Arkansas Breeder- Granny Puppies

[almighty_peanut]

awwww... it looks like her website is down and she no longer sells on nextdaypets.com as apupy4u.. don't worry though everybody, you can still get one of her fine, quality pups from nextdaypets under the seller named mycutiepuppies . give norma a call and schedule a visit if you're in the area to have a look at her top notch breeding facility and grade "A" living conditions!

Puppies for Sale, Dogs for Sale

[mason548]

I am a brand new member here, and recently I was researching puppy mills. A little over a year ago, I purchased a Shiba-inu from the very breeder we are discussing here: Grannies puppies, Lavica, AR. I purchased my dog at nextdaypets.com for 425$ including her airfare to O'hare airport in Chicago. Amber has been a healthy, fresh addition to my life and has been a wonderful dog. Just for kicks, I decided to research on the internet, to see if there was anything about this Woman, "Norma" whom i had extensive phone contact with. Appearantly, from reading these multiple posts, it looks like she runs a puppy mill. This does surprise me because norma was one of the sweetest people ive ever spoken to. I'm thanking god, I did not get a dog that was sick or had serious health problems, coming form conditions that i;ve read from the multiple postings on this website. Is this woman still in business today?

So i decieded to buy puppies from Norma (seeing as i got my puppy from her and looking her up on the BBB. she got a A!) i was buying them and selling them here in massachusetts (not knowing also that you needed a license to do so!) so i sold 2 the first time, and then got 2 more in (i sent her 700 each time for 2 puppies) she had said they could get diahrea from stress so i thought nothing of it.. first 2 puppies came COMPLETLY fine, they went within one day of getting here.. next 2 pups i got came about 3 days later, the female dog was very very thin and the male looked great to me.. i kept getting them in 2 by 2 and once i got 2 yorkies 2 chihuhuas, so the 2nd set of dogs i get in I get a call from the girl i sold the female to, she said she keeps having really bad diahrea and shes throwing up sick shaking, i called norma and she told me she was fine that she had been VERY stressed, give her peptobizmal and pedialight, next day comes she said she brought her to the vet and the vet thinks its parvo i call norma and she told me the vet was bulls**ting ( i thought nothing of it!>) i ended up taking the girls dog back and tried to get it better DIED ON ME!! norma said it was dehydrated and she'd send me another puppy with the next i buy, in the mean time i called the other people who bought the male and they said there dog was fine, they ended up calling a few days after the girls dog died and told me there dog was sick with Parvo They wanted a refund right away! which i couldnt give, i told norma and she said that it came positive for parvo because of the vacinations they give are strong.. SoO i didnt think anything of it.. I got the next 2 in and kept em for 2 days they were fine, very very energetic.sold them and got the 4 in at once (2 chihuhuas for my sister who was selling them and 2 more yorkies!) when the yorkies got here one was very light and was shaking wouldnt come out and was very scared..he wouldnt drink anything..the other was complelty healthy Very energetic.. i told norma about the thin one she said he was just fine that he didnt know who i was he'd be fine.. during the night the puppy had Severe diahrea everywhere.. i woke up and he barfed.. called norma she said peptobizmal..gave it seemed to work a tad bit, he wouldnt eat or drink though.. told her that she said boil chicken (did that he ate a tiny bit) wouldnt drink though so i was syringing him with pedialight.. night goes and he keeps barfing and having SEVERE nasty smelling black diahrea.. she said its fine peptobizmal him.. next day comes HES EXTREMLY SICK!! wont walk, wont eat wont drink keeps shaking.. she calls her vet and he says its probally Giardia that she'll send me meds.. she told me stick him downstairs so i did.. i went downstairs and he just looked like he was dying, the meds didnt come so i said screw it im taking him to the vet and i dont care how much it cost (i dont have much money as it is, im 20 and have a 2 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old..) but i didnt care i was taking him.. i took him in and they were like "OMG he needs to be seen RIGHT AWAY!!" they took him estimated 700, they call me the next day and tells me he has PARVO!! i was histerically crying, i called norma and told her, she said its bullsh*T that he would have been dead already.. at that time i already knew it was all parvo *i didnt wanna belive it because she was VERY Convincing.* so he ran me up to 1000, and i had to sign him over to the vet because i couldnt afford it anymore, he was pouring blood barfing and diahrea still.. (the usda was involved after the older couple and the girl called about there dogs.. as well as the Framingham police department.. OMG i am screwed lol) so yeah 4 days goes by and my mom tells me the guy my sister sold the chihuhuas to the 9 week old got parvo and died!! =( its just a MESS.. norma said its all b*s and that they'd all be sick.. i keep texting her and she wont write back.. she took all her puppies off nextday pets and just WONT respond.. I end up having my puppy boots and the other puppy on quarenteen for god knows how long.. BOTH of them are fine by the way.. 2 vets said that they vacanation papers she sends are basically fake and to just throw them out, she told me she worms them and gives them there vacanations mind u she only has them for a few days because she gets the puppies that the pet stores dont want.. So i ended up with a 1000 vet bill, Vet bills for my puppy and the other puppy.. all in all its cost me a good 1500. which norma is not helping with.. oh and 2 people who want there money back which i dont have.. she deffintly screwed me good time.. i truthfully cannot believe someone could be like this.. i really really trusted her (exp with her having a A on the better business buero! *SP* anywho the little puppy that i paid 1000 for ended up living..checked in on him today.. and no one else siad there dogs have parvo.. Please please please NO ONE BUY FROM HER if u ever see her online again.. Trust what people say .. oH and my boots she said would only be 5-7 lbs at the most is now 9 and hes only 7 months..and the puppy i have thats 10 weeks is 4lbs!!!!!!

