Jazzy Girl, who did you end up getting your puppy from? If you don't mind me asking. I'm looking to buy a pup, and I'm trying to ween out all the bad breeders in the NJ area with personal experiences. Thanks
BTW, has either of you ever been to that pet shop (AKA puppy hell) on Arnold Ave in Point? |
Hi,
sorry, I have not been on the boards in the past few days, so I did not see your post.
I bought my puppy from:"Elite Puppy" in Brooklyn, NY. He (David) has an impressive web site and sounds 100% above board---but believe me, run as fast as you can. He is nothing but a dog broker, who gets his puppies from puppy mills and then advertises them for being younger than they are, less weight than they are, and AKC registered. None of this is true. He says he will refund your money, but counts on the whole "tugging at your heart strings approach" and by the next day, when you take the puppy to the vet and then start to put the pieces of the puzzle together--you already love the puppy---he's got you and he knows it.
I was orginally going to dispute the charge on my credit card as the puppy being misrepresented. My credit card was prefectly willing to prosecute, because they knew I had a case. BUT that would also mean we had to return the "merchandise" which is our precious baby. No way! At this point the puppy is a month older and much heavier than what he advertises for, AND has allergies; I know he has no use for this puppy ($ wise), however I know he would take her back, just for spite.
We could not imagine what he would have done with our precious baby, so we decided not to pursue this matter through our credit card co.
Bottom line.......Stay away from any place in Brooklyn or NYC that always has Yorkies for sale. They go by the name "Elite Puppy" so they name all the puppies after celebrities. They have a very nice web site, but are as illegit as they come. After research with the Brooklyn, Better Business Bureau--it has been discovered that there is no business license in the name of "Puppy Elite", in Brooklyn, NY or anywhere else in NY, NJ, PA, DL or CT.
