I definitely agreed with you & other members 'bout buying pets from the pet shop. My case is a very isolated one. I bought JD, the first shih tzu from a lady called Mrs xxxx from her apartment (!!) in Goodyear Court and was I was given a health record from a vet in East M'sia. On the third day, JD started to vomit and he was rather weak and not bubbly for a puppy of his age and I took him to the vet who confirmed that he has canine distemper and was advised to send him back to the lady. I sent him back and was given another shih tzu and was made to pay additional RM150 because the second one is older. I suspected something when I saw her issuing her own health of which she kept a stack of it in the drawer and this replacement that she gave me seems to look like a cross between a shih tzu and a terrier!! I took her to the vet who also confirmed that she has canine distemper. I was so mad and took her back to that b**** and after all the trouble and hoo-haa she gave me half refund (RM500).
I waited a month later before I brought Nico back and this breeder was a very honest man who explained to me in details the characteristics of a shih tzu and I'm grateful that I've finally found the right one. The pup that is ...
I hope members who read this are careful of buying puppies from this medium aged lady who seems to be selling pups from the cramped apartment.
