Puppy papers

segggy800

My pets had puppies last year (unplanned) and I sold/rehomed the puppies.
mum and dad have papers but I did not kc reg the puppies.

one person bought a puppy and asked to pay me in installments as after committing to buy the pup they was out of work.

I trusted they would pay due to seeming like a nice family with children. Over the course of 4 months I was paid most of the money.

In March (after having the puppy for 4 months) I was asked for my bank details to make the last payment of £25  so I sent over my details (same as used for previous payments) however however a final payment of £25 was never made.

two months later I am receiving messages saying they want to pay the remaining £25 and wants kc reg papers because they want to breed the puppy and if I don’t provide the papers they will report me or wants half of what they paid back.

I don’t know where I stand with this as they still haven’t paid the agreed amount in full yet is now sending threatening and demanding messages to me for papers or a refund.

what can I do about this as I am genuinely scared of this person now as they know where I live etc

Thanks for taking the time to read/respond.

Did you advertise/sell the pups as KC registered?

I think the key here is not about the payment terms, but how the dogs were described? Were they listed as KC registered dogs?

The parents were advertised as kc/pedigree however my advert did not state the puppies were.

I only have copies of messages to other people showing I was not registering the puppies

No I just stated the parents were

In which case, you appear on solid ground.  Ignore their threats.  I suspect you'll have to write off the £25.

To be honest as I had never heard from them for months about the remaining £25 I just assumed they were never going to pay it so I was surprised when I got the message offering to pay the £25 for the papers but then after I said there was no papers that’s when the threats came.

Report you to who for what? They sound like prize ding-dongs. If you want an easy life just ignore them, if you want to press it further remind them they owe you £25 and ask when they intend to pay it.

They said they will report me to the Kennel club for selling puppies and not registering them. 

I am just more bothered about the threatening messages and the demanding money from me. I could just always block the numbers I suppose.

What would be the consequence of that?  I'm asking because I genuinely don't know.  Are you intending to do authorised breeding in the future?  Might they blacklist you?

Just block the numbers.  If you get a letter before action by post, threatening to take you to court, come back for advice.

I wouldn't worry about it, they are just making excuses so they don't pay the £25

So long as they are chipped, you have nothing to worry about. You will learn to be more cautious next time.

I know two people that intended to let their dogs have pups, but its a difficult road.
