You can see videos of what Missouri puppymills are like here:

Please don't stress. Does Bentley come with any health guarantee? Be sure to take him to your trusted vet when you get him and have him checked out right away. It may ease your mind. Puppymills are definitely not good but that doesn't automatically mean Bentley will have problems. Please don't let all of this upset you and ruin your and
Bentley's first meeting.

I know I am new here but looking at the photos if they are true to the date, these were taken back in mid December, so a whole month ago. Mine is going to be a lrger one I believe and she is only 4 lbs at near 14 1/2 weeks.
Have you requested updated photos of him?

ericalee · 01-12-2010, 01:21 PM

On another ad he has placed on puppyfind.com, he states that the YT will be 6 pounds full grown. That puppy is from the same litter as this puppy. I'm confused..

SORRY BUT IF IT IS STILL TIME... DON'T GET THE PUPPY.

APRI = Puppy mills Red Flag

To many breed on their site = Puppy Mills Red Flag

No pictures of adult dogs= Puppy mills red flag

30 days health guarantee =

As a breeder myself, I can tell you that I ALWAYS know the weigh of each of my puppies! Puppy have to be weigh regularly to ensure of their health... So the breeder either doesn't care or have to many puppies to keep track of them!!!

If it is to late for you to back off, I just hope your little guy will be healthy.

He does look like a bigger boy on the picture. He is very, very cute by the way.

Good luck with everything.

They have a guarantee listed, but it doesn't look like a very good one!

You posted before I was able to post the same info~great job!

To the original poster, your are buying a puppy from a puppymill! Run don't just walk away!

I just don't understand how everyone could be saying congratulations.

Have all the things that we have been preaching just NOT sinking in

All puppies are cute and lovable BUT you do not want to make a purchase from a mill!

Ten days health guarantee and if he isn't healthy, he must be returned to the breeder at the owner's expense for a replacement puppy. No refunds.

A diagnosis of Coccidiosis, Guardia, parasites, or any type of bacterial infection does not render your puppy unhealthy. Seller will pay for no veterinarian fee charged for the initial exam or for any other veterinary services.

GUARANTEE

Not worth the paper it's printed on IMO.

I have already payed in full and his flight is booked....
it's too late to do anything about it

br1ttan1h · 01-12-2010, 01:32 PM

He still shows as being for sale, I am sure you could still back out of it by telling him you want to cancel and if you used a credit card or paypal that should be easy.

Don't sweat it then. Maybe he needs you and you need him.
My dog Daisy came froma puppy mill and she is doing fine now. She is almost 6 years old and has given me so much love and happiness! So enjoy your new puppy and we will all pray that he is healthy!

Did you pay with Western Union or Paypal? If Paypal, you should be able to get a refund.

I hate the thought of lining the pocket of a puppy mill breeder. Not to mention not knowing the living conditions of the dogs or what you could be taking on, because like it's been mentioned. Their guarantee is worthless if you do have a problem!

ericalee · 01-12-2010, 02:24 PM

How would I go about getting the money back???

I have to go to work. I will be back on when I get off tonight
