Purchased Irish Wolfhound Puppy on 4/14/08. Puppy has a severe over bite, her bottom jaw is 12 mm shorter then her upper jaw. Her bottom canines are going into her hard palet of her upper jaw. Breeder did guarantee no genetic abnormalities, but would not return any correspondance back to me when I brought the over bite to her attention. After several attempts via voicemail and email she returned my email. She informed me that she was not aware of the over bite and she would need to see documentation, I forwarded the documentation from the specialist along with the estimates. She informed me that if she was aware of this over bite she would have had the puppy euthanized. If I want to send her back she would send me a replacement puppy when she has her next breeding in 2009.

I stated to her I did not want a replacement puppy but if she were to give me a partial refund of my purchase price of 1000.00 for this puppy. There is no reason why this puppy would need to be euthanized. I have not had any correspondance back from this breeder at all. I went back to the puppyfind website to find out that she has another litter for sale and unlike she stated we are still in 2008 not 2009. Most reputable breeders would ask that you spay or neuter your current puppy and would send you a replacement puppy. This was never offered, nor has she returned any of my requests for a partial refund.

Purchase price of puppy 1000.00, estimate to fix over bite 1000.00 - 1700.00.

I purchased a puppy from Charlene and 6 months went by and the dog started having seizure. With exctentive testing the seizure were set off by a congenital liver problem.

With a great big vet bill in hand I was told that she has a liver problem and has to take meds everyday of her life. With the meds are not that good for her also. But that is all that they can use to controll her seizures.

We purchased a beautiful Boxer November 2, 2004 from National Breeders Associaton in Middletown, NJ. From day one he was aggressive towards us and got along horribly with all other dogs. We were told he was 8-9 weeks old, until they conveniently wrote 11 weeks on the papers as I was paying for him. He had kennel cough when we brought him home, however, National Breeders Assn. said this was to be expected. Our dog also had diarhea for the first six months of his life. We tried every food out there; hard, soft, organic, expensive, cheap, and nothing seemed to help very long. Finally a vet told us he probably had a mild case of Cholitis.
