All of these posts a ridiculous! You all make it so plain to see that your uneducated with being a pet owner! A puppy has a 7-14 incubation period for illness if it was indeed something contracted from the facility. In the first post the dog was received AFTER 5 WEEKS! Get real! All the other posts are the same way, a puppy is just like anything else living in this world. They go through stress that leads to diarrehea. Also FYI Giardiasis (Giardia lamblia) and Coccidia (Coccidiosis) is a parasite that all puppies carry and it is most likely to outbreak when the puppy is stressed and it's immune system is suppressed.

This is much like the scenario of going to the hospital when your sick etc and end up leaving only to have contracted staff infection. It's ridiculous that any of you would even post about a dog having the poops and then blaming it on the breeder. SHAME ON YOU!

I repurchased our siberian husky from a friend whose children didn't want to take care of her after 5 weeks. We already own another female 4 year old husky and wanted a friend for her too. After reading all the complaints, I'm upset we didn't know about this before getting her. She was sick with diarrehea and a small umbilical hernia and had to be put on meds. We have her for a week now and the vet has said her hernia is closing up, but she still has diarrehea, but it is beginning to get better. The trouble is the breeder, Debbie Shilling Mason, has not responded to my friendly phone calls or email. I just wanted to change the ownership names so we would receive the proper documentation regarding registration papers. After reading today all the complaints, we believe we will never receive any papers ever. I feel so sorry for all those folks who lost sick pets from her. Even our vet believed after examination of the puppy and the accompanying paperwork that she came from a "puppy mill". It's about time someone put this women out of business for good. Isn't there someone who can do this??? I'd love to get on the bandwagon for that.

I regret I saw these postings only after we went thru the purchase of a puppy thru a website - at the time we did not know the identity of the breeder because the website company would not reveal it. After the deal went very bad and we not getting the puppy weeks after we paid for it, I researched on Internet and found the breeder. Not only she sells sick puppies but she lies about puppies that already has been entered into sales contract, if she can find another buyer to sell the puppy for higher price.

The broker websites do not screen the breeders in spite of what they claim. For them it is just a deal to make their high profit.
If you do buy from a broker website, insist on knowing the breeders identity and have as much as documentation and vet reports if possible before you pay in full
