Puppyfind breeder review from March 2012:

I’ve had 2 dogs from Sharon. My first puppy had to be put down after only having him 3 days. He was lethargic, throwing up, diarrhea. I spent $1,800 on tests trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Vet thought it may be Addisons Disease or a liver shut. My replacement puppy drinks a lot of water from the day I got him from Sharon. I asked my vet at his 4 mth check, and he ran blood work and urinalysis. The tests confirmed he is in renal failure of an unknown origin. I could pay for more tests and ultrasounds to find out exactly why, but nothing will cure this puppy. If I hadn’t asked the vet I still wouldn’t know he is sick. He is growing, eating and playing, he seems healthy. I wasn’t aware of the underlying health issues when I picked either puppy up from Sharon. I could run more tests to prove it’s genetic and receive a new puppy, but I wouldn’t trust the next puppy will be healthy. This has devastated my family. I would like to save another family from heartbreak.

In all fairness, the remaining 4 or 5 reviews from prior years were all positive. Anybody can write a review though & I'm always skeptical of the reviews that are so good that they seem to glow in the dark.

I have no personal knowledge of this breeder, good or bad, I'm just copying what's already published on Puppyfind.
