I recently had our golden retriever bred at a stud service advertising in our local paper.  We left our 4-year old female at the stud service for several days.  (She had been bred previously about 1.5 years ago.)  When I pickup up our dog, she had been bitten.  The breeder said the swelling was a scratch that had happened when she and the stud dog were breeding.  The vet we took her to (the same day) shaved her muzzle to disclose 4 puncture wounds (inflicted by teeth).  The vet bill was $200.  We stopped payment on the $550 check for stud service.  Are we within our legal rights?  How does someone normally protect themselves from such an occurrence?

Yes. I am a Stud dog owner. If I ever had a female at my house and she got bit I would have taken her to the vet my self, and not charged you. GoldyMom@aim.com
