I purchased a puppy in November for $1,200 She has had respiratory infections and severe breathing problems since she came home. I have spent over $1,500 in vet bills.
Gidget
I took her to Auburn University on her vets referral.
She was found to have a hypoplastic trachea, elongated soft palate and everted saccules. She had an operation to fix her elongated soft palate and everted saccules. Her hypoplastic trachea can not be fixed.
Even after an expensive surgery she is still having problems.
I bought this puppy as a show prospect. She can never be shown in AKC conformation events and she can never be bred due to her congenital defects. She must be spayed and will be expensive to care for.
I contacted the breeder an asked for a replacement puppy or a refund. She would only replace the puppy, If the puppy I have now, which I have spent $1,500 in medical bills was returned to her. I have become very attached to my puppy and don't feel I should have to send her back. I have lost $3,000 at this point paying for an overpriced sick puppy and her medical bills.
She refused to honor her contract by giving me half the purchase price back - If I decided to keep my sick puppy.
I have documented the bills I have paid and have yet to see a refund.
Don't buy a puppy from this person, her business practices are unethical and she won't honor her own contract!
