Buyers beware Kijiji Vancouver and Victoria are helping this con artist sell his mini golden doodles puppies that are not mini's. Report any ads from this seller as they are false.
Jamie is breeding a moyen small standard poodle to his standard retrievers. Misleading buyers and charging mini prices. These puppies are not mini's but standards. Mini's are from Miniature poodles. Web site pictures confirm puppies are the same size as his standard puppies. Jamie is aware of this, but refuses to change his wording as he has admitted mini's sell faster and for more money.
I sure wish we had seen this web site before we ever agreed to buy one of his puppies. Jamie's continued attempts to divert attention away from the truth are not working. I have seen the pages of law suits against Jamie Sheppard of Roberts Creek now. I realize now he has lied to us right from teh beginning, that he only wanted to sell a puppy and didn't care about us or his dogs. We will be also filing a law suit against him for his false advertising and ripping us off. We are considering a class action law suit for others that he has done this to. Please contact us here for your info.
Our mini puppy is now 80 pound not the 35 pounds Jamie promised us. Not only is he twice the weight Jamie said, he has advance hip dysplasia at 10 months old. He is also black and have since learned that he has never produced any black golden doodles but sold us one. He switched puppies and litters to make sales. He goldens are not even papered or purebred but border collie crosses.
We were ripped off, mislead and taken advantage of. I feel like Jaime has stolen from us in many ways. Not only did we pay to much, our puppy is sick with hereditary hip problems, skin and stomach disorders. Jamie won't honor the health guarantee because he never signed it.
When we told him we were going to sue him, he replied bring it on, if we were looking for a fight we had come to the right place. He was rude, angry and accused of of causing the problems. His deamor changed, he no longer was the nice man we thought we bought a dog from.
When we called the police for help they informed us he was known to them, but it was a civil matter and we would need to sue him in small claims court.
Once we informed him we would be charging him for false advertising and fraud, only then he offered us a replacement puppy. He said we would need agree to a list of ridiculous terms. We were instructed to quarantine him for a week, do blood tests and pay for his return shipping, crate and boarding until he could be put down. Only then would he send us a replacement puppy at our expense.
He has made it impossible for us to agree to his terms. He wants us to pay for one week of quarantine at $1000 to have our dog returned then what shot. Why would we want another puppy from this kennel, one sick puppy was enough.
Jamie knows we will have to put our family dog down as we can not afford the $2000 to return him or the $7000 for have his hip replaced. He wins regardless and does not have to guarantee or take back a dog. I am glad we can tell others about what he did to us before it happens to others. If we did not ask questions and do X-Rays we would of never found out the facts.
Buyers beware! I would not recommend ever buying a puppy from this kennel. Before you fall victim to his smooth talking sales techniques, go to your court house and search Jamie Sheppard of Roberts Creek you will see the proof.
He was very good at talking around your questions, selling 600 puppies a year have taught him what to say. Do not fall into his traps and get scammed like us. He knows the system and has learned to act in front of a judge, we will be hiring a good lawyer.
Looking for others that have been scammed by Winsome kennels.
