Teresa, yes that was the guarantee that usually goes with her puppies. For the first puppy I had, we didn't sign a contract because she had locked herself out of her office so we were going to email/scan/sign later BUT *Pixie* did die within 48 hours. I called her right away and she said that she usually required in autopsy but "took my word for it". She agreed to replace her with another puppy. This was back in November 2010. Finally the time came to get my replacement puppy in which was the past weekend (Jan. 29) and she didn't offer a warranty or contract with her because she was a replacement. So even if I wanted to do something about it, I couldn't.
So I'm hoping with the out-reach to all of you that she will get a "word of mouth" wake-up call for what kind of breeding she's doing. This woman was on my facebook and I considered her a nice person. Since this morning, I have deleted her from Facebook and blocked all contact. I don't want to see her, look at her fb page, or even see her name anywhere on my computer or phone.
Help me spread the word guys, and maybe by the Grace of God she will feel guilty enough to stop doing what she's doing. I appreciate each and every one of you. |
I really hope you inform the breeder of this even if you can't receive a refund, if she only hears of her successes, she will never learn that puppies this size are very vulnerable. Also, I believe Florida is one of the states with a puppy lemon law, and you might want to look into this. We have a breeder review forum and you might want to write a review on this breeder, it will get more notice than your thread here in the Health and Diet Forum. Here's the Breeder Review Forum.
