We bought two weimaraners from Sheila Rush. She told us first they were AKC registrants, and they are not, they are UKC. We bought a boy and a girl. when we got there both dogs acted scared and unsure of what to do, I figured new people they were jumpy. When we got them home they continued to act this way, and we ended up thinking they had parvo. They didn't because they started eating and drinking and weren't throwing up. They ended up pooping in the house and I came to realize they had worms. They were supposed to be wormed and have their first shots, well they didn't. We ended up taking them to the vet, obviously, to treat them. They had roundworm and some other intestinal parasite that I can't even say or spell. Bailey my girl had yeast in her ears. I tried calling Rush Kennels and asking what happend since they claim to be a 5 star kennel. No answer, when I did get someone to pick up the phone, Holly, she was very rude. She hung up on my husband and was very rude with me told me to read my contract. I told her my contract wasn't legal because I got two sick puppies. I then proceeded to write a review about them on their website only to wake up and see they had deleted it. I wish I'd have seen all these complaints on Rush Kennels because I'd have never of went out there. I do wish to do something for the poor animals there. Another thing when I got my girl she looked starved. And why can't we go see the parents, or the babies. For their safety our for theirs. Whatever you Do Everyone needs to stay away from this place!

All anyone simply needs to do is visit www.rushkennel.com Rush Kennels does not breed English Bull dogs. A friend of mine is a K-9 Trainer, he has worked for Rush Kennels for over three years he also said that this kennel does not breed English Bull dogs.

I myself have not bought any puppies from rush kennels but I know of 3 people over the past couple of years that have. They were told the puppies were English Bulldogs and they were registered as English bulldogs, they were not purebred bulldogs. They are all boxer/bulldog mixes. The first couple tried to contact Shelia and after about 100 calls and a certified letter threatening to take them to court. Shelia contacted them and trade the puppy for another puppy that was suppose to about 6 months old. When they took the puppy to the vet the day after it was picked up, they were told that in fact the puppy was not a puppy but about 3 years old and pregnant. When they tried to contact Shelia again with this information she had blocked their phone number. they decide just to care for the dog and the puppies which were bulldog /boxer mixes and find them loving homes.

Another couple had bought what they believe to and were told was AKC bulldog puppy and the AKC papers given with the puppy say bulldog. The puppy is now a tall 80 lb Boxer/bulldog mix from the look of him. This couple has to tried to contact Rush Kennels and their number to has been blocked. And it is the same story with the the third rush kennel puppy buyer. no one I have ever talked to has gotten a puppy from Rush Kennel that is what is was suppose to be.

This person is simply not telling the truth, posted on our website home page, all of Rush Kennels puppies are registered with Univerasal Kennel Club Internatioanl, which is a top registry. As of today's date we have yet to receive documentation from her veterinarian that either of her puppies truly had a problem, our health contract clearly states Rush Kennels must be notified by a Verterinarian if a puppy has an issue. We find it strange out of a litter of eight her puppies were the only ones with a problem or as she claims, with out Veterinarian documentation it's only a claim. Parents are always shown by request at the time of pick up. Rush Kennels has a five star rating, testimonials can be read on our website guestbook fr0m our many customers over the years, they say it all about what our customers think of Rush Kennels.
