My area is very remote and most people buy puppies online, like I did. There have been a few people that have bought pups off websites like
Puppiescrosscanada.com and
puppyofyourdream.com and the pups ended up dying and then they were ignored by the seller who is selling the poor sick pups. These sellers should be shot in my opinion..anyhoo, one lady who recently lost her pup started a group warning people about one of the above websites..I left a comment there today hoping it may possibly help people looking for a puppy..can you read the below comment and tell me if my points are valid? Thanks so much..
For those looking for a puppy online. First there is no such thing as a "teacup" or "pocket" puppy/dog..this is a name made up by irresponsible breeders to make more money because, for some reason there are people who whould prefer a very tiny dog. Those "teacup" dogs are usually runts they breed to get a dog as small as possible, these dog generally are sickly, be prepared in most cases to have large vet bills if you get a so called "teacup" If a breeder is advertising pocket or teacup puppies stay clear of them!, a reputable breeder will not use these words. Also, before buying a puppy get pics and video if possible of the puppy and the parents, where the puppies stay etc. Don't be afraid to ask questions, a reputable breeder will likely want to ask you questions as well. Brokers are third party sellers that buy from breeders and sell to pet stores or have websites like Puppy of your dreams, these are usually from puppy mills and backyard breeders..do your research.
