I purchased a shihpoo from Carrie in early 2008. When I picked Leo up at the airport he was smelly but I thought that was from him getting sick in the carrier. I immediately gave him a bath in the restroom and assumed he would be fine. I ended up taking him to the vet later in the day. He needed fluids as he was dehydrated, he had two ear infections, and also had Coccidia. I spoke to Carrie several times, after I got him and in the last few months. She is pretty non-chalant about any problems I "think" Leo has and has had. It was clear that she was not sincere about her contract or about the dog in general.
One thing she did offer three days after the purchase when I contacted her about my $500 vet bill, was to send Leo AKA Max back and her send me another dog. I was flabergasted as I was already so attached to him.
He is a little over a year old now and is of course, the love of my life. However, he does have some digestive problems. He was to eat Royal Canine, which I can't believe he ate before because he would never touch it with me. Nor did I receive the free care pack that was promised. He has had so many stomach problems that I feed him chicken breast and rice now just to be safe.
All in all, he is a great dog with a wonderful personality. However, if I ever purchased another it would not be from her. I don't feel they are true to their word and I kind of think now he did come from a puppy mill.
