SheltieSmiles

dark parking lot, cash only. Never see parents, water starved.

Congenital serious problems. Mine just diagnosed with liver shunt an almost certain death sentence in the next few years. Unethical and lying breeders for profit only. No regard for the long term problems due to their lack of caring about ethical breeding.

Texted me in error called me a *** I have and will continue to push this puppy mill out. I had to pay 2000.00 cash with nothing in writing.

Sheltie smiles produces under socialized poorly bred dogs who are water starved aggressive hyperanxious and now known to have liver shunt an expensive condition or death for the dog. She lies called me a *** in a text. As long as they get their money AKC could care less about these breeders or the breed.

She is unhinged and a nasty person. Don't buy her puppies you encourage their poor breeding.

I don't go on social media at all so who she was talking to I don't know.

I will continue to do what I can to put them out of business. I owe this little dog that.

This will be my 3rd puppy from this family. The original 2 pups have been the joy of our life: happy, loving, so social, and friendly.

One has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The newest addition to the family will be in a few weeks.

I visit the home to see our puppy. The breeders are so loving; the puppy environment is all one could hope for.

Bought one of their puppies in 2022, this in Oregon. Had shelties for years sweet intelligent dogs.

This pup had never been handled starved for water all the time STILLworking on re house breaking her. Insisted we meet in dark parking lot at night and cash only. They still have their add up doubtful they paid taxes. I have spent thousands 2 thousand for her and vets trying to get help.

If my latest work with her doesn't help will have to place in shelter . This nightmare has been heart breaking for me, I lost my 14 yo service dog and companion in November. So sweet well trained. She was supposed to help but has not.

They are selling high priced pups who are nothing but puppy mill. Don't buy from them and perpetuate this cruel practice.

They meet in dark parking lots want cash only never see the parents. So people and dog aggressive very unlike the beautiful shelties who were responsively bred by breeder in Washington.

Would have went to her, but she stopped breeding shelties. I train service dogs and spend hours training her but she will never be a dog to walk with much less be a service dog. She is going to be a house and yard dog only. I got this sob story about all the people in her family having cancer, Will have to get another dog to train as service dog my walking companion.

I have not brought to a rescue or shelter because my belief is you get a dog for life, she would probably end up being put down by somebody else. Dave and Jodi Ryan only do this for the money with no thought to the dogs breeding that takes skill and much work as the reputable breeders will tell you.

Dpaid 2000. had to meet in dark parking lot, never saw parents.

Nightmare puppy had 3 prior shelties beautiful 2 became my service dogs. Intelligent, sweet natured. Have worked for almost 3 years with this puppy Can't be walked, had to restart house breaking barks growls and snaps at anyone but myself and I.

Had her to vets nothing helped. Definitely a PUPPY MILL.

My male sheltie was 8 weeks old when I paid $2000 for him. He has been kicked out of two puppy training sessions.

He is hyperactive and is impossible to calm down. He requires sedation to be trained.

I also believe they are a puppy mill seeking to breed and quickly get rid of the puppies for money.

they insisted on meeting in a parking lot did not see their place or dogs . I am senior disabled and feel they scammed me just wanted a sweet sheltie like I had I should have known better they couldn't wait to get their hands on the money yet would not answer me when I wanted to return the puppy and get my money any reputable breeder would have done that.

My son really pushed me to do this I believe they are a type of puppy mill that's why they don't want you to see their place. My hard earned savings gone. This puppy will require extensive training my others did not.

They are unethical people. Don't fall for their scam!

I bought a purebred Sheltie puppy online and had to pick him from photos provided at birth. I picked him up when he was eight weeks old and discovered that his tail was deformed.

I was told that I should have noticed the defect from the photos provided. I did not. I had planned on using this dog as a stud dog but because of the tail defect I will not, as it is not good to pass a defect like this on in a purebred dog. As I felt I could not breed the dog, I told the breeder that I should not have to pay the full price because it included breeding rights.

I asked for a partial refund and was told that there was nothing wrong with breeding a dog with a defective tail. I did not receive any refund.

In retrospect, I believe this breeder is a puppy mill and they are not concerned about the quality of the dogs they sell. I would never purchase a dog from them again!
