I, in order not to leave there with my hair in a mohawk, quickly changed the subject & never went back!! If it had happened today I would have very tactfully told her what I thought about that practice!!  |
I have to agree, We got Tigger at ten weeks old. I don't think that who we got him from was very smart. She first advertised him at five weeks old on the internet(should have been my first big red flag! but I'm so hard headed that I didn't think of it at the time) and that was around the end of july, said he wouldn't be ready to go until Augest 20th, but let him go anyways on Aug 13th. My boyfriend bought him home early as a surprise. I had my suspicion's about her and thought about Pulling out of the sale( after talking to my boyfriend about this), decided even if she was a BYB or a puppy mill at least he'd have a lot better life with us. He hasn't had any health problems as of yet, He's hyper, a TOTAL cuddlebunny, Mouthy, and The best gift ever. I could never ask for anything better.
His supposed birthday is June 11th,2005. Which our vet confirmed. But I would NEVER buy from her or any other dog on the net agian.
It breaks my heart when people come into my work with six or even five week old puppies and say that the breeder had to get rid of them or someother Lame excuse. It happens quite frequently. I seriously wish I could speak to some of these dip you know whats and slap the crap out of them. Grrrr.......
