Wants pup gone before it is 8 weeks old. Has no-one available to look after dogs while on holiday. Changing all transport/delivery arrangements at the last moment AND then telling you that you are going to lose whatever deposit you've put down already. Dodgy AF IMHO. Personally, I say maybe you need to cut your losses here and find a pup elsewhere... T. Yes...I was thinking that too. I would think a good breeder would factor in having a litter & going on holidays. BOTH you would think would be planned well ahead. What is the breed of pup...someone said rottweiler but I couldn't find that reference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I didn’t want to say anything, but have to agree with you @tdierikx. Owner sounds extremely iffy. Very sad for puppies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Not necessarily dodgy .. possibly overwhelmed. The stomach surgery may not have been known about beforehand, so plans might have had to change. There is a listing in the DOL breeders page for a breeder in Quirindi. If the OP is otherwise satisfied with the breeder and the pups, I'd be hiring a car and driving down there. (And what car rental companies don't know won't hurt them. They hire cars to people with kids after all .. think sticky icecream mess etc. etc.) . With a very young pup not fully vaccinated, I'd say that's the safest option, I'd think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Best Dogs! Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 If not dodgy, poor form of the breeder to leave you in the lurch like this. I would suggest either going for a long spontaneous road trip with a friend and their car. or hiring a car for two days and driving up, getting puppy, sleep the night then drive back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you needed to hear it from someone else, this is absolutely true with respect to car rental companies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellnme Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Just saw this and today is the date that the puppy was supposed to be picked up, so this information may be irrelevant now. Tamworth is the closest airport to Quirindi and there's only one airline (Fly Corporate) that goes to Brisbane direct and that's only several flights a week. It's a small plane so I don't think there would be provision for animals to be transported. The only breeder advertising has had a litter on 15 December so doesn't sound like them. Quirindi is a very small place. My advice would be to be very careful. If you have missed out on this puppy, source a good breeder close to Toowoomba so you are able to see the setup before you choose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
