If the seller desires to contest the certification of the purchaser’s veterinarian, the seller shall have the right, within 14 days of notification by the purchaser of the findings of the purchaser’s veterinarian, to require the purchaser to produce the dog for examination by a licensed veterinarian designated by the seller at the seller’s expense. The purchaser must also deliver to the seller a copy of the veterinarian’s certification, including copies of all findings, laboratory tests and other medical records in the possession of the purchaser’s veterinarian relied upon when certifying that the seller’s information was inaccurate or misrepresented. If the parties cannot resolve the claim within 14 business days following receipt of the veterinarian’s information, either party may file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute. If a party or the party’s veterinarian acts in bad faith, the other party may collect reasonable attorney fees.
