I purchased a Shih Tzu puppy from Della a couple years ago. I have been in Della's kennels & her home. I was very please with the puppy. We had to drive 6 hours to pick up the puppy. Della was very profecional during the entire process. As a breeder myself Della took some time to talk to me about some questions I had on worming my puppies. She was kind enough to share with me how she treats worms in puppies. Today I use the same practise and all my puppies now go home worm free. I found Della's entire set up very profecional and I was green with envy over her amazing kennel. I would say that Della is a great breeder that loves her dogs very much. I have never witnessed a puppy mill but I can say 100% that Della is NOT running a puppy mill not even close. She loves her dogs & really takes time with her clients. Im not sure why all these people are targeting Della, maybe they are just trouble makers. In the day and age of shelters I think breeders should stick together and support one another. I would not hessitate to recomend Della and her puppies.

Her Lies just keep rolling off her tongue,as the PLOT THICKENS.My Breeder friend told me to send back the NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT, as DELLA MONROE was a PROBLEM waiting to happen,BOY WAS SHE RIGHT!!! CHECK ANY DOG/PUPPY SITE ALL ADS SAY NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.
it'S almost a year later and she is still,HARASSING,THREATENING,& STALKING me.If I am the horrible person she says I am,then she should be HAPPY the TRANSACTION fell thru. BUYERS & SELLERS BEWARE.

Your crooked ,dishonest, lying issues can hurt a lot of people!! what you did to me filing this lying report on me is about the filthiest thing you can do to someone.
You dumb a*s, I posted to the public that I finally got my money back. Scroll back and read the rebuttals I wrote. I had to go through hell getting my money back. And your lying filth extorting GOOD people is unexcitable!
You didn't want to give me a clear vet check on a puppy ,before I was going to drive thirteen hours to pick up the puppy from you and this is what started this whole mess!
Now ,if you would have told me from the beginning that No vet checks , you get what you get from me, I never would have dealt with you!!!
Now, On Facebook a fellow breeder wanted to know who you were. I told them just what you did to me. They can make their own decisions from there. Any one that gets involved with you gets burned! You had several dogs end up in rescues( I can prove it!!!) You move around all the time in hiding, so people can't find you. You called the Gainsboro police on me because tons of people rebuttal the lying post you made and you were not in control!!!!

It has been brought to my attention this evening as in the past few months that DELLA MONROE has told numerious BREEDERS/DOG PEOPLE that the REFUND check that I gave her for the NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT on the puppy I REFUSE to follow thru the sale on,BOUNCED at the BANK. I AM HERE TO SAY DELLA MONROE RECEIVED every penny of the NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT BACK. SEE BELOW COPY of SIGNED CANCELLED CHECK with DELLA MONROES SIGNATURE.
It also has been brought to my attention that DELLA MONROE continues to SLANDER and harasse me,and it's been almost a year since I REFUSED to finalize a SALE to her. It is know by every breeder/dog person that at anytime you feel the sale of a dog/puppy will NOT be going to a good home you can STOP the SALE,which is what I did.Since Feb 2012 I have had to file a POLICE REPORT against DELLA MONROE,for VERBAL THREATS and Harassment.THERE is always 2 sides to every story,DELLA DON"T you think it's time to move on?

Fact Number 1
Since in theory anyone can say they are a Senior AKC adviser when they don't substantiate their "title" with any support documentation to the same. I too, am a Senior AKC adviser since I have owned a dog for all of my adult life and I too am an expert and have successfully owned and raised all of my dogs with the most recent being a puppy that I purchased in December 2011 from Della Monroe (AutumbreezeK9).
Senior Adviser AKC Falsehood # 1
Pretty clear by reading all this that these people are animal abusers and their friends are getting on here to continue the abuse and lies.
Fact # 2
As a Senior Adviser AKC you have never seen the dogs I own,never been in my home to see the quality and care that my dogs get each and everyday and remember one of those dogs was purchased from Autumbreeze K9. The puppy I purchased in December 2011 was seen by my own veterinarian who is also a past breeder and commented about the quality of the "stock" of this puppy and yet you think you have the right to call me an abuser.... it just may be you who is the abuser masking yourself as a Senior Adviser AKC.
Senior Adviser AKC Falsehood # 2
Nobody has that many dogs and isn't a puppy mill. Thats what a puppy mill is. They dont let that many little dogs run around free. The dogs are obviously all kept in cages. If you keep your dogs in cages all the time you are an abuser. If your dogs have defects on a regular basis you are an abuser. If you force your dogs into shows you are an abuser.
Fact # 3
You didn't mention in your response when you made a on-site visit to Autubreeze k9 ? Did I miss that fact, or if the "truth" be known (which you seen to have a problem with) you have never seen the facility, have no knowledge of how the dogs are taken care of, the living conditions that the dogs have but yet you are confident since you are a Senior Adviser AKC that it is a " puppy mill"
This is what I saw with my own eyes both times I visited Autumbreeze K9 so I guess that make me the expert not you. They have a state of the art housing facility, the adults dogs are not caged, they have a fenced in exercise yard not a pen, every dog was healthy, groomed, feed and very socialized. I played and held both the dam and sire of the puppy I purchased and sat on the floor of the owners home and played and had feed their other dogs.
It too bad that you didn't use your time and efforts to help prevent the tragedy that took place in April in Allegan, Michigan (see web link below) instead of spreading lies and false accusations about
Autumbreeze k9.
I'm just glad that I didn't come to you for advise as a Senior AKC adviser and their are quality breeders like Autumbreeze K9 still out their despite the efforts of yourself.

