Six Angels Kennel Health Guarantee -- a mockery and a joke Lynden, Washington

When Traci Lawlor of Six Angels Kennel states on her website, "We prize ourselves on love and support of our future puppy families and provide all owners with a health guarantee again future illness" she is, to put it bluntly making a false statement.  Would it still be considered a false statement if Marie Lawlor, mother of Traci Lawlor, and owner of Family Kennels, acts as agent for Traci Lawlor in the sale of her Wheaten Terriers, absolutely.

I purchased my Wheaten from Marie Lawlor, as agent for Traci, and several weeks later my pup was in trouble.  What started as bladder infections and incontinence, led to a diagnosis of urethral abnormalities with equivocal ectopic ureter and decreased urethral sphincter tone.  Zoe would need medicine for the rest of her life or if that didn't work, major surgery.  I made Marie Lawlor aware of each and every diagnosis by phone and by email.  She was completely indifferent stating that she didn't know why I would be going to vets when all of this, in her opinion, would clear up in a year.  She then had the audacity to say that this was her daughter's dog and no concern of hers.  I informed her that she sold me the dog, she signed the papers, she took the money, and that she was the agent for her daughter.

I then called Traci Lawlor of Six Angels Kennel who was quite shocked and sympathic to my problem.  She said she would contact her mother and get back to me in a day or two.  I heard nothing further even though, I sent a registered letter to Traci, followed up by emails to Traci and Marie, asking for the return of my initial payment of $1400 as my costs to this time, not including payment for the dog amounted to $4,000. 

In February I will be attending Canada West Veterinary Specialists for surgery for Zoe conducted by Dr. Dunn, Canada's only urologist, Zoe's last and best chance at a complete recovery.  I have no idea of the cost, but know that I will give this beautiful little girl every chance she is entitled to.

Is it too much to ask for recovery of the initial $1400 to help defray the costs that I have so far incurred.

I think not.
