PuppyFind review: stay away from puppyfind.com 47

I was researching breeders of Cocker Spaniels. I came across Puppy Find and saw two puppies from a breeder in Indiana. I contacted the breeder and had a long conversation with her. I was asked for references since she said she was a reputable breeder. Two days later I received a call from the breeder saying I had been qualified to purchase one of her pups. Arrangements were made to meet at her location in Kokomo Indiana. I started to become suspicious when the breeder told me that I could only come at a certain hour due to her and her husband having to "set things up". I called several other breeders in the interim to see about their litters and I mentioned this. I was told that they were probable a puppy mill and needed to hide dogs before I arrived. I called the breeder back and voiced my concern about her operation. She became very quiet. And then proceeded to tell me to go to Puppy Find and look at all her good reviews. After reading that puppy find deletes negative comments it would not surprise me if all of hers were only positive. Currently this breeder has 7 puppies on Puppy Find from several litters with an asking price total of $6, 200.00. Name of breeder is Crescent Moon Cockers from Kokomo Indiana. Stay away from this breeder. The breed 7 plus female dogs and are a puppy mill breeder for profit.

Puppyfind.com should remove their service. They're nothing more than a service for Puppy Mill dealers who are too stupid & lazy to earn a respectful living requiring a soul & a skill, and who would rather mass-breed or travel to the Mill states, pick up cheap litters, and sell them for profit. Either way, you'll find that 99% of the advertisers on this website are trash. We have several in S.E. Michigan who are being heavily investigated (yes, you too Linda, Terry, Stan, Deborah, Carla, etc...). No self respecting breeder who's goal is to produce a quality, healthy, breed-specific puppy would advertise on puppyfind.com, or meet you in a parking lot, or an empty house, or refuse to show you the parents, or require cash only with no paper-trail.

If you want a healthy puppy, contact the AKC for a qualified breeder with at least one parent on site. Write a check and require identification of the person you are dealing with.

Better yet, save a life and adopt a shelter pet. You will find every breed and age under the sun at your local shelters.

Puppyfind dictates what you can say in a bad review to a breeder and that breeder can take that bad review down also, as noted a letter from Puppyfind:

Hello,

The documentation has been reviewed and your review for Ellen will be reactivated, but it will need to be rewritten to exclude any statements that are your opinion or not supported by documentation.

You will have to address each dog separately in your review because they were not purchased at the same time, and will only be able to post what was on the vet report.

For the first puppy you will have to include that at the initial vet visit the dog was presumed healthy, after 3 days the dog was treated for kennel cough, at 6 days was diagnosed with pneumonia, and after 3 months was diagnosed with demodex mange.

For the second puppy you can include that the puppy was treated for an upper respiratory infection and after 25 days was also diagnosed with demodex mange. You will also have to include that the contract does not cover bacterial infections.

Below is your original review. Please go over your statements, make the necessary changes, and submit your new review. If your review has not been resubmitted with in 60 days of this notice the case will be closed and your review will not be posted.

Review: After getting two puppies from Ellen Roberts, both puppies have had very bad cases of kennel cough. one puppy kennel cough went into pneumonia and the others has lasted 5 weeks with antibiotics from the vet. they both now have been diagnosed with demodex mange. Ellen Roberts puppy contract is a joke! These puppies are only 5 months old and they have all these problems. If you are a buy beware.

Please let me know once your review is posted so I can reactivate it.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

my family was searching for form name last year and located a web service with a huge forms library . If you are interested in ACA-02I-01 as well, here's a ACA Litter Registration

I encountered this lady in norco ca in 2016 and bought a sick puppy for 1400 dollars. Not sure what to do about it. Some assistance would help [protected] is my number my name is Nicole.

I also bought a puppy from Monqiue Matthews. She claims that it is a purebred Shiba Inu, however, I was never provided proof of registration. It looks like a mixed dog. In addition she gave me an unverified copy of her medical records. To add insult to injury, she told me that the dog had a hernia. I asked her to give me the medical records for it but I never received it. I knew I should have seen the red flags: 1) she met me in a parking lot and not her home, 2) she wore a wig and glasses to hide her identify, 3) she pressures you to pay while you're still deciding, 4) she never answers the phone, only likes to text, and 5) uses fake names like Katy, when Caller ID shows Monique Matthews. The next day, I called to return the dog, but she refuses to communicate with me now. After reading what she has done for the last 7 years in scamming people, I called the Norco PD to report her. They told me that she has a court date in June 2017 and hopefully, the judge will put her out of business and she goes to jail for fraud.
