Complaint Review: Ellen Schwab AE's Kennels

September 2016 I bought an adult dog from Ms. Schwab. She only told me my dog needed surgery because she ate something she shouldn't have, what she didn't tell me is my dog needed 9 inches of intestine removed and was in renal failure at one point. When I brought my dog home she had coccidia, whipworms and giardia; all highly contagious. It took about a year to clear my dog of all the parasites and infection. By then, significant damage was done to my dog's intestines, colon and bowels. My dog required surgery to remove the affected organs and repair all the scar tissue left over from parasites and infection living in my dog's body for so long. I've spent over $4000 restoring my dog to the health expected at time of sale. In all fairness, her dog's have lovely temperaments and a good workers. It's her ability to be forthcoming with pertinent health information in times of need and sanitation practices that are severely lacking. If you choose to buy a Cattle Dog from her, a health contract is a must. Her reputation within the Cattle Dog community isn't positive, but her dog's are quite nice. It's the human behind the dogs that's the problem.
