - I would forget about the lawsuit. Also, contact the ASPCA in Virginia and you may want to call the local police department and file a complaint just to have it on record.
I know there is a place you can contact to report BYB, but I'm sorry, I don't know it off hand, but will get it and post it as soon as I find it.
PLEASE LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT BUYING A PUPPY SITE UNSEEN
ADD:
I found a couple of links that will be beneficial, but it doesn't look like it will be in your favor. I'm sorry.

Pennsylvania Beagle Breeders Q&A
Beagles question ............?
I would love to get a beagle! The only problem is, I have to find a breeder. Do not tell me to go to petfinder.com of akc.com because I've been in almost all of them. Even met 10 of the bailouts is petfinder.com. I just need a good breeder. I know many people say that if the neighbor's dog had puppies, you should not get one of them. My question is why? I know there might be problems with his temper and stuff, but they are cheap and that's how my father and my aunt has a dog and they were very good. And do not say I'm a terrible person and the only reason I would get my neighbor because they are cheap. I have tried almost everything. In addition, seems to be difficult to find a quality breeder in Pennsylvania for all the puppy mills and I do not want to have to go to the middle only to meet with a puppy.
I work in a shelter environment, where there is a lot of great dogs waiting for homes, including beagles. Your question concerned me because states "I know I could have problems with his temper and stuff, but they are cheap ..." and "I do not want to have to go far from the only way meet a dog ".. If you are not willing to put in the field to get the puppy you say you want, are you willing to do what is needed when the animal is old and may have health problems? You say you want a good breeder. This is what can and should expect: The good breeders have waiting lists for their litters. The Good breeders do background checks, reference and home before a litter is born. Good breeders screen for health problems in puppies and parents. Good temperament test breeders breed the parents. Good breeders adopt animals as pets, not the dogs outside. Good breeders will expect you to ask questions and race animals. Good breeders will ask questions. Good breeders involved in the life of the pet. Good breeders will take back an animal if you can not keep. The Good breeders microchip their animals. Good breeders have spay / neuter clauses in their contracts to avoid overcrowding and adherence to standards race. Good breeders make sure you will be a good parent and can provide the medical, social, physical and emotional needs of your puppy. Good breeders work with rescue groups. Good breeders are not purely interested in making money. They love the breed. Good breeders are not cheap or their dogs. Prior complaint from the need to find a good breeder, you may need to find a time and expand your search area. Be prepared to wait for an animal, sometimes it takes more than a year. Be upfront with the breeder. The breeder has the contract to sell an animal very seriously and you need to fulfill the contract as well. Nobody likes to be in breach of contract. Pennsylvania is one of the main sources of puppy mills, so I commend you for not going that route. Stay in control, even if you're still looking a breeder, the animals appear in shelters and rescues all the time. Good luck.
