I do not advise purchasing a puppy from Freeman Frenchies in Neosho, Missouri, no matter how cute the puppy pictures are!
I was trying to give the breeder the benefit of the doubt before I started submitting reviews to try and warn others, however after it being over four months since I purchased my puppy and still have the issue unresolved I wanted to share so hopefully others don't have to go through this frustration.
I found the breeder through AKC Marketplace and while I did see the other negative review, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and took her word for the explanation of what I'd read especially since she was listed on the AKC Marketplace website. I and am currently working with AKC to attempt to get the paperwork for my puppy that I picked up late March. I was told multiple times by the breeder, all of which is documented, that she submitted the registration paperwork to AKC and even that she called them to confirm it had been received, however later found out from AKC they never received any paperwork on my puppy. The breeder had advised (and gave paperwork) that she submits everything for the buyers to register the pure breed puppy with AKC and registration of the microchip she put in my puppy as well as other things. While my puppy has a microchip, if this isn't resolved I will have to have her chipped again so I can ensure she is registered to me should something ever happen and she get lost. Prior to me reaching out to AKC for assistance the breeder had stopped responding to my texts and email.
Considering I paid $2000 for my puppy it makes me question if the breeder is a legitimate full blood Frenchie breeder, or if she is scamming since after several weeks she also hasn't responded to the letter AKC sent her.
Another big lesson I have learned through all of this is that if you are purchasing a full breed with AKC registered parents, get a copy of the parents AKC registration information so that should you have any problems you can give that information to AKC. I didn't know to get that information, nor did the breeder send me the parents AKC #'s when AKC requested them.
There are a TON of other breeders out there, based on my experience I would suggest not purchasing your new fur baby from this breeder!
I saw after posting breeder is now going by Freeman French Bulldogs. FYI, the address may say Neosho or Seneca, MO.
**Do Not purchase your puppy from this dishonest and unethical breeder**
Caryl Freeman delivered on one of her many promises to me, and that was I received my dog. Other than that she has failed to live up to her obligations as a breeder.
Things she didn’t do:
Register the dog
Start free pet insurance through AKC
Send a promised contract
Send a promised puppy care package
The worst thing is my poor puppy has a genetic defect known as an ectopic ureter. Part of Caryl’s supposed contract is she is liable for any genetic defects if you get the pet care as directed (which was done). I have racked up over $7, 500 in pet care and surgeries. Some of that could have been covered had this lazy/dishonest breeder actually started the free insurance. The other amounts I would have been happy to split with the breeder (which she again agreed to) but that hasn’t happened. If anyone would like to receive copies of text with Caryl or receipts from her medical care please leave your email below and I would be happy to furnish them to you.
As a loving dog owner I want to prevent any potential owner from the grossly negative experience I have had with this breeder and possibly avoid you buying a genetically defective dog.
