As a hobby breeder in California, I produce one litter every 7 months with 3-5 puppies within 14 months. The state defines a breeder as someone who produces 3 or more litters equivalent to 20 puppies within a 12-month period. Would the California dog breeding warranty laws following the definition of a breeder pertain to me in civil court, especially if a puppy I sold was diagnosed with Parvo a week after purchase?

I have a rental debt being handled by a lawyer. I contacted them immediately upon receiving the letter and set up a payment plan. I also proposed a settlement offer of 50% of the debt, which has not been acknowledged by the lawyer or the rental company. The lawyer indicated they hadn't heard back from the client, but the client says they never received the settlement offer. What should I do at this point: keep inquiring, wait and see, rescind my offer and offer more, or lawyer up?
