For example, if they say the pup’s parents have a full coat of hair, while either or both of the pup’s parents were actually bald, and the pup turned out to be bald as well, could I have to sellers arrested?
*With proof that we bought the dog
That was just an example, I didn’t actually buy a bald dog, no point in telling me to check on the parents and saying that I was foolish for buying it, because I didn’t.
When it comes to live animals, it’s really touchy. Did you see the puppy’s parents before you bought the puppy? Did they make any misrepresentations? Did they switch the parents of the puppy that they showed you? Even if the parents of the puppy weren’t bald, it could be in the genetics that the puppy inherited from past generations.
If there are other people that they have done the same thing to, then it would be considered fraud/swindle and they could possibly be arrested. But, if it is just you alone, you would probably have to deal with it through small claims.
Caveat emptor!
Thank goodness this is a hypothetical question.
