Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
This lady bought an AKC pomeranian off me 5 weeks ago. She asked me if I would lower my prices. I agreed to $400.00. I had her sign 2 contracts that she would not resell or sell to puppymill, puppybroker, pet stores, or any such enterprises and my copy disappeared when she left. Now she has my puppy listed on her website for $450.00 Please do not buy any dogs from this person.

Amy continues to send emails to me and harrass me even though she stated here that she wouldn't. I do not find this situation fair or called for. She has posted here in a previous post that her dog could tell that my 4 year old son was a bad person (her dog could judge his character), please read previous posts about in regards to this situation (I know I am not stating that verbatim, but read closely it's in there). This just shows her lack of couth. I have attempted to not retaliate in anyway but she is giving me no choice but to contact a lawyer because she keeps pursuing the issue (or should I say create an issue that is not there). I have advised Amy that she is now harrassing me and has been told previously to stop harrassing me and making up lies. I am publicly stating that if Amy pursues this any further, I will take legal action against her. Amy has a lot of time on her hands and uses it in very negative ways, instead of harrassing me, she should work at improving the well being of her breeding program.

This is my final note. I will not be contacting Heather. Unfortunately there are no laws preventing someone from reselling your animals . So make sure you have all your paperwork before they walk out the door with your pets. I hope Heather is successful with her breeding program and can only hope that she never has to suffer the loss of a puppy or entire litter of puppies. But unfortunately this is part of breeding. No breed is perfect and losing puppies is not the breeders fault as she will soon learn if she continues in her quest for the perfect Pomeranian.

If everyone only breed standard size poms I am guessing you and I and 80% of the pom breeders would not have any poms. No breeder will guarantee you pom size. My momma poms parents were standard size 4.5 and 6 pounds so every pom breeders knows that small poms can still produce large-sized poms,with a variety of sizes showing up in most litters. You never know from one litter to the next. It could be your male throws bigger puppies it could be the mom that is why if you dont like what you are producing yo go insearch of a different male or female. I have only been into poms for 6 years and many different males and females and I have been lucky up until now with finding my puppies loving homes. It just makes you a little wiser for the next person. I just want people aware of the people out there selling you your next puppy. Do you know that in PA it is legal for a person to travel out of state and by 25 dogs/puppies a year and bring them back here to sell? Please research your breed and ask lots of questions. Find out why they are breeding, where they bought there dogs from. You deserve to know.If the buyer is trying to push you out the door or the seller is in a hurry to leave Beware. Make sure you have all your signed documents in your hands when they leave. Someone who sells dogs should use their own contracts as their own guidelines when it comes to buying and selling dogs.

Im glad your laughing over reselling a puppy becasue she barks.you know ever breeder out there is stating the are breeding to better their breeds will if they arent fit now they never will be. I have been to a kennel that claims they are breeding for quality not Quantity there were over 40 pom adult and more than 6 litters of puppies and she has pomeranian rescue come in every now and then to take several of her dogs away that she cannot sell so if that is what bettering the breed is you can have it. I advertise nice quality not show quality I am placing poms in pet homes if you choose to breed them that is your perogative. Do you not also remember you say everyone of her littermates and their sizes. Dogs have a better sense of character than we do and I have had two families here over the weekend to get puppies and the mother of you puppy did not snap at either kids or adults. And keep on laughing because if you continue to breed pomeranians you will learn that losing puppies even whole litters and mothers too is more common than you think that is why it is called the "Heartbreak breed". What in the world does my neighbor have to do with this? As far as I am concerned I cannot keep you from selling Trinket. Unfortunately there are no laws that protect puppies. All I wanted is for her to be placed where she would be loved as part of a family. It is amazing how you told me that you only sell your poms for $400.00 yet you place Trinket and your male with no papers for $450.00 then within days you drop your male price to $300.00. Goodbye!!!!!!

What are you trying to justify? I requested you contact me, via email or telephone, you still have not done so, you keep posting rebuttals here? What is your point? What is your dispute? What are you trying to prove? You are upset over nothing; you are upset over the truth, so you make up lies. I have to really laugh at the fact that now you are even stooping so low as to say you actually whipped out a scale and weighed Lexie, the pom puppies mother, right in front of me!! YOU ARE HYSTERICAL.. The more you type the more I laugh. We sat in your dining room and the kids played with the puppies. You showed me the other little blue and tan female puppy from the other litter (you remember, where all the other puppies in the litter died) You told me about your neighbor who you had to report to the city because he doesn't cut his grass? There was no scale, no weighing, Lexie was in a crate the whole time because she tried to nip at my son, do you remember now? I was in your home no longer than 30 mins. I have nothing to hide. Best of luck to you and your family.

