Beware of Obie's Chinese Cresteds owned by Billi Lawrence and her Mother, Nancy Haugsness. These two women claim to be reputable AKC Dog Handlers but are far from anything reputable, honest or decent.
I sent 5 of my Dogs as puppies to be trained, handled and shown to these Monsters located in Atchison, Kansas. I can not begin to describe to anyone what happened to my Dogs while in their care.
Billi and Nancy took thousands of dollars of my money to train/handle and show my Dogs in the AKC Conformation Ring. I became suspicious of how my Dogs were being treated when I received a show win photo of one of my friends Dogs that had also been sent to Billi and Nancy of Obie's that showed him to be severely emaciated.
I then started asking for photos of my Dogs. After being told I would receive some photos the next day several times and never receiving photos I began to demand photos. This made Billi Lawrence angry. She informed me that it was not customary for a Handler to send photos of their clients Dogs unless it was a show win photo from the Dog Show.
I then asked several Handlers along with an AKC Judge whom assured me that was a lie. They also told me they would be very concerned about the condition of my Dogs if some one was not willing to snap a photo of them and send it to me by E-mail.
Billi Lawrence then broke our contract (THANK GOD) and sent my Dogs home. My boy Bones had been in their care for 7 months so I got him back first. He arrived home the 20th of January. He was shipped from Billi Lawrence out of Kansas at 12:56 PM where the temperature was 21 degrees and arrived in Birmingham, Al. At 7:00 PM where the temperature was 31 degrees and windy.
He arrived with out a sweater, shirt, blanket or bedding frozen to death, starved and covered in urine and feces. I know He had not used the bathroom in his crate. He is a hairless Dog and was Honest to God so frozen he could not even move let alone pee in his crate.
It was clear he had not been bathed or fed in quite a while. He is still scared to death of women and is only a shell of the wonderful puppy I sent to these Monsters at 5 months of age.
Then I received my other 2 puppies back, Capone and Allura both Hairless. They went to Billi and Nancy at 4 months of age and arrived back home at 8 and 9 months of age. I was scared to death of what shape they would be in after seeing Bones when he returned. I must tell you that in my worst Nightmare I could not of predicted what I saw when I opened the door of their little crate at the airport.
Capone my Male was skinny and nasty with his socks, crest, mane and tail matted with urine and feces, Both his eyes were matted shut with from an eye infection and he could not breath from the green snot running from both nostrils.
Allura my beautiful female hairless was not even recognizable. She was so emaciated that she looked like a skeleton. She was covered from head to toes with Blisters filled with pus. She also stunk from her socks, crest, mane and tail being matted with feces and urine.
I took them both to my vet the next morning 1/29 at 8:00 AM. My vet Dr. Roberts did blood work and told me that Allura's Blisters that she was covered in was the worst case of Staph he had ever seen. He contacted the Dermatology Vet and faxed him photos whom also had never seen a Staph infection this severe in all of his years as a Vet.
Both Vest agreed that this poor Dog would of had to be submerged in a sewer up to her neck 24 hours a day for the 4 months she was gone in order for this Staph infection to be this severe. Allura was in fact emaciated with both ears infected from Yeast and all four pads of her feet were infected from fungus caused from walking in feces.
Capone was thin and had lost all muscle mass due to starvation along with lack of nutrition and exercise. Both his ears were infected with Yeast along with a fungus infection on all four of his pads also. Capone had a severe sinus infection that had also spread to his lungs that would of progressed to Pneumonia if left untreated for one week longer.
Dr. Roberts gave both Dogs antibiotic and steroid shots along with Antibiotic medication to be given orally for 6 months. I was also instructed that Allura would have to be bathed in a medicated shampoo every day for 6 months.
Capone would have to have his nose suctioned out every 30 minuets for 4 days and be kept under a Vaporizer for 30 days minimum for one month. I have all vet documentation to prove every word I have written here along with detailed photos from my Vet and myself should anyone like to see them.
Please visit my web site at...
Baldparkchinesecresteds.com and contact me by email from my web site and I will send you the vet reports along with the photos. Please be advised these photos are really hard to look at and will rip the heart out of your chest and make even the toughest person cry tears of sadness.
You can also contact my friend Teresa Blackwood of Woodcrest Chinese Cresteds about her Dog, Atticus that was sent to Billi and Nancy of Obie's to be trained, handled and shown the same time as my boy Bones as to the condition he was returned home in. Atticus was covered in Staph and also emaciated.
I still have one Powder Puff puppy with these Monsters that I gave them as a token of my gratitude for the care I thought they were providing my Dogs.
Her name is Bonzi and she was born 8/31 and has already suffered a broken leg and I don't know the details but can only imagine how it happened and the condition she is in today.
They will not give her back to me and I am consumed with worry about how she is being treated. You can see a picture of my Beautiful sweet little Bonzi on Obie's web site on the Hopefuls page at... Www.obies. Homestead.com
I am in the process of having a photo of my once Beautiful Allura removed from that same page on their web site. How those two Monsters can keep her picture on their web site after what they did to her is criminal.
They stole her life away from her. She was a show quality gorgeous example of the breed standard and today she looks like a horrible scard Monster. She will never be able to have a home of her own because no one will want her because of how she looks from what she suffered at the hands of Nancy Haugsness and Billi Lawrence.
Please contact me to read and see the reports and photos I have. Please tell everyone you know about what these horrible people have done so that another Dog will not suffer in their hands as mine have.
