Breeders Club Of America

Purchased a golden retriever here. Came from an Amish puppy mill. The mill gets horrible reviews. I love my very very expensive puppy... But she came with diarrhea. I brought her home on a Saturday night. She had diarrhea immediately. Called vet on Monday morning. Tuesday went to vet. Giardia was diagnosed. Three rounds of drugs. Still there!!! Imagine!!! BEWARE.

Finding a puppy that best fits your family or your needs can be difficult. There are so many things you need to take into consideration when purchasing a pet to bring into your home. Breeders Club of America made my experience a stress-free, fun, and learning experience. I purchased my puppy Louie, who is a male Chihuahua. I was hesitant at first because I heard the Chihuahuas could be very vocal. Visiting Breeders Club, the trainers were all so very helpful and explained to me that dogs are only vocal, overactive, or any other behavioral problems from lack of training. Breeders Club assured me that they would walk me through step by step how to correctly care for my puppy and train him with their FREE DOG TRAINING SERVICES. I couldn't believe it, I have never heard of a company offering FREE lifetime dog training. I can tell you I wouldn't have been able to do this without their help.

I never had a dog before and when my kids talked me into getting a puppy I was overwhelmed and terrified at the thought. After contacting some breeders and visiting a few shelters and not clicking with finding our perfect match (human or furry), my teenage son found Breeders Club online and said that we should check it out. We spent at least two hours there with a very patient staff (shout out to Beth) answering question after question and helping us figure out which breed would do best with our family. We chose the perfect puppy for us and we then spent another hour going through everything we would need (and not need) for caring for our new puppy.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE AND PLACE!!! Bought out cute, sweet, soft coated wheaten puppy girl. She is precious and beautiful. Very nice staff (Beth) and front desk girl as well (Larissa). Can't wait to spend so much time with my new puppy! Super excited! Thank you Breeders Club of America!

I recently went into Breeders Club kennel looking for a puppy. I was told that they didn't have what I was looking for and to come back the following week. I have heard this before from other stores while I was looking to get a puppy. But I went back anyway just to see if the girl actually knew what she was talking about. When I walked in the second time they had exactly what I was looking for which is exactly what the young girl by the counter told me they were getting. I only went back to see if that puppy was actually coming in because the staff of girls were all very nice to me.

I recently purchased a puppy from Beth and had a great experience. The place was clean and the puppies looked happy. Beth took her time to help me pick the right puppy for my lifestyle. The front desk girl Larissa was great too. She helped me get started with feeding and housebreaking my puppy. The staff was patient and really took their time explaining everything to me.

I purchased a puppy from Oscar ** (phone numbers **) at the end of January this year. He advertises in K9Stud and PuppyFind.com (username: kikioschihuahua). It was a very shady experience and I thought we had been taken by a scam all the way up to the time when we picked up the puppy. When we picked up the puppy we were so happy because he was so cute and because of this, I thought all was worth it and I submitted a positive review.

Our yellow was born on 3/6/15 and we brought him home on May 1. In September he was diagnosed with a torn ACL, which we reported to the breeders, Diamond Sky in Grass Valley, CA on Sunshine Meadows Trail. After more x-rays, it was found that both "knees" needed surgery. We were guaranteed a year's warranty for the health of the pup, but after continually keeping the breeder apprised of the situation and suggesting they contact other owners to have the dogs screened, they never contacted us. Our Vet, Dr. Mike **, at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital, CA, concluded that the causes were genetic. The pup was $800 and the first surgery was $3500 and he'll have the other knee done when this one heals.

Four of our previous dogs have since died twelve years ago. They keep changing their name. Please, these poor dogs are from Puppy Mills.

I was in the process of purchasing two puppies from this breeder. I lost my job, and was wanting to make arrangements, but the breeder decided to sell one of my puppies to another buyer, and kept the other one for herself for breeding purposes. At the time of requesting a refund, she tried to justify her reasoning to keep the funds due to limited space for holding the pups, including the deposit. I was upset; that she decided to keep one of my pups to breed her, and sold the other. I have filed an complaint with the BBB, PayPal and in process of filing a police report.

