Petite Porkers are liars! she says she has been raising pigs 17 years...well NOT!! look at her oldest pics, she begain in Oct 2011. before that she was running a  puppy mill named Big Block Kennels. her real name is Lovadee Ann Shoults, marriage proof below. her husband goes by Everett Cobbin...they both ran the puppy mill and even were arreted in 2009 for forging health papers on sick animals. just google Ann or Everett Patton in teh rip off search bar and it will bring up about 8 people who they scammed several years ago.  Too much heat was on her so she started using the name MAGGIE GATLIN and opened the website www.petiteporkers.com

note that all of her business license still say Lovadee Shoults...she is hiding behind aliases to hide her nasty, shady, past....my guess is these pigs aren't really hers, she claims the farm she gets them from is her grandparents, and her parents live 20 miles away...think again, her whole family is on facebook adn she is from Indiana.

I purchased a pig from lovadee as well. She sent him to canada without proper bloodwork. We had to wait a month to see if canada would euthize or let us send him back for bloodwork. They said i could send him back and he could come back with proper bloodwork. Maggie lovadee was being shadey about paperwork,as i got nervous with her having my pig and posting shes never home i started to investigate. I posted my findings to her on facebook. I had done a reverse number look up and paid for her personal records that did infact all come up about her criminal record and her husband. Her sister apparently has the same dog,wedding ring,mole on chin and husband as her. Although she has brothers and no sister listed on the  acground check i did.She posted back on face book that most of those facts are true but its her sisters past not hers. She also told me she would pay for clover to be shipped down and back and claimed the vet would cover it as they did bloodwork on the wrong pig. I was out about 2,000 ontop of his purchase price. She charged me for his original flight which in the contract was supposed to be in purchase price.when she sent him back to canada she didnt do her export form,again.Since hes been back hes had a moody agression and is about 16 in tall and about 2.5 feet long. Not very mini. The pigs come from some creek nearby. I knew then she was a scam and told her so. I have a folder very thick with documents and pics to prove my claims.

Once again, this is ANOTHER LIE!! It's very sad if people actually believe the sad soul that wrote up these false RipOff reports! Just because Maggie has only had a FACEBOOK for 2 years, does NOT in ANY way mean that she heads only been raising micro pigs for 2 years!!! That's so dumb just in the statement!! I've only had Facebook page for 3 years!!! Does that mean I'm only 3 years old??? Or that I didn't EXIST before then!?? Um HELLO? Facebook wasn't even that big of a networking site until a couple of years ago!!! Everyone used to use MySpace!!! These reports and allegations against Maggie Gailtlin are completely FALSE!

 Can you please stop posting these cruel untrue statements. Do you have anything better to do than mar a good womans reputation. Maggie is not a bad person in any way possible. She has never been rude or unhelpful once since I started contacting her over a year ago. The pig I purchased from her had incredible health, beautiful skin and hair. She ate like, well a hog and was just so happy. If she came from a mill she would have skin problems and probably mental issues which obviously she did not. Maggie loves her pigs, all of her animals. She loves to share their stories and upoad hundreds of pictures and videos every month. This cruel comment is basically only causing a very wonderful person and her family to suffer. No one should even think to believe this. You do not even need to believe this comment. Just contact her references on her website, message her customers on facebook. There are so many I am sure if she is as cruel or untrustworthy a person, I am sure someone will be able to confirm this. Though you won't find this person, because Maggie is not a bad person. She is extremely helpful and is more than willing to offer anyone advice even if they did not purchase a pig from her. I know of a few people who have pigs from other breeders who receive amazing advice from her. So stop with this abuse and learn the facts. Maggie is a wonderful breeder and person.

Again like I messaged you and even put my Maggies info on here contact me with your issues and I would be happy to help.  As for the ppl you are talking about as Lovadees family again she has not spoken to them in over 10 years and the guy you are saying is her brother in the picture chad is NOT even her full brother have you never heard ov blened families. What you think the only kids a cpl can have is in their own marriage?? Blaended families they are all over the place but the fact that you are dragging more and more ppl into this that have nothing at all to do with it  including children is insane.  

The fact is you come on here and post all this instead of actualy contacting the ppl in questions and trying to resovle your issues at hand.  That is hatful, mean, cruel and vindictive what kind of person does that, not one interested in finding the truth or in receiving any compensation for a dog you may have purchases that became ill.  There are many families and children involved in this and our other buisnesses and you dont even care who you hurt or what lies or misleading stories you post.

