Southwest Bulldogs review: Stay away from this fraud! 129

I have also been taken for almost $6k by Rick Johnston and his son. On December 7th I filed a lawsuit against Rick and SWB. The fraud conducted by Rick Johnston is very similar if not the same as many of the postings here - claimed to sell a "show quality" dog with papers - neither was true.

Please email me at mitri@mwe.com with your history with Rick and Matt Johnston and SWB - the information will used in the lawsuit as evidence of the pattern of fraud conducted by these people.

Thank you,
Mark Itri.

If anybody would like to personally go talk to Matt the address is 7487 Patriot dr. Flagstaff Az, 86004. I'm sure he would be
unpleasantly surprised to say the least.

Brentwoodbulldog.com and Elena Schwinn are Frauds. Just like SW Bulldogs. I have been in touch with the Florida Attorney General and they told me they have a active and open investigation into Bredtwood Bulldog. I had friends visit their Florida " kennel " and much to my surprise there WAS NO KENNEL. Just an house with with crap thrown across the yard. There was a dog in the backyard, but not a Bulldog. I had my friend take pictures of their place and will post them soon. Elena Schwinn and Brentwood Bulldog will be shut down. They are fakes, liars and cheats. They have stopped taking my calls and returning my emails. The Attorney General told me they will be investigated. I was also in touch with the Palm Beach Animal Control and they too expressed they have received complaints.

P.S. I forgot to mention my response on Laure and the other idiot's remark on the other BIG GLAM Hollywood Stars and their dogs; mainly "MEATY."

First, watch the show!

You'll notice in the beginning it was interesting to watch "Meating" grow! OK

BUT MEATY, isn't THE STAR ANYMORE! You following me/us!

MEATY HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A [censored]...

*Like "SOUTHWEST BULLDOGS" Matt&RickJohnson... FRAUD!

Follow-up for yourself! Call Rob or Big Black, see what they say about SWB! And they didn't pay for Meaty; he was a ploy! Another way to advance... It's free advertising fools!

Ultimately I'm a fool too, but I Deeply hope this gimmick STOPS!

Wheres the big brother when you need him... chasing oil!

The Johnson's can't do anything about our comments; and they do effect his street games. Enough people will learn the hard way(like we did) and in all, I pray for some compensation!

Thank You!
Sincerely B.

THANK YOU Dan, and everyone else for standing up!

PLEASE, feel free to contact me personally... [protected]

I'm a hard working young man w/ a family. I thought good things don't come cheap, and that you "pay for what you get."

My mistake was looking at the big picture; I truly thought I could breed my female, like Rick lead me to believe, and have one of the BEST DOGS for free. Possibly, if everything went well, I could have "The all white male bulldog that I've always wanted," just by Rick Johnson's breeding methods... and some extra cash NOT TRUE! At all.

Reading some of the complaints about SWB I'm afraid of what I might find out about my dog if I ever did see my paperwork... possibly coming from, and or NOT coming from Scottland at all.

I hope in all, the accumulated funds would be returned to all those unhappy "PEOPLE." We bought top quality dogs, so we though and where promised paperwork... So, Like anything you purchase "The Johnson Family(SWB) should and NEEDS to be ACCOUNTABLE" for their Actions! 100%

P.S. Laure Jordan, one question!
a. How many dogs does he have on site? I had a young man call me a couple weeks back saying that he had left a $800-$1,500.00 deposit and would also like to see the farm.

Mr. Johnson's comment was that he had no dogs on site... so think what preparations would have been made for someone like you (and no offense) to hold some liability! Just a thought... Laure, alot of people are not hear to bad-mouth SWB or the Johnson Family... for no reason!

JUST THE OBVIOUS:
-To obtain what was promised; witch has not been!
-T0 go to what ever length to achieve educating others on SWB's bad business behavior and odd and unacceptable moral value!
-Frankly, to express our Loss! Thank You for your time, I hope we can all learn from this and possibly help one another out!

p.s. if anyone has a nice looking male to breed with and could send pictures, I'm still looking for an all white bullie... No $$$!
For my son/will trade a pup from litter. Obviously second pic after male!

