Ordered an Alaskan Toy Eskimo puppy from this breeder. Dog was received by plane on 10/10 and fell gravely ill on 10-13. Had Coccidia worms and PARVO. He spent his last 3 nights at the Animal Hospital on died overnight 10/16-10/17.
Vet and information information online indicates that both conditions take 7-13 days from exposure to onset of illness which would place exposure sometime between 10/1 and 10/6 before the puppy was shipped to us.
The breeder offered to replace the puppy but that is illogical to take another potentially exposed animal from the same breeder as well as the fact that the Parvo virus can remain in a home for up to 12 months, meaning any new pet brought in, especially a small puppy would be immediately exposed (one would think an 'expert' breeder would know that).
We requested financial refund of cost of dog, shipping and vet bills but were denied.
