Complaint Review: IMOGENES SHOW DOGS

I purchased a show quality fawn male to be used for stud from Imogene that had health issues. I just accidentally found this site and noticed Imogene's name so went on to read it.

I was looking for a Beautiful Healthy fawn frenchie with a really nice head and came across Imogene's ad, in dog fancy magazine i believe is were i saw her ad. I gave her a call, how nice she was on the phone.

She informed me she had a returned male under a year old. A crazed women in California that starved the puppy and said a few vets checked out this dog and said he had elongated pallet.She said she did not know what they were talking about she didn't have that in her lines so she took him back and had him vet checked and put under by her vet to have his elongated pallet examined. He passed with flying colors by her vet and was for sale as a show quality potential stud.

She would stand behind him and guarantee him 100 %.
So i trusted her and sent her the Money for him. As soon as he arrived i told her he spits up Flem all the time, she told me to keep him on Bil jac dog food that is refrigerated. I did and it did nothing to help him.
In the mean time a couple months went by and i sent her a $400 deposit on a female puppy.She sold the puppy i sent the deposit for and would not return my deposit or my calls or emails. I had to send a freind that was passing thru her state to her door to ask for the refund she would not answer the door but shortly after i did recieve a $400 refund in the mail.

The Male i bought from her around April 2002 died suddenly with no warning Oct 2003. autopsy showed his lungs filled up with blood due to a small hole that leaked fluid over time to eventually kill him.
My vet said it was congenital. I called Imogene,She was sorry but would not stand behind her dogs.
I noticed a women named Lisa In California had a similar sounding problem with one of Imogene's dogs that she returned.

I wonder if i bought the dog she returned with health issues? How come Imogene's vet passed this frenchie's exam? And how come she wouldn't stand behind her dog when he died from abnormalities?

Shouldn't a decent breeder stand behind there dogs with health issues! NOT all people are trying to get something for nothing. I just wanted a healthy Frenchie from a decent breeder. Dooped Twice By Imogene,Lisa from N.C
