Thread: Just where does the responsibility end???

Some weeks ago, a man rang to ask me if I would know of anyone who could take ownership of his Brittany (not an Epagneul Breton) as due to his change in circumstances he could no longer keep the dog...a female adult. He had rung the breeder with no help being solicited...I rang around the likely people I know who may have been able to help but to no avail, which I duly advised him of...he was most appreciative of our considerations.

Where does it start and finish for the breeder in an instance such as this...how far does the responsibility go...? Knowing that the family lived on a section property, should have the breeder sold him the dog in the first place?

PS I have no personal interest in this dog...I was however, concerned that the breeder showed such indifference to the matter.
