Lambriar is a big broker. (Not a breeder) I recently was going to purchase a maltese puppy from a so-called breeder who was selling him direct and told so many lies that it was outrageous. First, the pup was about 18 weeks old and the reason they had him to sell still (according to her) was that they had sold him to a lady for more then what they were currently asking but didnt feel like it was a good home for him so took him back. In the next breath she mentions they sell puppies to Lambriar which is a broker who only takes the good ones?? Lambriar didnt take him cause he was too small?? Now if they were so concerned about the home this little guy ended up in why would they sell to a broker? I insisted on taking him to my vet to be checked out before I made a decision. My vet looked at his shot records, etc and wondered why he had missed a parvo vaccination after 12 weeks. This pup had a runny stool while I was looking at him and that coupled with his gums being lighter then the vet liked to see them were a couple of red flags as well. The pup was so sweet and I wanted him so bad. He was just a little guy but when they wouldnt give me even a 3 day guarantee against parvo I had to walk away. I still wonder about this little one. 3 days wouldnt have been long enough as it takes about 7 days for symtoms to appear as I understand it but since he had those symptoms (which could have also been related to stress and not parvo) already and since he stole my heart from the moment I saw him I was willing to take a chance that he would be ok or could be treated but when they said no to even 3 days (excuse was he could get it in my home in that lenght of time) I had to let him go.
I knew better and know better but still these little do tug at our heart strings.
I have been looking for a maltese pup and he wasnt even the quality I was looking for but there was "just something about him."
