Good luck with that!!! I met this woman at the bazaar where i have my doll store selling bishon puppies at 6 weeks, she was hidding them from me, she knew I breed and my dd shows, but she sold one to the daughter of the lady who runs the kitchen, and they came to me for advise...
AFTER the fact that they bought the dog.. she told them that the baby was 6 weeks and her vet told her is OK to sell them that young...on top of that she told them to give them carnation evaporated milk diluted 3 times a day until the pup reaches 8 weeks..
I told them that that pup belongs with her mother, yada, yada... well they took the puppy home with instructions from ME, the right puppy goats milk formula and so on..
well she now feels she is a slave to that dog, she's call me so many times is not funny, ah, on TOP of that the puppy had already 2 sets of vaccines that she said the vet gave him, one set at 4 weeks and one at 6 weeks..
she did have a paper with a vaccine label on it, so I really don't know what to beleive... all i can say is some breeders are AWFUL...
I BETCHA that woman will have another litter of puppies in whatever time it takes her bitch to get a heat.. she got 500.00 a pup without papers and people were lining up to get them...
so good luck trying to educate people i really had it... ok, off my soap box now..LOL
