Hello, my name is Lisa Wilson proud hobby breeder of healthy, happy, AKC Pomeranians. We strive for excellence first
and formost in health, soundenss, temperment and type. We recently have been trying to aquire some better quality dogs
with better quality pedigrees for our breeding program, I should have stuck with what I had.......Here is my story for 07............
: 0((
This does not include the rip offs that have happend to me previously!
This is just 07!
I have recently come across a couple of serious problems while purchasing puppies for my kennel. I have purchased 3 puppies
and out of those three one was very healthy and exaclty what he was represented to be. The other two I was not so lucky with,
one was just not what he was represented to be and the other was very ill. He came with PARVO!
Sarge, the black and tan, came to us and fell gravely ill with parvo after 72 hours of arriving here. I got him
off the plane at 11:45 P.M. and did not arrive home untill almost 1:00 A.M. due to the drive from the airport. We (my 13 year
old son and I who waited up for me because we were so excited) noticed that he stunk terribly like a filthy dog kennel
(you know the kind) so we quarrantined him immediately upon his arrival. By Saturday night he was lethargic and not himself,
and had thrown up at least once that I had seen. I attributed this to his shy personality and thought he might be over wrought
from a long plane ride and exhaustion. This was not the case........Sunday morning he was thorwing up violently, would not
eat or drink and had a fever, terrible mucousy foul stools. He was hospitalized immediately becuase we knew something
was terribly wrong. Of course just being here in my home with a severe communicable disease such as PARVO was bad
and I knew this was going to be the tip of the iceberg!
Yes it was just the tip, all in all we had 9 dogs get ill, we lost 4 of our beloved dogs that were born here and were
healthy untill sarge came.
They babies we lost were not just our dogs but our fur kids, and one was the last of my foundation line. We now have
a $2,200.00 vet bill that may keep climbing! This is not including the cost of cleaning supplies, beds, food and toys
that were contaminated that I have had to throw away! Not to mention, there is no monitary amount that will ever bring my babies
back!
I may not be so angry if this breeder had not admitted to me and asked me for help when she also had 2 dogs become ill
and die at her home from the same illness. I tried to help her thru it all and consoled her when she lost her dogs and now
she won't even speak to me. She knows the dog came to me ill, and will do NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS! To me that's dispicable!
You would not think to quarrantine a dog from a supposed reputable breeder but I am telling you DO IT! I don't care how
healthy the puppy appears when you get it, DO IT!
Sarge was a bit strange and he was stinky but he was eating and playing untill Saturday night, who could have possibly
predicted he was carrying a deadly virus! I couldn't tell! The snowball effect in my kennel was horriffic.
I never in my wildest dreams thought that this supposed breeder would send me a filthy much less sick dog, but it
happened! It can happen to you too!
His quality is OK and pedigree are OK for that I am not complaining but he was sick with a communicable virus, and it
devastated my kennel and our lives.
Now I am mad and fighting back at breeders who treat dogs and people as if they were disposbale. I am not here to whine;
just to warn. If you love your dogs, use caution...... be over cautious! If you don't, the results could be disasterous!
MY DOGS ARE NOT DISPOSABLE! ARE YOURS? NO DOGS ARE DISPOSABLE FOR THAT MATTER! THEY ARE LIVING BEINGS THAT ARE
NOT A COMMODITY TO BE SLOUGHED OFF WHEN THEY ARE ILL OR TURN OUT AS PETS. BIG BREEDERS GET EXORBANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND LIE
TO SELL THIER DOGS TO UNSUSPECTING TRUSTING PEOPLE, JUST EXPECT US TO EAT IT AND FIND THE DOGS HOMES EVEN IF THEY ARE ILL
OR TURN OUT POOR QUALITY OR UNBREEDEABLE. WE COUNT AND THE DOGS COUNT, IT'S TIME TO GET MAD AND FIGHT BACK!
NEITHER OF THESE BREEDERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION! ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
It is time that these and other breeders who have ripped people off to be held
accountable! Thus I am trying to organize a breeders organization who will speak out and warn others who are doing
these terrible things so it will not happen again......I don't care how nice your dogs are or how many champions are in your
dogs pedigree, or how many you have produced, you do not have the right to rip people off! You do not have the right to send
sick, less than the quality represented or crippled dogs to trusting people and then blow them off after they have
paid thousands in vet bills for a sick dog or a dog you have represented as show dogs that you claim just "Didn't
turn out." ! If you sell a dog as a show dog it should be a show dog or you should refund thier money or replace the dog!
ENOUGH!
If you want more info on who these breeders are, or have info to add please contact Lisa Wilson at
toyboxpoms1@aol.com
Please keep messages short sweet and to the point, if you have a legitimate story like mine and
proof that your dog was sent to you ill or sold as a show dog and it did not turn out send us a picture I will post it to
my web site for you.
I don't want whiners, but serious people who have been wronged and need help! People who have been
sold pet dogs with serious conditions count too! There are puppy lemon laws in many states that can help you legal action
against crooked breeders. Get info on your states puppy lemon laws BEFORE you buy a puppy from that state!
