I bought a poodle puppy about 2 1/2 years ago from ultimatepuppies.com and StarmyHalpain. My god-daughter found the puppy on the website and based on the pictures and info on the website, we assumes the puppies were well taken care of and were in excellent conditions. What a disappointment. For starters, we drove to Oklahoma to get the puppy and when we got into town she told me to meet her at the local gas station and she would bring the available poodle pupppies. She claimed that her residence was too difficult to find and it would be best to just meet her. Then upon meeting her,we of course fell in love with the puppies. I selected one and then she refused to take my personal check. She followed us to the nearest ATM machine in town so that we could get her cash. Two days after getting the puppy home, he refused to eat and was throwing up. I called her and she told me to give him pedialyte and plain yogurt. Nothing helped. I ended up taking him to the vet as I thought he was dying and they told me that he had a severe case of kennel cough and that any decent breeder should have known this. He was very sick. I went through 3 rounds of anti-biotics and 3 vet visits for him to get better. Still to this day he chokes and coughs severely. They had to remove his tonsils, but this did not help. About 6 months after I had my puppy, he almost died once again. I have spent close to $1200 in vet bills to help my puppy stay alive and well. I have definitely learned a lot from this experience and certainly hope that noone else goes through this. I should have noticed all of the warning signs before buying my puppy, but just assumed she was reputable and honset. After going through all of this, I would NOT recommend this breeder to anyone.
