Complaint Review: Lebenshunger Kevin Schmersal

On February 2, 2012 we drove the 2 hour drive to Bangor, to get our German shepherd puppy from Kevin. He seemed like a nice guy and was helpful. When we got there we drove down his driveway and was greeted by a loose German shepherd running at our truck. Dogs were barking off the hook. A horse was trying to get water out of his bucket but it was all frozen. My uncle couldn't Handle it so he went back to the truck. We talked to Kevin for a few minutes, then made us stay outside while he went into his beat down barn. We expected to see about a 20 pound 9 week old puppy running out to meet us. No. Instead we saw a tiny 6 pound dog that looked no older than 5 weeks. He was shivering and was cold. He had food pellets covering his feet. Kevin said, "I didn't have time to give him a bath" he looked so scared. We said "look you said $2000, is that final?" then Kevin said, "well he is dirty. I'll sell him for $1500 including tax." we felt so bad for the puppy, we couldn't leave him. Thank god we didn't. We brought him to the vet. The vet was shocked at how small he was. He weighed in at 7 lbs. we had him for a week and a half. His b12 vitamins were so low. We gave him a shot every week for 8 weeks. The vet said he would have died if we left him there. Also Kevin hasn't given us our akc papers. And it's now may 2012. We contacted the attorney generals. Hopefully we can resolve this. Kevin has been very disrespectful to me. Also has been avoiding talking to me about where our puppies papers are. Just recently we found out that he was arrested, and heard rumors that he hasn't had a kennel license since April 2011. I very much hope that i can come to terms with kevin. I just want my registration. Kevin, if you see this, email me. I really want my puppies papers. We can settle this without going to court. I just want the papers. Email me.
