My mom bought our family a Jack Russell Terrier puppy for Christmas. We received the puppy from Lovepuppies located in (Missouri) on January 24 via air travel. The puppy was 10 weeks old when we got her and supposedly had a clean bill of health from the Veternary Clinic Lovedpuppies uses in Missouri. We took the puppy to a local Vetinary Clinic on Tuesday January 29th (just 4 days later) to have a routine checkup completed and we were devistated with the findings we received. Our Puppyhad the following infections earmites, giardia, coccidia and hookworm. I contacted the breeder Medora Blasengym to let her know about the infections and her response was some of the other puppies had it also and she guessed the medicine they were using didn't work and this is very common amoung young puppies. Our Vet stated "he couldn't see how how that puppy could have been given a clean bill of health when the earmites were so bad you could see them just by looking at the outer ear" Oue Vet also informed us that most of these infections are cause by unclean kennels and puppies not being well taken care of. I sent copies of our bills to the breeder and requested she pay us for the out of pocket costs we incurred but to this date that never happended. We wrote it off as Lovepuppies just will not stand behind their puppies. Be very careful when buying a puppy from an out of state breeder. Once they ship it they forget all about their responsibilities. I wish we would have purchased ours from a local breeder.