I wrote in several months ago defending this
fraud and have found out the hard way that he is everything and more in the way of a liar thief etc. If everyone who has been screwed by this guy and his son will submit a complaint form to the Az attorney general
we can get this investigated and stopped.
Forms are available at www.azag.gov, phone number is [protected], please help put a stop to this. To Otilia and Tommy Miller sorry I ever doubted you. Please feel free
to contact me by e-mail or by phone@ [protected]

Good Grief...Have you people ever been to Rick's place...he was more than happy to have me over before I bought my bully...He place is beautiful...his dogs are beautiful...if he had anything to hide I dont know why he would have allowed my family and I full access to his place.. My dog is from Meaty's litter and he is beautiful... I am surprised that you could post so may rude comments about Rick and his son. I really wonder if YOU are a backyard breeder who thinks Rick is doing too well...

Well, well, it looks as if two people done wrong has branched off into something very very big!

I'm one of the first group of people who spoke out badly on southwest bulldogs...
I don't think there was a big complaint at first, but then not talking straight to rick and having to deal w/ matt his son struck me as odd and simply wrong. Again, i thought maybe rick is the fake and his son was trying to clear the family name. Not at all!
In all like father like son the two at swb have been taking money and turned a simple situation and made it chaotic w/ a chaotic dog breeding business!

For anyone who stands up for him, is probably like me in the first two months or half year... Foolishly, and immaturely bought into a falty product(maybe there is one or two good looking dogs, but most definitly not healthy, good, and well behavied dogs).

Frankly, i love my dog! But like my father said (and many others)when i bought sarah for us$4,800... That was stupid! Very stupid!
Matt and rick johnson might have had something if they stuck to the basics of business and not became greedy!
1.have good product!
2. Treat your costumer with respect!
3. Give accurate information on dogs and dog papers!

I would have forfitted my rights to breed with this crock of ### just for my papers... But in all
He has lied about sending and ever owning paperwork on my dog! And never paying for my dogs health problems(cherryeye/mange). Lastly, when i asked about my dogs paperwork on september 1st 2007, he hung-up... So i called back twice and he said my complaints "ruined" his name! So it seems when things don't go right he threated me with pressing charges.

I'm not the first person this has happened too! And i hope i'm not the last...

Since i've posted this complaint, i have had:

Tax accountants calling me... Saying how many other people have been screwed! And that an organasation of this size needs to claim some of the income coming in!

County accountants, trying to make the johnson family accountable for all the dogs passing through(like someone said befor about that "### hole," theres alot more going on then you think).

And his old neighbor that said everything that went on at that broken house was an, imitation, negative, and neglectful doing. That they couldn't even keep the house because of matts own mother disconduct.

Matt, your a srewball like your father and don't ever try to show your half ### comments, in reflection of the profits now going to(unfortunatly) you! You made a good thing, taste like the dog ### you pick up!
P.s. I don't plan on going any further with this, but enough people have stood-up and hopefully stop this madness...

P.s.s. And for those of you still curious; ask anyone person at a dog show dealing with bulldogs akc ukc

Southwest bulldogs are not even show quality!

HMMMM imagine that another person who comes here and makes claims about how great their dog is from the fraud rick johnston but yet nothing to back it up with!

I bought a english bulldog off of Rick Johnston and we are very pleased and happy with the way our puppy looked. He is one show away from being an AKC champion. He has placed second 9 times and third 3 times with over thirty 1st place wins. We never had a problem with Rick Johnston, we got the AKC papers when we received our pup. Rick Johnston was very professional. My dog is the spitting image of his dad limited edition. He has a big head and weighs over 64 pounds and is under two years at this time. He just currently won a three point major in South Carolina. I am very pleased with my dog.

Hello fellow victims! : I think it's pretty damn sad that these crooks cannot be stopped and or at least prosecuted. I purchased a beautiful female bully last November (06) from "cutestpups01@yahoo.com /Hugo Carnucci/Tony , whatever his name is. He suggested I send it via moneygram for $ 1800.00 to get it there in time... I did. Still waiting for my puppy. Was a gift for my husband after our dog died after 12 years. I am still heart broken and will not forgive his indecency, ever. I wrote to the district attorney to file charges against him, but he said that "he" wasn't an actual merchant, so he wouldn't help. Guess thats what I get for being stupid! I run across his name on occasion and remind him that he will get his, eventually and he will. Best of luck to all of you!

I purchased a "show quality" male from Rick Johnston for $4800. In a nutshell, this dog had only one testicle and suffered from multiple pneumonias. Rick stated a dog with one testicle does not disqualify him for show and is a "desirable genetic trait." Needles to say, I was speechless! In 6 months we had spent a small fortune on vet bills for repeat pneumonias. After seeing a radiologic specialist and a total of three vets we were informed the dog SHOULD NEVER BE BRED. We also had to have surgery to remove the testicle in his abdomen. Unfortunately, because of his poor lung condition we had to wait for the pneumonia to clear. Rick stated the reason for his health issues is because of our neglect and to never contact him again. I simply stated we did not spend $4800 on a bulldog so we could neglect it. We have never received registration or any paperwork. We love our bulldog even though he has had Cherry eye, undescended testicle and multiple pneumonias. These pneumonias have caused permanent Lung fibrosis which can plainly be seen on chest x-ray. This e-mail is 100% truth. I will be glad to speak with anyone having doubts.

