What is the name of your state? IL
I entered a verbal contract with a dog breeder. The agreement took place when the breeder was living in a house, was employed, and had a kennel for the dog. The agreement was that he would give us a female dog to "foster" until she was ready to breed. When she was ready to deliver she would stay with him for 5 weeks. Once she was bred once or twice he would pay to spay her and she would officially be ours. Her county license if registered to me. Since the time we agreed on this contract the breeder moved into an apartment with no room to whelp puppies, or have dogs, has been evicted and arrested for posession of a weapon. I've found out he has a felony charge in his past amongst other charges. He is now unemployed and has no place to live.
I think my concerns about letting him take my dog for 5 weeks are warranted. Is there a breach of contract on his part and what would my chances be in court of fighting him on this if it came to that. I'm mostly worried for the safety of my dog. He had a dog at home with one month old puppies when he was arrested. I can only guess where they are now.
