Livingwood Labs - Took deposit but no puppy
We were referred to Sarah Ray from a client of mine.

We drove to Sumter to meet with her and her husband and to look at the dogs and pregnant female. She then took a $250 deposit from us and said the female...

Shady business!!! I emailed Melissa about a puppy on her website- I've always adopted dogs but was looking for a breed that was hard to find/very pricey in my area. Seeing the many different puppies for sale should have been my first red flag- seems like a designer puppy mill!!! I asked several questions and most were ignored... She wanted to make a sale...

Marys Cocker Haven - Dogs with bad bacterial infections
My story with Mary's Cocker Haven in Colorado Springs started two months ago when I was looking for 2 new blue puppies to add to my blood lines. I came across Mary's website and saw that she had just had a litter of blue puppies. Her website looked good and so did the dogs and she also has written on her website that she is a very reputable breeder. And I...
bluefirepits.com - Animal cruelty/Puppy Mill
Wanting to purchase a new puppy to add to my family, I called Umar Abdur-Razzaaq @ bluefirepits.com. He informed me to go to his website a look at a video of three different puppies, a female and 2 males. All the puppies looked very healthy. So I choose a male puppy. When the puppy arrived (12 Hr flight) at the airport via air cargo he had several huge...
Lake House Doodles - Parvo
A breeder in Peterborough Kawarthas or Chemong Lake, under the name of Lakehouse Doddles sold us an 8 week old goldendoodle puppy with Parvovirus and it cost us thousands to save his life.

Kelly Swift of Sweetie Pie Pets Chihuahuas & Labradors bought an intact male Chihuahua from me claiming repeatedly he was her intended pet, her little bed dog to be, she agreed to have him neutered because he has a retained ball (one never dropped) which not only puts him at risk for testicular cancer but threatens his offspring too. He was placed as a best...

We purchased a Keeshond puppy from Erbekees in 2013. He just turned two years old and was diognosed with Elbow dysplasia. When we initially contacted the owner of Erbekees, she was sympathetic. However, when I provided her with the paperwork from the hospital where my dog had surgery, she was far from sympathetic. Included was a recommendation to...

I purchased a 4 month old Malshi puppy from Elizabeth's Exquisite Angels on Feb. 28, 2015. Due to inclement weather, she was not able to be shipped until March 7, 2015.

Wow! Cant believe after all these years Debbie Mason is still selling dogs. I can't even begin to explain the slew of complaints I received from upset consumers who bought puppies from Debbie and ended up with either sick or dying dogs. What a shame more people don't check up on sellers before buying! This woman has been pedaling sick dogs since 2009 which...

Would NOT RECOMMEND this breeder. My puppy is not healthy - my golden retriever is less than 1 year old and has been unable to climb without assistance and limps. The treatment from the breeder, Theresa, regarding these health issues has been a huge disappointment to my family.

I originally put down a deposit for a puppy when I had a job, however after losing my job due to lay offs I requested to have that deposit refunded so I could buy groceries for myself and asked if I could come back and purchase a puppy at a time where I was financially stable. She did not refund the 200 dollars and told me she is "just trying to run a...

My brother and his wife purchased a puppy from this kennel for $1100.00. The contract stated that if this puppy had any health issues or there were other difficulties that made keeping this puppy not a feasible option, that they were to contact the breeder first to return her to them and not to sell her themselves. My brother followed this advise when the...

I purchased a puppy from this breeder that died within 48 hours of parvo. The breeder agreed to pay a small portion towards the vet bills within the first few hours, but when the puppy died she refused to refund the rest of our money. And refused to respond to our last two communications to her. Be very careful if purchasing from this breeder that you get some kind of guarantee in writing.

Dog Breeder - dog breeding/animal abuse
Sue Robson sells puppies from suspicious breeder, Paul Zeiset. I personally bought a dog from her and it has been almost non-stop medical issues and expenses. I love my dog and would do anything for her so obviously she's had expert care and medication but, they should be stopped so dogs won't have to suffer. Thank you.

We purchased a beautiful puppy from Daniel and Ruthie Zook in Morgantown, Pennsylvania in December of 2013. We had her shipped to us.
