Hi all
i bought a puppy off gumtree. It was all a bit of a rush. The seller told me I would see the mum, he’d been vet checked, vaccinated and chipped. He was a lot cheaper than I expected. Just under 2k from a London seller.
when I turned up to collect the puppy, the man I was meant to see had to go to work so his gf brought him out. the dogs mum was at his girlfriends house allegedly 40 miles away. She had no vaccination or chip details. She phoned the boyfriend seller when he was at work.....he’d left them in his glovebox in his van and couldn’t get to them til lunchtime but he’d forward them onto me at lunchtime. I had my 9 year old son with me who fell in love with the puppy and was so excited. Stupidly I transferred the money and brought the puppy home.
the seller didn’t get in contact with me so I contacted him asking for vaccination and chip details. He said he couldn’t find them. Repeatedly text and called telling him to get in touch with his vet to get the details...no reply. Alarm bells were ringing. Cut a very long story short, in the end he admitted that he hadn’t got the puppy vaccinated but he was chipped But he couldn’t find chip details. Again I asked him to see/call his vet. Then he said someone came to his house to chip. I arranged to get puppy vaccinated the next day..... chip was Romanian! So assume puppy trafficked.
i feel so stupid......I’m not even sure he’s a cockapoo! His tail sits on his back. I’ve been looking at cockerpoo images but can’t see tails. Puppy is very fluffy and when I’ve been looking at images some are.
i reported seller a couple of days ago to gumtree and then he called me. We had a heated argument and he said he’d pay/take him back/pay for his injections when I pressed him on issues.
ive never bought a dog before and feel totally ripped off and stupid! I don’t want a yappy small dog. Do I return him....I don’t know what to do. Can anyone help please?
All very dodgey!
puppy is gorgeous but very fluffy! And his tail sits on his back. That’s not cockapoo is it?
thanks in advance.