Please stop being a puppy broker. It's wrong and someone always loses out. Sometimes it's the dog (almost always), the breeder, the broker. It's wrong.

Fool you one time, shame on them, fool you twice, shame on you.
I have sympathy for the poor dogs who suffered, but I have zero for you. You shouldn't have been selling dogs in the first place, and you also should have realized something was wrong the first time a pup got sick.

After reading your post if you're expecting sympathy or understanding I have neither for you. IMO the one thing worse than most breeders are puppy brokers.

Poor puppies!

Hey you all are close to where i live i live in charlottesville Virginia.. Yes it is usually a hit or miss when you are getting a puppy long distance I do have a breeder if you ever decide to get one I have 3 of hers and she is great.... Im glad the baby is doing well and if you want to send me a email to my email address we can chat... also get some nutra cal and give to him will help give him energy and also order some DYNE .. Good luck ..

[WalnutHill]

What a crazy thread.....

Don't buy from puppy mills! Don't try to be the middle man to make money on puppies (broker) - certainly if you know it's a puppy mill! Do your homework before buying a dog you haven't seen!

That's all I have to say about that.

It seems that the new kennel name is Lone Pine Pets. It seems that they change the kennel name very often and that they have more kennel names.

Wow.... Dont know why I decided to look this up today. And I do see that this is an old post but I could not pass this up. We purchased a dog from them back in June of last year. And he came to us sick with Kennel Cough. He is doing well and very healthy now that we know of. But this I do not agree with. Please keep me updated!

[paulapoo]

These most recent posts make me sick to my stomach. I sure hope you are making lots of money while these poor, sick babies are being shipped, and then sold again. I don't understand how someone can say they love dogs and then put them through all that. Please, please stop brokering puppies. The greed at the expense of these sweet babies is so disheartening. Meanwhile the puppymills are just cranking out the pups.

Luckily though, Paxton's doing great. He's a sweet little guy and the vet says he's very healthy now.
Granny puppies did tell us he'd only be 7 lbs though, and he's already 6lbs at 18 weeks, but that's so minor now... I'm just happy he's such a playful puppy.

I too got my 1st yorkie from Norma and she seemed to be very wonderful when we got my baby he had severe blood sugar problems and we took him to the vet they thought he had parvo at first then after (very expensive) extensive testing we found out his blood sugar level was like 30 which is deadly!! I can't really blame he per say but I had told her before she sent him to me that if he was not ready to go I would happily wait for him. It was ultimately my fault though I was inexperienced and didn't know what questions to ask and I bought from her because he was cheap and he was adorable!! So sorry for what happened to you and your baby.

