So i purchased a beautiful german shepard pup from martha Godlewski, i named her Bella. After receiving the puppie she started throwing up non stop and could not hold water. she was so sick i rushed her to my vet not even 13 hrs after picking her up she died. the poor puppie had bad warms and parvo. both of these diseases where insured through the breeder. I called to let her know in hopes she would be so sorry and offer me some kind of severence since i paid over 500 for the puppie she informed me that i was a lier and so was my vet. My Vet contacted the breeder with the lab results to let her know that her whole breed could be infected and needed treatment. I should have been smarter because when we picked up the dog she shoved a pill down bellas throat and sed it was for nerves she gave me more of the pills but they where unmarked i asked the vet to adentify the pill and she was competly baffled it was a pill she had never seen before. The vet and myself asked what the pill was and she would not conform it, the vet did tests on the pill to find out it was diffently not used for any kind of nerviousness. I can only hope that this never happens to anyother person. I have two small dogs that have been my babies for years and i feel so bad that i put there lives injepordy. so please if you read this and are conserding purchaing a dog form this breeder Marth Godlewski have the puppie checked before you even bring it in your home. I know for my safety i would never recomend this breeder to anyone. I feel the only thing she is doing with her dogs is running a puppie mill and i have turned her into the proper athorties. Parvo is highely contages and very deadly, dont allow her to fool anyone eles. I am so saddend for my sweet bella who wasent even given a chance may she rest in peace.

I find it deplorable they are advertising Chino and Kovaya as they bred and trained them. They did not. This was a different breeder and she has no knowledge of this kennel advertising this. Clearly live oak bred and trained them.

I purchased an 8 week old puppy from this breeder in February. I took him to our vet for his puppy shots and he was diagnosed with coccidia. By the time he was three months old he had bitten three people including my vet. My vet was concerned that a dog that age was already aggressive. I called Martha who informed me that my puppy needed to come back to her for a 2 week boot camp right away. This was another 500.00. We brought him in and when the Trainer, James, came in to meet him he went crazy - barking, growling, etc. I was informed by Martha that it was my behavior that was causing our pup to act that way. We left him against our better judgement. I called the trainer, James, to set up a time to visit with our pup. When I saw the kennel he was being kept in I was in shock. Barking dogs
puppies and waste everywhere. I was appalled. I asked for my dog back. My dog was basically held hostage - Martha would not give us our dog back and would not let us in the gate to the kennel to get our dog. She demanded I sign a form releasing her of liability before she would release him. The entire transaction with Martha has been a nightmare. Although we love our dog he has severe fear aggression. Her website is a fraud - these dogs are not from superior lines and they are not family friendly. Do not support this breeder until you have done all your research.

Very sad! I have two dogs who have been trained there and one dog actually came from there. I had no Idea it was this bad and never had a bad experience until I refered my mom to have her dog trained there. She got a call a week later from James the trainer (Very sweet guy) saying her dog Lucy wouldn't eat wouldn't move and wouldn't let them get near her. My mom called me very upset and and went to see Lucy and she looked awful you could clearly see her ribs and tell she hadn't ate. Martha unfortunately tried to tell her everything in the book to make her feel like it would get better but she just couldn't continue the training. My mom called them to let them know she did not want to continue the training after they waited a week to call her and tell her she wasn't doing well, and no one would answer her calls. It was not until she told them she was going to have the police meet her up there the Trainer responded. You could tell he felt for her but Martha did not want to give her Lucy back until my mom signed something stating she would not be able to get her money back for canceling the training (that wasn't happening) My mom went on their property will out their permission to get Lucy and they called the cops.. little did they know the cop informed my mom she had every right to take her dog home and legally she did not have to sign the form and he would take them to court. I definitely will not be using or referring anyone to ABLE K9. We will definitely be taking her to court for a full refund.

You have no idea how bad it really is unless you worked there.I did not even make it threw my first day.I left.Drove down the street.parked.and cried.Those poor dogs.The girl who trained me acted like it was no big deal.The cages are small and there is no time for the dogs to get any love.It is all rush rush get it done.So much bleach was used in the building with small puppys my eyes where hurting.Each puppy got 3 different types of medicines.A pink liquid.a small pill.a big pill.All shoved down the puppys throats.Nothing but picking up the poop and washing away the pee with water was done in the hot barn the adults are kept in.That place should be shut down and the dogs given medical treatment.

I have no idea who this person is. For one I never told any one that my dog was on the 'Walker Texas Ranger' TV show. I tell people I have two of this dogs sons. The owner of the real Chino is a very good friend of mine. I can not understand how this person could speak with the producers of this show, since it has been out of production for many years, and they are no longer available. It might help if people get there fact right before they try to tell such malicious lies.

Able k9 has a very nice page but when you only tell people what they want to hear and nothing that is a fact it is easy to look good on the internet. Martha talks about a dog that was in Walker Texas Ranger ask her to show you the DVD of that episode, she wont. I contacted the producers of Walker Texas Ranger they said they were going to use a dog for a scene but the dog that was brought out was so filthy they didn't want it on the camera. It didn't matter because when the trainer tried to get it on the set the dog was so scared of all the equipment and went crazy trying to run away from the trainer. The producer said the dog was a German Shepherd named Chino. If anyone tells you they have puppies from a dog that was on Walker Texas Ranger RUN the other way.
