Complaint Review: Grassy Holler / Wallander Kennel/ Jason and Gail Wallander

Jason Wallander of Grassy Holler Kennel. also known as Wallander Kennel, accepted payment in full of a puppy listed on the internet with a several pictures emailed to me.  After payment I was informed I could a different puppy when I come to get my puppy, but that puppy was not available after all.  When I arrived there were over 75 dogs crammed tight in cages and pens. There was little protection from the snow and cold.  We were shown a 6 month old that had sever coughing, mange, and her ears were swollen shut with infection.  They were so infected they were warm to touch.  Jason offered her to us for an additional $100 and we declined.  We did not want to purchase a dog that was not puppy and had such bad health issues.  Then Jason informed us how he had shot a beagle on his property and had been in trouble with the USDA for doing so.  Then he told us the only thing he learned from that was not to shoot the dogs on his property and laughed.  It was later that he said he had no need for her that she was worthless to him because she was too sick to breed with the mange.  He then said we could just have her for free cause she was of no value to him and he did not want to be anything to care for her.  So we took her.  Then when we wanted the puppy we paid for or our money back, we were told no.  We were offered 1/2 what we had paid and told that since we took the sick dog they did not have to pay us back.  The have two different websites and two different PayPal accounts that use and they will send you different puppies than you pay for.  I did even see pics they had taken from other breeders online and posted on ads on hoobly.com.  BUYER BEWARE!!!
