I am writing this after seeing someone else had the nerve to write a report about Linda Young Roberts doing them wrong.I felt compelled to briefly explain my short story of how she did me wrong as well. I was on a waiting list for a puppy from her for a very long time. This was due to many of her dogs having miscarriages as well as some being still born this is what she would tell me. First sign I should not have sent a deposit. Second after talking to many breeders they had told me that they do not ship puppies at 8 weeks of age as this is very stressful on a puppy and that they wait to 12 weeks of age especially in winter.I asked her about this and she said this is not a problem for her puppies and I had nothing to worry about.Second sign I should have backed out. When my puppy was 8 weeks old she shipped her via airplane in a snow storm . Which I had asked if we should wait as it might be to hard on the puppy alone in a kennel in a cargo area of an airplane.She said that it was ok as they had heaters on the airplane.
Well they are not on all the time! Regardless the puppy was sent in an airplane in a snow storm at 8 weeks of age and when it arrived it was not healthy acting.I called Linda Young Roberts to let her know that the puppy arrived and that my wife and I were concerned as the dog was very lethargic.She told me that this is how big breed dogs especially Neapolitan Mastiffs act.She assured me everything was fine.She guaranteed it.Well within 1 week of having this puppy it died and 2 of them days the dog was in the care of the veterinary hospital.All the while we were in constant comunication with her ; she was promising to make it right.Even stating she was going to replace the puppy at no cost to us on several different occasions and in emails as well.
After having a necropsy done it was found that the puppy had Canine Herpes and that this is passed on from the mothers.It also becomes dangerous to puppies if there body temperatures become to low It also has a tendency to affect the mothers ability to have puppies.All the signs that as a breeder you would hope someone might be aware of.Yet she was unaware of what this was or the affects it has on breeding and puppies.Needless to say she backed out of replacing the puppy and not standing behind her word or her health gurantee.This is only being written because it still hurts me to this day how some people can be so untrustworthy in a business "they love." Thank you to the other poster who had the gumption to say their side of the story on Baby Blue Kennels and Linda Roberts Young as it helped to give me some kind of satisfaction that it may help others in their decision of whom to buy a puppy from.
I recently bought a female Neapolitan mastiff from Linda of Baby Blue Kennels. I live in Ontario and after contacting her I went through a very thorough application process in which she asked every question a breeder could ever think of and even some I never expected to hear. I've known 6 other people that have all had the same extremely amazing and life-changing experience. Also the canine herpes virus can be passed on through feces the puppy may have come into contact with, so if Linda tested all of her kennels and it came back negative I could understand her position because you need to be even more careful that your pup hasn't come into contact with any other dogs poop for quite some time, and seeing how you had your pup shipped to you there's no way of knowing how many animals may have crapped in their carriers on the airplane to begin with.

I don't believe a word of this!!!

Nothing but good things to say
This is so opposite and unbelievable I have purchased 2 dogs from Baby Blue and one lived till 11 years other 9 but had full breeder support.
She stands behind her dogs and believe these reviews were written by other breeders.
I asked Linda she has never had canine herpes and never sold any puppies to Alabama.
Please check the facts
