I am the new mommy to 2 puppies.12 week old Sasha-and 8 week old Greta.The 12 week old I bought from a "Champion Breeder" or so I thought.The 8 week old was a gift from my neighbor..he bought her from a byb.Anyways what Im getting at is...I made the biggest mistake and went by what I saw on this breeders website.The website had all these showring pictures of his studs and bitches,it showed beautiful dogs that just made your jaw drop!!WHAT I DIDNT KNOW IS HE NEVER SHOWED THEM!!He buys the dogs after they have recieved these titles.I will give him he has dogs with superb pedigrees....but thats it!!Long story short...I had him email me a pic of what he had avialible and.talked to him over the phone for 3 days.I picked out a female from the pics he sent me.
He lives 2 hours away and offered to bring the dog to my house,well stupid me dosent see anything wrong with it after all we have talked about over the phone(he is a verry smooth talker and anwsers all the questions right).
He comes with a female that really didnt look like the one I picked but was told the picture was 4 weeks old.She was soooo scared,but I thought it was because of being in a new place.
He :(
He was in a hurry,had me sign the health cert.,made our price exchange,and was gone.
After he left I noticed the health papers were filled out in the same handwriting(top and bottom)so I called the vet to inquire.
I was told the vet lets him fill out the bottom cause the breeder brings at least 10 puppies per visit and the vet dosent have time to fill in each one.????????????
This was 2 weeks ago when he droped her off.The same day he dropped her off she had the worst runs...just pooping liquid.I called up the breeder and told him I wanted to visit his place.
I was adament..and finally he agreed.The place was a dump!!All of his dogs are in kennels in thier own feces,with no food.His show studs and females were nothing like in the pics on the website!!They had dropped at least 20-30 lbs from what they were.I griped about the health of my puppy and told him he would pay my vet bill(and he agreed).
She was ate up with hookworms!!
She has been treated and is working on being the healthy beautiful pup she deserves to be.
Im still running rounds with him over my girls slight limp she has,and her paperwork(she is from europe and I was told it would take a while to get her pappers from there.)
THE POINT TO THIS LONG,LONG STORY I JUST SHARED...IS NEVER BY ONLINE UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY..OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO PERSONALLY KNOWS WHAT YOUR GETTING!!!
I WAS NAIEVE...BUT I HAVE LEARNED A GREAT LESSON IN LIFE!!
