I had been looking for a tiny pomeranian for close to a year on the internet. I had narrowed my selection to 3 different web sites, one of them being Mypreciouspoms. I inquired about a few pups and finally emailed Cheryl telling her I was looking for a female, 2 to 3 pounds, any color.
She emailed me back stating she had a very tiny black female coming available the following week. The ad read "This adorable female is ready for her for ever home. She is also extremely tiny. She will be lucky to reach 2.5 pounds grown". The asking price was 1500 dollars plus shipping.
This pup was what I was looking for. I called Cheryl and made arrangements to purchase this pup. She stated the pup was one of the smallest she had ever seen. I was quite excited about finally finding an extremely tiny pup and paid the full asking price plus 250 for shipping.
I got an email the next day stating the pup was 14.5 ounces, very healthy with tight little knees. She was then shipped to me. I picked her up at the airport and she was a small black pup and very friendly. At that point I was pleased.
A month later I weighed the pup and she had doubled in size. I emailed Cheryl with my concerns and she said the pup had come from very tiny parents and she would contact the other people who had bought pups from that litter to see if those pups had grown as much. I didnt hear back from her and a month later I weighed the pup again. Again she had grown at a rapid rate. I emailed Cheryl again.
The response i got was, "why was I doing this now, I had a pup I liked so why complain?" She also said she bought a bulldog that had health problems and she didnt complain and a lady in Colorado bought 2 poms off her that weighed 2.5 and 4 lbs grown. I didnt understand what this had to do with anything.
After several emails back and forth I kept complaining I had paid 1500 dollars for a micro pomeranian and did not get what i paid for. She said she would ask her husband if they could take the dog back, this would entail me paying to ship her back, then waiting for her to be sold then paying the difference plus reshipping another pup! By this time I was very attached to her and didnt want to give her up..
She finally agreed to send me another pup that she couldnt sell but I would have to pay for shipping. I was going out of town that week so I said I would call when I got back. I called 2 weeks later and whoever answered the phone said Cheryl wasnt there, there werent any available pups and the message would be relayed. It was like pulling teeth trying to talk to this person who would not even give me her name.
There is so much more that was said, so many excuses given and to this day I have not heard back from Cheryl. My dog is now 14 months old, weighs 5 and a half pounds and has health issues which I never complained about. She is not a quality pomeranian, she has allergies, dry skin and cannot be held on her back as she gasps for air. None of this I care about. Dogs like people have health issues and I am dealing with it. My complaint is Cheryl sold me a dog that was not supposed to go over 2.5 pounds, that is why I paid a high price. She claims she cannot predict adult size at 8 weeks. I understand that no one can predict an exact size but why put a high price on a dog, predict a small size when your not sure and when the animal is almost 3 times the size tell the new owner, get over it???
I feel I have been ripped off. I should have done my homework before buying from this person. I have since seen several complaints like mine where the people were told they were going to have tiny Poms and they all end up over 5 pounds. I got a regular Pom at a huge price. She says she has references well here is mine, Buyer Beware! Do not buy a pup from this person. If you want a regular Pom at a regular price buy from a local reputable breeder..
