These are the same breeders that shipped out parvo infected and parasitized boston terrier puppies and terminated all contact with new owners in the past two years. Three separate complaints have been filed about them last year by 3 different owners of boston terriers from Cypress Farm Kennel. They can no longer advertise under their own name or kennel name on Puppyfind due to the amount of evidence provided to that company concerning their unethical business practices. I have provided public proof of my vet records that show they LIE on their FAQ page about not receiving positive parvo results within 48 hrs of receipt of CFK puppies. This is one of many lies that they choose not to edit on their website about what REALLY happened when they shipped out parvo puppies last year. Until a few days ago, they were marketing standard and colored French Bulldog puppies (up to $7, 000) under the name "thefrenchbulldogmom." They have bred females under one year of age, have produced at least 4 litters already this year, and would not provide any information as to who "thefrenchbulldogmom" was other than saying on the website they will give you a contact number after receiving an email - prior to being exposed this week. It appears that they then scrambled to merge the 2 websites, and continue to attempt "damage control" through internet fraud and deceit of the unsuspecting public.

There was already another (4th) complaint filed against them earlier this year -specifically "thefrenchbulldogmom" for selling sick dogs. I strongly encourage everyone who has had legitimate bad experiences with Linda and Krystin Johansen, whether as Cypress Farm Kennel, "thefrenchbulldogmom" or Cypress' French Connection to report them to the ASPCA suggested Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3) as well as the Better Business Bureau - links on the bottom of this page:

COMPLAINT AGAINST "French Bulldog Mom" aka Linda Johansen:


Complaints against Krystin and Linda Johansen of Cypress Farm Kennel submitted by 3 separate boston terrier owners last year:
Cypress Farm Kennel Colored Boston Terriers — CFK ships parvovirus and parasitized sick puppies

Cypress Farm Kennel (Colored Boston Terriers) — Sold me a sick dog

Cypress farm kennel — Purchased a sick puppy

I was not aware that the Johansen's were even breeding French Bulldogs until this week. Why would they feel so compelled to hide their identity until they were once again exposed? Again, I am not a breeder. My one surviving boston terrier from CFK has been fixed, as have the other surviving sick dogs that were shipped to new families who have posted and filed complaints.

On this board I post under "CFK Parvo Puppy Owner" - there is plenty of interesting info to be found about Cypress Farm Kennel / the Johansen's here as well that you will not see on the "colored boston terrier message board" - and you can see that I did not know they were breeding Frenchies until this week. I would not have purchased dogs from these people if I could have found any warnings about them, I do not want other families to make the same mistake that I did in trying to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder and not a puppy mill or online scam. Even if you choose to buy a puppy out of state by a breeder, ALWAYS fly there yourself to pick up the puppy and do not have your puppies shipped. They NEVER have full immunity to parvovirus until after ALL of their puppy vaccinations are complete when around 4 months old. No matter how many cute pictures and videos someone posts on the internet, you have no idea what you are getting until you see it in person. I got full blown parvovirus, and breeders who cut off all contact when I demanded that they reimburse me in order to hospitalize both puppies, and to notify the airlines and other families whose puppies had not yet been shipped.

So many companies do that--construction, almost anything on the Internet that doesn't care about "the brand" name. I guess we all need to do our homework. I have been taken by an Internet company selling clothing, and household items. I failed to google their comments. Shame on me-now out of enough money to learn my lesson. Also learn from "friends" that borrow money---man was I Naive'!

Mistreateating animals is one of the worst, most unforgivavle acts that I can think of, besides the mistreatment of children. I pray someone shuts down this Co. that you are talking about--anything to make a buck...these pups have suffered horribly. Enough said.
