Don't blame yourself. It's just a bad luck. My puppy was transfered by air in March, however, died in a week. I don't know how many times I regret not to choose road transport. You are lucky to get a puppy from the breeder. My breeder promised to give me one and then changed her mind when she finially got litters in July. The puppy was for my daughter's 11 birthday. Can you imagine how sad she would be? It looks we couldn't have a puppy in a couple of years due to the high demand and crazy price. All the best!

OMG, I feel so sorry to hear you lost your 6 puppies at the same time. What a horrible! I even couldn't sleep well when the breeder told me the puppy died at birth. $3500 is for the puppy only. Somehow I was pushed to get the refund from the breeder after I told her don't worry and I would like to wait until the next litter. She just refuned me in hurry and then on the following day she posted she has got 7 health puppies on her facebook. After that I asked the full refund probobaly just want to give a lesson or punishment to her. However it seems like I couldn't do anything except to bring it to Court which was the sugguestion from consumer-affairs.

To be honest, I would just take it if the breeder told me the truth like what you said. I was told by the breeder that only one of three dogs got pregnant successfully and only one puppy in the litter and died in a couple of hours. My family were very upset for the puppy and the mum and I didn't have a good sleep on that day. I asked her to share the bills with me after I found out the truth because I was shocked and very very angry. I do understand why the breeder changed her mind because of the crazy price of puppy at this stage. Be cheated is much painful than the money lost.

Thanks for your comments.

I am not questioning the puppy, but the breeder. Such a terrible liar!

Thank you! The puppy was for my daughter's birthday gift which has been asked for years. Not a good example to teach my kids to be a honest person. No any ways to give the breeder a lesson and she will not do that again to other people?

Thanks for your information! Honestly I am a bit shocked. I thought looking for a puppy through dogzonline will guarantee the reputation of breeders and quaility of puppies.

Thanks for your reply! I would probably take the result if the breeder didn't lie to me like that. We have been kept in touch for nearly half an year. The breeder updated the information very on time, eg. the girl has heated, mated, got pregnant... She promised she will give me one or two puppies from a girl. If the girl wasn't pregnant, she also has another two girls got mated. However after she got seven puppies, I was told only one girl was pregnant and one puppy was born and died soon. Looks like the breeder just changed her mind after she got puppies. The hardest thing for me is how to explain to my kids.

I found the adv. for selling red poodle puppy on www.dogzonline.com.au and contacted the breeder who is registered dog breeder in QLD. I was told by many people it is the safest way to buy a puppy. Finally I got my puppy when she was 8 weeks old for my daughter's birthday gift in March. She was transferred by fly through JetPet from QLD to Melbourne. One the second day she was not well and I brought her to vet clinic, and I was told she has heart murmurs (the breeder didn't mention it to me), got unknow virus and was very weak. I believe the Doctor tried best to save the puppy, however, puppy died in one week since we got her. The breeder was kindly to offer me one or two puppies for my compensation since I spend over $2000 for the bill, it depends how many puppies on the next litters. Finally the breeder got puppies in July, however, I was told only one puppy was born and died in a couple of hours. I wish people could imagine how upset of my kids. Long story short, the breeder refunded me $3000 in rush (I paid $3500 for the puppy) and said it is over. One the second day after I got the refund, the breeder posted a photo on her Facebook that she got seven healthy puppies from three mums in one day and all puppies have spoken for. I was too shock to speak anything. After that, she just refused to reply to me on email, phone and message when I tried to contact with her. My heart was broken when I watched the video of 7 puppies which the breeder posted on her Facebook recently. Despite the sadness, it is hopeless for my family to have a puppy with $3500 in a couple of years. My questions are: is that reasonable to ask full refund including the bill of vet clinic from the breeder, and what can I do when the breeder just refused to reply to me. PS: I am pretty sure the puppy got the virus during or before the trip since her sister got the same thing as well. Luckily her sister was recovered soon. Thanks for your time and any suggestions are much appreciated!