I gave them the opportunity to buy "over time", as in payments, a beautiful baby bordeaux. They never paid, registered the puppy with AKC papers saying she is a show potential puppy with every intention of breeding her to death, then scammed AKC into a DNA test to say their Sire was the Sire of the litter. They are total scumbags! No dogs are health tested, no anything. Good luck to anyone that buys a dog from them.

In mid January of 2010 my husband contacted Carol S., owner Gabelle Kennels inquiring about the purchase of a female Westie puppy. Pursuant to his phone call she indicated that two litters were due on or about February 17, 2010 and February 21,2010, as displayed on her website. Futhermore, she indicated that although two female puppies were already promised to other homes, if a third was born into the litter, said puppy would be available for us to purchase. We then forwarded a check to Carol Sutton in the amount of $220.00 which represented one-third of the total purchase price of $650.00 for the puppy. At this time Carol advised us to write the check out to her because she didn't have a checking account for Gabelle Kennels. She also stated that she only has a "cell phone" to contact her which is also displayed on her website.

On April 1, 2010 we purchased an 8-week old male Morkie from Ms. ** for $550. While the puppy was not vet-checked, she did guarantee his health. Several weeks later, we took the puppy to a vet for an exam and vaccinations. We were told he had a serious heart murmur. To understand the pup's health issue, we had to get him examined by a veterinary cardiologist, which cost $530. At this time, we learned that the puppy has a severe congenital heart defect that is only corrected through a procedure that opens a defective heart valve. Without this procedure, the puppy will die; and there is no guarantee that he will survive the procedure.

First off, I love my sweet baby more than the world and would not trade her for anything! I know she has a wonderful loving home here with myself and my husband and will take care of all her needs. I purchased my yorkie April 2009. During the past year she had kennel cough, skin infection, teeth removed, and two very bad knee caps that required surgery. This has cost almost $10,000 (also had pet insurance which does not cover much, by the way).

Susan and I had a contract for me to purchase a Yorkshire terrier puppy from her for $1,000. I was supposed to put $500 down and pay cash for the rest when it was time to pick him up. I wired her the money, and after giving her the confirmation code, she turned around and informed me that she had changed her mind and would not be selling me the puppy. And that since her deposits are non refundable, and I signed the contract stating such, I would not be receiving my $500 back. Not to mention the $637 I spent on the plane tickets to fly from Utah to Indiana, she is a horrible person and a bad scammer! Please don't purchase puppies from her in the future!

I purchased a Tea Cup Yorkshire Terrier on 1/16/10. On 1/21, I had to rush the puppy to a vet because he would not eat or drink. He was having trouble breathing and had a discharge from his nose. He stayed at the vet for the afternoon to receive IV treatments for low blood sugar. The vet claimed he was underweight and unhealthy and I should return him. He wrote a letter about the dog's health. This vet no longer wanted to treat the puppy because of his fragile state.

We purchased a 6wk old Gold-Rush golden puppy from Gold-Rush kennells in Princeton N.J. on 5-12-08. Over a year later, we started to notice how the dog walks with difficulty at times, appearing to be in pain. During an exam at the vets on 8-25-09, the doctor discovered the dog to have Right Medial Patella Luxation, grade III/IV. The doctor suggested we notify the breeder because he feels this is an in-breeding problem and the breeder should be aware.

I bought an AKC male Chihuahua pup from Robin **. She had brought the wrong health certificate. She was going to mail the correct one to me (I have not received it since she agreed to take pup back). I have learned that the pup is deaf, has a cleft nose, and a heart murmur. I do have a more detailed document, if needed. Robin said she would give me my money back. She does not have the money, so I am to wait until she gets it. It has been a week. I have had the pup for 2 weeks.

