| I have never heard of either of these breeders, but looking at their websites, here are several red flags that would cause me to run the other way FAST. Windswept:-seems like the vaccinations are given to the pups starting at a very young age...2 weeks! -they will not give a refund should the pup have to be returned, only a future, replacement pup -they don't assure the pups to be "breeding quality", yet they sell them with full AKC registration IMO, any breeder who offers their pups w/ full reg, no questions asked, is clearly not at all concerned with the health of the pups they produce nor do they take pride in what they are breeding Ultimate: -they are breeding multiple breeds, including mixed breeds advertised as "Designer Breeds": -they do not give a refund should the pup have to be returned -they do not guarantee the pup to be free from LP...they actually claim it won't be covered because the dog can develop that later on -they actually make the exact statment "sold as pet quality, w/ full AKC registration Again, not something any GOOD, REPUTABLE breeder would do. I would suggest you keep looking. I know that there are several good breeders in your area. Please just be patient and don't sacrifice quality for a lower price. |

| ultimate puppies , starmye halpain hello, did you get your puppies from ultimate puppies? if so I would love to talk. I just picked my dog up at the airport ..major problems!!! dog was head to toe matted, sick, and I didn't even get the dog promised... looks absolutely nothing like the dog I requested on the web sight. Poor dog had an upper respertory infection, rash, dirty . the first day I brought him home, right away I brought him to the vet cost $200.00, and when the dog is well enough i will have to het him groomed and have all the matts cut out, I called starmye haplain to tell her how upset it was. I told her i was unhappy about the poor condition of the dog I received, and she told me to ship the dog back to her? I asked her who would pay for shipping? she wouldn't pay for shipping plus, I would have to pay to have a new dog shipped, that would put me $600.00... that's funny, she guarantee a healthy dog upon arrival and when a I receive a sick dog she wont even pay for shipping. she new I was STUCK'' I said please do the right thing and pay for the puppies vet bill minus the office visit( i would pay for that). she rushed me off the phone told me she needed to talk to her husband and she would call me back and never did.what kind of breeder does that ?. I would like to say buyer beware! if you are considering getting a puppy from these people, don't let the beautiful well groomed puppies on the website fool you, Oh, and the nice family on the home page,. as far as i am concerned it is all a scam! |

| There is a horrible review on Ultimate Puppies in the breeder reeiw section and some postings where they have been investigated as a puppy mill. I contacted them once and had to threaten to sue them before they would stop harrassing me to buy a puppy. |

| Being able to register your dogs with AKC does not guarantee that you are an ethical breeder or business person. AKC will only prove that the dog is pure bred and if the woman is investigated she can be suspended and fined but that doesn't mena that she's honest. Buyer beware is truly the montra in this business so everyone needs to do alot of research. As the popularity of this breed increases it seems that the ethical breeders get fewer and the scams get bigger. I feel so sorry for the sick pups and the poor people who end up taken. I wish you all healthy pups who will give you years of love.
