I purchased my beautiful little puppy from Puppy Pad in November 2017 (signed a contract and paid $1700 for him). He was advertised as a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer (his picture and ad is still on their Facebook Page). My dog is now 9 months old, weighing 14kgs and with a height of 450mm to the shoulders.
Concerned that my puppy keeps getting larger and larger, I contacted the owner (male) of Puppy Pad at Loganholme and suggested that my puppy was much larger than I would have expected a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer to be. The owner of this business responded with: "was I able to guarantee what my children would look like?" (assuming he meant my human children) and " there is no guarantee when buying livestock". The owner was extremely rude throughout his telephone conversation and then continued to hang up.
I would like to make it clear that I was not seeking any financial compensation for my puppy as we love him and he is part of our family now. My concern is the owner was rude and would not acknowledge my query. Also, if I was purchasing what I understood to be a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer from Puppy Pad at Loganholme for an elderly person, they would not be able to manage or be able to care for a similar puppy once it is fully grown.
I am incredibly disappointed in this business false advertising their puppies and not taking any responsibility for their error. read more
