They are still selling mass puppies

Original review Jan 04, 2025

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.

Asked early to return puppy and get my money back, when she was still a puppy. I got told "we don't give money back but will take the puppy for free" A reputable breeder would have done both. Do not buy from them help stop puppy mills like theirs!

Original review Dec 30, 2024

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.

Hyperanxious and difficult to train.

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.

I too have one of their puppie extremely hyperanxious aggeress. Compain to AKC about them.

Just a puppy mill, I may have to put her down cant even take her for a walk. Vet gave me trazodone to calm her down. There is no smile in their sheltie smile. The trazadone gave her seizures .

Obviously brain genetically unsound. I empathize with you. I have reported them to every where I can.

We have to get breeders like them OUT of business. Thank you too for leaving a comment.

I paid 2000. for a puppy thinking it would be like the shelties I had for 20 yrs. she was not people friendly when I tried to contact them to get my money back and return the puppy no answer from the

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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!

Bought a dog online and was never told about his tail deformity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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!

I have put my poc complaint but want to add this puppy now is losing the hair around her eyes. This is another congenital abnormality sent me this poor me text never answered me at all when I tried to contact them when I knew the puppy was not right.

Abunch of lies intheir text, I kept it.There are a lot of avenues to put puppy mills like theirs out of business I am working on them. For the love of shelties.
