I have heard of this guy and have seen his site. Total mill in my opinion. 1200 dogs ? How nice for him

I can tell you it's very hard to get someone like this shut down. I'm sure with that many dogs he is USDA inpsected. USDA should be for cattle and livestock only, NOT dogs. I was scammed by some one in FL along with about 25 others. He was importing sick and very young pups from Brazil. Many dogs died from parvo but my little guy just had bad cocci, and kennel cough. no AKC papers as promised and fake vet certs., for shipping. After getting all the info for the feds( vet records, false vet health certs., false DOB, Brazil connection, airline he used etc. ) We finally got him for fraud. It took 1 1/2 yrs and I thought we would never get him. I was lucky because my baby lived and I fought with my credit card and paypal and got most of my $$ back. MANY others did not and he got about $30,000 from us a about 4 months. We now get a check for $13.73 per month for our refunds, from the FL state of corrections

It was a full time job, but it can be done. I am a small breeder and know the work it takes keep the pups happy and healthy. Breeders such as Jeff make me sick with the amount of dogs they have and the prices they charge. I'm sure your pups will be fine, but thats a shame you had to deal with sick pups. It should be a happy time when you get a new pup, not a nightmare. take care, Jeanief
