Surf n Turf Portuguese Water Dogs - Refuses to register/Provide Papers/Poor Health
This breeder seems nice, but despite the written contract, fails to provide papers and/or register the puppies with the AKC, as she agreed to do. Sadly, I have given up, as my dog died one night last month. Given that the dog is sold as a purebred for several thousand dollars, I would steer clear of this breeder since she ultimately stops returning telephone calls. All I wanted was my dog's papers...

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...

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...

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.

This Dave Pierce has blackmailed me by posting this complaint and trying to extort money from me by saying he would amend the complaint if I paid him. This is illegal and immoral. He signed a contract that clearly stated that I do not pay vet bills and was aware that certain conditions exist when you purchase a puppy and take it from everything it know...

Our family has had dogs for close to 30 years while we brought up our 3 children and two grandchildren. In the fall of 2012 our last Westie died. Our Scottie the year before, both of old age. It took us a couple of years to get up the courage to consider adopting another dog. We came across Angels of Scotland on the web. I contacted the lady who said that...
