general rule on 2 wk trial

[anniesmomma]

what is the general rule on a 2 week trial on a dog? a guy bought a dog from us 2 weeks ago, called the day after got her and said didnt want her made plans to get her back he canceled. then made plans at end of 2 weeks to get her and he canceled again. now it will be 3 weeks if not longer according to him before we get her back, and she isnt even being kept at his place. was wondering best way to handle this situation. we want her back but he is just jerking us around now, and we are not happy about it. Thanks

sounds to me like he just needed a dog till seasons out.did he give you any money on the dog?i wouldnt let one go on trial without money in hand.do you know where he lives?if so id go pay him a visit.

I wouldnt fall for that if the wasnt in my kennel in 2 weeks he would own the dog People want to try your dog for 2 weeks thats fine but then take thier sweet time bringing them back no deal the 2 week trial is from the time they leave until they are back a day or 2 i could live with if they tryed the dog the whole 2 weeks but calling me 2 days then wanting to wait a month to bring them back NOT I had it happen to me called me 4 days and not want the dog but bring the dog back at thier conv.. not gona happen here I would tell him if the dog wasnt in my kennel at th eend of the trial time dont bother he owns the dog thats nonsense he wanting the dog till seasons over

yes he paid for her that day. no he made sure not to let to much information out about where he was from he lives in Maryland somewhere, we met him in morgantown for him to get the dog, and even said we would go to maryland to get her back and he canceled. now he probably wont call for another week and want us to jump at his word, for when and where he says and he dont even work and my husband is trying to schedule work around getting her back. Just wondered when enough is enough.
Thanks

If you got the money for the dog and he wont meet to give u the dog back then id say your pocket has cash in it and hes feeding a new dog!!!!! Lol

You have YOUR money and he has HIS dog. The deal is done. 2 weeks is up and he has the dog he owns it.

Thank you all for your input, thats what i thought but wanted to get others thoughts on this as well.
Thanks alot

F@ck that, Kiss my @ss. The next time he called back i would say i hope u like your new dog! If he was a decent guy i wouldnt be so harsh on him but the fact that he seems to be ducking and dodging tells me he a bullshiter!!!

2 thing i have learned from letting people trial dogs are always get the money up front and ask to see there drivers liscense so i can write down there info and liscence number.

I totally agree Toby if the 2 weeks up i wouldnt meet the dummy no-where i wouldnt even answer my phone when he calls You done the best you could got his money I always meet the buyer but if they dont want the dog they bring it back to my town You can waste mor money than what your asking for a dog messing with wishy warshy jerks they dont know what they want

[Bunnyblaster]

These guys are all correct if you ask me. The only other thing I would do and only if you wanted to as a final courtesy is leave him one more message basically stating everything these guys just told you here but in your own words. Like was already said, if the guy was trying to be up front and reasonable then I'd let it stretch out another week but this guy sounds like a and I'd get it resolved one way or another in a quick hurry.

Personally if it were me I would explain in no uncertain terms that if that dog is not at my doorstep at the end of daylight Saturday then he owns it period!!!! NO EXCUSES!!

Good luck.

Well I know you value your reputation as you do your dogs. But a deal is a deal and 2 weeks is well enough time. He is playing a game and in my opinion its game over. he owns the dog its your money. He is probably running the dog and his season is about over so he doesnt want a dog to feed till next hunting season.

I have had a guy try pull this on me one time and what he was doing was trying to sell my dog to make a profit and when his deal fell thru my and his did as he looked at it
