Beware of sending your Dogs to these Dog Handlers in Atchison Kansas owned by Billi Lawrence and Nancy Haugsness AKC Obie's Chinese Cresteds. I was referred to these Handlers by another Chinese Crested Breeder. We all met up at the South Dakota Dog show the last week of October.
I took two of my dogs for them to evaluate and at the end of the show they took my Dogs home with them to start training for the show ring. After 3 weeks they called me to inform me they did not like my male Shooter because he was too small but thought he was perfect for the three days they were with him at the dog show.
When he arrived home he was emaciated and covered with Staph blisters along with being filthy and covered in urine and feces. I immediately contacted Nancy and Billi as to the condition of my dog and demanded photos of my other dog in their care. They said I should be getting a show win photo of my other boy Bandit since he had won a Major. The photo arrived and he was a bag of bones in the photo.
Along this same time some other Crested breeders were demanding photos of their dogs that were also in Billi and Nancy's care to be trained and shown. When one breeder owner of Baldpark and another owner of Trinity Chinese Cresteds received their dogs back their condition was horrible. They were emaciated and covered with Staph and sick to the point of almost death.
Mean while I was doing every thing I could to get my Bandit home. They delayed me several times with one excuse after another and when he finally arrived he was half frozen thin and filthy. They sent home to me in the dead of winter to South Dakota with out bedding or clothing. They abused my dogs and stole my money to do it so do not let another dog suffer as mine have at Obies.
