In 2001, we purchased a dog from her named Risky. She told me Risky was four years old and was being retired from breeding. We purchased Risky and Jessica had the dog delivered to us by her husband. As soon as Risky arrived, she ran in circles, and did that the rest of her life. As soon as she was delivered, the first words out of Jessica's husband's mouth was "She's not kennel crazy!" We had no idea what that meant, but later we discovered that Risky had spent the majority of her life in a kennel.

The promised CKC papers never arrived, and phone calls and emails to Ms. Thompson yielded no results and went completely unanswered. As a result, several months after I got Risky, I contacted the CKC and explained what was going on. They got involved and several months later, after they had issues reaching her as well, they provided me the papers. At that time, it became apparent as to why she wasn't responding or sending me the papers. Risky was not four years old. She was in fact EIGHT YEARS OLD!!! I did some investigating into this breeder and was told by several reputable people in the industry that my dog had been abused and that by taking her, I had essentially rescued her. In addition, I was told that Risky had been bred so much, that she expelled her uterus.

In 2004, three years after we got our precious Risky, she died of what the vet feels was likely a brain aneurysm.

Do not put yourself in my position. If you come across this breeder, keep going.
