 didnt get what I paid for
Ok, here goes again. Many years ago I purchased a "show" pup from a reputable breeder/exhibitor. The pup looked great: cobby body, silk hair, pretty face, small ears and nice gait. I noticed that the pup had a slight underbite and not suitable for showing. The breeder/exhibitor and the handler assured me that if I pushed on the bottom teeth several times per day, the bite would even out enough to show.(duh) so after many weeks of doing this the bottim teeth became loose, so I stopped. The reputable breeder/exhibitor recommened banding the teeth and knew someone who coud do it. (AKC no no) I suggested a refund or a partial refund if I got the pup fixed. That was a BIG NO!! The breeder said I should be happy to have a pup of this quality and all the other exhibitors would want the champion bloodlines. I should use this pup for breeding. So, I bred the pup (as an adult). I got a few good pups, but many with underbites(what a surprise). After the pup became an adult, it was very apparant that it was not "show" quality as the pup became too light in color and 9 lbs. I didnt have any expensive health issues, but the pup was not what I paid for: a show puppy. |
