I have Googled "giaudia" and no such word exists? I presume "diahroe" means diarrhoea?

Complain to the breeder in writing. Ask for your money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase but why did you pay "LOTS OF MONEY" for a dog with no vaccination papers?

Presumably you saw the puppy and its parents before money exchanged hands? So you knew its tail had been docked (note the spelling with a c in the word docked) and why even mention that here in your question that it has had its tail docked? That is your business if you chose to buy a dog with a docked tail nobody elses.

All I can say is that "you don't get owt for nowt". You bought a cheap dog and you have got what you paid for. Thanks for keeping our dreadful puppy farming business going for a while longer.

Talk to a solicitor!

Answer 3

This is a rather insane question, the pup has clearly come from a puppy farm. Going by your spelling, I would imagine that you are not a native English speaker, so you must have travelled a long way to get the puppy. It would have been much easier to source a reputable breeder in your own country?

Nevertheless, you have the dog now, so it is your responsibility to make sure the dog is looked after properly and gets whatever vet attention it needs, and take legal action against the breeder.

Answer 4

Em...are you foreign or something cos I can hardly tell what you're on about...

You should have known before you bought the dog basically, how to tell whether its a good healthy one or not. Why didn't you see the vaccination card? (A healthy well bred dog dosn't necessarily need vaccinations, well, parvo for puppies should be given once, but anyway thats beside the point as the dog is badly bred most likely from what you are saying so vaccinations would be a good idea)

Mate theres not much you can do other than threaten the breeder if you are sure its not YOU thats caused the dog to be unwell and very unsatisfactory, or you could pay more money and get a lawyer and try and prove the illness or whatever was the sellers fault and probably get nowhere...maybe just a solicitors letter would be helpful.

Get some bloody sense will ya! Anyone who can't tell a good healthy well bred dog pretty much straight off aint fit to own one.

Good Luck

Answer 5

If it was not a registered breeder you will have very little comeback.You can of course report to the local Garda (police) station where you bought it, however, if they decide to charge the breeder you will be required to travel to Ireland to give evidence.

Answer 6

You need to be careful when buying dogs, you'd never know who you're buying from.
Where did you buy this dog from, did you even go to see the place?
If the dog has no papers or/and no vaccination cards then it's all too likely you paid a stupid amount of money to a puppy farmer.

You can report it, whether it be to the Gardaí or ISPCA

In future, always buy from a reputable breeder, don't pay for a cheaper dog to avoid paying more, in the long run you will, you're also contributing to the puppy farming trade.

Has anyone else not copped this?....."his other brothers and sister really confused as to what to do"..... what do you expect his brothers and sister to do? Write to the ombudsman?! Also, thought you only bought A dog?
