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...

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.
