On Saturday, September 20th, I met "Dee" (or Lovadee or Deanne or DeeAnn) Patton (or Cobbin) at Houston's International Airport. She brought a small male maltipoo puppy with her that I purchased and flew home with. Since it was the weekend, I took the puppy the following Tuesday to my vet for a second round of vaccinations. The puppy became very ill by the next day, and finally died of complications of SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which is presumed to be an inherited disorder in both humans and dogs. The puppy was in a lot of pain and died violently and suddenly with severe convulsions.
At first, Ann was sympathetic - she promised me another puppy and admitted that it sounded like the puppy's death was due to a genetic defect. I told her what my vet had diagnosed and she therefore knew I had documentation the very day the puppy died. She promised again, the day after the puppy died, to replace the puppy. The puppy had been a gift to my son who is allergic to a lot of animals - we have one maltipoo already, purchased from another breeder who is now retired. So we have dealt with breeders before.
Now neither Ann or her supposed husband Everett will return my calls. The second contact number they gave me also goes unanswered (listed as the fax above). Both of their Cell phones are listed as being with Cricket and a reverse look up indicates that they are in Houston. After researching other negative commentaries on the internet regarding Big Block Kennels it would appear we are not the first victims.

The zip code should be 77071 for that area and the phone listed for the address 713-728-5625 has been disconnected.
I have a heartbroken kid right now and will be contacting the Texas authorities shortly unless my calls are answered.
