This is sad. I have never been there. I just hope nobody gets them confused with me.

400 puppies and more on the way? How in the world could someone house 400 puppies unless they were stacked in cages? We all have to remember, just because the puppies are cute and look healthy, doesn't mean the parents of these puppies don't live in horrible conditions! You can have 10 puppies for sale to show people that look nice. Where are the other 390 puppies waiting to be sold? NO breeder that loves their adult dogs and puppies, would ship them to be sold by a broker or a pet store. People that breed and sell in this fashion must think of their dogs as livestock and only $$ makers. It really makes me feel sick to my stomach !

I couldn't begin to imagine the conditions that the adults and other puppies much have to endure. I have all of my babies in my home with me running around the house behind them, they sleep with my hubby and I and play with my grandchildren.
I only breed my girls occasinally and usually get on average three pups per litter. Even with just so few I find that it is a full time job giving each one the care and attention they need. How on earth can anyone feel they are giving that many puppies the attention they need to become healthy well socialize pets? This is all way beyond my understanding or way of thinking, of course this is just my opinion.

imagine that this facilities has employees, at most I'm guessing 20, that means 20 pups per employee and I honestly doubt they live on the facility and take care of them day in and day out. It's sad really, but this is my guess and it's what I've been thinking about when I hear "400 puppies"

We recently purchased two Shih Tzu a month ago from WVPUPPY.COM, took to vet on day 4 because of coughing. Guess what, Kennel cough. They have been sick for over a month. Have called them 3 times, talked with Tony once, and was going to check with breeder and get us some relief on vet bills. They also had worms.

We are now at $600 in vet bills and still not have the cough resolved. It is heart breaking to see these two little ones so sick, but we aren't going to trade them for the world. We have left three messages and no calls have been returned.

So, I guess their 5 day guarentee means nothing. The shot records also did not indicate the date they got the shots. Hell anyone can check and say they had them, how can you prove it. We have two adult shih tzus and had two others years ago, but purchased from individual breeder. You get attached to them very quickly and just want them to be healthy. I would recommend that no one purchase from this damn puppy mill, go find another breeder that doesn't deal like this.

May have to go up there and sit outside to let everyone else know that you don't know what you are getting and may have additional costs that they won't stand behind.

This is just DISGUSTING! Is there NO way to regulate this? I mean, really? There HAS to be something!

WVpuppyHater · 01-16-2011, 12:17 PM

I bought a bulldog puppy from this WV puppy little over a month ago. This is the first time I have ever bought a dog and only did so bc my boyfriend was hell bent on a bulldog. Our other 2 dogs came from rescues. The place looks like a great place when you come in. And they preach about puppy mills, how terrible they are. Well...after only having my dog for a week he was sick. Hospitalized twice since then. $3,000.00 in vet bills so far. My dog is terribly sick. And he will probably continue to be sick for the rest of his life. He is in liver failure at the moment. at the age of 3 months old. He will always have to take meds and have a special diet. When we called WVpuppy about this. They said we cld return him and have the choice from 2 bulldog puppies they currently have. Which pissed me off royaly. this dog is now my baby. He is a party of my family. I cannot turn him back in where they claim the owner will keep him as a pet. which im sure is not the case. He wld probably be put down. So after $2,300 to buy my puppy, $3,000 to try and make him better, and all my heartache...he is still sick. And they didnt care. So now I am on a mission to end this place! Show the owner, Anthony Drozdik, what im made of. He owns WV puppy and also another place in Youngstown, Ohio where he lives. The animal control in Berkeley County knows what this place is all about and does surprise visits once a month. But because the puppy mill isnt actually at the WVpuppy location, they cant seem to bust them just yet. I can assure you this place is no good. Dogs are only there on the weekends. During the week they are back in their filth and feces infested wire cages. Thats why all the pics on WVpuppy.com are of dogs getting baths. Bc they are filthy when its time to bring them in this dump. Technically puppys shouldnt be getting baths at that young of age. This place is a lie, a joke, fraud! And most of all a terrible business that these unheartful, money hungry, uncompassionate people are involved in! I am determined to take this place to the ground, and atleast show people what this place is really about!!

jrsygal37 · 01-16-2011, 07:09 PM

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's heartbreaking when you have a little one so sick. Have you checked the Puppy Lemon Law in your area? I can try to look it up for you if you want? The place is in Virginia? I think they only deal with NJ but you can tell your story to Libby Williams, her website is NJCAPSA - New Jersey Consumers Against Pet Shop Abuse - Home. I think she can add even out of state bad breeders to her site. Why not write to her and see if she can help guide you. She is a wonderful woman. Again, I'm so sorry for you and your family and that poor puppy. Elaine

Honestly, that's what I first thought. Might want to change your name to be safe.

WVpuppyHater · 01-17-2011, 10:30 AM

Thank you! I am going to check her out, and shoot her an email. I am looking for an answer for him as well as, not so much revenge, but a sense of ease. This place has made my life and my poor puppy's life a living hell the past month. If anyone else has any other ideas please let me know. Im willing to email anyone I can. Thank you again! And lets try to end this place!

I won't do that. I'm really not to concerned over it. I have had my name since 2005. People who do their research and come visit me know who I am. People that don't I won't sell to anyway. It only takes a few clicks to see the difference.

Well your name is quite confusing, makes you sound like your from WV and you hate puppies.
I hope your puppy gets better.

I agree. Your username is a bit offensive. Are you wanting to be a part of this community or just to spread hate about this breeder? I would consider changing your Username. Plus, YT has a very kind, responsible breeder (WVYorkies) and I would hate people to think you were talking about her. Just my thoughts and something for you to think about. I hope you have a great weekend and I am so sorry about your experience.

This is weird...the email notification of this response came to me via my phone and is said "yorkiehater" or "puppyhater" --- I was shocked. I wish I could remember which...I was at work so and I was deleting email stuff and planned to mention it to you, and now I've forgotten which (sorry). I came back to this post as I wanted to make sure the post was posted here also. So what's up with that? I know you don't hate puppies/yorkies. Anyway, it was the same message. Has anyone else told you that happened when they received this notification???

BaxtersMommy · 01-23-2011, 06:16 AM

The message didnt come to me that way, maybe you are mistaken.
