I know you posted that when you held him, he yelped. That seems very strange to me. And I saw in the original post, you stated that there was another 100 puppy. Was that one "shy" also?
When I reread your original post it just seems SO much a puppymill IMO. Tons of breeds, a trailer, cages, not allowing you to see the parents, inconsistent information on birthdates, ect.
None of those signs point to anything but a bad situation to me. I personally would call and have the ASPCA check it out. If all the dogs are in good health and clean conditions the woman won't have any issues. But if there are problems, the dogs will be able to get the help they need.
Of course, it's your call and you know what you saw. Just letting you know what I think from the post  |
The other $100 puppy that was sold was NOT shy. She described him as "brilliant." When she told me on the phone that one was very shy, I had hoped to get the other one. But I was a day late for that. Someone beat me to him!
I did get to see the parents (supposedly). She brought out a male and female dog, and I could see that the female had nipples, so she obviously had given birth. The puppy seemed to recognize the female and immediately went to her and started playing with her.
