We recently purchased a puppy from Gentle Giants and noticed the day that we got him, he was skinny. We did everything we could to get weight on him. We took him to the vet and she checked his hips and there was pain. For a 9 week old puppy there should not be pain. I contacted Angela and she wanted me to bring the puppy back so she could take it to her vet. I relunctanly agreed because she told me that she would not honor her contract. She texted me that day and said that he was skinny and I sent her the pictures of the puppy the day we brought him home. She took the puppy to the vet and sent me the results which came back that the puppy did indeed have pain. She refunded my money but now she is trying to sell the puppy for 200 less than what I paid for him. She even kept his name. If you are wanting to do business with her I wouldn't. Please see our webpage about the situation: http://ggotsbn.webs.com/

So true Rifkin, it is sad but I thought we did do our research. We are lucky that we did get our money back but we still feel that it is our duty to help others not go through the same thing. There is a link on the website that you can email the website owner and share your stories.

Albny is he the one that you just bought, his name was Chaos. I am doing this for you to make sure that you are aware of what you are getting and that he does have a history. We loved him and she took him away!

I got a puppy from her May 31st, 2021 litter and she tested positive a week after I brought her home. Luckily, with quality vet care, she beat it and we’ve had no issues since. I’ve spent months beating myself up because I thought I was responsible, even though I kept her home because she wasn’t fully vaccinated. I’m outraged that this lady is still conning people, outraged that she isn’t properly caring for these animals, but somewhat relieved that I wasn’t the one responsible for hurting my baby girl.

We also bought a puppy from this poor excuse for a breeder. Our puppy is only seven months old. We already have spent over $3, 000 on vet bills. She had an umbilical hernia that Ann assured us was nothing, and would just go away. We had three different vets give us their opinion. Took her to UGA for surgery. When the opened her up they found multiple congenital anomalies. Her heart was not in place, and her liver was twisted! She is recuperating now with a 12” incision on her belly after her surgery. Any calls to her “breeder” Ann, go unanswered. She won’t send us her registration papers ( we paid for a registered dog and would like to have her papers. No intention of breeding her. They spayed her as well when they did the hernia surgery) We just wanted to make her aware of everything that was going on. We don’t expect our money back, we love our puppy, and feel she is lucky to be with us. We were diligent and concerned enough to get her the proper care. But I d just like to find this excuse of a breeder and shove the Bible she gave us right back at her. I think the first clue was we were to meet them in the Home Depot parking lot to pick up our puppy. I felt like I was in the middle of an illegal drug transaction! I’m going to guess she doesn’t want anyone to know where she lives, or the condition of her “kennel” . Definitely a back yard breeder puppy mill.

Wow I almost purchased a new pup from her, SO glad I checked out this message board first - I will absolutely be finding a new breeder!

We also purchased one from her and it had parvo! It was sick from the moment we picked her up. She picked her up from us and took her to her vet and then she died two days later. We were given another one but we had to wait awhile to get the parvo out of our house. She insisted that she had no idea that she was sick and didn't know where she could have picked up the parvo.

Angela Hardy is a professional scam artist. She was a breeder in Atlanta who is now illegally residing at 28076 Saint Matthews Church Road in Metter, Georgia Candler County approx 60 miles west of Savannah.

I am looking to see if this spoken about puppy is one that I have just purchased. Is there a description of this puppy to provide to see if it is the one?

We have dealt with her also, Angela claims to be a christian but does not act like it in her business dealings. Her contract states that a replacement puppy will be done, so if she gave you back your money, you are lucky. She must have known that the puppy had problems. According to your images on your page, after the antibiotics were started, the puppy started gaining weight so this is not neglect. The vet if he or she was any count would not sign off on her selling the puppy in pain. Sorry that you had to go through this. We was going to buy off her but she never wanted to answer any questions and was very "wishy washy" about the answers that she did answer.
