When I look at a website, I know they can say anything they want. They
can give you twenty pages of ways to care for them to make themselves
look good. They can say, they guarantee and when you get there, nothing
is in writing and it isn't worth squat. They can post pictures that are not
even theres( we've just gone through that with puppyfind) They can show
you pedigrees that don't even belong to their dogs and promise you papers
that never come. It's the buyers job to do their homework and the ol saying
BUYER BEWARE never meant more than it does when buying a pet that will
be your companion for possibly 12 to 15 years. After Hollybelle, I believe
nothing unless I see it with my own eyes and would never ship. This gal
at Hollybelle had Villa Malta Maltese (the best line and the original) she
advertised in Dog World for 8 to 10 years with different well know people in
her ads . The one with Bill Ray Cyrus holding a Malese as if he bought it was
in there for years and she was shipping them out at 2000 a crack and that
was years ago. When people came to pick them up which I hear she tried
to hide from, she went to her x-husband's house with the puppy. She sent
everyone the same set of beautiful pictures and when she was arrested
people could not believe it was as bad as it was. They knew they had been
taken because so many had sick pups but they each thought they were the
only ones. Oh, yes in her ad she offered a five year guarantee on health(not
in writing) so she'd get sued and she didn't care because her poor dog were
popping out puppies as fast as they could. Sorry this is so long but I just
feel most people are way too trusting. Look how long it took to lock this
woman up and two of her four x husbands are breeding with some of her
dogs now.
