For some reason (my personal reasons), I wanted to return the pup to the breeder, which I recently acquired from her.
She was pretty nasty about it and gave me a real hard time. But however promised me to exchange the pup for another pup, I would prefer to get a little older (probaby) 4mo and that too in summers. She assured me that I can come anytime upto 2 years and she will give me a replacement. My question is, I do not have any written document supporting this from her. Can I trust her? What are my options, if she decides othersise.
Thanks

Unless you have it in writing within a contract signed and dated by both of you; it will be your word against hers if the breeder has a "memory lapse". Always get it in writing!

it really depends on how well you know & trust the breeder. Some are still "old school" where their word is their bond...kinda rare these days, but I know a few that I trust at their word. How much business have you done or how much of a relationship do you have with them? A valued "customer" (one in constant contact or gives out lots of referrals) is often treated better than most. But, if it's a casual relationship (ie. you bought a dog from them and that's it), then I'd get it in writing, otherwise there could be that "memory lapse" and you lose out.

I have very little relationship with the breeder. It was my first time getting the GSD pup from her.
I have sent her a email asking her to mail me a written note about the exchange.
I am just wondering if anyone know of my legal rights (if any), in case she decides to forget about me.

without a written contract, I don't think you have much to stand on. It would've been better to keep the pup until a written agreement was done, 2 copies (one for them, one for you) signed by both of you. Hopefully this breeder is an honest person, if they've got nothing to worry about, then it should be no problem to put it in writing for you.
Personally, if it's someone I don't know that well, I will require any guarantees be in writing (as above, 2 copies with original signatures). But, OTOH, I would give a written contract to others from us (that would cover the basics and stipulations), and if when talking with them, some other concern came up, I would agree verbally and stick to my promise (and would probably take it upon myself to make a note for me and send them a signed "promisary note" without them having to ask for it). It's just a matter of who you're dealing with, like I said before.

I don't really understand your post. You mentioned that you wanted to return the pup for personal reasons.Did it have health problems or were you not able to take care of it? Do you feel that a older pup will be easier to take care of. Did the breeder take back your present dog? Before anyone jumps all over the breeder lets get some details. It's possible that you are stressing for no reason. A persons word is still worth something. Why don't you just let it play out and see what happens. Remember a written contract will probaly stand up in court, but the key word is court. Doesn't make much difference if its on a handshake or written if the breeder decides not to honor their contract. Your only option would be the court system. At this point I'm more concerned about the pup that you don't want.

I don't understand the post either. I assume that there is there more to this, as you seem to indicate the breeder is at fault or obliged to make amends for something here? No breeder is obliged to exchange a pup just because you decide you can't keep it for "personal" reasons. What's going to happen to the pup you don't want? Is it not a problem that people here can help you fix?

There's nothing much to explain here. I got a puppy from a breeder, and due to my own problems (puppy was fine), I wanted to give puppy away. I was not bound to give it back to the breeder. But, since I didn't want to sell the puppy to just anyone and wanted a loving home for him, I contacted breeder. (Where else a decent loving family will go to find the right pup?) The breeder told me that I can bring back the pup to her. She will not pay back my money but get me a another pup whenever I was ready. I returned the pup to the breeder without getting anything in writting. I also returned all the papers, inckuding AKC and contract. Now tell me, what should I do? Have send few emails to the breeder regarding a written note to remind her of her words when I go back to her for puppy.

Having a written contract on any transaction , is always best ,it is better for all parties concerned .
As to returning a puppy to the breeder .I would be glad that you returned the dog, and your money would be refunded, but you would not be able to get another one from me . Getting a dog is a big comitmment, and i know things happen .
But its hard enough to breed to the right dogs its even harder to find good homes. That could be another thread. Peter

I don't know what impression you have got about me. But, I am an animal lover, and especially dogs, and that too GSD. I returned the pup to the breeder and din't demand money was a sign of my commitment to the well being of that little thing. I could have easily placed an ad and could have got rid of the pup. But, that was not my idea. His well being was first on my mind. And the personal reeason I returned it because I was getting asthma attacks in the cold weather, when I was taking the pup out. Anyways, I WILL get the puppy (a little older this time) again. I am already preparing by building a weather proof dog house in my backyard and doing other things. I can't wait for summers.
