Bulldogs R US review: Unauthorized Use of My Puppy's Photo To Leer Buyers 6

Robin Schulder is currently stealing other breeder's photos and using them to leer buyers in. This past weekend I was made aware that she stole my puppy's photos off my website and had posted them on her advertisements. When she was contacted about that puppy she said it was a male(wrong) and then said it had just recieved a deposit but had several of the littermates available.

Is something wrong with her dogs? Ask yourself why must she use other's photos! Either her pups are too sick or they are not up to conformation standards(they do not look the way the should) so she is embarrassed to display them. You draw your own conclusions. I would like to know of any legitament reason for acting in this fraudulent manner. Let me make this clear, I know nothing about her dogs only what I have read and the actions she took when she displayed my photo on her advertisement and then told people she had the littermates for sale. Logic tells you something is very wrong.

At first, I was angry at the audacity of this woman. After reading many complaint here and other consumer reporting sites I am just sicken and sadden. Not just for the scammed buyers but also for this wonderful breed, the English Bulldog.

I appologize for any harm that may have been afflicted on you from the unauthorized use of my photos. Measures have been taken to deter this scam in the future. Myself or family is not affiliated with this person/business in any way, shape or form.

BUYERS,

Hopefully you are reading this before a purchase. You are already taking the right steps.

ALWAYS get the breeder to provide you with a HEALTH CERTIFICATE from a licensed vet.
RESEARCH THE BREED know what the common health issues are and the treatment and the conformation standards
FIND a breeder by asking your vet, other owners and kennel/breeder clubs
GOOGLE the name of the BREEDER and PHONE NUMBER/s
KNOW the PUPPY LEMON LAWS
NEVER buy from the INTERNET go to the breeder's home and observe
VIEW BOTH PARENTS and the litter
ASK for references from PREVIOUS BUYERS along with current photos of that puppy
NEVER BUY from mills, brokers, pet shops
JOIN a specific breed club in your area or start one. This can be a valuable resource now and in the future

These are just a few things that may be helpful in finding your new companion.

To Robin,

Please stop making it harder and harder to find a healthy English Bulldog. A true breeder will breed for the love of this wonderful breed. They choose a already excellent bloodline and spend thier lifetime striving to improve and perfect this line. They take what the previous responsible breeder has worked on and try to make it better, not harming this breed.

FYI: Demodectic Mange is inherited by the parents(female usually) and the pups produced will have a weaker immunity to this mite and so forth down the line until it(the pups) will have to be euthanized because they do not respond to treatment.

If you have a dog that has ever had this disease please spay/neuter it. If you currently have puppies for sale by the parent/s please let the buyers know they need to be spayed/neutered for this reason. It is a good practise to limit a healthy litter's ablity to reproduce to only the best puppy of the litter anyway.

Be honest with yourself and your buyers about your line. This is the first step in helping produce a better breed. There is no bloodline or stock that is perfect...yet! It is not about the money but passion. You should be proud of your line and not need to take others work and pose it as your own. Take a look at why you are doing this and then do the right thing. You need to decide if breeding is what you thought it was and if you should continue. Life is about growning and learning. This may have started as a way to make money but you should have realize now that it is much more than that and it may not be for you. It is hard work and good judgement. PLEASE! PLEASE! HELP PROTECT THIS WONDERFUL BREED!

As a breeder you are leaving your mark on this breed~make it a positive one.
