PuppyFind review: deception on advertisement 5

If a dog has "Ristricted papers" you should not get them . That means the dog is not for breeding, you only paid $100 for a pet quality dog, Other people that want a fancy show dog with a fancy peddigree will pay $1000 - $2000 . I think you should just let it go and be happy with your pet. You are on a complaint board and pretty much dragging this lady's name in the mud for nothing, you are not in the right to want papers for a dog you paid $100 for .

I really don't really have any experience with this. I am just posting to see if a complaint can be removed.

GSDfan is out of line with her comment. Restricted papers are for not breeding only. But you can show the dog in obedience and agility & junior handling classes sponsored by AKC sanction clubs. I think the breeder lied about the existence of papers. The breeder has changed her story many times and had also misrepresented the dog itself in the first place. The breeder lied that she had the papers then Angela went up there from VA to get the dog thinking she would get what was stated in the ad. Angela is not to be chastised for getting a dog for $100 and not get what the breeder stated in the ad. By not having the papers restricted or not, her kids can't participate in other classes that will allow restrictive papers. You can't show in confirmation with restrictive papers. I paid $1500 for a sheltie male to a lady in IL thinking I was going to show him and use him for stud service and breeding. He had the best of the foundation shelties in his background. When my husband went to pick him up and brought him back, he was not a true biblack but a reddish colored biblack which is a major fault in the breed description. So I couldn't show him to get his championship like his brother or his father who is also a ROMC not to mention all of his forefathers. I basically wound up paying for his pedigree. She had colored hair when I saw him the first time and thought that was what I was getting. When I confronted her about his color, she stated that a lot of the sheltie breeders color their black dogs to get a deeper black coloring. Hello! Are you kidding me? Breeders don't color their dog unless they are hiding something which of course is illegal. And the lady up in OH committed fraud just like the lady that sold me as you stated "A FANCY SHOW DOG WITH A FANCY PEDIGREE) . You can shove your opinion up your "fancy" butt. GSDfan you are dragging Angela in the mud instead of the woman that committed fraud. How dare you. Think before you write. Robin Davis

I am also a Sheltie breeder. However, if I had a $1.00 for every time someone said they were going to send me a check, I would not need to breed dogs, just sit back and wait for those hundreds of dollars to come flying in. With the technology available today, Paypal, credit cards, etc. You could have sent her an electronic deposit and quite simply, you would have had your puppy. I do not hold a puppy or dog on word alone. I will take a credit card number over the phone, and hold it until the check arrives. I will not process the credit card if the interested buyer makes plans to pay in cash upon pickup. Being a breeder yourself, and from the content of your story, perhaps Ms. Gore felt you were not sincere enough to hold the puppy for you. I know that if I want something, I will make good on a promise to buy any way I can. Most breeders are more than happy to hold a puppy for a buyer with a deposit in some form or another. But, waiting for that check in the mail is not something I want to do. Then, what happens if it does not clear. The breeder is charged by his/her bank for NSF fees. I believe this breeder did what any self respecting breeder would have done without a firm committment to a sale. She simply sold the puppy. Why do you think that is so bad. Also, if she owned both sire and dam, I am sure there were plans to breed back for another litter. You simply would have to wait a little longer for the puppy of your dreams.

I don't send checks in the mail. She never discussed PayPal nor would I give her my CC number. I send US Postal MOs to breeders and request them just the same. It was the next day the dog was sold and no she didn't have either parent. I did get her eventually through the lady that bought her, which turned out to be a friend. She was going out of breeding shelties and I took her up on buying her last female which turned out to be the dog I was trying to buy. I didn't know until I saw her registration and I paid a lot less. I've talked to a few breeders and they said Lori does this sometime. She may keep your deposit after the pup was sold to someone else.
