legal question

has anyone heard of or experienced a legal civil case when a person sells a dog to another but during the time the buyer was hunting with the dog, the seller may guarantees and statements about things the dog would or would not do
and after when the dog was being hunted the dog did the exact opposite
examples a guarantee was made that the dog would not back another do
when asked about running off game he no he would not ect..
I know in some states these things constitute a verbal contract especially if a witness for the buyer
any thoughts ?

Sounds like a typical dog deal to me.

Dog Deal

You might get a attorney to send a letter for you at a reasonable price. If that does not work, you can always file a claim in small claims court without a attorney. Using a attorney would probably cost as much as you paid for the dog. Small claims court would be the cheapest way for you to go and you most likely will win a judgement. If the judgement is not paid you can file a lien on his home or property that would eventually be paid if he sells or tries to refinance his home. If he has no real property or assets to attach, then a judgement would not help. Some would pay the judgement to protect their credit as a judgement shows up on their credit report. I would definitely file a claim to set an example. Dave

Just a bad dog deal. No way to prove what a dog was doing before you got it. And no way to prove you didn’t cause the dog to do what it does now. The dog you bought could be home sick. We bought one last year and it was for big money and I was sick on my stomach almost lost a friend because I was mad at him for always saying she never done that before. Took 4 months for me to figure out how to drive the truck if you want to say. She’s exactly what he said she was. Just had to step back and let the dog know I’m good people too. Good luck with it but I would try just hunting the dog and figuring out what he/she wants.

I agree but if a person is trying to scam people on a worthless dog they probably don't care about there credit rating.i had a dealing with a guy once and he is a POS. Had a signed contract with him,the dog wasn't worth the 22 bullet.got a lawyer took him to court he didn't show got a judgment against him.he didn't own any property tried garnishing his wages and found out somebody already was doing that so I was out of luck until that claim was paid off.my judgment was good for 7 years and never did get one penny.

Buff, you are so right, exactly what I said in my post. You only benefit from a judgement if the other party has any assets or cares about their credit rating. You can renew your judgement and hope that they finally get some assets or try to restore their credit. It's better than nothing if you do not at least try. Having a witness as the OP stated will definitely help him win his case in small claims court. Dave

Try before you buy!!! Always. Then if you buy the dog, he's yours for good or bad. You're wasting time and money hiring a lawyer and trying to go to court. It's a he said she said deal. Let this be a lesson learned, trust NO ONE on a dog deal. Try before you buy.Jr.

Exactly, best advice you can get. I have been told that a dog was really good only to see a below average dog when I hunted with the dog. I really believe that some folks just do not know much about dogs period and think they have a good dog, but have a subpar dog at best. Hunt the dog and be your own judge. Dave

I like to have the dog hunt in the terrain iam going to be hunting. I have seen dogs not perform the same in different parts of the country.i would maybe encourage you to hunt the dog there and bring home for a trial. That's just me.
