We recently lost our Pomeranian, we rehomed him from a couple who were emigrating and found out that he had come from a Polish puppy farm. Unfortunately after two years numerous problems came to light, leading to him having to be put to sleep as he was suffering from incurable problems, mostly congenital from poor breeding.
We were terribly distressed and felt after a really tough year with bereavements and a lot of problems that a new puppy was something we wanted sooner rather than later. We found a litter and picked out a beautiful puppy, they were not KC registered, but we were told they were of British breeding and the mother was a family pet and the father also a pet owned by the lady’s mother.
I have paid a deposit and visited him again, but tonight I have found two adverts placed by the same woman, one for another litter of Pomeranians and another for a litter of Pomeranian x Chinese Crested.
We were due to see his mother when we picked up this Saturday, but excuses were made as to why she wasn’t there on our previous visits and I now think this must be a scam or possibly farmed puppies. I am heartbroken and know this all seems wrong.
I know better than this, but my judgement was clouded by being so sad 😢
