If it is this site and I have the correct person, why havent any of these people that have been sold a bill or goods, a pig in a poke, or a deathly ill dog, CONTACTED THE BBB?????? I am a member of the BBB and I give each of my buyers a postcard, provided by the BBB (at my expense!) for them to write a review of me and my business and return it to the BBB. I always tell my people to wait 3-4 months, or even a year, before they return the card, so the report will be accurate. If BBB is getting negative reviews, you do not have a A+ rating! She has provided every one of her buyers the opportunity to submit a review of her business as a member of the BBB....people should take advantage of this opportunity. |
Denise claims to be so honored to have been chosen for a feature in Boston Magazine and Animal Planet's Dogs 101. THIS IS BULL CRAP and I know first hand because both entities contacted me as well, and I strongly suspect being "chosen" was based solely on web site visibility. I was so unknown at the time that Boston Magazine couldn't have found me any other way than a random internet search. I didn't do the magazine spread because I didn't want to expose my puppies. Animal Planet received such an onslaught of complaints about "honoring" someone like that that I did agree to film some subsequent episodes with them. I did it for fun because I was training my first show champion at the time. There was no public credit, endorsement, or any other kind of "honor." The producer wanted to film puppies and showed no concern for where they came from.
I think her BBB membership is fairly new and likely an attempt at damage control. She has a contract now with health guarantee as well. I think she may not have had one before. Willingness to comply with the terms of a written guarantee should stand her in good stead with BBB, and it does show some improvement in her practices. I suppose one can't go to BBB and complain that "she charmed me into paying her $4000 for a puppy with no pedigree." I've come to the conclusion that she caters to the impulse buyer with more money than brains or who is too lazy to perform any due diligence. It's shame on them, really, that this goes on.
