reviews and complaints

This woman has bad breeding practices and is not responsibly breeding australian shepherds. It's very clear when you visit her facility that she has too many dogs and animals. The biggest concern is her breeding of double merles, which results in deaf and blind puppies. She does this in order to get more merle puppies, which sell for more. This is extremely frowned upon and is very problematic. Attached is an example of one of her posts trying to sell a double merle puppy, which as she states suffers from hearing issues. The puppy is right next to another white aussie puppy (another sign of double merles).

My sister bought a puppy from this woman and it came with tape worm, round worm, fleas, and giardia. They noticed right away he wasn't walking right. At his 8 month neuter the vet took x-rays and found severe hip dysphasia. Sent them to an ortho specialist who said his hips are so bad that he needs total hip replacements and that it is due to bad breeding! A $16, 000 surgery for a 8 month old puppy that she paid $1, 400 for. This woman is not breeding properly and only cares about money. No reputable breeder would be breeding so irresponsibly. These severity of dysplasia in my sisters dog has been causing him unbearable pain since he was able to walk. That's just animal cruelty.

Where do I begin. Whoever is buying dogs from this lady are not doing their homework. The 6 acre "farm" is nothing but 6 acres of craziness. I grew up on a farm. I'm not afraid of dirt. This place was inexcusably filthy! Dogs everywhere. Tons and tons of dogs. The dogs do not have papers. She claims for $500 you can buy the papers. But also claims it's expensive to register litters. When it isn't and when you are claiming to sell "top of the line" I expect papers. There's no way she knows if her dogs are inbreed. There are so many dogs and running around in sloppy built fences covered in mud. I felt a tick on the puppy I held and she excused it as a scab from puppy playing. She was asking high prices for dogs without papers. And who's parents were no championship line. I think she needs to be shut down or made to downsize or clean up or all of the above.