I don't know if this lady is still in business but I wanted to let you know about our experience with her.

We purchassed our dog Dusty (white maltipoo) from Granny's Puppies on Oct 19, 2008. Two crates arrived at the RIC airport, both with white maltipoo's. We were so excited and picked up the one with our name on it. The other crate had a very lively puppy, but our puppy seemed very tired. When we got him to the car we immeditly wanted to hold him, but we let him sleep. We knew we had a problem when he didn't eat, walk, play. We took him to the Vet the next day and they said he had severe pneumonia along with other problems, was way too young and probably will not make it. We paid out $$$ for months to get him well and im very happy to say we have a very strong and healthy 2 year old Dusty. If I had to do it again, I would....I wish I could save them all. Cruelty to animals should not be tolerated, and cruelty comes in many facets. I hope and pray that the other maltipoo we saw that day has a healthy and happy life. A year ago, Dusty was joined by his best friend Denver, a yorkipoo from a local breeder. They are our children! Dusty will always have a slight heart problem caused by the pneumonia, we will keep a close eye. They play all day in the yard and sleep all night in our bed. I wish all dogs could enjoy life as they do. I will only buy from a respectful, clean and healthy breeder from now on!

I am a college student, so obviously I can't afford to spend 1k$ on a puppy, and I admit I was not aware of puppy mills or breeder standards. However, when I went to see some of the golden retriever pups she had listed, even I was disgusted at the conditions.

Norma is a very obese woman living in a mobile home with huge bird cages in her living room. I asked to see the pup and she had her "husband" bring me 2 golden retriever pups in kennels. I asked to see the conditions that the pups were in daily and she told me no. One of the pups were lethargic and had a runny nose and bad cough. The other one was quite energetic and I just fell in love with her and knew I had to get her out of those conditions. I paid 250$ to get this little girl out of those conditions, and I would do it again. She developed a slight cough the night I got her back to my home in Fayetteville (about a 60 mile drive), and I took her to the vet on Monday. The Dr said she was a good looking pup and had a slight case of kennel cough. I have been giving her antibiotics and her cough has gone away. She is an amazing pup and I love her to death, but I agree this lady is a fat, disgusting, horrible person and should be prosecuted for the conditions that she leaves her pups in.

I am close to the situation and am willing to do whatever is possible to get this lady shut down after seeing her conditions first hand. I feel like I was very lucky to get a healthy pup away from her, and absolutely love my little girl. However, her conditions are not livable for dogs and she should be shut down immediately.

Wow..... I bet your ugly!! And your new dog has probably pissed in your house! I personally know this woman and I can personally tell you she knows the name of every dog she has owned, how many litters they have had and which ones survived and which ones have not made it.... were each and every dog has gone to their new homes! And as far as her being obese when she was in her early 20's she was hit by a train and broke her back in three places and both knees, and broke her back cleaning kennels one day! The reason she wouldn't let go into the kennel idiot is because dumb dumbs like you carry Parvo virus on your shoes and you could have carried the virus into the kennel and wiped out the whole kennel. I know for a fact when they enter the kennel their shoes are left out side and they put on boots that have never been outside that kennel and they step in trays of bleach! I have had at least 8 dogs from Norma all healthy and happy! Long plane rides do funky things to little puppies and most of you dumb dumbs give them alot of water so it makes them sick you have to give them small amounts in slow intervals. And no she is not a puppy mill..... and for other poster that looked at her address on the map 3 of the buildings are their printing shop... and 2 are storage buildings 1 dog run and 1 baby building! I can show you a nasty puppy mill hers is not just because she lives in a trailer (Which by the way was a well known plastic surgeons lake house that was repoed), does not make her a bad person! I know of THOUSANDS OF PUPPIES THAT HAVE GONE OUT OF THERE AND ARE LIVING HAPPY LIVES!!! How do I know, I probably did your paper work!
