      Status:
      Answered
      I first spoke to "****" on July 1. She sent me a picture of several puppies and we agreed on one and a price. I was told the puppy would be driven from **** to my house in *******. I paid a deposit that night. The puppy wasn't driven but put on a plane and not with the person who was supposed to bring her. On the way to the airport(a three hour round trip drive for me) I get this woman on the phone to be told they missed the flight! Hours later, the man who was supposed to fly with the dog shows up at the airport and gets on the plane with the guy that missed the flight and the puppy. Many hours have passed and poor puppy has been crammed in a kennel, exhausted with no food and water. They finally arrive at the ***************. I have text messages where we agreed I would wire her the balance of the funds but that two very inept people that transported the dogs asked for cash. There was no way to accommodate that and after many attempts to contact "****" she agreed to accept the wire but asked that I pay a transport fee(not on the contract or ever mentioned) AND for both of the plane tickets to get the puppy there!! Remember it wasn't my problem it took two grown men to get a 14 pound dog there. While I'm on that subject: I was told the dog was 10 weeks old and about 10 pounds. She was 14 1/2 weeks old and 14 pounds. I will also provide the picture of the puppy I was given and the puppy I received. They use some major photo enhancements. My current issue is that I was never given AKC registration papers for this dog that she said she gave me a deal on for $10k! I have emailed, sent text and attempted to leave voicemails. On July 30th was my last and that was with ***(the ex husband/husband/business partner). He asked for my address and was supposed to send me the papers then. They are still posting pictures on Instagram(which I have also replied to) so I know they are not out of business or dead. I would appreciate a response along with her AKC registration
