And look...they are adding livers soon...how special. AKC won't do anything as long as they haven't broken and AKC rules...if the puppies aren't even being registered, they won't step in. There are going to be people breeding off colors, oversized dogs, etc. etc., and saying anything they want on line. The only defense is an educated consumer. People breeding dogs that don't match ANY breeds' standard should be a great big red flag. Shame for the puppy....

They sold a puppy to someone that I know for $900.00.......she was promised the papers. The dog was throwing up when she met them to get the puppy. They told her that it was from car sickness............he has a severe case of megaesphagus. When she asked about his papers she was told that they have to get the parents registered first......I told her they are not going to do that.....do you have any idea how much money that will cost. If you look at their website they look reputable except that they breed some off colors that I could see. Another woman went there to look at 14 week old puppies. when she got there she was shown 6 week old puppies. she said that she wanted to look at the older puppies and she was told to get the hell off of their property....WTF......these people should not be breeding dogs and need to be shut down. they are no better than a puppy mill!!!! If there anyone near this town who could call them....make an appointment to see the puppies and check them out.............and maybe report what you see to the AKC......they need to be stopped NOW!!!
