If I remember correctly, Oklahoma is huge for puppy mills and alot of puppies are sold from them. Sad to say, I think your aunt is getting a puppy mill puppy.

So sad, I wish she would have waited, jumping the gun is one of the worst things you can do!!!

Your aunt is buying from the broker, not a breeder..so she has to deal with the broker. Most breeders who sell to a broker do so in order not to deal with the buyers,most are commerical breeders..the money is a guarantee from the broker and if there is a problem, the broker handles it. TO breeders such as this, it is a business, for many it is their income.

The airline will not ship with this hot weather..it will have to ease up..good luck

I bought Dexter from a breeder that was in Texas in 2004. He arrived as planned at Baltimore Washington Airport and for the 1st week I exchanged emails with the breeder. A few months later I sent an email to the breeder and it bounced. By this time my little fur baby was starting to act up. He was in puppy training classes but it was not improving his behavior. He was biting us everyday, I was considering having him put down. My mother is a senior citizen and she was home with Dexter the majority of the time and he was biting her severely. He bit her top lip and left a scar that she still has today. Since I can find no info on the "Little mound Kennel" in Sandy Springs, TX, I'm starting to believe it might be a puppy mill. Also the brokers at anypet.com had changed their cell phone numbers. Now that Dexter will be five years old he has calmed down a bit.

What was so wrong that you considered having him put down? He must have been mighty sickly.

My mother was babysitting Dexter (11 mo. old) and she let him out. He ran into traffic and was hit by a car. After the surgery to save him. He started biting both of us daily w/o provocation. He would just jump up and bite my mom. She's a diabetic and several times her bites became infected. Since being hit by the car I can no longer bath him he tries to destroy the bathroom and bite off my hand. He was showing a lot of aggression. I tried to contact the breeder to find out about his parents/siblings to see if they showed this aggression. That's when I found out that the email address for breeder and cell phone numbers for anypet.com brokers no longer worked. I contacted a pet behaviorist and a trainer and worked with them to control Dexter. Now he is very sweet.

Thank goodness it all worked out and he didn't get put down. I had a cat that I had for 13 years that everyone in my family called the psycho cat because she would attack for no reason, anyone except me and my kids, but I would never give up on her. Well, anyway, when we had to evacuate for Hurricane Rita and when we got home she attacked all of us. I mean blood was everywhere! I managed after an hour to get her in her carrier and rushed her to the vet. She bit the vet and 2 techs, and was going so crazy that she was rocking her carrier (hard plastic). The vet said she had dementia and needed to be put down because basically the stress of evacuating had caused her to go insane. I cried for two weeks. The worst part was that Rita took that last minute turn and didn't affect our home at all, so we could have stayed home.

When I looked at anypet.com it appeared to me to be a website where breeders can list their puppies. It doesn't appear to sell the puppies at all. Am I wrong?
