BrushyCreek | 02-06-2007 09:06 PM | Lisa Bushman Mallery dba LMB Farm First of all I am very well aware that I am considered a "puppy mill" and hated by most of you on this sight. Fine. What I would like to clear up is a few things. First of all, my attorney has advised me not to give an interview to any news station at this time. But I would like to make a few things clear about the the lawsuit with Ms. Lisa Bushman Mallery dba LMB Farm. First of all... Ms. Bushman didn't sue me over sick dogs. She sued me because I refused to give her registrations on dogs that she sold as breeders and only paid me pet price for. That is what the lawsuit was about. Ms. Mallery also did not have to pay for any of the dogs until after they were sold. I fronted them all to her. Those dogs were sure good enough for her for 3 1/2 years and that woman made ALOT of money. Those dogs included Jack Russells, Westies, Wheatens, Yorkies, Kerry Blues, Irish Terriers, and Cavaliers. The first year she sold dogs for me she made close to $150,000. I found out 3 years later that she wasn't keeping her spay/neuter contracts on all these supposed "pets" she was selling. Turns out she was selling many Cavaliers for $2500 - $5000 a piece as breeders. I was getting pet price for these dogs which was $650 (my profit was $200 after expenses). When I found out that I was being screwed to the wall by her I asked to see her spay/neuter contracts so she could prove to me she was only selling pets. To this day she still has not produced one spay/neuter contract not even did she have them at the trial. In the 3 1/2 years she sold for me she sold over 1200 puppies. I myself, didn't sell that many pups and I certainly didn't get the kind of money for them that she did. Also 95% of those 1200 dogs were shipped directly to her from Ireland and England. She ordered exactly what she wanted directly from the brokers overseas. The court records are available for the public to see in the Waller County Courthouse in Hempstead. Feel free to check it out. That includes you too FOX 26. The sick dog stuff came up because Ms. Bushman solicited the internet with help of many others that are members of this site to find witnesses to testify on her behalf. She found 2 people that claimed they bought puppies from me that got sick. The other 3 people she got to testify were disgruntled sellers that also sold dogs for me (like Bushman). To this day still all of those other 3witnesses including Ms. Lisa Bushman/Mallery still owe me tens of thousands of dollars for dogs they sold that I did NOT get paid for. They basically gained up me and cut the middle man out (me). So for all of you who don't believe this please check it out for yourself at the court house. Also, for all of you who are applauding Ms. Lisa Bushman/Mallery - make no mistake. She is a "puppy mill" herself and profiting off her dogs still to this day. Ms. Bushman was on TV and told you all - that while she sold dogs for me "it was the worst years of her life". Well that is a lie because why would anyone keeping doing something that was so awful for 3 1/2 years??? The bad years came when I quit supplying her with dogs and she had to go buy them directly herself with her OWN money. Ireland wouldn't give her anymore dogs without going through me so she had to get them through an old supplier of mine in England and then had to pay in Sterling which made her dogs very expensive to buy. That is why she is pissed. THAT IS THE REAL STORY. Yes - I lost the case but we are appealing so she isn't all that rich just yet so don't get your hopes up too high people. AND remember one thing. While your slamming me for making a profit with dogs - most of you are doing the same thing. The only exception is I do it on a larger scale that is the reason I have an occassional problem. I am going to say it one more time... I do not sell sick dogs. They are healthy when they leave my yard and when they are exposed to a new environment sometimes they get sick just like a child does when they start day care. No different. Puppies do and will get sick and that is why I have a contract and I do stand behind my contract. If you would like to review my purchase agreement just go to any of my websites. Also, I would like to add that I am sorry for any puppy that got sick and for any heart ache that it may have caused it's new family. I really am not the callous person you all seem to think. These pups are live animals not stuffed toys. I certainly don't go around calling anybody a bad mother or father when their child gets sick so why am I so bad when a puppy that leaves my yard gets sick?
FOX 26 since you claim you did such a great job investigating this story - why didn't you tell the whole story? Did you even go to the court house and look at the records? That's right... your just interested in getting your story out first and getting the dirt - not the truth. Eventually - I will give my side of the story to the media but it would be to the station that tells the the truth.
