I purchases a $1500 Maltese from Cyndi Epplin in February 2007. We had a contract that if the dog was diagnosed with a congenital defect within one year of purchase, there was 100% reimbursement. Nearly a month after purchase the puppy became very ill and was diagnosed by our vet and then a cardiologist specialist with having a hole in his heart a...

STAY AWAY!!! this woman is scamming people and saying that she has CKC registered pugs when she doesn't. If you call her on it she will say her dogs are registered with the Continental Kennel Club not the Canadian Kennel Club but Continental doesn't even work with Canadian breeders. She is giving us all a bad name by double-charging people and then not...

I bought a kitten from Cindy Pipping in March of 2008. I had the kitten shipped to me, across the country. Ive never bought a kitten from a breeder out of state before, so between the shipping and the freezing weather, it was stressful. I had had problems getting Cindy to repond to emails in a reasonable amount of time, but each time she apologized and had...

Watch out for this guy seems great at first and promises he will back his horses. This is not the case I bought a made rope horse from this guy and after we bought him we took him to a roping practice 2 days after we bought him.

This "company" knowingly kept information from me that might have changed my decision to purchase a puppy from them. This is why they kept it from me, obviously, so they could take my money and hopefully I wouldn't notice. The puppy was taken in to a vet, after I purchased her but before she had been shipped to me, for a hernia repair. First of all, after I...

I was so upset about the treatment from this breeder after writing her an email inquiring about the purchase price of a terrier pup. The lady the runs the kennel responded generally rude and arrogant stating that if price was of main concern than she may not have anything for me, and wants her pups to be cared for by responsible people, not stop and...
