Unfortunately, my husband and I did not find this information concerning Chrissy Wiig, until after we had returned home with our snorkie and did a google search on her. Red flags were flying when we saw the Missouri plates (puppy mill state) on her SUV and when I looked at the sheet of paper with the pups supposeded immunization shots. It stated that she was the breeder (when we were assuming we were just meeting a person who had two dogs to rehome) and no vet information on it. We had answered an add on craigslist.org about two snorkies located in southern Iowa needing rehoming. The person stated that their college age daughter had brought these two 10 week old dogs home from Oklahoma and the parents "were just not DOG people." That was the first lie. Her second lie, they are only eight weeks, not 10. Responding to our email, her third lie was she lived in Lamoni, Iowa and could meet us at the Welcome Center there. Not a problem for us, I might not want strangers coming to my house, either. Little did we know we were dealing with the infamous dog breeder of Blythdale, Missouri. We took the pup to the vet, this morning, and so far he looks pretty healthy. He is a very good little pup and I hope we will have many years with him. We wish she would have been honest with us about the fact that she was a breeder. We do not have a problem with having a mixed breed dog or buying from a breeder. Yes, a purebred would be nice, but these little guys (the mutts as someone stated earlier)need a good home too. With her lies, it just made us doubt whether or not he was healthy and that he had actually had his shots. Chrissy, if you are reading this, I hope you can live with all your lies. You couldn't even respond to my email questions, yesterday, and I won't attempt to call you because I probably would not have a lot of nice things to say to you. I told you I have some friends in the Lamoni area and I have told them what has happened. I hope they spread the word. And that's no lie! |