You are truely out of your mind if you think one person is able to do all the physical work, run mulpiple buisness, a farm and keep up with all our employees and customers. DO you think you will find a resolution on Ripoff report?? this is a site set up for ppl to get revenge on others you can make up and post what every lies you want on here.  They do no research on any story put on here.  Yet Petite Porkers is accedited Maggie Gatlin is Accedited with the BBB and you could easily contact them file a reprot and they would mediate to help you come to a resolution.  

But NO you want to post half truths talk to ppl that are not even involved with this part of our family and actualy do not at all get along with the person you say you spoke to.  You are not trying to get any type of resolution you are only trying to drag ppl threw the mud because you are upset with ONE individual you were involved with years back.  This is a sad situation and I honestly do not know what all you went threw but once again I invite you to contact me and we can try and help you the best we can.  www.petiteporker.com petiteporkers@yahoo.com or call me 832-891-8420

GOOD TRY LOVADEE!! You are very good with name changes and quite the Liar...so what you are saying is You and Maggie are sisters!!  typical con-artist! Anyone can look at your personal fb page of LOVADEE PATTON SHOULTS and see it is you! what is Maggie..your identical twin!!!  you are something! We contacted Tylena--your ONLY sister, as stated in this picture she tagged you in (Lovadee) and your brother Chad. don't see any kid named Maggie hiding in the background! and your parents have pics of YOUR kids on their page. 

nice try. but your nastyness is coming to the surface. we have been tracking you for 4 years...we know a little more than you think we do! there was a MOB of people after you and we won't stop just because you changed your alias!  you owe people alot of money and sympathy for the dying dogs you sold us. and the pig people you are trying to CHARM by telling them you have been doing this half your life are in a cloud! you were just a bartender in 2010.....remember!

Im the owner of Petite Porkers and this post is lies

Hi! Im Maggie Gatlin and the person filing this is very confused and after my sister Lovadee.  That is fine however their issues with Lovadee and the kennel she use to run does not have anything to do with Petite Porkers. My family has had these pigs now for over 30 years and regardless of the length of time we have had the DBA (2 years) does not change the fact we have owned the pigs for longer. And we have tons of proof of them from actualy customers to vetrinairians who have cared for our animals over the years. They are taking my sisters past and grouping our entire family together which is not right at all, posting images of my nieces and her birth parents (who she has not spoken to in over 15 years who live up north). I Maggie have messaged the ppl posting this and they have our email and phone nubmers yet wont respond or contact anyone, Petite Porkers is acredited with the BBB yet they wont contact them either... but instead want to post here were they can post misscued ideas, lies and or generaly mislead ppl.  Everett is my Husband not Lovadees and yes him and I use to help my sister at her Kennels by the way was a boarding, grooming and dog training center they also boarded horses there and the SPCA came all the time (never an issue).  Montgomery country Animal control brought dogs for her to foster there...she rescued far more dogs then she sold it was NOT at all or even close to being a MILL. It was a tragidity a real tragidity my husband Yes was arrested, what they are leaving out is that there was a video at a vet clinic of a man braking in and they thought it was my husband becasue of ppl like this who lead them to that opion. He was arrested, we went to court for months only for them to finaly show the video and everything was then dropped because it was obvoiusly NOT my husband in the video (see how ppl can be mislead). But instead of seeing that for what it was a terrible injustice for a man who had up till then never even had a speeding ticket, they are rubbing it in to hurt a good person. A man that was wrongly acused why didnt they post that?

Petite Porkers has a very long list of references including some of the Top vetrinairians in Texas, over 50+ customers who would be happy to speak with everyone regarding their experience with us and even our personal banker is on our reference list and we have several shelters and rescues who bring us abandoned pigs all on our refence list.  We have visitors to our farm all the time but if you let the person posting this say it our address is an empty lot.  WTH!!  I do not know exactly who this person posting is but I invite them again to call me and I would be happy to talk to them and Lovadee and try to get to the bottom of all this and help them the best I can.  However Petite Porkers has nothing to do with Big block kennels except that we the owners are related by marriage and blood. ovadees only role here is book keeping and assisting with careing for the animals from time to time.  Feel free to contact us at with any questions and concerns we are happy to help anyway we can  www.petiteporkers.com  petiteporker@yahoo.com  832-891-8420
