Stay away from this breeder!

[Helena54]

I'm flaberghasted reading that!!!

Have you actually parted with the £900 then, or has she handed it all back to you less the £150??? I don't quite understand? Surely you haven't GOT the puppy have you? I would have thought that NO money changes hands until you take the puppy, only a small deposit, unless of course that's what you mean, the £150 she kept? Oh this is outrageous to say the least.

Good on you for naming and shaming this woman though and if I were you I'd put her name on every dog site going!!!!

can you pm me this breeders details and affix

I know, and we were so disappointed. she was such a rude woman as well... very abrupt, very unnecessary.

I gave her £150 deposit for the dog on the first visit, and was to give her the rest on collection at 8 weeks. Because I was so shocked at the state of him I refused to take him home... I was really frightened that I couldnt look after him properly, I figured we'd have him about a week and he'd probably give up on life Plus there was the fact that I wanted him to get on with my other pug, and quite frankly I was scared Stevie would crush him!!

I bought my dog from the same kennels, when we went to collect him at 10wks (I had been out of the country for 2 weeks) he still hadn't had his first innoculations due to being on antibiotics for a hurt paw. Maureen had no idea what had happened to him and we took him away still with some pills to give him. We knew our dog would be small, he was the smallest in the litter, however, he hasn't put on any weight in the last 2 months and has largely lost his appetite and developed a rather delicate bottom. Our vet has found nothing untoward yet and has really only suggested "Science Diet", she stopped that when I asked how long she had spent on canine nutrition at vet school and who had sponsored the session!

see... i know for a fact that this woman has won shows with some of her rottweilers, so how is it that she can sell puppies like this? I honestly dont think she pays any attention to her puppies, she allows bullying to occur and the dogs to be injured. The puppy I went to collect had scabs on it where it had been attacked and she almost thought it was FUNNY that it had happened! she wasnt apologetic at all and sure as damnit didnt give much of a t*ss about the puppy

she is clearly in a rush to get rid of them and get the cash, any other breeder would keep hold of the puppy until they were back at full health, and THEN let them go to a new home.

i really hope your pup is okay, please let us know

im shocked the breeder didnt know what happend to his paw, can I ask what the injury looked like,,, eg another pup had taken a bite at him, or more like trodden on, or more like a problem with the claw.........sorry for being so nosey,

I hope things improve with him soon, there is a rumour that some male rotties are fussy eaters, but I havent found that to be true of my lot,,
runny bum is not something I ever have a problem with in my lot either, they have cast iron guts,,

There was nothing to see really, his paw was slightly swollen and a little tender, I finished the course of pills with him and within a week he was fine. I used a cage for him initially so restricting his movement wasn't too difficult and he seemed to recover fully.

The eating issue is worrying, he has always been fed raw and was ok with most meat, a little funny with beef and unable to keep offal down unless cooked. His diet was mainly minced chicken, chicken backs & wings, however, he seems to have largely gone off chicken & lamb and now only seems to enjoy tripe. A couple of months back he would spend all afternoon working a recreational bone, now he isn't interested. I tried him on some JWB kibble for a few days last week and he seemed to like that, perhaps I should give up on the raw for now.

you could try giving him dry and raw... if you know what I mean. I dont know anything about raw.. but poss he may put a bit more weight on with some dry food given as a top up with the raw.
that said you would have to get him eating for first.
Have you checked his mouth.. some young dogs go through a bit of a sore mouth stage about 8ish months.. but to be honest it shouldnt last that long or really put them off there food.

ETA: I hope she hadnt trodden on his paw damaging it.
