Oh I know you weren't being mean to me. I'm sometimes slow with catching on and I thought you were asking me a question. LOL. :) Got ya though. No there was no confidentiality agreement in this case. I'm hoping this person comes forward and tells her story here.

I'll just say that:

1. This pup was also sold with a cough, and that the pup is still coughing. 2. Susan, according to this person, mixed meds up in her kitchen (to send home with the buyer) as she did for me.
3. The BUYER'S vet put this pup on Albon for a bloody stool (Coccidia?) 4. The person was told that it would cost too much to register the litter so the pup would not be registered (and the pup was not cheap). 5. When asked to see the sibblings, she was told that they were already gone (Which was not the case) 6. No papers were given to this person except an empty envelope listing the shots and when they were given.

I do hope this person comes on and tells first hand, but that will be their decision and I won't break her confidence.

I do think that there will be even more coming forward now that they see they weren't they only one.

Really? looked at "julie" earlier posts and she says she works at parkway veterinary hospital.

The only Julie there is:

Julie began as a receptionist at Parkway in 2004, and in 2005 was asked to take on the position of Office Manager. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from Bridgewater State College, and prior to that studied Speech and Language Pathology at Northeastern University. She has worked as a pharmacy technician, nanny, and preschool teacher, and her mother doesn’t understand why she went from working with kids to animals. She might tell you that animals generally don’t talk back, although her cats Isis and Napoleon can be mouthy sometimes.


Seems Julie is the Office Manager.

Maybe she got her degree 'online'!!!! unbelievable!!!:rolleyes:

OMg detectives let it go, Julie is not a breeder. Start a new thread if you want to question her veterinary skills.

Here we go again. Another crack YT detective. And where did u get your detective degree? Pink Panther University? Julie Stephenson is a Vet. She worked at Parkway several years ago. Can't you see there may have been more than one person named Julie working in Cape May County? This is not the same group of crack detectives that figured out my mother Susan Morgan was actually Susan Mitchell. NOT!!!! Again, two people with the same first name. How odd??
Dr. Stephenson has a degree from the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School.

I would also like to thank the people that wrote to me regarding the "real" story. And thank you for your support.

Well, every class has someone who finishes at the bottom. Just saying...

What never got answered was whether or not this was the same vet who told the greeder to put the dogs down so she wouldn't have to deal with activists like Jersey. I can't imagine that a REPUTABLE vet would ever say anything like that.

Things that make you go hmmmm...

Either the vet has a questionable sense of ethics or the breeder lied about her saying that.

Honestly, if this person was really a vet, I find it appalling for her to get involved in this, IMO. I can't imagine my vet ever doing such a thing, nor could I imagine ever asking if I were a breeder. The only way I can imagine a vet wanting to get involved is if they are concerned about losing a lot of business from a high volume breeder bringing in a lot of dogs. Just such a strange situation for a medical doctor to get mixed up in. :confused:

My feelings exactly. It seems so out of character for a professional person to get involved like this.

ergo (which means, therefore), you are saying you are UNprofessional. nice.

My, my... that sure does seem like a threat to JG. If I were her, I would add it to her pile of stuff to send to her lawyer.


I do hope that anyone who is still considering using either the breeder, the broker or the "vet" read this thread throughly so they know the types of people they are dealing with. Sometimes, the worst advertising comes from the behavior of those they authorize to speak for them.

The way a breeder handles a problem speaks volumes about their ethics and practices.

wow... I would not buy from this breeder... just the way they present themselves is enough for me. I feel bad for JG who just wants to help her puppy and to get answers. I am sending all my good wishes to JG for sure. If positive thoughts can help :p

BTW I don't think you understand how lawsuits work. Perhaps you should learn a little bit about civil law before you try to intimidate others into not expressing their opinions. Also, perhaps you shouldn't be so condescending (i.e. defining the word "ergo") to try and prove the point that you are intelligent. Instead, you should read George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," 1946
and learn a little bit about writing. Here's a nice little quote to summarize:
"Bad writers, and especially scientific, political, and sociological writers, are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones, and unnecessary words like expedite, ameliorate, predict, extraneous, deracinated, clandestine, subaqueous, and hundreds of others constantly gain ground from their Anglo-Saxon numbers."

Well, this vet has a history of being, shall we say, easily offended and slightly temperamental.


Generation Gap
Editor:
Dr. Ken Tudor is the one who needs to get real [“Get Real, Dr. Khuly,” Letter to the Editor, April 2010].
Veterinary school debt is everyone’s problem. If it costs $200,000 to become a VMD/DVM, the new graduate needs a higher salary to pay that debt.
The “older generation” vets who complain about new grads and their salary requests are being very short-sighted. “Old farts” like Dr. Tudor desperately want to pass on their practices to the next generation, according to him. Someone in that much debt won’t be able to buy a practice.
Not whining about debt does not make it not exist. I’m not a new grad, but I’m still in debt. I knew I would be in debt before I applied to vet school, but I accepted that.
The entire profession needs to realize that astronomical costs for vet school will have great impacts on the profession—from good candidates deciding to choose other careers to the need to increase prices for services.
As far as mentoring goes, buying malpractice insurance and accepting mistakes is negligent advice. Because I have insurance it’s OK if I accidentally kill an animal? Vet school is abysmal at teaching surgery. Students have to fight with interns and residents to do surgery.
Expecting a new grad to be able to do surgery without mentoring is ridiculous.
As I tell people, vet school does not teach one how to be a vet but rather how to think like a vet. Becoming a vet takes time, practice and mentoring.
In regard to family responsibilities, allow me to be as politically incorrect (read: sexist) as Dr. Tudor was. “Old fart” vets are generally men who usually didn’t do as much raising children back in their day as the wife did. Asking your children how school was over the dinner your wife made after she cleaned the house is not quality time.
I am highly offended as a female and veterinarian in debt by his response, which only shows how out of touch some vets are.

Veterinary Practice News June 2010 Letters to the Editor

Taken directly from the NJCASPCA Website. I've highlighted Susan Morgan and Shannon Morgan.

I think I will keep on looking the information about these breeders seems to be unending. ;) Why stop now? They must have worked very hard to end up on the front page of the NJCASPCA website. Good job ladies :congrats:

Very interesting to say the least. Caveat Emptor