James Warnock

I truly believe that everyone who purchased a dog from Rick had the best of intentions. I believe that everyone wanted to better the breed and that is why it was easy to believe what Rick was saying. As people we always want to believe we are doing something good and when reading the SWB website, how can you not believe it. Rick is a good salesman and probably has a website that sales used cars or property in the desert.

If you truly purchased a bulldog from him and are happy than good for you but, you would be in the minority. I am owned by 6 bulldogs. I have been reading these complaints for some time now and did some research of my own. I have spoken with many Bulldog breeders about Rick and they all say the same thing. SCAM ARTIST! STAY AWAY!

I have 4 champions. 2 Home bred and 2 I purchased as puppies and finished them. For the 2 purchased champions, I paid $2,000.00 for one of them and $2,500.00 for the other. I sell my puppies for $2,000.00. I try to breed the best quality Bulldog possible. I have a total of "0" perfect bulldogs and probably never will but, I try. That is part of the fun and love of the breed.

I have spoken with no less than 70 people about rick and I found 7 people that were happy with the puppies they bought. 5 of them actually called me back when their puppies got "red mange" or "cherry eye". I tried to speak with Rick about these things and he said he would call me back and I have not been able to contact him since. I don't know him personally and i have never purchased a dog from him but I will say this, "After all that I have read, after all the people that I have talked to, I will NEVER purchase an adult dog, a puppy or even a can of soda from this person.

Well I guess you didn't know much either because he suckered you too!... People just got taken in... and I probably did too... but it's not true that we are trying to ruin the bulldog breed.. we just truly believed what he was saying and we were trying to make the breed better... there's truly scam artist out there and you are probably right about him... we are trying search for the truth about all of this and it really makes me mad and sad at the same time... the truth will come out... I truly apologize ...

All i have to say to those who fell for SW Bulldog scam is GOOD FOR YOU! Basically Rick convinced you that by you buying into his club bull**** you would make money beyond your imagination by breeding these bullies and multiply your stock yr to yr. All you people are upset about is that you got robbed for your money and all these get rich fast dreams Rick promised you were all lies, you don't care about the health of the bulldogs you received, whats really hurting you is thats more money you are losing in vet bills to keep in false investment alive. Its funny how you people have to go to a vet to have them tell you the dogs you received don't fit the standard, if you really researched the breed before purchasing these dogs you would know this yourself. I am really glad this incident happened to you because its people like you that have ruined the english bulldog breed. People like you with no knowledge of the breed are the ones that breed unhealthy dogs cause your just in it for the money. The same thing rick had done to you is what you were planning on doing to other people.

Tessa or who ever you are, you are truly just IGNORANT!See the problem is you didnt come here to just say you were a satisfied customer of rick's your very first post was attacking me and accusing me of writing a comment and saying my name was anise and then when anise wrote back to your ignorant a** you still tried to say it was me. You shouldn't of came here trying to make accusations accusing me of writing false comments and you shouldn't have been making stupid comments and you wouldn't have been called stupid! So you came here with a motive and it easnt to say you were a satisfied customer! You came on here starting trouble and your trying to defend that fraud! AND JUST LIKE I THOUGHT I OFFERED TO SHOW YOU MY PROOF AND YOU TOTALLY AVOIDED THAT ISSUE! And im about done dealing with you due to your pure ignorance. I cant waste my time with such stupidity! I shouldn't have to go to court to get anything when I was supposed to be dealing with the breeder of champions who breed's the best of the best,I should only have to take crook's and fraud's to court to get what I paid for. But since he is a fraud and a crook I will be seeing him in court. And if im so annoying go away because like I said WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR, WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE HERE?And your statement about the pictures only proves your pure ignorance! If his dogs are so much better than American line breed bca bulldogs and he has spent years on getting the features of his dogs and they are the best you will find on the internet then why have a picture of the american bred bulldogs on one of his gbba sites? Like I said go away who ever you are, you had your chance to provide proof to back up your LIES and you couldn't! Your just a fake and a fraud also and like I said im done dealing with some one like you WHO EVER YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!

