Could I humbly make a suggestion?
People keep saying don't buy from strangers . . and people keep getting taken for their money. I doubt it will change soon.
This is only directed at people who may buy a dog in the future. I would just say that if you read this thread and still feel like buying a dog from a stranger you meet in a parking lot . . .
TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MAN. TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MAN HOLDING THE DOG. TAKE A PICTURE OF HIS TRUCK AND THE LICENSE PLATE. ASK TO SEE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND WRITE DOWN THE INFO. ASK FOR A PHOTO COPY OF HIS ELECTRIC BILL. SOMETHING. ANYTHING. GET HIM TO STIPULATE THE TERMS OF YOUR AGREEMENT AND THE DETAILS OF THE DOG IN QUESTION ON PAPER AND SIGN IT. ONCE YOU HAND HIM YOUR MONEY HE HAS A 100% CHANCE OF DRIVING OFF AND NEVER BEING SEEN AGAIN. BE PREPARED.
A two week trial means nothing legally. He could give you a nine year trial if he already has your money and doesn't plan on answering your calls anymore. Without a contract and a receipt . . the courts are powerless to do anything for you. If you go to the dog sales board on this site you will find a half dozen people who have been members of this site for less than a month and in that time have made zero posts in the discussion area but have already posted multiple dogs for sale. It is likely that 2 or 3 of these members are Claude Ard or some other crook. Buyer Beware!
