Billie Sample Sold a purebred AKC puppy over the internet which arrived not a purebred puppy Pleasant Plains Arkansas
I bought a supposedly purebred Skipperke puppy over the internet from Billie Sample. I had to go on trust without seeing the dog because it wasn't born quite yet. I sent her the money in full in advance to hold the dog for me and keep the tail on the dog.
When I received the dog I did wonder why he did not look like any of the pictures that I had seen of Schipperke Puppies, but really didn't think a whole lot about it and thought maybe that would change. When I started noticing two white spots on the back of his neck and Schipperkes are suppose to be all black I started to wonder.
I wrote to the AKC and they gave told me a person that I could send pictures to. This person told me that it wasn't a purebred and probably a mix. Its coat was not right and the face was not right. It did have the Schipperke eyes though.
I did want a purebred Skipperke for breeding with a friends dog and did pay the purebred price. I did not receive a purebred and am very upset. A dog is not something a person can just get rid of that easily, it is a decision for a long time and I think it is very terrible for someone to send you an animal that is not what you wanted.
I did have problems with her also when it got closer to the time that the puppy was ready to ship. She had said that shipping charges will be around $150.00. When it came closer to the time of shipping I said that I would send her the $150.00. She said that is not what shipping is. You pay when the animal arrives at the airport and you mail me $45.00 for the crate. She had no idea even what shipping was going to be and she had told me it was going to be around $150.00. I don't know anything about shipping and assumed that was going to be the grand total. Nothing was said about the crate. I think that should have been mentioned in the beginning plus paying a questionable amount when it arrives. Do not tell me it is going to be around $150.00 when you don't actually know.
Shortly after the purchase her email address doesn't work anymore. She does not have a web page anymore, at least under the same name.

The AKC should be willing to help track this person down especially if she is advertising pure breds that are actually mixes. Contact the District Attorney's office in the state/county the seller was in when she sold you the puppy. Ask them if they will investigate the person for fraud. Forward copies of any information you have from this person as proof that she was selling you a pure bred dog. On the bright side you are lucky. The puppy survived being freight cargo on an airline. A lot of them don't make it. Before you "breed" any dog, purebred or otherwise, check your local shelters and see how many abandoned dogs of the dog you wish to breed exist. You might change your mind.
