| oh because this paticular breeder said her dogs are AKC DNA registered, kind of like a sellling point. To put a long story short, I ended up buying a little girl from her this past friday at 9 weeks. She is now ill, she has diarreah and is vomiting. I am keeeping her hydrated until I get her into the vet at 11am. She also told me that she would be sending the papers via mail. Is this normal procedure ?

| That and she released that poor pup way to young. She could be having problems due to stress or she is sick due to something else. Please take her to a vet ASAP if you haven't already.

| Yes she did release her way too young. I opened another thread on sick and injured for some help. My baby had diarrhea, and started to vomit foam. I took her to the vet this afternoon, and they did a fecal, and found coccidea. What really made me mad is that she would not even pick up her phone all day yesterday, and when I called her again this morning, she pretty much told me it was my fault. I will never buy a dog, the way I did (ebay classified). Such a bad expeirence. I didn't even see the parents to this pup, she only had an adult yorkie at her home that was gorgeous but not the mama.

The bright side of this is your so called breeder is responsible for your pups vet fees. Yep! You live in California and there are stringent Lemon Laws. She's responsible for a whole lot more. Sounds more like she's a broker and not the breeder.

| That's what I was thinking too, broker. If that is in fact true, then your baby was taken from momma way before you got her.

But, I did notice you've been a member here since last June. I'm not being rude, but I'm scolding. It has been enough time for you to have learned how to pick your breeder. Know about contracts, picking a healthy pup, etc. So, a bit of the responsibility lays with you .

However I do understand that I made a huge mistake here, and am now paying the price.You live and learn right.Honestly I wish I had the time to be on her 24/7 and research everthing I need to know about the breed, but that's just impossible for me to do so. To tell you the truth, I'm still learning about the website, and how it all works.

There are what are called stickies at listed in every section. There are a few on how to pick your breeder, your pup. The first rule of thumb is you buy your breeder first, then your pup. If you don't feel comfortable with your breeder, leave. I don't care how cute that pup is, cause all pups are cute. A reputable breeder is one that is there for you 7x24 and stands by their breeding. But, again let me reiterate, this horrible breeder you bought your pup from is responsible for your pups vet bills and that is per California Law. I hope once you get this settled you reveal who the breeder was so, that no one else has to go through what you're going through. Use this site to your advantage, ask questions, when need be. But, you did the right thing, you got your baby to the vet. Coccidia is common and may have not reared it's ugly head, had the pup not been removed from it's mom at such a young age.

Mardelin, where are these laws stated ? Is there a website on it ? I'm pretty sure this has happened to her before, as she had her friend whom was there at the time of purchase call me, to see what was wrong. I spoke with her, and let her know that I was on my way to the vet. When I said that she said I could come to the breeders or sellers house so they can look at her, and take care of her for a couple of hours if needed. I wansn't about to take any chances, so I said no, and told her I think the vet should look at her. She told me that her friend(breeder/seller) had albon if needed because the vet was going to charge me alot of money for it. Ugh I really didn't know there were puppy brokers, but the more I think about things, the more it sounds so true. I never did see the parents, and she told me she would send me the AKC registration.

I didn't know about brokers until I came here too. the more I know now, the more I think my Uni could have come from one too. the lady who I got her from didn't have the mom there, just a picture of her, who she said was at her house. The pups were at her place of business. She owned a company that manufactured and imported doggy strollers, toys, wrought iron beds, etc. We were terribly uninformed but fell in love with her, so we bought her. Things could have gone horribly wrong for us, thank goodness they didn't. The lady didn't have papers with her either, she sent them to me weeks afterwards. It was hard to get her back on the phone too.
