Keep us posted... And I agree, don't give up. Wow I can't believe they charged so much, but even if you receive the puppies, take them to the vet asap, because they are known for selling sick puppies also... Did you sign a contract, and what did it say? I'm sick to my stomach of people who take advantage of others...

We have paid $1100 USD for the dogs, and that included shipping. The BBB of Central Indiana has received 4 complaints, and of thos 4 complaints, nothing has been resolved. It's not so much about the money now, its about the principle. She can't keep doing this. She told us that they would be shipped out on Friday, Jan.27th, morning. If we don't receive them, we are going down there to get them, or justice. I think she believes we are just going to roll-over (pardon the pun) and forget it.
BC Canada - No offence but $1100 US is not affordable puppies. ;)

This is terrible and I am sorry this has happened to you. I hope you are able to get your pups safe and that they aren't in poor health. To me this sounds more like a puppy broker rather than a breeder.

All the same... it sucks. :(

Is that $1100 U.S. per dog, or is that $1100 U.S. for both dogs?

Also, do you have a specific address where they are located?

What's the phone number? Definitely contact the place where you found her ad and report her. Make them take it down.

Hi
firstly i would like to say i am sorry for all of you who have parted with your hard earned cash and be messed about with by this woman. but who mail orders puippies????? is this a common thing in the states?? i'm a dog breeder in the uk and wouldn't dream of homing one of my puppies to anyone i hadn't met first. like wise when buying a new puppy i want to met the parents of the puppy and see the home it has been raised in. i can't belive in a country the size of America there is such a shortage of dog breeders. the thought of purchasing a puppy by mail order makes me feel sick (and i'm sorry if this upsets anyone on this site,) but not only with the breeder who is shipping the pups but with the people buying pups in the mannor and allowing the breeder to stay in buisness. put your self in the place of the eight week old puppy. removed from mum, put in a box for hours. "great fun" that's a real good way to start your life.
sorry to rant on but i still can't belive that this practice goes on!!!!!

Some of us are barbaric, others not. Just like it is your country, I suspect. I have seen the relatively recent footage of neo-nazi sections of Europe's football stadia. I have seen the interviews of Thierry Henry talking about unbelievably racist treatment that would never be openly tolerated here. We all have our problems.

sorry and this has what to do with the original thread of shipping puppies?????
Nothing, really. It's as relevant as insinuating that an entire country is barbaric due to the acts of a few individuals.

Barbaric wasn't a word I used. I think you'll find I said that mail ordering puppies made me feel sick and i was suprised that a country as large as America had a shortage of dog breeders and need for a mail ordering puppy service.
Are you saying that mail ordering puppies is a good thing? and something that is acceptable?

Okay, you misunderstand my post. Let me try to make this explicit. What rosieandjim actually said was that he/she "thought America was an advanced culture."

rosieandjim said:

That implies that America is backwards. I take offense at that. I tried to point out that it was wrong to paint us all with a broad brush based on the actions of a few individuals. I pointed out a counter-example that one could easily look to as an example that part of the occidental world is backward, if one chose to apply that logic. (I do not choose to utilize this logic. Notice I did not say it was backward. I merely stated that we all have our problems to deal with.) It was my intent that he/she would grasp the error of his/her logic. Obviously, you did not.

As to your question, the answer is "no."

Well, did she follow through?
