She said things that insinuated jealousy and vindictiveness, but that Ms Kapsa was fine. Could have been her lawyer I was talking to. <br />I ordered the puppy. It was shipped to me. <br />He was scared of everything. Wild eyed and appeared to be in shock. <br />My wife and I attributed it to the flight having traumatized him. After 3 weeks of personal care, he is coming around. He is one of the pretty sable and white pups shown on her web site. <br />I would not take anything for him. I try to look at it as,"We saved a puppy from this hellish looking place". <br />I will have to say, none of these dogs look malnurished or mistreated. Just too, too many for one person to care for, correctly. <br />The puppy we received was a little shaggy and his hair matted, and had a bad odor. <br />A good bath and a little gooming and he is as pretty as his picture. <br />Growing, gaining weight and spoiled rotten. <br />Thank You feel like the system let me down.
