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...

Cammie's K9 Friends - Bad breeder/deceitful practice

This guy has sold us a puppy that was very sick, we struggled with him for months and months on end to save his life and sadly we had no other choice then to put him down he was just not going to make it.

When I contacted the breeder to get an estimate for her Westies that I've wabted to buy for years, she blatantly disrespected me. She said she would not sell me a westie because she had the reputation of picking good homes for her Westies. Apparently the fact that I want to know approximately how much her Westies cost, I am a bad dog owner. Little does she...

I bought my Newfie from Deb Wigal, a veterinarian and breeder, three years ago. She told me over the phone that the only puppy she had left from her latest litter had a heart murmur. I researched murmurs in dogs and found out that he was likely to grow out of it. I took the chance and bought him. She expressed no other health concerns for him at any time...

To those who are looking to buy Black Russian Terrier pups, let me tell you about my experiences with Helene Haldi from Russian Bear Kennels. I first contacted Helene in Jan. 2013. She said most of her litters were either $2000 or $2500, but if I got one that was $2500, she would help with shipping. When I asked her the difference in prices she said, "2nd...

I was in the process of purchasing two puppies from this breeder.

Windy Knolls Kennel / Purebred Puppy - False guarantee
Breeder's advertisement guaranteed health of pup but breeder refused to provide written veterinary disclosure statements about the genetic health of the parents - which information could directly affect the health of the puppy and therefore possibly affect the "health guarantee" that breeder was offering. Breeder was asked TWICE by me for WRITTEN vet...
