Bought dog and she immediately had breathing probs. I made vet appt. For Tues. July 1 abiding by the 48 hour rule to get dog checked (excluding weekends). Since this was my second yorkie - I knew they had to be given special supplements and I did. She became tired by Sat. Night and at 9am on Sunday morning she was having a seizure. She died at an emergency clinic around 9:30 am Sunday. I had the dog less than 48 hours. I researched the USDA # given to me by TeaCups on a website and it returned that she came from a kennel that served as a broker for her and that her breeder was unlicensed and illegal. I found numerous complaints about this broker selling sick dogs. Furthermore, this puppy was shipped air freight from Nebraska at 9 weeks old. I was told that she came from a licensed private breeder and this is not the case. I have evidence supporting my claims. This pet shop is purchasing from puppy mills and selling some animals that are sick. The shop owner offered no help, refund or a new dog. The shop is asking customers to sign a form that waives the consumers right to the Florida state law against a 'puppy lemon law'.in other words, if the dog has a genetic disorder - too bad. These are unethical practices concerning animals.
Desired Settlement: Other (requires explanation)
