Problems I see:
-- Her site only offers two methods of delivery for puppies: (1) Meet part way and (2) air travel. So, she has said up front you won't be getting puppies from her home.
-- She sells from AKC, APRI, and CKC dogs. Her APRI and CKC dogs do not look at all to be breeding quality from the pictures.
-- She specifically says in her contract that she alone will decide when to deliver the pups, USUALLY between 8-10 weeks. But that she does not guarantee delivery dates. I understand not guaranteeing them as anything could happen, not gaining well, catching a cold, etc. But letting them go before 8 weeks????
-- Her health guarantee is crap. It does not really guarantee anything. It says if you get a vet to write that the dog is not healthy for purchase within 72 hours you may exchange, BUT she does not include minor illnesses, parasites, etc..... There is no extended warranty for genetic problems, nothing all all beyond the 72 hours!!
-- And now she is saying the puppy you put a deposit on is not even hers, it is her daughters.... that is another website that she has listed on her site. But who is guaranteeing the puppy, this lady or the daughter, who is held reponsible if something does go wrong even in the first 72 hours? The whole deal reeks to me and I would just cut bait and run. Actually this last point might be grounds for getting your deposit back. But if she does not agree, going to court to get $200 back is usually not worth it.
