Alice Gettelfinger/Alices Cocker Spaniels Breeder sold very sick dog who died Internet

Alice Gettelfinger aka Wunderland Cockers/ACS all the same breeder. This woman sent me pictures of a beautiful American Cocker Spaniel in full coat and represented that the dog was 1 year old. I paid for the dog in good faith and paid to have her shipped to me from Indiana to New Jersey. When the dog arrived via Delta airlines and was still behind the customer service counter the gentlemen there asked me if I rescued the dog? I said no I purchased her and from that moment on I knew what would come next could not be good.

When I opened her crate she smelt horrific as if she had been wallowing in crap. There was no mess in her crate so I knew it was not that. She was totally shaven down and did not even look like the same dog that was represented in the picture when I was considering purchasing her. She kept scratching her ears and when I inspected them she had horrible brown matter and very red and infected ears as well. On the ride home my daughter was holding her on her lap and noticed that there was a horrible discharge coming from the dogs personal area. I called the breeder and she told me that the dog had just finished a heat cycle and that was normal for her to have that sort of discharge. When I questioned about the condition of the dog meaning the odor and the ears she became enraged and hung up on me.

I then took the dog to my vet and on examination my vet was shocked that a health certificate had been issued by her vet in Indiana and suggested that he call her vet. When he called her vet he was told that he did not notice the ears being infected and that was not a reason for a dog not to fly anyways. Two weeks later this little girl died. As I was walking her outside she collapsed on the ground and was gone. I was besides myself and had an autopsy done because I needed to know what happened and why. On autopsy I was told that in fact this little girl was not 1 year old at all but more like 4-5 years old, had never had a litter and that her breeder had been administering hormone injections to her to prevent her from coming into her heat cycle which caused issues with her uterus and she died of an exploding uterus commonly known as Pyometra. I had her cremated and called the breeder immediately who in turn became very nasty and basically hung up the phone on me.

This breeder then went out of business and has resurfaced selling puppies on www.PUPPYFIND.com and when I reached out to her and asked her to replace the little girl that I purchased in good faith she refused. The little girl that I purchased from her was bought with full rights and was suppoed to be used to have a litter which obviously never happened. She was only with me 2 weeks when she died and besides for the horror and the pain of watching that happen there was also an monetary investment made for her. I have several emails from Alice Gettelfinger where she has refused to do anything and at one point she said she had not seen papers on the autopsy results. I offered to send her anything she wanted and she then refused me once again on a replacement. Not sure I would even want a replacement but more so it is the way she has handled this.

Buyer please beware she is awful. No heart at all just a puppymill is what she is. If anyone has any further questions please by all means contact me directly I will show you the emails shared and the results from the autopsy as well. Do not trust her fake ad on puppyfind.com it is not who she is. She is representing herself as a high end breeder of show dogs which is not who she is at all... If anyone else has had a bad experience with her please reach out to me. I have contacted my attorney on this matter and will be filing a lawsuit against her..
