A neighbor and friend of mine purchased an unspayed female pomm, they had her for about 1 1/2 months and started noticing the dog was getting fatter and fatter( they are not the brightest people but nice) She came in my grooming shop one morning and ask me if the dog was pregnant I was like OMG yes she is and she is due in about a week with about 4-6 pups and that she is really gonna need good food and alot of care she was upset of course who wouldn't be. I asked her did the old owner tell or say anything that she may be pregnant when you got her? She said no or else I would have left her there. I then asked if the female was up to date on her shots she was like I don't know, she tried for days to reach the old owners of course knowing that the dog was pregnant they would not answer the door or call her back. so of course within a week she had 5 pups all was well, they figured from that day on they could handle the pups( I am a breeder of chinese cresteds so i helped with the delivery) well 3 weeks go by and mother and pups are doing great and all of a sudden the husband comes running into the shop saying there was something wrong with the mother, I went over and she was not able to stand or walk she was crying and it looked like she was haveing a seizure, so they had to take her to a vet she had a calcium defincancy and was at the vets all day the bill came to $185 or so.

Well they then stayed at the old owners house till somoeone came out and finally got to speak with the husband he was like oh I am sorry she was always getting out of the kennel and sure we will help pay the bills, so they brought their recepts and again nothing, (suprise surprise) meanwhile the mother drys up and wants nothing to do with the pups, so they where going to take them to the pound( our shelter sucks, they are very difficult to adopt from people have been known to adopt children and get turned down for pets there so they have tons of pets there that live there their whole life cause the person running it thinks they are her own personal pets) So because I didn't breed this year and I knew I could find homes for the pups I took them in so of course now I am out $$$ for feeding, cleaning, puppy pads, shots and of course the time I have to spend at home, to take care of the pups and get them well socialized. Well the neighbors since then went back to the old owners he told them to take him to court, that he would win cause she was a purchase as is, she was like it was a dog not a car. I believe they should sue and can win cause it was an unepected exspense and they where never warned of the possibility. I know that for a fact just the way she asked me if the dog was pregnant, she was in total shock. So I talked them into sueing I think we can win do you?? I would like some feed back and please if you have had experience with this please let me know the outcome!

By the way all the pups where sold in one day and will be all together in the same home and are waiting to go to their new home in a few weeks!!!!

YA know not all breeders are bad and if it were not for some breeders we would not have dogs. I know that if also not for breeders we would not have the pet population that we have, but it is not always the breeders fault lets not forget those foolish people who buy a dog without doing their research then after a month of haveing the dog they decide "I can't take this anymore the dog has to go" so whenever a person asks about a certain breed they want to acquire we should not have to press the issue of rescues I know they are there for a reason I do some rescueing of my own but not everybody has the time it may take to get the rescue dog back to or close to normal. I myself am a breeder and all my pups are spoken for b4 the breeding and they come with a spay/neuter contract a 1 yr health gurantee, and if they can no longer afford, or have the time to take care of the puppy or have to move and cannot take the puppy with they have to givre the dog back to me. they are also microchipped so I can find the owners if they were to move, but thankfully I personally know the peolple who wanted my puppies so I see them all the time.
