Business ProfileforPET EMPORIUM OF DELAWARE, INC

I PURCHASED A CHIHUAHUA PUPPY MARCH 2022, THAT CAME WITH PUREBRED PAPERWORK, CERTIFICATE OF PEDIGREE FOR THE SIRING PARENTS, AN ASSIGNED # FROM THE AMERICAN CANINE ASSOCIATION SO I COULD REGISTER MY PUP AT THE PRICE OF $3089.00. AT TIME OF PURCHASE I QUESTIONED COLORING (PUP IS BLACK AND WHITE, ONE PARENT IS CREAM, ONE FAWN AND HEAD SHAPE (APPLE HEAD VS DEER HEAD). I WAS SHOWN COLORING CAME FROM GRANDPARENTS. I WANTED A SMALL DOG AROUND 5 POUNDS, WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THE CHIHUAHUA. THE PUP IS 9 MONTHS OLD NOW, WEIGHS 10 LBS AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A CHIHUAHUA, NOT A PUREBRED ONE. I SUSPECTED SHE WAS MIXED SO I BOUGHT A DNA KIT. SURE ENOUGH, SHE IS MIXED AND ONLY 10-25% CHIHUAHUA. THE REST IS 40-60% BORDER COLLIE AND 10-25% BEAGLE. I WENT INTO THE STORE AND SPOKE WITH THE MANAGER. A YOUNG BLONDE GIRL THAT WOULD NOT GIVE ME HER NAME BUT ASKED FOR COPIES OF EVERYTHING AND SAID SHE WOULD PASS ON TO THE STORE OWNER. SHE DID TELL ME THOUGH THAT PUPPIES R US WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PUPPIES ARE PUREBRED, WHETHER THEY COME WITH PAPERS OR NOT. I HAVE HAD PUP 6 MOS AND BEING RESPONSIBLE HAVE SPENT MONEY ON VET VISITS, SHOTS AND HAVING HER SPAYED. I SPENT MONEY BUYING A DNA KIT. I EVEN SPENT MONEY REGISTERING HER WITH THE AMERICAN CANINE ASSOCIATION SO HER NAME COULD BE ADDED TO THE PEDIGREE BLOODLINE. BUT IF I WANTED A MUTT, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE SPCA AND PAID $350.00 I AM NOT HAPPY THAT SHE IS NOT PUREBRED, IS NOT EVEN MOSTLY CHIHUAHUA, & SHE IS A BIGGER DOG THAN I WANTED. I FEEL THAT PUPPIES R US IS SELLING PUPPIES FRAUDULENTLY, MISLEADING THEIR CUSTOMERS INTO PAYING OUTRAGEOUS PRICES FOR PUREBRED PUPPIES THAT TURN OUT TO BE EXPENSIVE MUTTS. IT IS LIKE BUYING A DIAMOND THEN FINDING OUT LATER IT IS REALLY A CZ - CUBIC ZIRCONIA. ALSO, I EXPECTED TO HEAR FROM THE OWNER OF THE STORE, A COURTESY PHONE CALL AT LEAST TO SAY HE IS LOOKING INTO THE MATTER, AN APOLOGY, AND LETTING ME KNOW HOW HE IS GOING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION...BUT NOTHING, NOT A WORD
