Purchased a breeder quality female pomeranian from this kennel. There was never any mention that it may already be bred and would consider it cruel to transport a pregnant animal without notifying the new owner of the possiblity.
After the 2nd week of ownership the dog looked pregnant to me. This poor dog had undergone a 9 hour trip plus an overnight stay in a hotel and then had been in quarantine with the 2 others i purchased from her.
I separated her from the other 2 dogs and brought her into my living room with me and delivered 3 puppies after only owning this dog for 3 weeks. All were premature and delivered not fully developed enough to live.in spite of quick efforts on a Sunday with no vet readily available i hooked up an IV to the mother right away as she seemed dazed and before i could have ever made it to a vet she died. Up to the day before she was still eating and happily wagging her tail.
I was never informed she may be bred and after taking the dogs she never answered her phone or replied to my original email so my friend said to bait her and just say you didn't know the dog was pregnant and she had puppies. Within 10 minutes the phone rang and she's rattling off that i now owe her a 350.00 stud fee. That's before i could tell her the dog and puppies all perished
I have 25 yrs of working along side a vet and vast experience in a show/breeding program and would never think of doing this to anyone.
When i first caught her off gurard she hemmed and hawed and said maybe she could replace it with another sale dog and then the next day the true phone call i expected came back, that it was all my fault, etc. I hung up once the yelling started. I had this dog 3 weeks, it was pregnant by her male, no agreement was ever made i would accept or purchased a pregnant dog and it was pure cruelty to the animal to not be stressed like she was and totally a scam to breed the dog then want stud service but not tell the new owner.
Things got worse when it turned out a girl that lives 30 minutes away purchased a puppy out of a litter from a woman she did the same thing to and she got a pick puppy back, yet that woman also had a "surprise" litter.
This is cruel treatment of an animal and unethical business practices to collect stud fees at a later date.
