I bought a puppy from a breeder that turned out to be deaf. She doesn't seem to be concerned or willing to take it back or refund any of my money. Can I sue her? We are both in Maryland.
State/Country of Question: Maryland Already Tried: I contacted the breeder at first to let her know that we suspected the puppy was deaf. She didn't seem to think that he was and wasn't going to take him back. We had a specialist test the puppy with the Baer Test and he was diagnosed as being deaf. I notified the breeder via email and have not heard back from her.
hi
on a purchase of this nature, it is going to come down to the terms of the purchase agreement- refunds, returns on animals are often times clearly written out and discussed. however, if there was no written agreement or verbal understanding - they you made and "as is" purchase without warranty.
