I had bought a dog from Joan Olson's Great View Great Danes. I paid for this puppy via paypal and paid for it in full. This was on Monday morning. This was for an all white "rare" Great Dane puppy. Joan and I had been in conversation regarding the sale of this puppy for 3 weeks prior to me buying the puppy. We agreed on a price and I paid her.
That night, I got a call from a very excited Joan Olson, saying that... I quote..."his balls have dropped, he's now worth more money" When I was stunned by her garbage talk, she said that now that the puppy's testicles had 'dropped' that she could sell him for more money and that even though I had paid her, that she had to "think about it" she said she needed 4 days in order to make up her mind.
In fact, what she did, was underhandedly, post this dog on Terrific Pets for double the price. She stated that the dog could hear and that she had testing done on this puppy, in fact, a puppy's ear bones haven't grown at that point and testing is not valid. Something she should have known.
When I called her on Thursday, she didn't call me, she stated that she needed 1 more day to "think about it" again, the "thinking" was that she had another buyer for this dog, who passed her judgment of a good dog owner, because "she had more money, and owns acres in Bel Aire"
Finally, she called me and said that she had sold the puppy to someone else, even though I had already paid for the puppy, what she did was unthinkable. This gem of a backyard breeder will sell to anyone with cash. She has no scruples what~so~ever.
She has a farm in Missouri and every single animal on that farm is pregnant. She said she sometimes leaves her 11 year old daughter in charge of helping the animals to give birth. It's all about numbers, many of the dogs that she has give birth twice in the same year. She made no bones about telling me that she paid 5K for a dog and she needed to get her money back for him. She never said the puppys were of such quality, but rather that she needed to re~coup the money paid for Oby. There is a new Great Dane litter every month.
When I asked for my refund on the money, there were "problems" she couldn't refund the money right back to me. It took a week and I had to file a complaint with PayPal before I received my money back.
While, one part of me feels sorry for the buyer of this over charged "rare" white Great Dane, another part of me is angry for what she did to me, and probably others. I'm hoping others read this warning about this shameless breeder before they pay for her puppies that she will sell out from under you. Once she has a price, she will troll for other buyers and see if she can get a higher price for the same puppy and sell it to the highest bidder. She also said she has no problem doing this, she acknowledges that she does it and it is common for her to do so. Beware of this breeder, she will scam if she can. Once a puppy is sold she will tell you that someone else in interested in it, do you want to pay more money? Quality breeder? I don't think so.
