I wouldn't give the pup back, I don't think it's fair on him. What happens if the seller's allergies kick in again, will they just resell him?

Indeed, thats one thing we've mentioned, but apparently a herbal remedy they have found has cured it all !

********.

I'd offer them an opportunity to admit they are full of **** and apologies, if they show contrition and will repay me plus expenses, they get the dog back.

Got a pic of said pup? Could be that they now consider it a good stud dog and want it back for that purpose.

Minstadave · 11 Jun 2013 at 21:43

Yeah the herbal remedy will have cured it, not the fact they sold the dog. They sound like retards.

Do have a pic, though she just looks like a young rotty in the pic, so much of a muchness in photo terms

Darn, that could be it though. Or there might be a complication with mum which means they might want one of the females back for breeding purposes.

Sounds too simplistic for me for them to say they want her back because they're still too attached and I can't think of any legal reason why you should have to give her back either. I'd keep her.

Out of interest, have you had the jabs done etc yet as well?

I'd give it back in exchange for your money plus a "reasonable amount" for the emotional distress their threatening behaviour has caused you. As your solicitor advised, of course.

Jabs were already done

They sold the dog, you bought the dog. If it was me, then I'd tell 'em to jog on.

Thing is, obviously we are getting even more adamant about keeping the dog the more that they attempt to bully us. One thing I cannot tolerate is a liar who makes stuff up to get their own way.

Are they Korean and carrying spices?

Raumarik · 11 Jun 2013 at 22:11

Phone police, harassment. Get it on file that they're trying to bully you into giving the dog back which you own.

Was the person's wife... A wag?

Keep the dog. Advise them that all future contact should be via your solicitors. Ignore all other attempts at communication.

TNGL · 11 Jun 2013 at 22:29

Ok, there's a simple explanation to this. They will refund your money, BUT, will give you it in fake notes. Probably best to avoid them.

/thread.

I'm by no means being serious. But there's always that possibility.

The law is probably on your side.....but I would give it back. It seems like the right thing to do.

I'd agree with this.

Have you any idea how much Solicitors cost?
Is it really worth it for a ball of fluff you've had 2 days?

We've bought a dog from a private seller, paid for, no receipt though. Anyway, had the dog for a few days and now the seller has turned up saying that they want the dog back (willing to give back the money). We are starting to get attached to the dog and clearly dont want to give the dog back and feel we paid for it fair and square. Have told the seller that and the seller is now saying that they spoke to their solicitor and that providing that they ask for the dog back within 4 days, we are legally obliged to return her and they will take us to court if we continue to refuse.

Any legal bods on here who know if thats right? Because that sounds like a load of bunkum to me, that someone can sell something and as long as its asked for back in a timeframe the buyer MUST give it back

I would just ignore them ... not really sure what pretend law they are referring to...

And they were quick enough to sell the dog in the first instance... are they gypsies?
