If it were me, I'd have the DNA purity test done (remember the link to the Wisdom Panel website I gave you earlier), get a signed statement from the vet about the adult teeth coming in at 3 months and his best guess as to Jax's true age, and if the vet thinks the breeder was lying to you, I'd report the breeder to the AKC and get their credentials revoked. That's just the activist in me  . BUT, keep Jax, because he is adorable, plus he's a hero if he can nail a bad breeder  . Don't be sad, though. |
my feelings exactly, I believe the OP said he could have had papers if he wanted them. People keep commenting on the look of the parents, I myself have never been convinced those were the parents, probably just some random photos of dogs that the breeder may or may not have had.
When you went the vet he or she should have been able to address the question of age, because of the teeth. Did you discuss that with the vet. I am assuming you don't want to name the breeder publicly but you should share it with some people on here that know how to investigate questionable breeders. This would not only help you get answers but perhaps keep someone else from being taken advantage of, and maybe even shutting down a puppy mill or turn in a dishonest AKC breeder.
