Is the pup registered yet? If not, you could DNA at the same time you register him, so the pups DNA has his registered name on the certificate and was not listed as being named "Puppy A". How old is the pup, is he ready to leave now? DNA through AKC takes 8 -10 weeks for the results, so did you expect the breeder to hold the pup for an additional 8-10 weeks for you until the DNA came back?
I've purchased several of my girls from this breeder and they've always DNA'd to the correct parents. I know many others who've purchased their pups from this breeder ... I've heard of none who's DNA came back incorrectly.
So before you make defaming accusations about a person, it would be nice if you maybe talked to others who know and own the breeders pups. Also, contacting the BBB and AKC to see if there have been any problems or complaints with the breeder would be wise, before you come out publicly, making these types of accusations and hurting a breeders reputation.
Buyers should be cautious, especially inexperianced ones. References from past buyers and vets are a must - did you check any references? If you had, maybe you wouldn't be here today making these hurtful claims. |
I have done my research on the breeder, had some references that checked out fine, however others did not. Her 'specialty' was with Chows, and she claimed that she had 36 that died of 'natural causes'. Khloe's breeder allowed a professor that I know from UNC to come and take DNA samples which were returned in a week, since she has a parti-recessive gene (this was all done at my expense). She also portrayed to be a 'hobbyist breeder', and some of her references claimed she ran many litters at the same time, something that I wasn't looking for. So, I'm glad you had a good experience with her. She said she was getting older and getting out of the business and slowing down, yet her references said she was in the business hard and heavy. I want honesty in a breeder, and I did not get that. I'm glad you did.
