Well, I was not completely scammed. I did receive a puppy. Would I do business w Pawrade again? No….#1 I purchased a puppy that was supposed to b a teacup. His brothers and sisters were also marketed as teacups, multi-gen and champion bloodlines. #2. Somehow, an undescended testicle (predisposes puppy to testicular cancer and costs more to neuter) was unnoticed by a "licensed veterinarian" #3 the puppy and belongings were delivered smelling of smoke. For thousands of dollars this is completely unacceptable. "I am sorry; I understand" was the response I received. Lesson learned….know or have references on the breeder as they will advertise anything to make a quick buck. Ask for a couple of generations down the line for sire and dam. Save yourselves the money. Its like a huge car lot selling hundreds of different makes/models. No way they can b familiar with all the breeders and intricacies of the different breeds of dogs. Like I said I was scammed but at least I received a pup
Response from Pawrade.com:
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. We regret to hear you had a bad experience. We understand how upsetting your worries about the travel and the undescended testicle are. We have been investigating the transportation concern and although an apology does not make it right, we extend ours with sincerity as we continue to investigate this. A partial refund, although declined by you, has been extended. The refund offered, was to cover the difference for this surgery, should it be needed as testicles can take up to four months in a puppy (sometimes up to six months) to completely drop down. The testis can descend and pull back if they are not fully dropped, which can lead to a missed diagnosis however we do not conduct the veterinarian exams to determine if this was what happened in this case. Although the parents are small, in this instance, this puppy was never advertised as a "Teacup". The breeder offered to speak with you regarding this confusion however we have yet to be able to connect you to her. We are happy to get this done to help shed some light on this area for you. Please contact us back, should you determine to have this done and hopefully resolve these matters.
