Hi everyone,
I’ve been the proud owner of a Pomeranian puppy for a few days now.
I bought my dog for quite a high price from a breeder who had ads on various Facebook platforms... the description and photos said the parents could be seen on-site, and she guaranteed the puppies were fault-free. I went there myself and picked out my puppy.
She gave me all her paperwork, and everything for the puppy is in order. I also saw both the mum and dad there.
Both were gorgeous, and I’m just waiting for the pedigree papers to confirm she's a purebred.
Out of a litter of seven, she sold me the smallest one, telling me she’d only reach about 18cm (7 inches) as an adult and would be a 'true' miniature Pom. That’s why she was so expensive—I paid more for her than for the others in the litter. However, it turns out I’ve just been to the vet, who told me she has a misaligned jaw, so the bottom part is shorter than the top. They also said the puppy has crooked back legs, so when she runs, she has 'frog legs'. My puppy is also cross-eyed in both eyes, which is even more noticeable in the left eye. After this vet visit, I have to admit I’m quite upset. The breeder gave me a signed health guarantee and assured me the puppy was healthy and guaranteed to be fault-free. Now, with all this, I feel like I’ve been ripped off on the price, and above all, I’m worried about her future. She sold me a supposedly healthy, fault-free puppy for around £1,500 with a pedigree. What do you think? I really need some advice; I’m completely lost as this is my first dog.
