KENNEL CLUB REGISTERED and Recommended by many!

The following, I hope will help you in finding yourself a healthy puppy dog
from a reputable breeder.

  First, be prepared to pay around £1000 for your Pomeranian puppy, a male puppy will always be the cheapest, females will be extremely hard to find, and will cost much more, as breeders either run them on or place them with a pet owner, with "breeders rights" to possibly have a litter to see what they produce. I do this myself, and the female is kept in the breeders name to register the litter, this is commonplace.

You will NOT buy a genuine Pomeranian for £300 or £400 - do not be fooled by the adverts on the internet there are so many scams!
Doggies_30.1.10_019.
Your Pomeranian should weigh approximately 4 - 6 lbs as an ADULT, therefore when you view puppies (at around 8 weeks) they are very tiny and VERY, VERY FLUFFY, they should weigh around 2lbs at 12 weeks.

The "cheap" ones are most certainly x-bred's which look like Poms as a baby, with a fluffy coat & curly tail, but they are NOT pure Poms.

Most scammers/advertisers use photo's taken from genuine Pomeranian websites, be very careful.

MOST IMPORTANT!

At the present time, White Pomeranians are not available in the UK,
                                                                    however I am a couple of other breeders are importing some,
                                                                   so from 2012, we WILL have genuine whites in the UK.

                                                                           Please note: It takes a MINIMUM of 9 months to import a puppy from another country 
                                                                      Do NOT be fooled by the scammers adverts on the internet!

When you are looking for a Pomeranian Puppy, take your time to read through this website where I have tried to give you as much help and advice for your search.
Do not RUSH into this, a big decision, as a puppy should never be discarded and you will hopefully have many happy years with your new dog.
 
It is always best to either through myself or the Kennel Club find a caring breeder, who will give you help and support from the time you take the puppy home for the rest of his/her life. 

Many so called "Breeders" sadly only want your money and could care-less once the poor little mite has left them.

First there are the "Bad Breeders" mentioned above, basically they take your money and that's it. Sort it out yourself attitude.

Secondly there are of course the Scammers, and this has become a HUGE business in the U.K. mainly these are the adverts you will have been looking at, and you have probably already seen MANY of them, they are all over the internet, they are advertising puppies what appear to be very cheap, YOU WILL NOT BUY A CHEAP POMERANIAN.
However, now a lot of the scammers/x-bred mongrel sellers have got wise and put the prices up, even to £1000 or more to fool unsuspecting buyers.

Remember our life is now full of scammers, whether it is buying "knock off" goods or even buying a pet, the internet is full of them, so this website it here to hopefully stop you before YOU are a victim.
Don't be daft enough to part with your hard earned cash, without ensuring you have validated the seller, you will most certainly get NOTHING! - especially if you send money to people without at least checking them out, e.g. through the Kennel Club, by visiting their home/premises or by some form of confirmation from other breeders (who you should also be able to check out) that they are who they say they are, then NEVER part with ANY MONEY before you have done this.
You will end up with no dog and no money if you do!
Most of these advertisers say that either the wife/husband has left and they need to sell or rehome the dog usually at a fairly cheap price are scams, more often than not they play on your emotions -
DON'T BE TAKEN IN - YOU WILL NOT BUY A CHEAP POM, AND REPUTABLE BREEDERS DO NOT "SHIP" or SEND THEIR PUPPIES.
PLUS A GENUINE BREEDER WILL HAVE A VALID LANDLINE TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS YOU CAN VISIT.
The latest scam is from Nigeria & Africa etc., where they are saying puppies will die if not "rescued", then they ask for money for airport taxes etc. etc.

Then you have the Breeders who sell x-bred mongrels as pure bred pups, some of them even have falsified Kennel Club papers!
Again these sort have also hiked the prices up, often to £1000 or even £2000 for a so called "white" on epupz, once again to fool YOU. The worst bit is YOU will not know the difference between a proper Pomeranian and a fluffy mongrel, you idealy need to see KC paperwork plus BOTH parents, or visit the sire seperately, for what this puppy will cost you, it is worth making the effort to do this.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT SEND ANYONE MONEY FOR SHIPPING OR TRANSPORT, WITHOUT ENSURING YOU HAVE CHECKED THEM OUT AND/OR VISITED THEM!!!!!!

IF YOU HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF THIS, PLEASE EMAIL ME SO I CAN WARN OTHERS!

 (Breeders code of ethics)

What Service Should a Breeder Supply?

