Greeders represent themselves as being legitimate. They rely on an uninformed public in order to continue their methods of operation. People don't purchase puppies from these people because they think they are getting a discount or "junkyard" puppy. They just don't know any better. Puppy mills advertise themselves as being beautiful "puppy farms" in the country where the dogs live lives of ease. While many here know what a puppy mill really is the majority of people have know idea what one really is. I might add that from what I have read many people on YT started out with Yorkies from puppy mills, pet stores or back yard breeders.
It is a common practice to stop payment on a check when one suspects they have been ripped off. This was an illegal transaction to begin with. When the buyer found out what she was involved in she stopped payment on her check. In any other thread people are told giving money to a puppy mill only helps them to continue in business and yet in this case this person deserves the $600.00 to help her stay in business? The woman stays in business because of her ability to swindle people and that is exactly what she was doing to this buyer.If this broker pays the additional vet costs then the buyer needs to be prepared to pay for the puppy. Otherwise the breeder deserves not another cent. While the buyer made the mistake of going to a dishonest breeder/broker she does not deserve the additional expenses that she encountered and would never be recouped from the breeder.
This situation is going to play out one way or another. The buyer made a mistake in judgment but does not deserve the analogy and prejudice that is being shown here. |
