Question Puppy Lemon law info needed

I am curious after looking at the Lemon law sticky above..My question is does Maryland have a puppy lemon law ? or requirements for the sale of puppies/dogs by breeders/pet stores ?

or are there no law's on the books to protect new owners ?

Any info would be great Thanks

" Lemon Laws:

Sixteen states (Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia) have enacted so-called “lemon laws” — consumer protection measures solely geared to provide specific recourse to members of the public who purchase sick or diseased animals from pet shops. In states where there is no lemon law, the state attorney general’s office, the state department of consumer affairs or the Better Business Bureau may have jurisdiction to address consumer disputes with a particular pet shop. These states also require pet shops to disclose particular information to purchasers and prospective purchasers, which may include the name and contact information of the breeder, any veterinary care provided to the animal prior to sale, a guarantee of good health, the animal’s vaccination history, recommendations for spay/neuter, and/or species-specific care guidelines."

If you have a contract with the breeder, then that falls under breech of contract or breech of warrenty. Do you have a contract and where did you get your dog from and what happened?
