I almost had that happen to me once when I went to see a Chihuahua puppy a few years ago. We arrived at dusk and as we drove up I realized that what looked like cattle pens were outside runs with bigger dogs of SEVERAL breeds. The woman met me on the porch with 2 little puppies that felt damp, like they had been laying in urine or something.She did not invite me in the house but pushed the pups in my hand for me to look at. When I said I couldn't tell much about them because the light was bad she pulled me over to a porchlight so I could see better!!!!! I told her I couldn't buy a dog if I couldn't see the parents and she excused herself, went into the house and came back with a pitiful Chihuahua mom that made me want to cry. I even suggested we go into the house so I could see everything better and she refused because "the place was a mess"
I felt so sorry for the animals and asked my husband what to do and he said I could buy the pup if I wanted but it would only be encouraging that abusive lady to keep breeding. He was right, I told her NO thanks and left. On the drive home we decided to turn her in and we did report it but I don't know if anything came out of it.
People like that make me sick making a living off the backs of God's animals.
Like your lady she was very deceptive on the telephone. I was convinced she was a sweet granny type lady that just bred one litter for the experience, then the dog accidentally got pregnant a second time!
...follow your gut....and trust very few.
