And that didn't make you run the other way? Cos it takes very little research to discover proper business practice details that you get a contract regardless of whether the dog is pet quality or show/breeding quality.
that i could have papers on her!!! and that she would send all paper work with her!! then i talked to her about showing and maybe one day starting a breeding program Am I the only one confused by this??? Am I understanding right... that you bought a pet quality puppy for only $1250 (definately pet quality price in my area.) but were even initially thinking about using this pup as the starting base of a breeding program? .....after getting her and seeing how she was i called glenda and she then said breed her you can get that show dog that you wanted can start your breeding program with your line and that should make up for how bella was when she came to me!!! and then that is when she sent me a contract in e-mail today only saying that i have to get agreement with her to give full registration on any puppy i would have in future and that she gets one pick puppy out of the litter, i told her i didnt want to sign it because if i was to ever breed this dog i dont want her name on my papers and that i want control over my breeding program because i see how she handles her dogs and i would never do it how she has with me!!! Isn't this standard practice of any breeder to have some control over lines they established and championed? Again, this points to why it is so important to buy the breeder first and chose someone with whom you are comfortable working with closely on a longterm basis. also i didnt feel right sending her a puppy to live how bella had been raised for 7 months!! i told her just send me her papers and vet work and to follow through with what she said she would do and she keeps changing what she will do??? I agree that you should get limited registration papers for the puppy you purchased. But I personally don't believe you are entitled to full registration papers without a signed contract with the breeder. I'm intending this to come across in the most polite way possible, while expressing a contradictory view...but, as you weren't informed enough to make a sound purchase of a single puppy, I would assume any breeder would question your education/preparedness to start a breeding program with one of their pups. i don't know what to say or do nothing can make up for how Bella is and what she has went through and how me and my family feels or the work we have to put into her!!

i wish i had someone to mentor me and help me do what i have always dreamed of doing she told me that is what she wanted to do but i see that can't happen cause the teacher is suppose to be smarter then the student..... i know i would do things way different then she has. all my rescues went spay or neutered or with contract to do so and they had all they vet work in writing and i did interview with new owner and made sure they were happy with the dog and the dog was happy with them and sooooo much more too just to make a long story short red flags showed up after i paid for her i did feel bad for glenda alil because of some personal things she told me and thought maybe she was over whelmed and thought maybe we could help each other in a way i dont maybe i was blind and some of this is my fault i trusted her to much!!!

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Thank you for making a record of your story and sharing it...hopefully it helps someone else be more cautious when looking to buy a puppy in the future and will make them want to educate themselves and get a sound contract(s). And remember, a contract to purchase a puppy is just like any other legal contract and can be modified to protect you as well as the breeder. I requested reasonable changes be made to my contract and the breeder agreed to them.
