Jane sells pure bred retriever puppies. Bill contacts Jane to buy his daughter a puppy for her birthday. Jane calls her breeder and learns that she can get a pure bred retriever by Saturday. Bill signs a contract to pay Jane $500 for the pure bred retriever to arrive Saturday morning. On the morning of the transaction a beautiful puppy arrives, but it is a retriever and poodle mix, known as a “Labra-doodle.” What are the parties’ options under this situation?
What will be an ideal response?
The parties had a valid contract, but Jane has breached the contract by failing to provide the goods specified in the contract. This is assuming that the contract clearly stated the breed of dog that was bargained for and given in exchange. Bill can refuse to accept delivery of the nonconforming dog. If he accepts delivery of the nonconforming dog, he can sue for damages. The amount of damages he may have will be based on the value of the dog contracted for and the value of the dog received.
