    Could've been past tense -ie it isn't now.

    The dog was described as been in good health and been examined by a qualified vet the previous day.

    The dog was seen by a vet the day before purchase as she was given her first innoculations and the card stamped. I do not know if the dog was examined and what was said to the rescue centre owner. In any eventI don`t have any contract with the vet.

    How about editing the thread title to 'Dog not as described' :)

    You don't know if your dog was examined or not. The only way you will find out this is to contact the vet that gave your dog her inoculations the day before you took her home.

    Something similar happened in my local dogs home before Christmas, a supposed healthy dog was rehomed with Parvovirus and sadly died 3 days later.

    Have you thought of contacting your local paper?

    the dog could have been a high value breed dog, so this is why the donation is set high;)

    years ago my mum and myself, used to use our own show kennels to house and re-home dogs ( part of a certain breed resuce service) which was done via the breed club..... the breed's rescue service was not a registered charity, it was a group of club members trying to do their best for this breed, some were x puppy farm breeding !!!!!es, some were because for some reason or other the owners could not look after them...

    so just because it looked as though it was someone's own kennels doesnt mean it was their dog...... as far as i can see it is someone trying to their best for this particular breed of dog..

    which i dont htink the op has told us what it is yet....

    So please do not go 'slating' the place where this dog came from...... there is also 2 sides to every story;)

    I do not consider providing a report saying that the dog has no health problems when it clearly has as 'trying to do the best for this particular breed of dog' and acceptable.
