I am not wanting to see any own lose.

I do have my puppies go into their first vet check at around 8 weeks old, then they have a 2nd vet check before they leave my house. My vet is very careful to check the puppies well and and make sure all is well with them. If there are any problems, that is written on the health certificate. He will not sign a health certificate without making sure that any information concerning the puppy is correct. In this case the only thing we found was a very slight under bite. I told Tonya about the under and ask her if she still wanted to get the puppy. Her little one was to be spayed and a pet, so I told her that the slight under bit should not be a problem - usually I will also take off $100 if there is something like that, but I also will give a full refund if the puppy is not wanted for ANY medical reason or give the choice of picking a different puppy. This is up to the buyer. I do not keep any money if they should decide not to get the puppy due to any defect at all. It is rare that I have an under bite - but it does happen sometime.

As far as the hernia, she did not have a hernia when Tonya first got her. If I do get a puppy with the hernia, I always have it repaired before letting it go to a new home - but even then a person has the choice as to whether they want to continue with the purchase or not. They will be refunded if they decide that is what they want and the puppy will go to a different home.

What is upsetting here is that I was never contacted even though I ask ALL my puppy families to keep me updated on the puppies and to please call or e-mail me anytime with any questions. Not only that, but I have people on this site and other the other site that I found my name on (by Tonya) that seem to enjoy sitting around judging, smearing, and gossiping without any desire to find out the truth. My vet's number is on my reference page on my web site and it would just take a simple phone call to him to find out some things about me and my dogs.

In looking all around, Tonya is the only person I have ever found to be complaining about me on any other site I can find anywhere. But one person is all it takes in some of these sites to smear a person.

But some people would rather hurt a person with smears rather then go to the trouble to find out who I really am or if this situation is truly what is seems to be on the surface.

Tonya chose not to update me or in any way keep me "in the loop" as far as her puppy. If she had, we could have worked together for little girl. She is still choosing not to send my vet her dogs medical records that we ask her to send once we found out about the health issues just two weeks ago. her dog will be 4 years old on October 21st of this year and this month, August 12th is the first time I have heard anything from Tonya since she got her puppy from me over 3 1/2 years ago. The only contact from her was a very ugly e-mail accusing me of all kinds of things that were written after she had spent some time on this very link on August 11th - with what looks like other's encouraging her to think the worst of me.

I get e-mails, updates, and pictures all the time from families who have loving, healthy happy dogs that they have bought from me over this past 8 years. I have families that have 2 or even 3 dogs that are their family pets that have come from me. I have families that over the years the parents, siblings, friends, etc have bought puppies from me, and I have a number of vet's of my puppy families that refer me to their clients for a new puppy as they have been extremely pleased with the quality of the puppy and the care of the puppy while being raised the first 9 to 12 weeks of life. But anytime that you work with people - there will be one every now and then that will not be happy about anything you do. This is the type of person that any breeder (hobby or professional) prays will not buy a puppy from them. Thankfully this is very rare for me, and when this has happened it is not on health issues as I have never had this type of thing happen to me before -where someone has a health issue and has not come to be about it - it's normally just someone unhappy that their dog is not training as easily as the "dreamed" or the dog is not the color they hoped for - or the one who wanted to breed her tiny yorkie and I do not give breeding rights for my tiny Yorkies - but she gave me "hell" about that. But this is much more serious.

I could not do anything about what I didn't know though. I do the best in my power to do all I can that is right concerning my puppies and my puppy families, but if someone doesn't contact me then I can't do anything. I can say without a doubt that someone who continues to gossip and smear another persons name without knowing the truth is not being at all honorable.

I will try to stay honorable, honest, and trustworthy in all I do, but what other people do, I have no control over. I just hope all works out for Tonya and her little girl that wish she would have worked with me on her unhappiness from the beginning.
