Upon inspection by my vet on 1/8/10, this puppy was heavily burdened by round worms and also developed pneumonia. This puppy also arrived with a nasal discharge. The puppy ended up in the emergency clinic for 4 days due to heavy vomiting and diarrhea from the massive infestation of worms. This owner's guarantee form states that the animal "was in good health". Their vet inspected the animal the day before shipment and claims the animals was in good health. The vet does not do any fecal exams for this business owner. Their vet took an oath in the state of Missouri that states "protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering". This animal was suffering beyond belief. His white blood count dropped to 600 and almost died. This puppies belly was extremely distended and should have been an alert to this owner. To date we have over $2800.00 in vet bills to save this puppies life. I notified the owner on 1/9/10 of the problem. This owner is stating that due to signing her health guarantee, that she is no longer responsible. This is an example of animal cruelty and I have 6 vets in my area that would stand behind that statement. Their website misleads people with all of their referances. I tried to sign her quest book but they would not post my comments. This business shipped out over 128 dogs last year. They do not inform the public that they are brokers and their personal vet does not vaccinate or perform standard life safety tests on their animals. Their health certificates are blank where there should be vaccinations and claims that a 9 week old, 3lbs. Yorkie can withstand temps. as low as 10 degrees. They are misleading people that they will receive a healthy pet. A belly full of round worms is treatable and preventable. I have over 40 pages of documentation to save this puppies life. They should be held responsible for this living animal. I am trying to seek reimbursement from this owner for $2,835.48. Please advise the public on the practices of this owner.

I would like the person who bought this dog to give me a call. I purchased a long haired chihuahua from qaulity puppies for sale which came from the Tanners also.i guess so anyway. If you look at qualitypuppiesforsale.com they are they same animals but much higher. The actual owner of my dogs were kathy Payne, but published on tanners puppys site and quality puppies. The dog suddenly got Parvo within a week and died 8 days later. This takes 7-14 days to be noticed. We were blamed for that in the beginning. Then Mr Peraza said maybe the dog should have been put to sleep after the fact a large vet bill had accumalated. They sent another one from the same dag gone breeder I told him not to send from, which died the very next day death unknown. Puppy had alot of pain in her side under her arm. I am prepared to take legal action and blast this fraud every where possible. I am in the process of getting a legal attorney due to the fact of my vets recommendation and their findings on these 2 dogs. Breeder told me today after delaying for a month and said he wasnt going to replace the dog because no autopsy was done. Our vet stated both dogs died on their report. My vet bill is 1800.00 and some change. I paid 1270.00 for the dog. Richard the fraud said he would help pay half the vet bill and replace the dog. Then he said he would give me my money back. Now after I have spent over 3200.00 of my money he wants me to about 500.00 for another one. Wrong answer. I am preparing to blast this dirty business all over the internet, and local newspapers. I am also going to notify the BBB. If the owner of the Yorkie would contact me, I would love to get more of your details plus provide mine. I live in newport news, va. My email is
icsteelrain@aol.com. Then we can discuss more over the phone. Thank you
