Misleading breeder
I am mainly asking this on be half of my cousin who has Leah's only litter mate.
We put down payments on Leah and Seth around the beginning of Sept (born Aug 9th). The breeder told us that they wouldn't be ready for a few weeks because they needed to have their shots. We picked them up on September 24th after they "got their shots". The paperwork he gave us says puppy visit and dewormer. Nothing else is listed. We didn't think anything of it until Seth started having issues. The poor little guy has been through alot. He has had ear mites and flesh eating mites. The vet told my cousins that the flesh mites are normal on puppies and they they normally dont present a problem and that the puppy usually outgrows them. We just picked up Claude and Claudine the week before Christmas. Their paperwork gives a long list of what shots they were given. Nothing at all like the paperwork for Seth and Leah. And we picked Leah and Seth up when they were 6 weeks. The breeder that we got Claude and Claudine from said that vets wont give shots under 8 weeks.
My cousin loves Seth and wouldn't change getting him but is getting frustrated after the money she paid for him to have his shots. I still have the number of the breeder we got Leah and Seth from. My question is would you call and complain to the breeder? We were told they had had their shots.
Sorry for my wordy explination. TIA for you opinions.
