this breaks my heart so much. thank you for telling your story as painful as it may have been to tell you have shown sooo many people reading the truth about MO's worst breeders and puppy mills. I too got a dog from a terrible breeder in MO. His name is Marvin Greer from Joplin, MO and his website is Greenwood Kennels. He and his wife Linda are very "nice" people but sold me a pup for $400 that at 10 months had grade 3 luxating platella and came with worms and has over her life of not even 2 years been sick mulitple times and has several allergy and food issues. I would NOT recommend him because though he seems nice and maybe he is, he sells pups at 5 1/2-7 weeks old barely eating on their own and strips their mothers away from them to put them back in a "kennel" with other moms and the pups in a "kennel" with each other. I didn't go look at his kennels so I cannot tell you how good/bad it was. He got irrate with me when I started to ask too many questions about his facilities and he got mad and basically said that if i don't trust him then don't buy his pup because he's not going to keep it with the mom to 12 weeks and he's not going to hold it that long if someone else wants it.

i am sorry for this loss and sorry this happened. your lesson has been a valuable piece of information to YT and to others researching about where to get a puppy and how to avoid these awful breeders and sad endings.
