Believe me, I can't afford to spend $2400 on a pet - but was willing to spend the money b/c I saw it as a business (breeding) expense. For whatever reason the Chaffins have now dropped their prices, but still claim that many of their puppies will be 3 pound adults????
TRUE REVIEWS: Sorry you went through a similar experience -- it is very frustrating to be treated like that and have little recourse. I can't believe a breeder would send such a tiny puppy away from his mom so early. I am glad he is now healthy. Did he at least end up under 3 pounds like the breeder promised? Do you want to share the breeder's name so that we can add it to the list of breeders not to use? |
No Romeo is now 5.5lbs (still small but he is also still growing)
I got Romeo from Jennifer Cole
www.colepups.com
Lexie came from Justin
www.familyyorkies.com
I wouldn't recommend either breeder! I just learned Romeo actually was sold by Jennifer Cole but cam from Janet Miles in Alabama. I guess she is the actual breeder. I suppose that goes to show you can't always trust what people say...Jennifer said she was the breeder. My tips are always check the AKC banned breeder list (there is a Janet Miles on there...weird huh...think it might be the same woman in a different location???) research the breeder you buy from, always ask to see the parents, and well just be careful. I do believe there are good breeders out there! Many find them! I am still looking but I don't recommend using these! Unless you want lies and the risk of losing a baby! If I hadn't stayed with Romeo 24-7 bottle feeding, washing, cleaning, and medicating him he never would have made it. I was like his surrogate mommy. He was sooo young he had to be helped to go to the bathroom at times. So know who you deal with and watch who people on here reccommend! I think that is a better bet bacause people on here are helpful!
