I contacted Jerome Podell to purchase a Havanese puppy for show and breeding. He sold me a dog that is very ill. She has a condition called chondrodysplasia. At the time of sale, he stated she has a bit of a crooked leg, but it should straighten out as she grows. He's been a breeder for many years, so he was aware this condition only worsens. He was well aware of her condition. This is interstate, internet fraud. I've been told by my vet this condition will only worsen and there's a strong change she'll go lame. The surgery to avoid her becoming lame will cost me 2300.00. My consultation appointments along with xrays have already cost me over 800.00 with 2 surgeons, both suggesting surgery. I paid Jerome 2850.00 for this dog. I contacted him and his response was he had no money to pay me for this dog so I couldn't send her back for a refund. He's offered to refund me while he sells more dogs with a non-disclosure statement, but no contract was sent and no monies refunded. It's been a month since he's stated he would refund me. I've been in contact with others who have had health issues with puppies bought from Jerome. If you have bought a puppy from Jerome Podell with health issues, please contact me. I'd like to file a law suit.

Jerome Podell took £1300 off Lynda Read, she loaned the money from me (I never received it back) for a puppy he kept the money and never sent her a dog THAT IS how some Havanese breeders steal from you same in UK, one UK Havanese and Coton breeder who clearly has imported and used over 20 dogs in just a few years has also stolen in excess of 6 havanese and cotons and then bred from them.
THIEVES most that support this are similar in ethics!
