We did not do our homework. If we had, we would have found all of the negative publicity on french puppies.com and Wendy Laymon, Faith Laymon, Faith Steffensmeier, etc. We purchased a puppy from this woman 6 mos. Ago. After 3 vets (two who are french bulldog specialists), the puppy has a collapsing or too small trachea. Upon verifying this through much delay this breeder has done nothing.
We didn't even know a Wendy/Faith Laymon. We made our check payable to Faith Steffensmeier. When the AKC papers arrived in the mail guess who was listed as the breeder? YES, Wendy Laymon. Shes been in jail, moved from state to state, been investigated by the humane society, the AG, and the BBB. How is she still allowed to get away with this unethical, immoral sale of puppies?
She's lucky this did not happen in NY because the laws are quite different. It's easy to get caught in a sale with her because she sounds reasonable and fair. She also quotes scripture which makes her seem even more ethical/moral. ("remember, God is good") She should read some of her own quotes. She is willing to do nothing for us even after having us fax vet reports and all other time delay BS. We have spent over $3000 and may incur more debt over time. That's if the puppy lives a full life. She hacks and gags up white frothy saliva 5x daily, and is exhausted after even a short run.
She pretends to care but when it comes to action she hides behind her contract or just counts on the fact that most people can't or won't pursue her legally. We are going to try. This is the 50th story I have read like this about her. We were actually being reasonable but she would not even call back. When people pay this kind of money for a quality puppy, this should not happen. When we told her this she said: "walking across the street is no guarantee you won't be hit". This is the intellect we are dealing with.
