My fiance and I went into Petland just to play with the dogs. We did that all the time and tried to play with the dogs that we did not think would get played with. There was this adorable puppy advertised as a purebred basset hound. We played with her for a while and went home. We both had a dream about her and the next day we went and purchased her.

We brought her home. Got her oriented and fell in love with her. She is not just our dog she is our daughter. She is now pushing 8 months we were starting to notice she was not starting to look more like a Beagle in the face rather than a Basset.

We had decided to ask our family their opinion and they all believed she was mixed. We also had a neighbor see her for the first time and said "Wow, is that a Basset mix?".

I was just hoping she had not gotten droppy face yet because she was still so young, but I am thinking I am wrong. Considering Basset Hounds are more or less born with the droppy faces. She does not have a droopy face at all.

I am going to get her vets opinion and if she says she does not appear to be purebred I want to file a claim and get my money back.

Petland sold her as a purebred and she is not. That is false advertisement and I paid over $1400 for her. I am going to pursue this with aggression.

Dog breeding

AUTHOR: Baristaman - (U.S.A.)

Dogs, like people, are all different. Even in purebred dogs there can be huge differences. If you wanted a Basset with correct conformation then I would have requested to see photo's of the b***h and sire.

I see many dogs with papers that don't conform to breed standards so much so that they don't even look like the breed. E.g. Golden retriever with 5 inch legs, 45 lbs Cocker spaniels, Westies that are all cream colored...the list goes on.

So-your Basset looks a little different. You still love her unconditionally, right? That's really all that matters if you aren't showing the dog.

A little hasty

AUTHOR: Sevenfortythree - (U.S.A.)

Dont you think you may be jumping the gun a bit? I think you should try to speak to a manager before your storm into the store to "aggressively" try to get your money back. Just because you dont think your pup looks like a pure bred, doesnt mean that it isnt. You fell in love with it because of the way it looks, now you want your money back?! Even if for some reason they gave your money back, they would demand you return the dog. Do you really think that anyone is going to let you keep a dog for free just because you and some of your friends dont think it looks pure bred? Did it come with a pedigree? Why dont you contact the breeder?
