My concern about the situation isn't whether or not you'll be supporting a bad breeder. I would be concerned about having the puppy brought into your home and finding something wrong with her. Then, do you return the dog that you've already bonded with or keep a puppy you know will have problems? I realize that you've spent quite a bit of money on a deposit and plane ticket, but surgeries and numerous trips to the vet are going to be far more costly than they money you've already spent. If you do find something is not right with this breeder- walk away. It will be a good lesson learned a VERY hard way, but you will be better off for it. You can keep everything you've already bought for your future puppy, and begin to look for a more credible breeder. We actually have quite a few right here on YT. Don't get this pup just because you've looked for a long time and are desperate for your pup. Beleive me, I understand the feeling- I searched more than 9 months for my Olivia! If you find out bad information about this breeder, save your heart and your bank account a lot of damage and walk away from this puppy. Good luck in whatever you chose to do. |
