he has nothing to gain really by selling me a pup for so cheap and cheating me, i'd take him to court if the vets tell me she's sick right off the bat, and he wasn't willing to give me my money back...speaking of which, i am taking her to the vet the first chance i get...and i'm going to make him do a vet check too!! he was more than happy to!!
and i don't know if i told you this, but the pup is registered with APRI (what's the difference between APRI and AKC anybody??) and Marvin's wife Linda (so sweet on the phone) she says they've been having a vet come out and check things over and they're getting licensed soon, (what does licensing in MO require)??
Thanks to those who will help answer these questions!! |
APRI is the worst registry there is! that is especially for the puppymillers!! This is what my dog was registered with before I knew and was tricked
Wow I really wish you would take a step back and really consider what you may be getting yourself into, I know you want to save this puppy now but you think it's so simple to sue him after if theres lots of vet costs? No you cant because he isn't guaranteeing you anything! Its basically sold as is.
And when I spoke with the puppymillers who bred my dog they were EXTREMELY nice as well! but who cares how "nice" they are, they are doing something wrong and illegal! These guys were licensed in Missouri as well and it sure doesn't mean much since they were able to breed tons of yorkies and other breeds in kennels that were born with lots of issues and brought lots of heartache for CHEAP! as well!
