We contacted Lindsey Porter regarding an AKC registerable Miniature Schnauzer that was party colored. My son had been wanting one and he had been very ill. We spoke to her several times regarding the puppy and sent payment overnight to her so she would hold the dog for us. Once the payment arrived supposedly the puppy was sold and she had another one similar. It took almost two months for her to ship the puppy due to weather and timing issues with her traveling to the airport.
When the puppy arrived the papers were with him, but not signed by Lindsey. I submitted the paperwork to AKC and they will not accept or register the dog without a bill of sale or some paperwork stating information regarding the date of transfer, papers AKC numbers and puppy registration number.
I contacted Lindsey for over two months and was not able to receive the information. I called her left numerous messages, even spoke to her a couple of times and emailed her. The response was we will get them to you. But nothing. I finally recieved a brief one sentance stating she sold me the dog. I contacted Lindsey again and told her that AKC would not accept the one sentance statement to register the dog and AKC stated they would not accept this. She said because I was rude and told her I would report her, she would not provide me any documentation for this puppy. I had become very frustrated with the lack of help I was receiving from this supposedly "excellent" breeder.
Lindsey stated that she had been riped off by another breeder and there was nothing she was going to do to help me register this puppy. She said AKC would do nothing to help her and it didn't matter as she doesn't know much about AKC and only her husband can help me. Lindsey stated to call him between 10-11pm and "maybe" I can catch him to get the paper work.
I only want the information that I need to register this dog. It is a very simple process and would take Lindsey less than 10 minutes to complete and I wouldn't have to contact her or even be bothered with all of this.
I am concerned as this puppy does not look like my other Schnauzer.
