Yes....she is not that bright, I know....
But she bought this cute puppy from some lady who promised to send the papers and now will not contact her back. The weird thing is, the lady gave her her #...at least we think it is her #. We have called several times and different kids answer the phone and always says "my mom's not here".
My mom thought I could post this here to see if anyone else bought one...she had 3 I think. Claimed to be a purebred dachsund...
It was bought the 23rd I think. She doesn't want the papers if it's not true....they love Lucy, but they want to try to get their $$ back.

how did she pay?
if by CC... contest the charge (not likely)
if by check, work with the bank on reversing it
if by cash, hunt her down.
if that fails, I know some big italian guys

If she wants to keep the dog, she can't get her $$ back.
Unless she got SOMETHING IN WRITING, good luck "proving" payment at all.

I think that if you buy a puppy in the parking lot at WalMart, you can be pretty sure that there are no AKC papers for it.

I don't mean to be insensitive but why would anyone who goes to all the effort of an impulse buy; meaning buying a dog in a parking lot; need papers or even want papers on a dog?
If this is about breeding or showing the dog certainly wold have garnered more attention the old fashioned way by visitation and research prior to bartering money for ownership, right?
Let's just hope the puppy doesn't come down with parvo ( which is prevalent to this area in the winter ) or some other form of illness.
I highly suggest you insist that puppy go and get shots regardless of what the previous owners said was given to the puppy.
Good luck and I hope that puppy is healthy.

Yeah no kidding, you pay your money, you get your doggie. Good luck with anything else. The fact the number works at all means you can probably get any info eventually but I'd probably write it off. Take the lil thing to the vet and get the shots, get it licensed, forget about dog shows and AKC.

+1. I was thinking that Parvo was really likely with where this is all landing on the "Sketch-O-Meter".

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work--not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.

FWIW you can get the dog DNA tested to determine what you have. My friend works for a Genetics company and they are testing to see if there is a market for this. Contact Petsmart on E Bidwell by OSH, that's where they were advertising.

She has already been to the vet (the day after xmas) shots were done then...
My mom was hoping I would post to see if anyone else bought one (she had 3).
We know it wasn't a very smart thing....but just hoped this lady had been telling the truth. We had actually bought our first Dachsund (20 yrs ago) in a very similar situation and I think she was just a little naive on the whole thing.

Banks do not reverse checks. You can stop pay it (for a fee) before it's cashed, but I'm willing to bet the check has been cashed.
M2S: How much did your mom pay? I'm just curious!
