This breeder does not provide any medical care for the puppies before selling them. She continually breeds female dogs with well known hereditary medical problems - inguinal hernias. Within 2 days of getting the dog, took to the vet and the vet said this dog had no prior care and the hernia was so bad the dog needed to be operated on at 10 weeks old. $800...

I bought a female puppy from Judy approximately 6 months ago. She claimed the puppy was 8 months old. The puppy looked nothing like any of the photos on her facebook page or her website. She photoshopped the photos of my dog. (Dog was much bigger, coat was not of a purebred yorkie, and looked very mixed breed.) My vet confirmed my puppy was not 8 month...

We recently purchased a puppy from Gentle Giants and noticed the day that we got him, he was skinny. We did everything we could to get weight on him. We took him to the vet and she checked his hips and there was pain. For a 9 week old puppy there should not be pain. I contacted Angela and she wanted me to bring the puppy back so she could take it to her...
Jo Watters pups - unhealthy dogs
Jo Watters is a dog breeder that breeds too many dogs and too many breeds at one time. She is a nice lady and very delightful to talk to but when asked about health testing or any background on the puppies and their heritage she is very vague. She does NOT do health testing. Sites that she posts her puppies on have multiple breeds from her at one time...

Via e-mail she showed me a picture of a female yorkie that was at least 6 months olds. She told me the dog was 14 weeks old when she was born on 8/25/2012. This was on February 11, 2013. They told us she was just shy. She was raised in a puppy mill and had never spent any time with humans. I felt so sorry for the dog I took her. She will never have any...

On October 20th, 2012 we purchased a English Bulldog Puppy from Sumo Bulldogs. I know this breed well and searched extensively for the right breeder. I have in the past purchased animals online and I would only buy from a American Kennel Club affiliated firm. This puppy was a gift for two of my closest friends having just recently lost their dog to cancer...

She's back! Heads up y'all!

We paid for ($1400.) and had a puppy shipped($450.) to us only to find out she has a heart murmur. She was supposed to be breedable. Our vet said it is genetic and she should not be bred. They admitted they had dealt with heart murmurs with other puppies, so are aware their bloodlines are flawed. After having her for 2 months now Alexanders want us to pay...

I'm really saddened that I have to post something like this about my puppy. I received my puppy from Yorkie Love Affair Breeders/Maria Calverley about ten months ago.

Karie, the breeder at Treasured Goldens, is not to be trusted. In our dealings, she assured me over and over again that if anything wasn't to my satisfaction, she would refund my deposit on a golden retriever puppy from her without any issues. When the dog I wanted puppies from hadn't given birth 2 WEEKS after her due date, Karie told me that she wa...
