Krossroads Kennels review: dog breeding 2

I urge anyone who is considering purchasing a puppy from this person to do their research and speak to other people who may have purchased puppies from this person. I hope this review helps even one person avoid the heartache that my family has experienced.

My mom purchased two puppies from this person in the past two years and both have passed away.

The first puppy, Pouncey was just a year and a half old. After several attacks on another dog and a diagnosis of rage disorder the dog had to be put to sleep. Only after the dog had been bread did the breeder come forth with the fact that the dogs father and some litter mates had been put down for exhibiting symptoms of rage disorder. This person also mentioned that her mother said never to say the words "Springer Rage" out-loud.

The second puppy came to my mom in January of 2018. She had significant health issues including a seizure disorder and mange. One night in January 2019, my mom came home from work, found that Bell was unwell, called the vet and within 30 min Bell had passed away.

The puppies that came out of this pair are also riddled with health issues. One has an undescended testicle and one has bi lateral kidney dysplasia - a death sentence. When Pouncey was diagnosed with rage disorder the proper contact was made with each person that bought a puppy for breeding purposes. They were advised that the puppy should not be bread and that would be refunded their breeding rights fee and compensated for spaying and neutering or they could send the dog back. When the breeder was advised that everyone had been notified in a responsible manner, she said, let me ask my mom what she does, I know she's never said anything about rage disorder to people before Incase they get scared.

Please do your due diligence and ask for references. There are a ton of health issues being kept from families and that needs to stop. I know that everything looks great on the various facebook pages but there are very shady breeding practices being driven by financial gain. The dogs that get bit by snakes? Not the case, they had to be put down because they exhibited signs of springer rage.
