Revelle I purchased a "breeding pair" of chocolate toy Poodles from Pat last year.
I had emailed back and forth with Pat in regards to the pair. They were supposed to be 2 and 3 years old.
Being Mothers Day weekend I had plans to take my mother out on Sun, which is the day Pat wanted to meet in Lexington as she was going to be at her daughters that day. So my husband offered to drive the 3 hours one way and pick them up for me. I wish I would have gone along and taken my mom out another day.
My husband called my cell from the daughters home on his cell. He said that Pat said she had forgotten the papers and wanted to know if it was ok to go ahead and take them. Having seen her website and the fact that she was a show breeder I thought she was trustworthy so I said yes.
They were beautifully groomed. All fluffed up and gorgeous.
It wasn't until I put my hands on the male that I could feel every bone in his frail body. I checked his teeth and they were horrible.
Took them both in to my vet the next day. In his opinion these dogs were 8 -10 yrs old.
I emailed Pat over and over again and never heard anything from her. She refused to answer calls or emails.
Buyer Beware, stay far away from this breeder. |
