I thought tomorrow was going to be one of the happiest days of my life, but it is not to be.

Two months ago I lost my beloved Chanel, which was devastating. After a month of looking for a couple of Biewer pups, (I wanted a boy and a girl), I found a breeder that lived half an hour way from me. I went over, fell in love with a little boy that I named Cosmo, went back and visited him several times, fell in love, and paid for him in full. I thought he was mine and I was so happy. Then one week before I was supposed to take him home, the breeder called to say he had elevated kidney levels so I would not be able to buy him after all, as she knew that Chanel had died of kidney failure. Then She referred me to a good friend of hers, Kathy Scotts of ScottsBiewers. Kathy sent me pics of a bunch of her pups, and I picked out a girl and boy and agreed to buy them. About a week ago, she all of a sudden decided that she did not want to sell them to me after all, and told me I should look elsewhere. The next day she decided she would sell them to me after all. A concerned member here contacted me to say that Kathy was very undependable and has backed out of MANY contracts many times, including to her. I really appreciated her kindness in telling me that, but I had already fallen in love with them and decided to go ahead and take the chance that she would not change her mind at the last minute.

I had a flight booked to Seattle early TOMORROW morning and told Kathy that it was non refundable and I had to have a firm commitment that she would be there. She said she would definitely be there. This afternoon I texted her to ask what food the puppies were eating so I could buy some, and she texted back to say she was bringing me two DIFFERENT puppies than what I had agreed to buy! I phoned her and asked her what was going on. She said there had been a terrible accident and that my girl had died and my boy was fighting for his life and that THEY had been at the vet ALL WEEK long. I told her I had spoken to her just THREE days ago when I booked my flight and all was fine. I asked her why she did not even tell me about the accident when it happened, and she said because she figured she would just bring me different puppies. WHAT??? I could not believe it! I asked her how on earth both of my puppies could be in an “accident”, and one died and the other is fighting for his life, but all of her other pups are fine. She would NOT tell me what happened.

I then phoned my first breeder who referred me to Kathy and told her what happened. She told me that Kathy said the “accident” happened a week ago, but she had no idea what the accident was. So, when I talked to Kathy on Monday afternoon, and I told her I was booking the flight, my girl had already died!!!!! And she didn’t even tell me and still let me book the flight! She had planned all along to switch the pups and bring me different ones. I am so disheartened to know there are breeders like her around. And I am devastated once again to lose a couple of pups that I thought were MINE!

So here I am, first I lost Chanel, then I lost Cosmo, and now I have lost Lacy and Levi. It just keeps getting sadder and sadder.
