I feel so bad for your friend. I could totally see giving a breeder more money if they said they needed it for you to get the puppy. Sometimes you just want the darn puppy you have your heart set on! It sounds like he should start looking into legal action. Also, if he posts his experience on badbreeder.org, ripoffreport.com, also have him sign up for YT and contact the Better Business Bureau. The more places he puts the word out the better!
Plus, he's more likely to get his money back. I've been in that type of situation. Usually it's not just you it happens to, there will be others out there.
I posted a bad review about a breeder and received a letter from their lawyer. I called up the lawyer and told them I would not recant my review because it was true! You can't let people get away with this type of stuff.
If more people stand up to unethical, greedy breeders it will save so many people and innocent puppies out there. I haven't dealt with this breeder in particular, I always thought they had gorgeous dogs(but the price tags were OMG high). Please make sure your friend gets a lawyer and starts getting the word out there on what happened to him. |