True, not all AKC are breesing quality but I do get numerous calls for bigger poms though they are harder to sell. I have had poms with barking issues, luxating patellas, heart murmurs, very timid right on down the line you dont know what they are going to produce until you breed them. The parents to Lexie are both great quality oms I saw them myself. Do you think every show dog comes from a show quality breeding? I recommend them to people liking the pomeranian with younger children. I have had many AKC pomeranians that were not suitable for breeding and I actually gave the one back to the breeder without getting a refund. So your non-refundable $100.00 is nothing you did not have to walk out my door with Trinket is you were that disappointed in the appearance of the mother which I weighed right in front of you and was 8.5 pounds. I will gladly contact you and resolve this issue and will gladly post the results so we can both put this behind us. You told me I was to leave you alone and quit harassing you so I did.

Yes, Please do not buy a puppy from me because I may ask you to come to my home and see where your puppies are raised. And I might inform you of the origin of the pomeranian and that they were originally 20-30 pounds dogs and that they had longer bodies,and thick flatter coats. Though you will not be showing a 20 pounds pom My poms are strictly for pet purposes I do not advertise show quality poms. I also over the last 6 years have read countless book on pomeranians and know that they are a vocal breed and need to be trained not to bark excessively. and I have over the years contected via email manyother very popular pomeranian breeders across the U.S for information and advice and they have beeen extremely helpful THank you Pom breeders. And you also will not only receive papers with your new puppy but they will be AKC who goes by the most strict guidleines and not some off shoot who papers dogs with 3 pictures and a witness signature. Thank you.

Just because a Pomeranian is AKC doesn't mean it is "BREED QUALITY"

I did not know this was a website to post nit picking back and forth on who is a better breeder, it is for someone who was RIPPED OFF BY SOMEONE SELLING SOMETHING TO THEM, which has not happened on either end of this situation, I was not ripped off by Amy and she was not ripped off by me. I am not saying I am a better breeder or a worse breeder than Amy. I am not saying that all her dogs are poor quality, or that I don't know that the original Pomeranians were larger dogs and bred down. However, per the AKC standard in 2009 the weight range is 3 to 7 pounds. I have done PLENTY of research on the breed and their standards and habits before even thinking about breeding them. I also know what type of look and temperament that I would like to breed before doing so. I don't just want to breed a bigger Pom because she will have more puppies. It's not the quantity; it's the quality. Also, the type of papers the dog has doesn't make the dog. Unless you plan on showing the dog or breeding the dog to produce show quality puppies the papers really don't matter. The point of breeding a specific dog breed is to better the breed (look wise as well as temperament), not to make money. Most reputable AKC breeders won't even sell you a "pet quality" Pomeranian with AKC papers, none the less FULL AKC papers without the buyer providing proof of spay or neuter. As far as her contract that she is stating that I happened to take when I left, that is still untrue and she never stated why she never resent the contract to me. Amy decided to take "revenge" for me posting the puppy for sale without contacting her first. Amy, I apologize for not contacting you first to let you know of my decision, as I stated earlier, I didn't know I was supposed to do so. I understand she states she is not a vengeful person, but it doesn't seem that way. Practice what I preach, I just made my website 1 week before I posted the puppy, I created the contract and posted it online so people were aware of what I WANTED with MY PUPPIES. Amy, if you feel the need to contact me further about the situation, please email me or call me personally, I am sure the world could careless about this dispute.

Yes, Please do not buy from me because you will be getting not only a puppy that actually has papers but is AKC. And has researched the breed and emailed several reputable show/pet quality pomeranian breeders acrossed the united states for very helpful advice and information Thank you pom breeders. You will also be asked to visit my home and sit down and talk over any questions you may have, and be asked to keep in touch and send pictures and keep me informed on the welfare of your puppy. I know what the original pomeranians looked like and how big they were and know that the bigger poms can pop up even when breeding tosmall poms together. I own a 20 pounds pom that is not being used for breeding. Poms are a breed of themselves there are many kinds,faces, colors and attitutdes. Any anyone who reads a book on the pomeranian breed knows that they can and usually are a vocal dog and need to be trained for excessive barking. Thank you to all those who have helped me over the years to learn more about this wonderful breed and how difficult it can be to be a breeder of the pomeranian.

