Complaint Review: Linda Olson

I found this lady, Linda Olson on a web site. I was looking for a puppy. I found one I like so I responded to the add. It was Linda she had a malti-poo for sale for 350.00. We aggreed on a pick up date March 16, 2004. I traveled almost 5 hours to her house. I paid her 350.00. She told me if my puppy which I had named Princess got week to give her a sweet syrup, She said it was normal for her small breed.



I took her and by the morning Princess was week so I gave her a sweet syrup, in 3 mins she was better. To make this story short that same night March 17, 2004 I found my Princess had passed away. Linda is a back yard breeder do not buy from her she is a puppy mill. When I called her she was sleeping so she called back the next day. She said she would refund my money in 2 weeks. 3 weeks later she paid 175.00 saying it was my falut Princess died. for not taking her to the vet. She was the one who asured me it would be fine to wait till I went home.

There is more to the story. Before I picked her up I had already planed to visit my mom in orlando so I would make the trip to spend a few days in orlando after I got Princess, Linda was well aware of this she told me the puppy would be just fine until I got home 2 days after puppy pick up was when I planed on taking her to my vet. to get her follow up shots. This lady knew Princess was sick she made it sound normal and safe. I now have learned breeders do not sell small breed puppies so young. They make it a rule to wait until puppy is 12 weeks and at least a pound. My puppy was 9 weeks and not yet a pound.
