I have been reading the threads and I am so sick to my stomach. I guess I fell into the trap as well. I bought my baby girl Riley in December and she came home with me in January. I would agree with the other postings regarding Denise and her smooth talking ways. It all clicks now...not getting AKC papers and her getting angry when I pressed her on this issue, saying that she wouldn't let me take the puppy if I had such a "issue" with it. Also, she would have me sit for hours in her living room while she dissappeared to get the puppies one by one for me to look at, saying that her husband liked to have the puppies with him. There was also an incident where I had picked out the girl I wanted then went back to pick her up and she brought down 2 girls and told me that I would have to pick again bc she couldn't remember bc the puppies change in appearance so much week to week!! She then almost didn't let me take the puppy I had paid in full for in December bc she said another woman had put a deposit down after me and she needed to get a chance to look at both females in the litter. She then asked me if I had a camera phone and had been taking pix of the the puppy I wanted...I said yes bc I thought it was odd she was asking, and figured she was probably going to switch puppies on me. Another thing she does is that she gives her own injections to the pups instead of a vet, she said she was trained appropriately but now I wonder if she even gave the vaccinations!! Looking back now, I see all the red flags and am so mad at myself!!
My puppy unfortunately had a parasitic infection, coccidia, which she actually had no symptoms of and her stools have been bug-free since. I had left several messages with Denise to inform her of the infection but she never returned my calls!
But now I am freaking out about the liver shunt disease. Riley is known to easily vomit, also she salivates like crazy; and I had actually had her urine checked bc I noted that she drinks water like crazy and pees like crazy!! I am going to the vet tomorrow!! I am utterly disgusted with Denise and feel very betrayed!!
