We bought a 3 month old Mini English Bulldog puppy (by the way, the title "miniature english bulldog" is a total lie - our puppy is already 65lbs!) from this website in December 07. Right off the bat - we were guaranteed he would come w / AKC registration papers, and he did not. We called, and he promised they were on their way to us, and they never came. Then he stopped answering my phone calls and emails.
Then 8 weeks later, my very young dog began having terrible seizures. I called the breeder in tears, asking if he could please give us some additional health history on the puppy and/or parents to help the vet determine what was causing the life-threatening seizures. He ignored multiple please for help, never called back or emailed. We just wanted information to help save our dog's life, and he wouldn't even call us back. After he had our money, he could care less.
I also wanted to report the problem to him so he would stop breeding those dogs, as our dog's neurologist team (yes, it was that severe) said the case was so bad, that it was most likely that 1 or both of his parents had epilepsy. Basically, all experts told us there was no way he didn't know that the dogs he was breeding were epileptic. I wanted to let him know about our dog, too, but he woudn't even take our phone call.
Since March 08, we've had Porkchop to the ER vet 4 times to stop cluster seizures that have almost killed him, and we are out over $8000 in vet bills - which could have been prevented if we had known he had epilepsy. Not only are we out the money, but our hearts break everytime we watch him cluster and almost die.
We want people to be aware of this breeder so they don't have to go through this heartbreak, and so he stops breeding & selling sick dogs to good people. We would also like to be reimbursed for our vet bills, as they could have been prevented had he just told us about the problem upfront - we could have had him on meds from day 1 to stop the seizures. Now, it will take another few months to even get him stable.
We've just now read similar reports about this breeder - other people have purchased epileptic dogs from them, as well, and have also reported it to them! They don't care, and continue to breed these poor sick dogs! Do not buy from them, you will be heartbroken. We are filing a law suit against them - anyone interested in starting a class-action suit, please contact us right away! Please help us stop them!!
