Sorry, when I tried to report the site it was only if we thought they were using it to get info from us.

I will try to contact someone to remove my previous post.

GIARDIA AND COCCIDIA AND KENNEL COUGH :eek:
you are right.
they need to be stopped
ulimate pets
ultimate puppies
how can that nice looking
family be so evil?
looks are totally decieving.
this must be the husbands full time job
probably paying for their lifestyle off the lives of those poor animals
\isnt there a law against selling sick puppies?
i think they could be shut down for spreading communicable diseases
they need to go to jail
the parents need to be locked in a cage
a hot one

After reading all of the posts, my heart goes out to you. I hope you take the advice and not bother with a lawyer - that guy was trying to scare you. Like you don't have enough on your plate. I fell in love with a dog in a photo, too. Hope you have many years with the angel you ended up adopting. My sympathies about your loss of your daughter-in-law. Hugs and welcome!

My baby to you...
 
Maxi,
After reading your story. I have a Yorkie named Bently she is going to be at least 10 lbs and she is playful and happy...
My heart breaks after reading your story and I know she is healthy and happy... You may have her for your family...She is so full of love...
She is my Happy Happy Joy Joy Puppy...
If you need her for your family... PM me....your story is just heart breaking...
Hopefully you can rehabilitate the one you have, but if not you may have my Bentley to help put a smile on those grandchildren's face...
:fallen:
That Breeder just breaks my heart...

This issue has totally captivated my attention. I think these breeders are a puppy mill. I also have looked extensively at the images of the puppies and believe it might be the same one. Just that when the photo on the website was taken it was before the puppy became so ill.

I am posting these images below. I do photo restoration and old, old photos are sometimes have to have the 'color' restored as well. I have used one of my programs to take some of the 'blueness' out of the sick puppy image and it is 'more like' in color with the original photo from the website (which is the work of a professional photographer).

Just like humans, when gravely ill, there is a marked change in the appearance. Please view the image below and tell me if you think it might be the same puppy....just gravely ill.

Anything is possible, but it is more common than not that these websites pose puppies in cute outfits and use the same pictures over and over, and act like the person is getting one particular puppy. It takes time to take these pictures, why not just use the same ones over an over? Even the breeder said that wasn't the same puppy, and maybe it was "switched" at the airport. The two puppies don't look the same to me because the first picture which should be the youngest has much bigger ears than in the second picture. In addition the coloring looks different as well as the shape of the eyes.

The eyes look more oval or round to me... I wasn't sure...but I think they look different.

I agree completely

Just the fact that the breeder suggested that the airline switched the puppies is both suspicious and asinine. I keep up with all sorts of animal issues, and I haven't read of any conspiracies where airlines are switching puppies. I didn't think about it this morning because I was so tired from being in the ER all night, but I agree with an earlier poster than Maxi should contact the airline. Since the breeder put that in an e-mail (if I'm remembering correctly), that's considered libel, so the airline might take some interest in this and scare the crap out of this guy themselves. Even better, maybe they'll actually sue him. I know I would.

sammiz 07-17-2008 05:13 PM

I wasn't trying to salvage the rep of the breeder in any way, believe me! I think they should be shut down and if this puppy is in fact a different puppy....as the vet did state...I would sue them for bait and switch. Also the point about blaming it on the airlines is a good one.

The laws governing internet businesses is still going through change, but this would be an interstate fraud case that the FBI may be interested in. I would at least present it. I do realize that for all that is on the plate of the owner of this puppy, this may be a very difficult battle given the circumstances. I wish I were a lawyer. I would take it on in a heartbeat. Pro bono.

To bad you can't sue someone for not having a caring heart.

My heart is aching for this family.