We purchased a "show" quality male rottweiler August 2008 from this breeder. The dog was welped on 6-14-08. We paid $2500. for the dog.

On April 10, 2009, I purchased a female boxer puppy from Breeders Association of America, Inc. Almost from the day the dog came home, she exhibited signs of being sick. Vomiting, lack of digesting food, she had something once that resembled a seizure and what was the most frightening was the dog's lack of weight gain. I was in constant contact with the pet store and the vet regarding her condition. At one point, the pet store paid for some testing to be done on her which of course came back inconclusive. But as the months passed, the dog's condition just kept worsening. For months, it seemed that me and my children were just watching this poor animal die a slow and painful death. On her last visit to the vet, which was July 11, 2009, the vet described her condition as "completely emaciated" and I was informed that she would need extensive diagnostic testing, which would be very expensive.

On April 11, 2008 my sister and I went to look at puppies from Breeders Association of America. I fell in love with a beautiful male Golden Retriever puppy. The purchase price they were asking was for $4,300.00 and We asked them if this was a show quality dog they said "no" and lowered the price to $800.00. We then asked them if this puppy was from a certified breeder and they assured me that he was and said that I would get his papers upon purchase. I bought the dog and have had him for a little over a year. We have been training this dog since we purchased him and to date, he still will not be disciplined. He continues to try to dominate the household even though we have taken him to various trainers and tried all different types of training. Further, within the past month, he has shown aggression problems with food. I took him for further training and this time brought him to Breeders Association for training with him. The next day, I fed the dog and he started to growl at me. When I put him in a sit position and sternly told him no growl, he turned and bit my hand, drawing blood from three fingers. I called the trainer at Breeders and she told me it was "just an obedience issue, the dog needs more training". I have two small children at home, 4 and 6 years old. They witnessed the dog biting me and are now afraid of the dog. I explained to them that the dog could not stay in the house and that growling and biting with food is a highly unusual behavior for a Golden Retriever. They told me that if I just trained him more that he would never bit again. I called my vet and explained to him the situation and he told me that if I did continue to train this animal that it might work but it would be a risk to the children that I would have to make a decision. The vet further told me that after looking at all the problems with training and dominence issues, that he believed that there might be something wrong with the dog from breeding. I called the Humane Society to see if they would take him and they told me that they could never adopt him out because he bit. I called the Shore Hearts Golden Retriever Rescue group and got a crazy lady named Lana Winter on the line who told me to "take responsibility for myself and put the dog down myself instead of trying to dump the dog on her." I was just trying to explore other options for the dog other than putting him down. Today, both my husband and myself spoke with the owner of Breeders Association and he told us just to train the dog more. When we told him that we wanted to have them take the dog back and we wanted our money back, he told us that he was covered by his contract and that it was our problem. We asked for information about the dog's parents and he told us that he "might be able to get us that information but he wasn't sure". I am going to have blood work done on the dog before we put him to sleep and if we find anything to suggest that the dog is inbred, we will be going to small claims court!

We purchased a male Boxer puppy on August 25, 2008 from Stagecoach Terriers. Upon our first examination with our vetirenarian, we were informed that only one testacle descended in the sack (cryptorchid)and the puppy had other numerous health issues; including but not limited to a double yeast ear infection,worms, intestinal overgrowth, jaw overbite, penal discharge, kennel cough, aortic valve stenosis, intestinal overgrowth and a bladder infection.

I worked with this broker to find a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. When he was shipped, he was sick. The health certificate that was sent with him describes a male cavalier, 4 months old. This puppy, according to my vet, is at least 6 months old. When received, he had ear mites, roundworms, and kennel cough. The receiving vet verified this and put him on medication. The following Sunday, I had to take him to an emergency ER clinic as he was coughing violently, passing blood and not responsive. He was diagnosed with coccasodis, kennel cough and dehydration. The vet there put him on an additional 2 antibiotics and oral medicines as well as a sub-q hydrotherapy.

