I just purchased (July 2009) a male from Starmye and couldn't be happier. I am within driving distance and picked him up personally. She was more than accomodating to us. When I couldn't get my puppy to eat, I called her at 6:30am and she insisted that I bring him back to her. I took him back and she kept him for another week. She nursed him back to health and took him to the vet (I was given a copy of the record) at her own expense. I might have fallen for a lot of the negative posts except I saw where the puppies are raised and was very impressed. It is truly a family business and they are very good people, in my opinion. She has called to check on him after I picked him up. He is a happy healthy puppy. I have taken him to my vet and had him checked out thoroughly. He was given a clean bill of health. Our family loves him and would recommend Starmye anytime based on our experience. I am interested in knowing when your puppies were purchased. I see so much negative talk about them being a puppy mill but all by people who apparently have not visited their kennel. All the reports of 93 dogs I have seen are dated from 2000. Anyone know how many she has currently? I hate that anyone has had a bad experience but maybe the Halpain's have learned from their mistakes. Going out on a limb, I think we have all made stupid mistakes when it comes to taking care of pets or even people for that matter. I too would be furious if I was not offered a reasonable resolution after receiving a sick puppy. I can empathize with you. People do change and learn from their mistakes in life and in business. Maybe you should not be so harsh unless you can find legitimate documentation that their kennel is a puppy mill and their puppies are not well taken care of at this time. I am no family friend but thought I would post my experience for what it's worth.
