I can't believe what some people will do to make a buck. Let's hope she doesn't have kids.

ALL these puppies can find good homes with honest advertizing ! All one has to do is be upfront. Simple.

You're right Vee! But in this case the owners motive is purely $$, so honesty and finding him a good home are not within her character

Is there anything at this stage that can be done to keep her from lying about the health of this little guy? Can an ad be run in conjunction about this small dog? I understand she will not do it, but if someone ran an ad at the same site she was mentioning that a dog for sale has health problems and to vet check first....

I try to teach buyers, that this is actually very common. Buy your breeder first.

Now she posts about how people are flagging her ads:

I agree. This is such a good example of why you should never buy a puppy based upon an ad or website alone.

There is nothing than can be done, other than continue to educate potential new puppy buyers on how to spot these breeders and seek out reputable breeders.

Who is she?

Is this the same person that posted looking for help with a yorkie that had hydrocephalus?

After all the heartache she's been through, why wouldn't she at least say there were issues?

I don't know the laws. Can you post something about someone trying to sell a sick dog or can it only be after the fact?

Her information is on the first page with her ad. She has advertised this pup all over the place. Screen name is Penelopepup. The only way I knew the pup she was selling was the same pup she had previously posted about on other threads. She spoke about the open fontanel and his being a tiny.
I don't know the if YT rules state health criteria needs to be identified before placing an ad. Will check on MI lemon laws, if any.

I just checked....no puppy lemon laws in Michigan so it's buyer beware.

He also has Swimmer Puppy Syndrome. Just a month ago she said the vet told her he only had a 60-70% chance of a good recovery.

Hoobly, Kijiji, Craigslist are all HORRIBLE places to look for a pet. I've said this before and I will say it again. Hoobly, Kijiji, Craigslist are all HORRIBLE places to look for a pet. Going to places like these will bring nothing expect this type of breeder. Buyer beware!

I wish that we had better rules that address some of these breeders that are members here. If you were selling clothes, shampoo, brushes, or any other items for sale the sellers have pretty strict rules that need to be followed and if there are complaints they are banned from selling. It should be the same for members that are selling living creatures.

I read her ad.

I think I take things for granted. Maybe this is why the dog world is so small.

Even if that puppy didn't have those health issues, he's too small to be sold at this size as a pet. He's not very healthy. If she needs money, just say so. People will help people that are down and out. These stories get to me.

Why are they preying on the weak? Using their little tiny helpless bodies that didn't ask to be brought into this world? People can have dogs neutered for free in every state. If someone doesn't think they can, they're making excuses for it. I'm sure that they can have spays too if they'll just work at it. But neuter for sure. There are services out there. People are just too lazy. I'm so tired of helpless animals suffering. This is another one that should never have happened.

Save this story for when people want to know about why a limited contract It's water under the bridge now. But we all know you don't breed a 3 1/2 lbs bitch.

Well here is a new ad and still no mention of any conditions. You have to wonder if she will even disclose the issues to the potential buyer, I seriously doubt it or why wouldn't you put it in the ad! If you did put it in the ad or disclose it, you know that you wouldn't be able to get $900!!
