Do you want to buy a puppy???

My daughter is going to be 7 in a month so me and FH agreed that its time to get her a dog. We went down to Yuppie Puppy NOW A&G’s JUST PUPPIES, in Port Jefferson.
FH and I went down 1st with out our daughter…found a cute Toy Fox Terrier. The DOG is A HE at this point, and is $495.00. WE both agreed we would come back with Emily and if she likes it we would bring it home. We came back in 1hr. The dog was still there, they bring us into a room so we can aquatint ourselves with the dog. SHE wants the dog. FH goes out into another room to discuses price (now $450.00) and all the info needed. He is told that he does not get “breeders rights”. Now as you read this ask your self what does this mean “breeder’s right”—you can not breed the dog ok we just want him as a pet not to breed no big deal. Now papers are filled out, payment info is given, we are told we DO NOT GET PAPERS for the dog to prove he is a pure breed. WHAT well I told you that before, you are “adopting” the animal (because we are not paying full price) so you DO not get the papers…do we need these papers??? How much for you to now give us the papers ??? An extra $100.00 we say OK…..the woman that original wrote up the paper work now has to fill out another form because we are now not “adopting” the FEMALE dog….yes now HE is a SHE because they did not give us the correct info. The woman says to us with a complete attitude WELL now I have to fill out a WHOLE nother form and THIS will take me SOME TIME. So FH says don’t make it out to be my fault that you have to do YOUR WORK. She get all huffy and puffy and runs to get her managers….to make a long story short the manager Anna Diita said right in front of our Daughter I WILL NOT SELL YOU THIS DOG… (we were unfit to own the dog because, she blew up the whole situation) (we wanted the papers –that she did not have and could not produce she would rather just not sell us the dog) SO now what does a father do?? He told her he will be bringing this dog home with us….he stayed there and told her I will not leave until you sell me this dog!!!! Another long story short…after 1hr she called the cops ( she was very hesitant to do this) The cops came, we left nicely and the COP said GOOD thing you did not get the dog…this place has the WORST DOGS, they get sick…and the owners of the store drop there hands. You supposedly get 4yr warranty if the dog get sick or dies they will give you a new one THEY DON’T. They have the cops there on a regular basis, people picket in front of the store because they do not take care of the dogs and just run a poor business. SO EMILY still does not have a dog but she will get one. Please if you are thinking of ever getting a dog DO NOT go to Yuppie Puppies AKA JUST Puppies (due to all the law suits as per the cop they had to change there name) in Port Jefferson.

I am sorry but I hate that place!!! The dogs are from puppy mills anyway! They are crazy over there!! I know a lot of people who have had nothing but problems there! Sorry you had to deal with them!

Re: Do you want to buy a puppy???

I've also heard a lot of things like this about this place unfortunately. There is a difference though between this kind of store and some other puppy stores - if a store has almost every kind of dog like this place, they're a puppy mill (they just get their dogs from everywhere, other states, etc, there's no guarantee about the dog, etc.. ) whereas some puppy stores, only have a few select breeds - that means that they use local breeders - and it's a lot safer - you're getting a much 'better' dog. It's really sad that you even have to watch out for that stuff. I always feel bad for the puppies in there.
Good luck finding a new puppy! If you're not dead set on a pure breed, you can always try north shore animal league.

GREAT IDEA..there are so many dogs in this world that need adoption. I got my pup from NSAl, and had a wonderful experience. They have small and large breeds. You will find the one that is right for you. Save a Pet in Port Jeff is also a wonderful place. Good Luck!!!

When I first starting reading your post, I was like oh no! I hope they don't buy their dog from there. I have read horrible things about that place! Good luck finding the right puppy for you and your family!

Definitely check out North Shore animal league, and PLEASE consider adopting over buying from a breeder - there are thousands and thousands of dogs out there who need homes, and unlike a breeder many shelters are forced to put dogs to sleep if they are not adopted after a few weeks because they simply do not have space for all of them.

If North Shore Animal League doesn't work out, you can find puppies for adoption at www.petfinder.com You can even do a search for the exact breed that you're looking for, if there are any available.

good luck finding your puppy!

I'm sorry you went through this. But please, please, please do not buy pets from petstores!! By doing so you are supporting puppy/kitten mills and condoning the uncruel and unsanitary treatment of pets!! Adopting from rescue groups and shelters is not always easy...but there ARE reputable, loving breeders out there that breed out of love for the breed and will almost 100% guarantee that you are getting a healthy, happy pet. A quick 'google' search will lead you in the right direction. AKC breeder info...

I'm sorry about your daughter...pelase look into breeders!

I agree DO NOT EVER BUY FROM PET STORES!! I used to do rescue work and the places they get their puppies from is absolutely horrifying! Research a breeder or go to a shelter, but please do not support the pet stores that sell puppies!

I've heard horrible things about them. It's a shame that they are even in business still.

That place is the worst ever, I swear they drug their dogs, I have never seen such lethrargic puppies in my life.
Please NEVER EVER buy a dog from a pet store. If you MUST have a pure breed dog, then go to a reputable breeder. Otherwise you should go to a shelter where there are thousands of dogs who need good homes.

omg! def try to stay away from pet stores!!

Re: Do you want to buy a puppy???

We bought our golden retriever there 9 years ago...she was born with hip displaysia(sp?) and they knew it when they sold her to us! They offered to destroy her and give us a new dog, but we couldnt do that...so shes still happy...you can tell shes in pain, and sometimes she cant walk..they are awful...

Sorry to hear this, we bought two dogs thru yuppie puppy and our oldest dog died in december. We had him for thirteen years. I have heard stories about the dogs being sick, I didn't know they changed the name.

If the police are constantly there, how are they still open? Shouldnt this business been shut down already by the town? I'm sure there are enough complaints and reports.....and then donate the animals to other reputable stores/mills/.

Horrible! Absolutely horrible!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing!!

What a shame, those poor puppys
