Were there any penalty clauses in the contract, Christine?

It would be good if somebody (a lawyer?) posted a draft of a model contract in which owners like Tessa B. would find it cheaper to return the dog than face the court and risk paying e.g. 20.000 GBP compensation

Sadly not As I said before, a lot of lessons have been learnt the hard way... I will not be so naive and trusting in future.

That would be wonderful if it were possible (would any of your contacts be able to advise on this, Yukidomari?)

So sad that your trust was so abused. Hopefully a lesson other breeders can learn from as well (((hugs)))

Nothing I can report on, Pixie. Don't worry, as soon as anything happens - you'll all know (whatever that may be...)

So, if this dog has such an atrocious temperament, has been and still is? Such hard work, what ethical person would consider breeding from him and risk passing the traits on? After all, temperament isn't all environment.
I own a dog of the live stock guarding type known to be stubborn, independent and obviously guardy, he'll guard when let off lead, he's turning into a proficient watchdog... Research told me he was unlikely to behave like a stereotypical Labrador and that's not what I wanted.
Even the most basic breed descriptions of the CSV, makes a point of stating that they can be challenging, and males especially, so frankly, I don't know what else was expected?
Perhaps there was an underestimation of the level of challenge and perhaps the breeder believed that wasn't the case, at least the breeder is trying to fix the error.
