Knowingly Sells Unhealthy Dogs

I bought 6 adult english bulldogs, under contract from Vernetta/Geary Cockrum; Nov. 2010. We showed up at her property to find over 100 dogs in cages. She claimed the dogs were in great health and free of genetic flaws. Upon arriving home with the dogs, we started seeing the medical issues these dogs had, we immediately took then to the vet.

1 female adult, 3 yrs old; diagnosed with elongated palette, entropian (eyelashes rolling in towards the eye, causing irritation/blindness). 1 female adult, 3 yrs old; diagnosed with pus in her uterus (pyometra), entropian in both eyes. 1 female adult, 3 yrs old; diagnosed with entropian so bad she is 90% blind, chronic ear infections leading to ping pong ball size scar tissue in both ear rendering her deaf, skin allergies needing constant meds and bathed every 3 days, bleeding from all the scratching, lethargic due to pain. 1 adult male, 4 yrs old; diagnosed with high blood pressure, semen tainted with blood, heart issues leading to death june.

I have found several people who bought puppies out of these adults that are now seeking recourse, due to puppies that have extreme genetic issues, needing surgery. She bred these dogs under a yr. Old, which is unethical. As bulldogs aren't matured out enough physically until they are almost 2 yrs. We have also found out that she had been selling puppies to brokers without a USDA license, which is illegal. Her veterinarian tells her these puppies have problems, and she still sells them to the innocent families.

We have contacted and filed complaints with all the right agencies, proceeding in stopping this woman from further destruction of these animals.-Attorney Generals office-USDA-BBB of Sw. Mo-Mo. Dept of Agriculture-Animal activists of Mo-United States Humane Society-AKC

When I contacted Vernetta about the health of these dogs, she replied saying, "I sold you good breeding dogs, with good uteruses". We have spoken to an attorney. And have all veterinary records regarding these dogs. Several vets have issued statements, saying these did are in the worst condition they have ever seem, health wise. There is recourse for these animals. They will have their day in court.
