If you're expecting a 7 month old puppy and get a couple of month old puppy then wouldn't it appear to be tiny to you in comparison? I was in shock. I had never read anything negative about this breeder, in fact, one of her puppies grown up was shown on the Yorkie Fair "look who's coming" page. I have a tiny, I have experience with taking care of a tiny. I do not think it's ok for someone to lie to me, fake papers, cause me to have a nervous breakdown.
So, obviously to some of you I should just keep the puppy, let her get away with it and then when she does it to someone else, maybe even another member on here, say "oh, well...too bad for them, it's their fault for not knowing any better". Which I did consider. A puppy has to be healthy to even fly, so come on, do you think I'd ship a puppy that I didn't think could make it?! A puppy I've been sleeping on the floor with to make her nights easier??? She's not really the size of a bird, come on, it was a metaphor for how tiny I felt she was for what I was expecting. If anyone described their puppy as being tiny as a mouse I wouldn't really think it was the SIZE of a mouse.
When I posted I was hoping I was wrong and that someone had a positive experience with this breeder(she has nice references on her site and there are a lot of members here). I will only post this last message and then I'm removing my membership from this site, you guys have broken my heart and there wasn't that much left that wasn't already broken  |
This is being said with all sensitivity to your situation, but I'm totally confused as to why you're sending her back. You said she is healthy (confirmed by the vet) and playful--that sounds wonderful to me. Is it because she is younger than you expected and, therefore, not going to be as TINY as you wanted.
The way to not let a breeder "get away with it" is to not buy in the first place. If she sold you a sickly puppy, that would be completely understandable, but it is sounding like she's not going to be tiny enough for you.
If I'm wrong in my understanding, I apologize, but that is what I gather from your posts. If I have it wrong, please tell, why is it terrible that she is younger than you expected?