You still do not make any sense... why are you so pissed off? Excuse me but I am not stupid, you sure like to call people names and downgrade them. I have my experience and you have yours... that's the bottom line... I am not scared, you are a piece of work and maybe that's why you are having so many problems. How did her dog die?

I AM HERE TO SAY THAT I WAS ONE OF HIS CUSTOMERS AND I AM A SATISFIED ONE! DOGS ARE LIVING THINGS, THINGS HAPPEN. YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN... YOU SHOULD JUST STOP THE CRAP AND JUST GO TO COURT... WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING THIS THING... YOU'RE ANNOYING...

And the picture thing about using the pictures of someone else was just a freaking picture they never advertised the dogs as theirs!

What do you mean my analogy doesn't make sense are you that stupid that I have to slowly explain it to you.Here we go rick rips people off which is basically robbing people of thousands of dollars and your attitude is that he didn't rip you off so he's o.k to you.Your a joke! Listen to jennifer whealy's story on how her swb died only after 1 1/2 years. And you have the nerve to come here and speak anything defending him (but you have no proof) you just a pathetic person! Since you have so much time go back to page 1 and read what every one has to say and their experience with rick and may be you will realize how ridiculous you are being! If ricks dogs are so great then why does he steal pics of a bca members puppies and use them on one of his gbba sites and refuse to remove the pics after being asked by the owner of the puppies. Oh is that why you are scared to show your so called proof because some one like rick will steal your so called proof and try to use it for their benefit. And I will be glad to show you my proof of my contract which you can then contact the akc and find out for your self that their is no registration on a litter for the dam any where near the time my puppy was supposedly born. I can give you vet bills showing A+ health is not true, I can give you pictures of my dog proving he is not show quality, and I can show you proof of my $6,150 payment. Email me your email address or phone number and we can talk. I am not scared like you! And i am here to help people like Natalie not get ripped off $5-6,000. And just read her message and you will see I did help her AND THATS WHY I AM HERE NOW WHY ARE YOU HERE! And you cant get the papers if its a unregistered litter and I will keep exposing this fraud until he's gone!

Your analogy doesn't even make sense... And i am not matt or rick... I don't have to prove anything to anyone... You need to prove he's a fraud... You haven't proved it to anyone yet!

Send prove that he's done what you say he's done... It doesn't take much time to check this site... Give me a break! I work on my machine... You sure are fast to judge people, you don't even know me! And i haven't put anyone down...

Why do you keep coming back in here? Got nothing to do? Get going and get the paperwork you said you never got! Instead of heating the pot...

Ok, so if someone was a burglar would you say well he didn't burglarize my place so he's o.k.! Your just ridiculous and a fraud like him. You have no proof and your just full of b.s. Like him! I'm not whinnying i am trying to help people before they get RIPPED off like so many others, unlike you who's assisting him! Your putting down people who have been ripped of thousands of dollars, not just a couple thousand but some $25,000. And your info wouldn't help me none but it would back your b.s up and prove your not just a fraud like him just trying to back him up. But I believe you are a fake and probably some one with rick who benefits from his scam! And it seems very strange that you seem to have the time and are so concerned to continuously come here and defend him. Hmmm what do you have to gain from this? Or are you rick or matt?

That's not my attitude! My attitude is he hasn't ripped me off! What can I do for the ones that supposedly have been ripped off? My showing my paperwork and everything else YOU want from me does not help your case at all...

I have it... and so what if i don't show proof to you? Again, how is that going to help you get what you want? How is it going to help others from getting"ripped off"... Maybe people need to be more proactive in their matters and maybe some of these things would not happened to them... I am just putting out there, there is a side to every story and not everyone has the time to get theirs in! And it is a free speech country, remember? I don't have to go away!

Tessa then I guess your attitude is he didn't rip you off so who cares about every one else. You defending him is ridiculous. There are more and more complaints coming out all the time. Just because their not posted here doesn't mean its not happening. I got a email from a guy last week who cant get his papers from rick. I called the akc and gave them sweet pea's (the dam on my contract for my puppy) registration number and they told me their was no registered litter for that female anywhere close to the time rick says my puppy was born. I mean we are talking $6,000 dollar dogs here a person shouldn't have any complaints. These are supposed to be the best of the best so to have any complaints is an outrage! This man is a fraud and there is something being done about it and its just a matter of time before this fraud is completely exposed and in trouble. AND JUST LIKE I STATED THERE HAS BEEN YET 1 PERSON TO COME FORWARD WITH PROOF OF A HEALTHY REGISTERED DOG FROM HIM! So make all the excuses you want to not show any proof but just like I thought you couldn't provide ANYTHING! Now go away and quit trying to assist him in ripping more people off.

