Complaint Review: Teresa Fugeman Brookeann American Cockers

Breeder has issues with the two dogs she breeds repeatedly every time female comes into heat over the last few years. Issues such as Cherry Eye, which the sire has had numerous surgeries for and passes on to offspring often. Issues like aggressive behaviors, however this could also be from the breeder removing puppies from the mother too early. If there are any issues with puppies this breeder will become defensive and make threats and accusations that the issue is the buyers fault and never her problem. When you approach her with an issue she will go as far as insulting you, threatening you and publicly humiliating you on social media.

My first puppy had no issues and so the need for reaching out to her never happened. It was my second puppy that I simply asked about her agressive behavior and asked why she took the puppies away from the mother at only 3 weeks old.  She denied it until I presented back her own message to me telling me that she did in fact take them early. She then slandered me on Facebook warning other breeders not to ever sell me a puppy. She then blocked me and refused all communication which violates my health guarantee. 

My puppy had never gotten the chance to be socialized or taught by her mother and she was aggressive at the early age of 12 weeks. At 15 weeks she bit someone and I now have to pay for training to stop it.  The breeder has blocked me and will not talk to me about anything relating to the health and well being of my puppy. I have a health gauarantee and it is a breach considering I cannot make contact.  This is her typical behavior and not the first time she has taken this approach. She has done this also to a friend that bought the littermate to my puppy and ended up with serious eye issues that needed surgery at the age of 15 weeks. 

Other buyers have complained about gross misrepresentation and outright lies she has told them. Complaints are also about not getting health guarantees and AKC paperwork for months and being ignored when they contact her.  Other cases of Cherry eye from this sire and dam of these litters are now showing up more frequently yet she will not stop breeding and will not inform any buyers of the issue that runs in her lines.

This breeder has buyers that have no issues with her at all and speak highly of her puppies....that's because all is well until YOU HAVE AN ISSUE!