I do feel I should have let her explain why she did not contact me before placing her up for sale before posting. Any one who breeds poms knows there is no guarantee on size they were originally 30 pound dogs. I bought her from a reputable breeder that I still stay intouch with to this day. I have never not given the buyer their contract I check all paperwork as I am waiting for them to show. copies of vet visits,contract,AKC paper and a copy of mother and fathers 6 generation pedigrees are on the left side of every folder. She never once said anything about the quality of my dogs. I am not a show quality breeder she knew that. I too have emails that she sent saying how perfect she was and that she was a doll. She never once contacted me about her barking. She is a new environment they need to adjust. I do regret posting only because I am not a vengeful person but when I heard from someone else who wanted to buy Trinket also that she seen her up for sale I acted without thinking. Maybe I would have handled it differently. I keep in contact with people who buy my puppies as long as they like I receive christmas cards from them and pics all the time I have never had anyone else complain. If she is looking for the perfect dog good luck.

Her own contract on her website states that "the BUYER agrees the neither he/she not the BUYER;s estate/executors may sell this PUPPY or transfer ownership of this PUPPY without the BREEDER'S knowledge and written consent" well I think any good breeder would practice what they preached and follow their own rules when it comes to breeding dogs. I do believe she bought my puppy with good intentions She emailed me and told me how perfect she was and that she would keep me updated with pics.I told her many times if there are any problems with her let me know I will gladly take her back. She has taken her off her website and says that she is not selling her so I am glad to hear that. I am sure if someone did that to her she would feel the same way I do.

I am the breeder at trinketstinytreasures Amy never provided me a contract stating that I couldn't resell the Pomeranian puppy. I bought the puppy from her, she was asking $500, I asked her if she would accept $400, she agreed, she did not have to say yes. I drove 8 hours round trip to pick up the puppy. The puppy's mother was AKC but very poor quality, she was long and large, and the other 4 puppies in the litter were extremely large. The pictures she sent of the mother of the puppies didn't portray her actual size (she said she was 8 pounds,she is long and thin, she looks more like a 10 pound pom). I was purchasing the puppy to breed with one of my puppies, Amy was aware of this. I had already sent Amy a $100 deposit to hold the puppy (she did send me a contract in the mail advising me that my deposit was non-refundable, (that contract I did receive and sign and return with my deposit), so I had no choice, since I drove to far and the deposit was non-refundable to purchase the puppy. I provided the puppy another vet visit and vaccinations. She was not working out for my family, she barks all the time, which I did ask Amy about before I even purchased the puppy; I wanted to know if she yapped a lot, she said no, none of her dogs do. So, I posted the puppy on my website for sale for $450 (to recover the money I purchased the puppy for, plus traveling fees). I did not do this to scam her, I did this because the puppy was not working out for my family and me. I didn't contact her before placing the puppy up for sale because I didn't know I had too. The next thing you know, I see that I have been placed on ripoffreport.com She says I received a contract that I signed (which is not true) saying I couldn't resell the puppy but, it disappeared when I left her home(not true). She emailed me and asked me to check the folder she provided me for the contract, I told her I didn't have it. She asked if she could resend the contract, I said yes. She never resent the contract. I waited several weeks before even posting the puppy. The day I posted the puppy, she saw I did and she created this report, she didn't even call me before doing so. I find this report unfair and inaccurate. I love my dogs very much. They are all raised in my home as part of my family. They are fed high quality food. My vet is wonderful. Amy has attempted to defame my character on this site, I am not really sure why? She said she was sorry she posted the report, but it seems very hasty. I would never recommend anyone purchasing a puppy from her. She now has the mother of my puppy that I purchased from her is up for sale on puppyfind.com as well as my puppies two sisters. I have email documentation of all the events that occurred.

received email she is now no longer selling the puppy. But I asked her if there were any problems to contact me first before she tried finding it a home. Her own contracts states no reslling of her dogs. I hope she is honest about keeping her. I try to find my puppies the best possible homes and like to be updated and she agreed to send pics and keep me posted. I will gladly take my healthy puppies back for a refund.
