Hi, I have two american spaniels that I 'adopted' at one year old and the other at five months old, as the original owners (from two different householdds) no longer wanted them due to behavioural issues that only became apparent once they matured - they came from pet shops in Dubai, that I don't think I am permitted to name. They had been sold by the pet shops as puppies with full &amp;quot;pedigree&amp;quot; paperwork and passports. On the inside of the passport is a date written in pencil that is 6 weeks less than the birth date in the passport - the vet told me the pencil mark typically shows the actual birth date and that they would have been vaccinated and brought in to Dubai 6 weeks before they were officially old enough. Aside from that, one became completely blind and had to have both eyes removed as he had primary glaucoma, retinal dysplasia, cataracts and chronic dry-eye in both eyes, and has matured to have fairly poor confirmation.The other has epilepsy and shows agression. I wouldn't buy a puppy from any pet shop - although I love them both to bits, it is upsetting and expensive when they inevitably start to show the signs of sickness and behavioural traits that come with irresponsible breeding. Although expensive, no pet shop could sell puppies at a profit at the price they do if they were sourced from reputable breeders. edited by ChilliChai on 21/01/2015 Hi im new to this forum, i joined a couple minutes ago after reading your post and i want to know how to contact you i need to talk regarding a puppy from a pet store, i dont know if im not being able to find how to pm you or if that option doesnt exist? :/ thanks and please do respond asap!
