Complaint Review: BK's Chihuahua's - BK's Toys Of Ashland - Brenda K. Mattson - Ashland Wisconsin

She stole the name. The other breeder is just BK, not BK's Chihuahuas. Not the same person. Not even close.

I'd say 37 bitches and 19 dogs (56 total) is a puppy mill. Include multiple litters a month, poor quality Chihuahuas and charging extra for AKC papers, I think that explains it. It costs $25 and then $2 per pup to register a litter with AKC, that doesn't add up to $100 that is being charged if you want AKC paper work.

The BK champions are not from this lady, she doesn't show and her breeding stock is horrible, would never make it in a conformation show. Have you seen how many pups she has sold? She IS NOT a reputable breeder. There is no way she spends time with each dog every day. She is in it for the money, not the betterment of the breed. It is obvious she doesn't care about over population with the amount of litters she has. It's disgusting.

In reference to Brenda Mattson's rebuttal. Why have you, Brenda Mattson, Not posted a rebuttal to my Ripoff Report about you and your so called breeding practices? I posted my Ripoff Report about you but you have nothing to say because I have proof of the unhealthy dogs you sell, one of them is still living with my family!!! She is finally healthy no thanks to you!! If you are such a concerned breeder why did you not return any of my calls or emails? You did not care!! Amy Crandon, WI

It's funny how the people that make up such nonsense and rubbage about a dog breeder actually never get themselves into a car and go visit the breeder first hand, if they did then they may be very pleasantly surprised!! I know what has been written about me (most likely by someone that I've never even met and certainly not by anyone who has ever been to my home personally) isn't true, not a single word and I feel that if this person had such a strong hatred for me that they could at least tell how they have come to such a horrible conclusion about me. That only seems fair, if you are going to be so nasty then please back up your words instead of trying to trash me and then to hide behind a super animal friendly nickname...why not just keep it real? If you had a REAL problem, ask me to fix it. If you are just anti breeder, then go to a shelter. If you want a purebred dog, then come to my home or to the breeder of your choice. It is such a cop-out to say that a buyer can't tell the difference between a good breeder and a bad one, if you want to see what kind of breeder I am, then step away from your computer and come meet me any my dogs!!! But please don't talk badly about me if you've never even met me or my dogs and if you have, then don't hide your identity. I'm human and if I've wronged you personally in some way then tell me so I can fix it, but if you are just trying to hurt my name and my reputation by slandering me then SHAME ON YOU!!! As a note to other people that may be reading this, please be free thinking intelligent humans and always check out the breeder that you intend to buy your next puppy from. Feel free to ask for references or talk with their vet and for Pete's sake, go to their home if you are within driving distance or if you are too far then actually call the references because a good breeder won't have anything to fear... I know that I welcome people to my home if they wish, I ALWAYS HAVE, AND I ALWAYS WILL. Last note, I just want it known that I am VERY proud of my dogs and I feel that I've done a very good job with raising happy, healthy puppies and I know that I've made far more friends then enemies through the years...I've had so many repete buyers that wouldn't consider going elsewhere for their families newest addition, so I must be doing something right. I can sleep at night knowing feeling pretty good about myself. So, between me and my Maker, I think I'm doing o'kay. Btw, for those that wonder about my housing for my animals, here's the info: My adult breeding stock all have indoor/outdoor pens with full sized attached runs and doggy doors. My buildings are both heated and air-conditioned. My dogs take turns getting to be the "house pets", on any given day there will ALWAYS be between 5-15 adult dogs just getting to be lazy pets. My babies are all clean and played with daily. I feed Prism Premium food and I keep everyone current on their de-worming, vaccines and Vectra 3D. Plus I have hired help...what else do you want to complain about? Just ask if you have a concern and I'll do my best to answer...fair enough? Just please don't judge me by the words of someone that hides behind scary words like "mill" instead of meeting me personally...don't just lump me within the confines of what you feel a breeder might be, instead please call me or come for coffee and meet me first hand. 715-682-3313.

I can not find any other complaints here on ROR, or by typing any of the above into a search engine. Several CH. BK's came up, but that could be a different breeder/kennel. Can you direct us somewhere that there are verified/verifiable or reasonable complaints, or to complaints in which she obviously ripped someone off, before this report? Any other complaints period? You don't state what makes you believe this. No reasons or examples, which are solid once all the details are known. Complaints like this are quite often posted by another breeder, or someone whom was denied a puppy, or some like situation. Tell us why you know for a fact she is a mill in your opinion. What does she do wrong concerning her animals or her puppies? How is she dishonest? *This is a text book PUPPY MILL* is quite the interesting statement. There is no legal definition of a puppy mill. Do you mean she keeps hundreds of dogs in tiny wire cages stacked on top of each other, riddles with health problems, denying them medical attention and breeding them anyways without thought or care to the dogs, the puppies, or the new parents? Or something else. I didn't see any dogs on the pictures on the site which indicated that. All appeared well groomed without the signs in the legs and feet indicating this. All appear to be well fed, and in decent condition (of course, this does not actually have to be the case). I just am interested in whether or not there may actually be a problem here, or whether this complaint is personal. *just my opinions*
