Elite Basset Hounds reviews and complaints

We purchased a Miniature Bassett and it took over 3 years to finally get her. When we received her in 2018, she was over 20 weeks old, filthy, and was not potty trained as stated. She still flinches when you reach over her head and she is a pseudohermaphrodite with a leakage problems that requires certain medicine every day. When we asked the Kennel if the Vet found a bony structure in her female anatomy during her examinations or when she was fixed, it was reported that she does not have a bony structure. They are wrong. Additionally, she has Addison's disease which requires us to give her a shot every 28 days to keep her alive (Medications and shot is approximately $200.00 per month not including Vet cost). One of her eyelids folds inward which allows her to get eye buggies. All of these health issues were reported by several veterinarians in our area as genetic defects which is a breach of the kennels contract. I understand that certain health conditions can form; however, these conditions our Bassett is experiencing is a bloodline and breeding issue. We love our Bassett but she is definitely not miniature. We had her at the vet today and she weighs 71 lbs.

We have experienced all of the same experiences as the remaining people on this complaint board and were also placed under review. When we contacted Elite Bassets to let them know that they had Addisons Disease in the bloodline, they denied it and reported that they would see what they could do to help us under the warranty. Needless to say, that was the last conversation we had, they have never attempted to contact us since, and we could not get back in touch with them. We are also interested in assisting all that were scammed and joining the suit if possible.
