Purchased a puppy from Briarwood German Shepherds in May of 2016. Puppy was supposed to be AKC, and I paid for the papers. Paid $1600 plus airfaire, via money order. The day she shipped him, "oh by the way" she said she hadn't gotten dew claws done, but would refund $100, and oh yea, he has a small hernia. The contract came with the pup.
She called a week after we got him to see if all was well. From then until I sent a registered letter in January 2017, I was unable to get ahold of her.
I sent her the paperwork stating his neuter, dew claws, and hernia repair, expecting that I would get his registration paperwork. We then found out that he had severe hip dysplasia. I again sent a registered letter with copies of x-rays. She sent an email that she would call me on a specific day. Nothing. It was over a month later, that she called.
Stated that she would get me another puppy. I didn't want another one, that I would have to pay shipping with no guarentee that it would be healthy. I told her I would just take the money back. She said ok. That was in February, it is now October.
We have since found out that our dog also has epilepsy.
I have seen on other complaint sites, that other people have had similar experiences over several years. From severe dysplasia and epilepsy, to not ever getting registration papers.
I have requested that she at least send me the registration numbers of the parents, with no response. I did contact UKC and AKC, and found that they have no record of her kennel submitting any puppies for registration, recently.
