Well, I got 94% of what I paid for.
Let’s say that PuppySpot did do what they said they would do - they sent me a dog - but it kind of went downhill from there. I did discover, that a lot of what was represented was not the entire truth. I was told conflicting into about the pup I wanted, by different ‘representatives’ or what is basically their sales personnel. When I finally received my pup, he was not completely as represented. His size, condition and basic developmental state was nowhere near what I was told and was represented by PuppySpot. When he did arrive by van after some weather delays, he was five months old and I was quite surprised to see the condition he was in. He had obviously never been bathed or even brushed and he has very long fur, was filthy and stunk of feces. I was told by the groomer I took him to the next day that he had urine stains on his feet from being constrained in a small space for a long period of time… probably basically his entire five months of life. It was apparent he had little to zero socialization with both pets and people. He had never seen a toy and was afraid of them. I was given a sales pitch about their breeder screening process and how wonderful his particular breeder was, but have since come to believe he came from one of the many Amish puppy breeding ‘farms’ in Indiana. I was assured that the dog I was purchasing was a toy poodle, and asked more than once for proof. I was not allowed any contact with the breeder. I repeatedly asked for updated photos of my pup, which I only ever received one time after the fourth or fifth request. I was sent a couple of blurry photos of the parents after repeated requests, with indications that the mother was a toy poodle who weighed 9/10 lbs and the father was a toy poodle who only weighed 5/6 lbs. When I received the dog, I was positive he was 3/4 Corgi as his legs are about 3 inches long and his body length is extremely long…and he already weighed 12 lbs! He came with a sketchy looking registration form which I looked up and is not an accredited registry. I have since done a Wisdom Panel DNA test on him and in fact, he is only 94% poodle. I feel as though the dog was misrepresented. PuppySpot reps were very nice on the phone, and tell you at the sale to text them anytime with questions, but the number the rep is contacting you through, does not accept texts. In fact, once you purchase your pet, they are quite difficult to get hold of. They have you download an app, which turned out to be of little to no use. And sadly, my pup has ‘issues’. Would I do business with them again? Hmmm…
