We purchased a puppy through Cowtown Minis on May 13th of 2015 and a month in a half later he began to get very sick. We repeatedly took our puppy to the vet for treatment.

Ā I have been searching for a puppy for quite sometime, I selected the breed I wanted, Boston Terrier, and did my research on local breeders. I found what seemed to be a "reputable breeder" by the name of Kristin Ryan aka SurrySide Puppies out of Gloucester MA. It was evident that her puppies go very quickly so when I saw a pup I was interested in, I put...

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...

I purchased a puppy from Legend Dogos back in January 2009 for $3, 000. The papers they sent me were bogus since supposedly this was a show quality dog from champions. My beautiful Ace has suffered tremendously from their poor breeding practices. At the age of 1 1/2 Ace tore his ACL cost us $6, 000. Then at the age of 3 he started suffering stomach problem...

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.

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.
