I could dig all day, although it is quite easy since everything about this person\'s breeding program is out on the table all over this forum. Presumably as a good way to sell her pups here. Another thing I have noticed is that despite having no money, not only has this person admitted to her sire producing over 40 puppies, but has bred females who were either too young or too old. Of course, that is again another matter of opinion, but I have never seen anyone promote breeding of a 10 month old female, or a 6 year old female who should have been a pet only by that age. As for my proof, it sure doesn\'t take a genius to look at the dates of posts and do the math based on pedigrees and births of litters. It is all laid on the table for us to see. My biggest question is, how in the world has this person managed to slip through the cracks of this forum for so long? There is an awfully long list of reasons why she should be listed as \'unreputable\' based on the criteria given in the Breeders section of this forum. I for one am glad that the OP posted this thread. I think it has been a nice wake up call for many here. Remember that for every person that posts, there are 4 more who read and don\'t say anything. My acquaintance who purchased the dog from this breeder has pondered the idea of posting, but is afraid of any repercussions. I can\'t say that I blame her, but just know OP that you are not the only person who has had issues with this person and her lack of integrity. |
Just thought it was worth mentioning that if there have been 40 dogs over say the last 4 years (I've been here over 3 years and I know Dee was here before me) and lets assume $1500/pup would equal out to about $15,000 per year now subtract vet fees, whelping supplies, dog food etc. Well, can we all agree that it is hardly a rich man's wage? And if she has sold over 25 dogs on here and none of them are defending her, isn't is also true that if she were doing such a bad job, wouldn't there be more people willing to post their bad experiences? Maybe most people are silent as they are afraid they will be attacked themselves. Personally I don't know Dee, never spoken to her and I don't think I've even ever PM'd her. I just think there are always 2 sides to every story and Dee did offer to refund her, I'm not sure what else anyone expects? Is it not possible that she just made a mistake? Aren't we all human? Or has no one else here ever made any mistakes.....
Ducking now......
