So true! While I did have a close friend go pick up the puppy in person so he could fly him home in the cabin of the plane instead of him being in the cargo hold, he didn't get to see her "farm" but met her at the airport. He said that she didn't say much to him and just handed over the puppy and papers. My vet of 12 years said it would be very hard for the dog to have had a clean bill of health the day before flying and get here with such rampant giardia. I can't say for sure if its a puppy mill, but I will say that its great advice to not only meet the person, but visit the home that the puppy is from to check for yourself. We love Baxter tremendously and we're the right family for him (since we work from home and can be with him), but its still heartbreaking to watch a 2 year old puppy foaming at the mouth and having full blown seizures. |
