Reporting Dog Breeder..

[wiggal]

Hey all,

Just after some advice really!
Collected a puppy on Sunday from a house, the man showed me the certificates to show her parents are hip scored and eyes tested for cataracts.
He said the litter was accidental and would never normally cross 2 breeds.
(my pup is a Cavalier King Charles x Cocker Spaniel).

I cae to work yesterday, and spoke to my supervisor, who has an 18 month CKCS x cocker spaniel, and turns out she got him from the same house, and both our pups have the same mum.

So he has obviously lied to me regarding it being a one off accident!
After discussing it, we both feel we should report this, as something is not right!
The house did not look lived in at all, was bare, the man was not interested in either of us (me or my supervisor).
Cont..,

Hi Leelapops,
Thanks for your reply.

My supervisor called up on Monday while we were at work with the sort of idea that you have, but unfortunately they said they were out of pups. Also when she mentioned she had got a pup from them 18 months earlier, the women started sounding very unsure and then said she couldnt help as she didnt know what her husband had left. Strange as when I called it was the husband who said the wife dealt with the puppies!

And ta, I will give her a cuddle (or many!) when I get home from work!
She has today mastered going up the stairs, cant get back down mind you!

Oh wiggal, I have visions of her stranded on the top landing, wondering what the deal is with down-the-way steps!! Poor baby!

It's horrible that people get away with this, but you definitely have to exercise a "buyer beware" attitude. Sadly, not enough is done to regulate it here, and it makes me so mad. Try and get your friend themself to call, and see if that works?

What can I add I agree with lankeela , puppy farming is big buisness and bigger money
On saying that I bought a gsd pup from a top uk breeder and still had problems with a puppy that was having seizures they would not ex cept there was a health problem and sold him on to another owner he was returned to them because I could not give him the care he needed and I thought the breeder would off , but I was wrong I GypsyX