A breeder should sell you a healthy, happy puppy. You should receive dietary advice, breed advice, insurance and samples of the foods the puppy is used to. The breeder should always be available to advise you,

especially if you are a novice owner. If you intend to exhibit your dog the breeder should also be able to advise you as it is in their interest – their name being shown as the breeder in the show catalogues. If you are not happy with your puppy for any reason the breeder must offer to take it back – this does not necessarily mean you will be reimbursed with your money. Make sure that this is detailed in the written receipt at time of purchase. If for any reason you cannot keep your dog when it is much older it is to your breeder that you go first. They will help you re-home your dog – again it is in their interests to ensure that every dog they breed has a good home, they cannot afford bad publicity as it will affect their livelihood and reputation.

----------------------------------------------------

WHAT TO DO IF YOU BUY A SICK PUPPY

Your first call should be to Trading Standards, explain to them that you do not want to exchange your pup you want full compensation for vets fees etc. They will tell you what to do next and this means taking breeder or dealer to small claims court. Its not as bad as it sounds and many people have done this and had all monies they spent refunded.

You should also contact local council where the pup was bought and ask to speak to licensing officer, make your complaint to him and insist that he act on your complaint.

If pup was in very bad state RSPCA should be informed, insists they act on your information.
Also if your pup has a health certificate, get in touch with the vet who signed it and complain, complain ,complain.

Please don't keep letting these awful people who live off dogs misery keep making a profit, hit them where it hurts the most THE POCKET !!

Also inform the Inland Revenue if you think the seller is not declaring his ill gotten gains. Inform us too so we can warn other people and maybe save them the heartache you have had, together WE CAN make a difference.

Rogue Traders Documentary Exposes Dark Side Of The Puppy Trade

The grim reality of unethical puppy trafficking will be exposed in BBC One’s Rogue Traders this Thursday, which goes undercover with RSPCA officers to reveal the shocking truth behind this lucrative market.

The broadcast comes as new Consumer Direct figures reveal the number of complaints related to animal and pet purchases have almost doubled in two years. In 2006 the Government watchdog received 2,793 complaints, but by 2008 this had soared to 4,6271.

Rogue Traders, on BBC One on Thursday 19 February at 8pm, follows the launch of the RSPCA’s puppy trafficking campaign, which aims to advise prospective buyers on what to look for when searching for a puppy for sale.

Mark Evans, the RSPCA’s chief veterinary advisor, said:

“Puppy trafficking is a despicable, profit driven business. The RSPCA wants the public to destroy the puppy trafficking business by only buying from responsible and caring breeders. We hope this episode of Rogue Traders will raise awareness of this unethical trade.

“If you’re looking for a puppy for sale, do your homework. Make sure you know what to look for and what questions to ask. If something doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t, so walk away. Never let your heart rule your head, no matter how tempting.”

As well as confronting those accused of running puppy farms and selling sick animals, the BBC’s Rogue Traders will give an insight into the heartbreak of those who have been caught out by the shocking trade.

Garry Green of Feltham, contacted the RSPCA when his golden cocker spaniel Alfie died of a lung condition just three weeks after he bought him from a pet shop and after more than £1,000 spent on vets bills. Garry will share his sad experience in the programme when he warns people of the tragic consequences of buying a sick dog.

For more information about the RSPCA’s puppy trafficking campaign and to watch a short film on the subject, visit http://www.giveanimalsavoice.org.uk.

Tips on buying a puppy are also available at www.rspca.org.uk/buyingapuppy.

RSPCA advice to consumers:

· Always see a puppy with its mother in the place where it was bred, and pay attention to the mother’s size, health, personality and reaction to the puppy – is it the real mother? Ideally see the father too. If you can’t see them, be suspicious

· Try to find out as much as possible about where the puppy has come from, and beware if the breeder is from outside the UK

· If you are told the puppy has been vaccinated, check the vaccination cards carefully. Be wary if the vet’s contact details are not visible, or have an address outside the UK

· Pedigree certificates are never a guarantee for the condition of your puppy, and may not even mean you are buying a pure-bred dog

· Never buy from someone who offers to deliver your puppy or arranges to meet you somewhere

· As hard as it will be, never buy a puppy just because you feel sorry for it

· If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t – use your common sense, and walk away

· If you are concerned about how you were sold the puppy, contact Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06

· If you have welfare concerns about puppies you have seen, contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999

This organisation will try to give members help and advice to help resolve their difficulties.
I personally have been a member for some time and highly recommend joining and supporting the cause.

The annual membership is currently I believe less than £10 for a single applicant. It is well worth a telephone call to Ann to apply for membership.

I quote from their letter I received upon joining:

" To consult a Solicitor these days is well beyond the pocket of most of us"

"Having said that we must emphasise that the professionals listed on our notepaper are always acccessible to us and in many cases will give help it there is a problem that this Charity needs to discuss with them"

"The calls for advice are varied, ranging from difficulties with local Councils, the Police and very often, less than competent veterinary surgeons"
To add, I see on their headed notepaper a list of FOUR BARRISTERS, fifteen SOLICITORS and six VETERINARY CONSULTANTS
