Secret Garden Pomeranian
Reviews and Complaints

This breeder, Ania Schelde, will go to great measures and extremes to protect her "perfect" rating as she says. She had done nothing but fool and mislead buyers into her scam in which she practices. I have a right to share my experience to the public- that's the fact of the matter when you own a business. It is not slender when you are writing a review to caution others, before they get roped into buying a puppy from Secret Garden Pomeranians. It's ironic how 'Secret' is apart of the name- everything about the inner workings are a secret scam, hidden from sight until you dig deeper and delve into separating the facts from the fictions ways, Ania Schelde, operates her business. There is a google review posted by me and there's an account with my same name modified, apologizing for the review I wrote. The kind of shady deceitful ways this breeder has is shameful. Shame on her. Wow, that is all I have to say- Wow.

Pippi is wonderful and no credit to YOU. She came to me and found solace in a caring home unlike where she was. I have two different veterinarian doctors at different clinics that have both stated the same- YOU knew about Pippi's patellas and you sold her anyway. SHAME on you, but thank god Pippi came to me. You speak like she is a human being- you did not bore her into this world you crazy woman. YOU are not the kind of breeder you portray yourself to be- you're a phony and a scammer. You say I bring forth weapons? Why don't you stop with the crutch and stop telling my to grow up. Why do you say this? Maybe because I have more knowledge and wisdom than you and am half your age? Ok, fine so be it you bitter thing. Pippi came to me calm mannered she really wasn't outgoing - FACT of the matter. She is very smart and intelligent; again, of course she is from the time spent with me. You're fooling yourself. You are sick minded. I would ruin her legs and then thousands of dollars to have them fixed!?! Are you crazy? Take what I said and spin it how you want. You deserve everything I said and more. When someone is as unruly and dishonest as you, of course I'm going to defend and expose you for what you are. Some things are factual in life and yes, some are hard to grip. You're in denial and are negligent as a breeder and do not know how to conduct yourself. And, that is an outright LIE- you never said anything about her patellas. You can keep responding all you want. I am done. I said what I had to say. You are not reputable. Pippi is precious because of ME not YOU. Get it straight. It made my stomach sick that Pippi had to go through such an invasive surgery like that. If you look in the mirror everyday and can face yourself each day in denial of your unethical practices then so be it. You have to live it with and karma comes around sooner or later in one's life so good luck with that.

You know what, it was around Pippi's 3 month checkup that it was documented about her knees. And yes, Ania I did mention it to you. I did not know the extent of it until Pippi was older that she clearly had a disability. Pippi has never jumped off anything. Since she was a puppy she would never exert herself, she obviously knew she did not have the mobility to do so. I am only so glad that Pippi ended up in my arms because I will make sure she gets the life she deserves. You only wanted her to be seen by your vet because you claimed I could get her procedure done at a cheaper rate. Well, you're 3 & 1/2 hours away, to put it simply. You changed your number not from me but from someone else who has reported you to be unethical in your practices. I said what I wanted and had to say for the sake of Pippi and I let it rest. I did not flood your phone or continue a pointless argument that would go unresolved anyway. Recheck your facts before you come at me for only trying to help my companion. You can tell whoever you want to not sell me a puppy; I have the only dog I could ever want. She's the most precious puppy I have ever had. And, yes, I did call you a rat and told you to go back to the gutter you crawled out of because you insinuated that I did it to Pippi. How horrible for a breeder to have that frame of thought. I come from a higher class than you and you should be ashamed of yourself. That's the fact of the matter. And yes, you told me, "I will have to have a Pippi one day, " well I'm sorry you named yours "Pipi" Pee-Pee. Poor thing.

Spin your tales all you want. I'm done with you.

Also, to inform you, my Pippi Pendle has had a successful surgery and thankfully she got away from you. I have the text of you chastising me saying I could have created this. You know better, after all, you stole Pippi's name and used it for one of your own dogs. Copying is the best form of flattery.

For reference, yes, I am, Amanda/Mimi Nelson. And to correct my last sentence, to clarify "Pippi's expense"; what I was simply asking was, if you would have been willing to reimburse me for some of the purchase price for Pippi. As I have found out, that is what most reputable breeders will do. I have spoken with many breeders who all say the same. Thank you.

No, what you are doing is covering yourself. I have never threatened you. You took it upon yourself to further the discussion we had and create what you say I did to you, a form of slander. What you are doing now, is slander. You told me you would take me to court if I slandered you. I have screen shots as well of the unprofessional words thrown at me from someone who owns a breeding company of a breed you claim, is your pride and joy. What a joke.
To put it simply and to reveal your unethical practices; you brought not even a 2 week old litter to a home because the mom of the litter rejected them. You left them to go out of town and lost the whole litter. A litter mind you, that I was hoping to get a puppy from that I put a deposit down. That is not caring for what you claim is your pride and joy. If you'd like, I have that conversation too confirming this, from you. Someone who is diligent makes sure those puppies are being cared for, supplemented and monitored 24/7, around the clock. But instead, no, you left them in the hands of who knows who, probably someone who is lacking in their practice, just as much as you are. Do not threaten me with screen shots as I still have them as well.
You claim my vet checked Pippi out and said she was in perfect condition when she was a puppy- this is a condition that Pippi has had since she was born and developed. Over and over I am told that this would have been caught by the vet who did her screening at 8 weeks of age. You can claim and say all you want. I never threatened you for anything because you chose to not stand behind your dogs. I simply told you that you that I do not want to invest in another Pomeranian after having Pippi's diagnosis; a genetic disposition of both patellas, confirmed. You chose to give me my deposit back for a puppy I never got because it passed away under your lack of supervision. There was no hesitation in you sending me my refund which you state you do not issue- why? Maybe because once you saw the imaging, which was clear as day you could not argue the fact that her Level 4 luxating patellas would need surgery on. It is an optional procedure, but I am one who really does love her pets and will do anything to give them the life they deserve. If I did not act on this while Pippi is still young, it was heavily brought up that she would develope arthritis at a very young age and would cause fragility in her. I have pride and joy in my pets. You breed them and are about the dollar. Period.
You over and over scrutinized me when I brought the information forth from what two different veterinarians told me. I did not ever expect you to pay for the surgery, but instead put forth an offer to just maybe, refund half or not all of Pippi's expense.
