Some people just breed dogs for the profit. It's so unfair to these puppies that are sick or unhealthy.

I have sent a complain to adpost. Thanks god they got reply.

Hi,

We will write to the seller to find out more about this transaction.

The best way to find a solution to this is to complain to your local pet authority so that they can help you out, whether it'll be a refund or otherwise.

but where got local pet authority

Hmmm... is there a microchip number? Well, I would say thank goodness the pup got a home with you but I must agree.... the seller is very irresponsible. Is the pup 2 months old? Anyway, so far, I have never experience a breeder giving the cert straight unless the puppy is about 4 to 6 months old....

Well, local authorities can't really take action coz the seller got no shop, got no receipt of purchase... if not, you can actually write complains and send it to various authorities and also get your consumer rights.... erm, I got a friend who did that coz he bought from a petshop, sold him a very sick pup and he managed to get refund but the poor pup had to go back and die at the shop.... pitiful...

I am guessing your pup got mange? If yes, it is very contagious.... I also kena before... mange can be infected to humans as well. To make your pup less uncomfortable and treat the mites faster, you can use sulphur shampoo. Sulphur sort of soothes the skin and promotes recovery. Did the vet gave your puppy an injection for it?

Considered this is a lesson. Next time, read up through books or find in the internet regarding the dog you're going to buy. Visit the breeder's place, look at the dog's parents. Bring an experince person with you. It'll help a lot.

MKA cert and vaccination card are not a proof that your dog is healthy. MKA cert is just a cert that show you your dog is pure breed and some informations. But sometimes, a not pure breed dog has MKA cert too because there's too many loopholes when making MKA cert and sellers take this opportunity to gain more profit. As for vaccination card, it just show you the date your pup has the vaccination and when is the next day for it to take again.

This kind of ppl breed dog for money one, they don't care about the dog one. Usually petshops take dogs from them since it's cheap. There's some seller here to act as middleman and that's where the dogs they're selling came from.

Yes, checked with the Vet the puppy have microchip. The seller said the puppy is 3 months old wor.

Em... the Vet said that it wont be contagious to human wor... Yes. the puppy was given 2 injections which is vaccination and the skin problem.

Could you tell how to take care of the dog now?

that's a good point . why ..so fast can get mka cert wan har , last time i bought from breeder miniature schanauzer , and i get the cert and have to wait until my lui lui around 5 month old wor ? how old is ur silky terrier , lovepassion ?

3 months lor

that time i buy my furkid is 3 month old oso , and my friend which is breeder told me that have to wait till my lui lui around 5 month then he only send me the MKA cert ler ? urs wan so fast get MKA cert la ?

that why I suspect and faster bring the puppy to the Vet

oh... then the mange may not be scabbies like that. Well, do get some sulphur shampoo so can soothe the skin.

Yah... 3 months a bit too fast to get cert.... even when I helped my friend to buy GR pup.... the pup was 2 months old and the breeder also told us that only can get when the pup is 5 months old... same with my other dogs as well.

Now I guess just take care of the pup. The breeder must be a puppy miller, so it is wise of you to open a thread here to warn us.

I dont want other people to fall on the same trap that i did... I will go to other dogs forum too... Thanks for supporting me... I have name the puppy Euro... on behalf of Euro thanks everyone...

Just some additional info... for those who wants to get dogs in the future, try and make a deal with the breeder if you are suspicious. Always say that you will only buy the dog if you and the breeder go to the vet for a check up first. Normally good breeders would not mind if the vet is near but if it is far, then demand to see the parent dogs as well as other dogs that the breeder breeds. If they appear healthy and happy, that is a good sign. Normally a backyard breeder will not take good care of the dogs and will try all means to promote their pups like saying champion line and all.

A vaccination card without a vet's signature or number means the breeder did the vaccination himself. This is proof that the pup has never been to the vet clinic.

MKA cert can mean nothing if the breeder abuse it. Champion line... maybe the sire or grandsire or greatgrand sire is champion but normally the breeding females are not.... so this is how they get sales lah.

I will post the seller another handphone number later cause it is with my friend now. I have update the address of the seller.
