What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
A dog breeder sold me a dog and it has all sorts of stipulations and says failure to comply means $1,000 payment to them, lawyer fees, etc. Without going into all the reasons for why, I chose to not comply figuring the extra payment would be worth getting out of the contract. Now the breeder is saying the AKC papers were not guaranteed if breach of contract and payment made (contract seems to be in his favor), or he would give limited registration if I continue to comply with contract. Contract only listed 'AKC registration papers' and said nothing of limited or full. He's saying I'm in breach of contract and can be made to pay the money, even if I follow the contract at this point. Also, part of the contract says the dog (a girl) must be bred by her second season unless mutually agreed on by both parties for a later season. He's suppose to choose the stud and no contact was ever made about it, and now the dog is on her third season. The contract makes no mention of who contacts the other person. Did we both breach the contract at that point (without realizing it) and make the contract void?, also, if we both breached it, would I have a good chance of getting full papers without paying the $1,000 payment for breaching?
