Don't trust this woman. Called a woman on 12th April from somerset in frome, name Caroline. She had Jack russel puppies for sale for £490. I called her up and she made a verbal agreement over the phone that I could have one of her female pups for this price and agreed to collect her in two Weeks. I understood when I spoke to her on the phone the puppies hadn't been vaccinated or microchipped due to the coronvirus, I straight away booked appointment for her on the Monday 27th April to get her microchiped and for her to have her first vacation. The next following day after I called caroline I asked her what type of food she is eating and got no response. Without telling me she puts the price upto £550 on Gumtree and has not put online that my puppy was reserved, I texted her asking her if my puppy was still reserved for me and she replied this, my apologies yes the girls are 550 Gumtree surggested i put price up due to there rules on safety on animal wellfare yes i still have the girl for you from Caroline. I then agreed to this price and I was expecting to pick my puppy up at 8 weeks old on Saturday 25th April. On Monday 20th April I texted her I'll see you this coming Saturday 25th April between 10-12 as driving to somerset would take at least four hours. She replied this Hi they will be ready on the 30th as i got date wrong they were born on the 12 March so they will be 7 weeks on the 30th they are all eating and drinking so i will let them go on that date is that okay with you from Caroline. I then agreed with caroline and arranged to pick my puppy up on Thursday 30th April between 10-12, I told her that I had her bed, food, toys already and I had to change her vet appointment to the 8th may as the vet said she will be two young to have her first injection at 7 weeks. Out of no where she texted me this Hi my apologies but i am now selling my puppies for 780 due to inundated calls from people wanting the puppies because they are board at home i want them to go to dedicated forever loving homes sorry if this sounds to much but i cant believe the amount of twats that have rang me just because they are board being at home i love my puppies very much and i expect others to love them as much as i do if your serious about giving her a loving home then i can let you pick her up this weekend for 780 sorry again hope you understand. From Caroline. This horrible woman was going to let this puppy go on Saturday 25th April this weekend, so she could make £780, which means she would only be 6 weeks old. There has been puppies known of dying leaving there mother that young and also without the requirements she needed could of resulted into the puppy being seriously ill. She hadn't got her microchiped nor vaccinated and bump the price up £230 more to line her pockets. She doesn't care about these puppies as she wouldn't let them go so young. I'm not saying everyone on Gumtree is greedy and crawl like this woman, but please if you are going to buy a puppy make sure it's from a legit breeder like pets4home as the breeders on there have to pay a certain fee to advistise there puppies plus the site makes sure the breeders have all the requirements in place for the puppies. Gumtree does not suggust breeders put the price up for puppies, so if you have notice your puppy going up in price it's for the breeders benefit not for the puppy. Thank you for reading.
