i had this happen to me along time ago with a rotty puppy my hubby bought...the woman told me she had the pup to the vet even gave me the vets name for the shots and checkup...well three days after i had the puppy he got deathly sick so i called the vet where she told me he had his shots at and the met me in the office for an emergency call...she done a parvo test on him and it came back possitive so she kept him ofcourse...well in the meantime we was talking about the woman and she looked his records up to see what shots he had there well come to find out the breeder never had him there for any shots....the last littler of puppies she had there was like three years prior to my puppy...so he had no shots when i got him but the funny thing is when she was there three years b4 this it was for parvo and the vet told me that parvo lives in your ground for seven years so it was in her yard there was no way around the pup getting it unless she had gave all her dogs shots and pup also which she didnt....so when i got home i called the woman back and told her what was going on and that i knew the pup had no shots and she went on to say to me that i crazy that she had gave the shots herself which wasnt true either...but funny thing was she tried to tell me the dog got parvo from my house but like the vet told me parvo is in thier system for 14 days b4 they get sick with it and i only had the dog for no more than three days....but it was going to still be hard to prove this to a court until the vet called me a few days later and ask me if she could give my number to another lady that had came in for the same reason i had my pup there for and had bought a puppy from the same littler mine was from and of course i said yes i wanted to see what she had told her and come to find out her dong had parvo also and the breeder had told her the same BS she told me....and every time i called the breeder the hubby would cuss me out and i mean vulgar stuff he would say...and i just said the heck with it i mean these ppl were just trashy ppl but i did call akc on her so what ever the did to her she deserved because she wasnt taking care of her dogs and seeing to it they got the medical help the needed.....my dog lived through it and so did the other womans that came from the same litter as my pup.....it ended up costing me over 600$ to get him better but it was worth it...i got him better then found him a new home because we had to moce and couldnt have a big dog where we lived at....but all this goes to show is you cant always trust the breeders it is sad but true...alot of these ppl are just in it for a quick buck and not for the dogs....*hugs* i hope you have better luck next time and find you a baby you can love i know this loss was hard for you. |
