I'm sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it just seems so obvious! How can a breeder POSSIBLY send the wrong dog to someone....not just once...but time after time! Maybe it's being done deliberately (the old bait and switch) and maybe it's not...but even if it's not, it certainly indicates that SOMETHING is wrong there!

Maybe they keep the kennel as clean as "humanly possible", and maybe the dogs are interacted with as much as possible, and maybe their health is looked after as much as possible, and maybe there are PLENTY of happy customers out there. But the same complaints have been heard enough, over and over, from different people, that it's obvious there is a problem. And the problem has a name:

"PUPPY MILL"

They do have plenty of references from very happy satisfied customers. If and when the time comes I'm sure they will use their proof.
