The lawyer said I do have grounds to stand on with the contract. After our discussion, here is what I have decided to do.

1. Find out what the trainer said about the dog.

2. Interview the brother in law who has the dog now and see if I feel he is capable of dealing positively with Cooper. He will need to fill out a contract also if he proves to be a good candidate home. This contract will state he is to contact me every three months with behavior updates and sooner if he thinks he has a aggression problem.

3. If he does not agree to the contract, I will take the dog back immediately. I am also prepared to pay 1/2 of the purchase price of the pup back to the original owners. If there is a hard time at that point, then I will file suit and get the dog back legally.

I am really hoping that it doesn't get to the point of legal intervention.

Thanks for all the moral support and encouragement. It means a lot!