First of all when you say one person, you are just talking about the many 8 persons on this complaint board... What are you doing now to get your paperwork? I have pictures of my dogs with AKC numbers and their pedigree... I know what I have and I really do not want to share that with the entire world because there are a lot of people out there that will want to do something bad with it... and for now everything is fine with ours... If something happens to us believe me I will share it with not only you but someone that will be able to do something about it!

Well tessa then please show some proof. I have asked before and received nothing.You can email me pictures, pedigrees and registration numbers of your dogs and then I can verify what you say. And if its true I will post it verifying that what you say is true. But like I've said i have been looking for 6 months now and not found 1 person with some PROOF. So please give some proof or go away because this is a complaints board to try to help people not get ripped off like so many others and if you and the others keep coming here to defend that fraud but show no proof to back up what you say then you are just trying to able that fraud in ripping more people off.

I have several dogs from SWB and they have papers and they are fine...

I would personally like to thank Tommy Miller who went out of his way to contact me. He took the time out of his own life to tell me his story in detail and I have seen his dogs. He gave me advice and much needed encouragement to continue the "dream".

Not if, but when, this happens to someone else they may come across this info. I would like them to know they do not have to doubt what Mr. Miller has to say. Or my experience with SWB.

Just an FYI to everyone. I have requested a refund of my deposit thru my card company and paypal. SWB has 3 days to appeal. Of course SWB called me after they got this info 24 hours ago because they so value me as a client. (NO that didn't happen).

Also they cashed a check for 185.00 for the accident insurance. I had to fill out countless forms at the bank today to try to get that back. So currently I am out 1685.00. I also want to thank those that emailed me. Not all were from people who posted on this site. It seems more of us are starting to turn up. I am just your average everyday person, who, when I started researching bulldogs got scared to death, and thought I was getting the best available and willing to pay for it. This is heartbreaking for me. I have devoted more than 6 months to this cause. I live PA about 50 miles from Phila. Willling to drive to NJ, NY, Delaware or Maryland if someone can please refer me to a trustworthy breeder. I am exhausted from my initial search and the stress of the outcome. Please email me if you know someone. Thanks!

Your correct he told you a story! Thats what he always has is a story. Try to get your money back if you can and good luck on finding a REAL person that has got a dog from him and that is healthy and has registered papers. I have been searching for 6 months now and have yet to find 1 person that can show me PROOF.

Help! I just came across this forum. I currently have a deposit with SWB! I have waited 2 months and had heard nothing so I emailed them. I was instantly shown an 18 week old puppy and also told a story that it was a GBBA partners dog who was way down on his luck and didn't have time to place the dog. When I questioned several times I got no straight answer as I am assuming it was returned to the them. I am now told my wait is 3 -6 months because we passed on this dog. Should I cancel my deposit as better to lose 750.00 than 5,000? If there is someone out there who really did get a great dog with papers please contact me!

Thanks!

I took a look at that dog... those are two different dogs! You know how many bullies are out there that are white with brown spots? One has shorter legs and one's nose is not filled in all the way yet... look at them closely...

Normal routine when buying a bullie and you are really interested you get in touch with the breeder to find out what they have at that present time.

What are you trying to say?

The pictures that one guy has on his site, www.route66bulldogs.com. The guy who is in with Rick and Matt selling bulldogs. Well there are 2 pictures and they said sold on them with different prices when its actual the same dog but different angles. Also that dog which is a white bulldog with brown spots was the dog I was gonna buy from another breeder, That breeder sent me those pictures and one with my name written on a piece of paper next to the dog. So that guy is stealing pictures from other bulldog breeders and posting it as his own

Since we're talking puppy importers here... let's definitely throw Todd Howard @ Bigbulldogs.com into the mix. I was told my puppy was bred by him and the parents were at his breeding facility. Well... I got the pedigree papers 2 and a half months later... MY PUPPY WAS FROM HUNGARY! Todd doesn't tell any of his buyers where the puppies are from, he waits until they bond with the puppy and then sends the papers. Fortunately, Todd did give me a full refund and I kept my dog. But people need to be aware of LIARS like him, and Rick, epuppypro.com, lobopuppies.com and every other importers out there that doesn't give a rat's a*s about these puppies!

