Save yoursself the heartache and headache. Please buy elsewhere unless you want a breeder that doesn't stand behind the health of their puppies!!!!! Too many GOOD breeders out there that will stand behind their dogs not just give you the run around and try and find any & every excuse to get out of the Contract!!! I bought a puppy from them and the dog was completely lame @ 19 months from elbow dysplasia, he had a Fractured Coronoid Process (FCP) which is 100% genetic. Cost Over $4k in vet bills to diagnose & treat. Breeder blamed me said I caused a genetic disorder. They will act concerned about the dog, they aren't they are only Concerned with making money which is evident because they initially told me they would replace if I gave them $1k because now they sell th for twice what they were when I bought Mine. Real concerned right!! After I told them what he had they NEVER asked how he was, great people right!!!! I can't stress enough these people will not stand behind their dogs and they are still breeding the dogs that produced my dog!!! What does that tell you, they only care about making money!!!!! I can prove everything I said here just contact me because if you ask them about this they will tell you they tried to accommodate me, which they didn't according to our contract!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! There are WAY TOO MANY GOOD BREEDERS that do stand behind their dogs if you want to know any. Contact me.

There are several inaccuracies and omissions in this report. She bought the puppy in October 2008. My contract at that time did not cover elbows. First I'd like to say that she refused to sign the contract. There is no signed contract on file even though there are signed contracts from the other people who got puppies from the same litter.

A year and a half ago I revised the contract to cover elbows. November of 2010, after the contract had been revised, this woman contacted me and told me how great the dog was doing after she had left elbow surgery 8 months prior. She said the right side elbow was worse but that he was doing super and "he was worth every penny she ever spent on him". She wanted to know if I was ever going to cover elbows in my contract. My contract by then had been revised to cover elbows. She went on to tell me how good the dog was doing in his training at club and, as soon as she got him under control, the trainers would let her start him in protection training.They said "he was going to be awesome" She asked if I had an older puppy that I would make a deal with her on so that she could train in Mondio Ring. I had a 12 week old female I had started in training, and sent her pictures. I told her that I would give this female to her to compensate the problem with her dog's elbow even though the contract at the time she bought her puppy did not cover elbows. She said that she wasn't taking a four month old puppy ( her interpretation of the age) to replace one that was only 8 weeks old when she bought it. She wanted one of the exact bloodlines as the one that she had. I did not have a puppy for her so I told her when I had one available I would let her know.

She then demanded that I breed a certain pair of dogs and have an 8 week old sable male puppy available within 6 months or she would take me to court and would smear me everywhere on the internet that she could find. I offered her a FULL refund and she could buy her replacement puppy so she could get her own replacement and on her designated timeline. She declined that offer and reiterated that she wanted a puppy from a certain female within 6 months "or else". I contacted a lawyer who advised me to have the woman call me and make arrangements to deliver the dog and I would hand her a full refund check.
I have been harassed continuiously for over a year but she would not accept any offer to compensate her. Mind you this was all on a contract that didn't even cover elbows.

It has been over a year since I made any breedings. When I did breed a pair recently, I contacted this woman again, trying to satisfy her. During this year she has said on numerous occasions that the dog's right side elbow ( left elbow had been operated on) was so bad the dog could barely walk. My revised contract, which I am willing to apply to her case, requires OFA rating of the elbow before replacement can be made. This woman has flatly refused to not only get Xrays of the right elbow but won't even address the problem that she stated in the past is crippling the dog. The revised contract does not cover replacement after surgery because the surgery would modify the results from OFA. I am willing to give her a puppy but she flatly refuses to provide OFA rating of what she has termed "crippling ED" in the right side elbow.

Instead of getting OFA verification she has chosen to smear me all over the internet. I have offered her a replacement or a full refund many times in the last year, which she has flatly declined, because she is demanding a puppy of the same or very similar breeding to the one she has or else she is going to smear me all over the internet. I'm willing to provide her a replacement puppy but she has to also abide by the contract and proivde OFA verification that the right side elbow is affected.