I was looking to buy a bull terrier puppy. I was not sure if I would get my puppy if I were to pay over the internet. I started looking locally, got a number from a local newspaper and spoke to the breeder (who claimed she was). She told me she was a breeder and the parents were on premises so I went. I saw the puppies and the parents. All looked healthy. I spoke with the breeder, got the shot card. The registration papers were supposedly on the way. I paid her $500 & left. I went back twice so they could check up on their sold puppy and to get her papers, to find out I still haven't received the papers, and the puppy has Demodex mange. It was highly recommended not to be bred because this sickness is hereditary. It cannot be a show dog because no papers and now it has an overbite, another sign of bad breeding. Put it this way, she looks like someone weed whacked her while she was sleeping on a fire ant pile ...

I purchased an AKC registered yorkshire terrier(AKC REG #tr80404101) from Martina Harsch on 12/20/08...with a contract of health guarantee for 12months after purchase...I rented a car as I didnot own one at the time and I drove from my home in Rockaway Beach NY to Virginia Beach to pick up he puppy...I payed $2500 for her....she seemed to be normal and vibrant and active up until 3/13/09!

I purchased a female chocolate lab in January 2008. The dogs were adertised as AKC registered, when in fact, Ms. Herndon had not registered the litter's mother so therefore could not register the litter. We have had many conversations with her since that time and she has promised us that the paperwork is getting done and just takes time. Our dog ended getting pregnant with her first cycle and had 8 puppies in January 2009. Ms. Herndon was made aware of this and promised that we would have our papers on Nutmeg before her puppies were ready to go.

I purchased a puppy from this breeder a year ago March 23rd. When purchasing this puppy I was advised that he will be AKC Registerable. There was a contract between the breeder and myself which specifically stated that the puppy is AKC Registerable. The Breeder Michelle Black (also goes by her married name Michelle Lai) did not have the registration papers at the time of purchase, however, she advised me that she will mail it to me. The Breeder never contact me. I contacted the breeder by email in June and she responded that the paperwork is still being processed and she will keep me up to date . I never heard back from her. I have attempted to make numerous calls, left voice messages and sent emails and never received a return call or response to my emails. It is my understanding that the New Jersey Lemon Law Requires a seller/Breeder to produce the Registration Paper within 120 days of purchase. It is a year and seller/Breeder has not produced the papers. Additionally, Breeder clearly breached her contract because she failed for produce the papers as specified in said contract. A copy of this contract is available upon request. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter as seller failed to abide by the NJ Pet Lemon Law and the Contract.

We purchased a puppy from the Breeder's Association of America on January 29, 2009. The owner and salesperson at the store guaranteed that the dog was from a reputable breeder and the price initially started at $3,000. They eventually dropped the price to $800, and we went through a financing company to pay for the dog as well as owed the store $299.00.

I purchased a MaltiPoo from Anna in July of last year. Anna assured me that both the mother and father of this dog were hers and that she bred them personally. Since then, I have had nothing but problems and the dog was sick from the get-go.

we purchased a 9 week old labrador on 1/27/2009. when we viewed the dog, its stomach was large. the breeder said she just ate. he then put her on worming meds for 4 days. within 8 days our dog had a fever of 104 and large stomach. 3 days later she bloated out to the size of a soccer ball and we took her to the dog er. she was diagnosed with bloat. we took her to our vet after she spent the night in the er, and he operated on her. he reduced her stomach by stapling. russ krivak and amber sky labradors will not respond to our plight. we saved the dogs life and he is providing no assistance after written request for the same. he claims a congenital life threatening issue had to be brought to him within 7 days of purchase. we paid 1000.00 for the dog and another 800.00 in medical care/surgery within two weeks of purchase. and we have to feed her canned feed--21.50 for 12 cans --2 cans per day. i would like to know all of the places i can register complaints, including the akc, humane society, breeders networks, etc... we also expect some compensation from the breeder.