I'm not concerned with that I have spoken nothing but the truth and its only slander if someone makes false claims. I have proof to back up everything I have said.

Well... Tommy... You should be careful with all the statements you are making. You can get sued for slander, and that wouldn't be pretty.

I would just like to point out the fact that derrick, dan, cindy, mike, and john who have all came to this board defending that fraud rick and I challenged all of them to SHOW THEIR PROOF and not 1 piece of proof from any one of them. HMMM now thats STRANGE! I just want to point this out because I actually believe most of these people are either rick or matt it doesn't matter though they are both frauds! Now Otilia has shined some more light on this fraud and that everything he says is just fraudulent claims. His whole 5 generations of non line breed champions is also b.s. Anyone who reads this make sure to take note and pass on to anyone and everyone that this man is a fraud and to STAY AWAY FROM SOUTHWEST BULLDOGS!

I stumbled across this thread and have read it with much interest (and amusement). As a show/performance breeder myself (of a different breed), I find this whole thing ridiculous. I feel so sorry for those of you who were scammed by this crook. However, it really isn't that hard to spot an irreputable breeder when you know what to look for. There are so many reputable show/hobby breeders out there if you do a bit of research. Two points:

1-$6000 is a lot for even a top quality, proven show dog. Let alone a puppy with no pedigree and no papers.
2-line breeding and inbreeding is a very useful tool and the staple of many reputable breeding programs. It is a common misconception that inbreeding is "bad." The general public thinks so, so I'm sure that this "breeder" built his "GBBA" to further his scam.

The truth about linebreeding is that it will ONLY intensify traits (both good and bad) that are already present in the genome. It causes homozygosity (like alleles for a certain trait combining). This is a good thing for those of us looking to strengthen our bloodlines. If you have a strong bloodline, then it is far more dangerous to do an uninformed outcross (breeding of unrelated individuals) then it is to line-breed. That's IF you have a strong bloodline and quality breeding dogs to begin with.

Who am I to say all this? I am a reputable show breeder, and member of my national parent club, vice-pres of my regional AKC breed club, and member of several AKC kennel clubs. I have actively shown dogs in AKC conformation and performance events since 1993. I have had at least one top 10 ranked conformation dog each year since 1999, and own the top-winning ### of all time in my breed (3 time National Specialty winner and 2 time Westminster Best of Breed winner). I have bred many AKC bench champions, field champions, dual champions, and specialty and group winners - and would be happy to prove it to anyone questioning. I would also be MORE THAN HAPPY to mentor anyone who is wanting to find out how to select a reputable breeder (of any breed) to purchase a puppy from.

Sorry to pipe in even though I'm a non-bulldog person, but I think that reputable show/performance dog breeding is universal. Best of luck to all of you.

This is so funny.

Tommy is the only person posting complaints? Well go ahead and email me directly. I'll be happy to talk to you on the phone and even fax you a copy of my pedigree to show that I am real and own one of Rick's dogs. He is EVERYTHING that Tommy is saying!

Oh by the way, his claim of being a "genetic breeder" yet another lie. I pulled my dogs pedigree and found that Limited Edition's mother and Sweet Pea's great grandmother are the SAME Dog. So he has had several puppies from these two dogs that are NOT genetic. Furthermore, Sweet Pea's sister is Sodona who has also produced several pups with Limited Edition. So again line breeding. Rick's website claims NO line breeding for 5 generations, LIE. The facts speak for themselves. Limited Edition's AKC number is NP11254401 and Sweet Pea's is NP09885002 if you'd like to confirm this. So to all of the Rick fans, here's my proof please post yours. Which I doubt you'll do because you have none. You are just trying to get people to buy Rick's lies for gain.

I sent numerous emails yesterday and today, to CCB for the illegal use of my puppies pics on their site. I was told it would be taken off because she is an "honest" person, yet the picture remains.

Whatever rick or matt I don't have to act like other people here and post false claims like you are doing. Anyone can research these claims here and at [redacted] or the squeaky wheel and find out whose making them. And I guarantee they will find out I have ties to know one with these complaints. Only some one thats a scammer and fraud would come here and make up people to defend them selfs. And we all know whose a scammer and fraud and thats RICK AND MATT JOHNSTON. I mean come on he stole these pictures of American breed bulldogs and put them on one of his bs gbba sites and now refuses to take them off and threatens to sue for slander. This guy has nerve but thats ok because its only slander if you don't speak the truth about someone and everything against him is a fact. He has illegally stole the picture and hopefully soon to be sued for it and i am working on my own lawsuit against this FRAUD.