Exactly HOW does pointing out BS make me an abuser? Oh wait it doesn't. Neither does supporting GOOD breeding practices. Well at least not to anyone who hasn't drunk deeply of the kool-aid from a certain animal rights organization. I have never abused an animal in my life. Hell the current fuzzy PIMA is spoiled rotten kitten who was left on the street in her carrier by her last owners.
If you are gonna sling dirt do it correctly. Not ONCE do I stick up for anyone clearly doing wrong, not here nor on any of my other replies(if you had half a working lump of gray matter you'd see that). The only "sticking up" I have been done or close to that was on another complaint that was at best vague and at worse FALSE.
While I did say she may or may NOT be a mill I did point out she wasn't close to a "good breeder" by the standards of REAL dog fanciers.

Ill be reporting this kennel to the ASPCA animal cops and they can go do a check on them. And they will. Im guessing they have a lot to clean up from the looks of things.

What you just did was cold and heartless. I was telling you how I stand behind my customers in certain situation. The puppy that had the Michigan State report on it was totally out of any ones control. This was total fate and nobody's fault And You know it. The other puppy that I hand delivered to Louisiana was neglect (sugar dropped) and never willing to sell them another puppy. And you know it!!
Bottom line. Am I compassionate for my people? Yes! Speaking of my mix breeds, you want to get a maltese also for raising the sugarbear. Your exact words to me. As for paying me back you had a fit because I wanted a clear vet check prior to driving 12 hrs to Tennessee. You sent my 50.00 via paypal back because you did not want to follow through!
As for the NON Refundable deposit. I have a email saying you will only give my money back IF you sell the puppy. Didn't fly with me.
So I call you on March 4th informing you I finally tracked you down and got your address. WOW ! I got my 300.00 Non Refundable on March7th CERTIFIED. Take note the date march 5th the very next day after my phone call and the zip code!! You are in violation with the tennessee laws with the harassment and slander you have imposed on me over the internet. I have my lawyer on this. So you just need to leave me alone!!

I decided not to sell DELLA MONROE a Puppy, because of what Della had told me HERSELF, had happened to 2 puppies she had recently sold,both ended in death before these puppies were 12 weeks old.I choose not to put my puppy in harms way.Della Monroe came on this site and stated that I would not get a Health Certificate/HEALTH CHECK for her,false I offered that the very first time we spoke.
If that was the case then DELLA MONROE received a refund thru PAYPAL for no reason? Della Monroe was told I would refund the NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT when I sold the puppy in QUESTION.I did exactly what I said I was going to do. DELLA MONROE has her NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT in hand,sent to her by CERTIFIED MAIL that she signed for,and has cashed.I choose not to put my puppy in this situation it was my choice! Seeing that Della Monroe has MULTIPLE BREEDS as well as MANY DESIGNER(MIXED)BREEDS, I was not comfortable knowing this..AGAIN it is my choice,and I can live with it.WHY CAN"T YOU?

Since you seem to be spending a fair amount of your personal time on this website I suggest you use this site to look up Rip off Report: #768725 "BearPath / Mystic Aussies Bad genetics, bad placements, intentional breeding of dogs with health issues Internet" and use your knowledge and good intentions for the industry to correct this breeder instead.
Thanks for implying that I am not a genius like you to" read the standard and comprehend". I still stand by my decision to purchase from Della Monroe and Autumbreeze K9 and it is me who has to live with my decision not you.

Jim-
I noticed you didn't mention whether you saw the OFA(Cardiac and Patellar luxation) and CERF(the big three, everything else is optional) reports on the parents of your pom's parents. And take note I did say just because she didn't have the information listed didn't mean she hadn't done them.
I also never stated I had all the facts about her kennel and my OPINION was based on the information on HER website. You don't like my opinion? too bad. It doesn't take a genius to read a breed standard and comprehend what is written right there. Maybe you and everyone else jumping on me for pointing out FACTS as far her dogs' and how the fit the standard, should actually read them. Partis are a DQ in Schnauzers, she's got a couple Shih Tzus under the standard, hell she even goes so far as to use the term Imperial on her facebook photo album for sindie. Here is what the breed club has to say about that.
Yes she states she has a five year guarantee. As long as she stands behind it 100% of the time, then good for her and great for her buyers. That was never an issue raised by me.
Don't have a website because currently I don't breed. And for qualifications oh let's see 18 years of growing up with two show breeders in the family(Cockers and APBTs), a thirst for knowledge which has led to reading multiple breed books, breed standards etc. Talking with other breeders and dog handlers. Again it doesn't take a genius to read the standard and comprehend.
If you want talk, fine we'll talk. I'm gonna ask about very specific things you should know IE Health clearance results if not have copies on hand.

Kris G,
I challenge you to call me- I gave you my name and cell in an earlier post so you can get your facts straight and questions answered once and for all.
As I stated previously, long before I purchased my Pom from Della Monroe I spoke to her vet about the dog, saw a heath certificate on the dog and also had a copy of the breeders 5-year genetic heath guarantee provided and I also signed a wavier giving the breeder the option to request copies of annual heath records on the dog from my vet. Just because you don't see these documents on her website doesn't mean they do not exist or aren't being utilized by the breeder,
Kris G. it's time for you to admit you don't have all the facts, and stop harassing this breeder. Since you profess in your responses to have all this wisdom on her dogs and business operation why don't you share with us your what your credentials are and a link to your website so we can critique you.
I will be waiting to see what your credential and website are and talking with you on the phone, It's time to put-up or shut up Kris G.

Nope don't know Sandy at all.
Now your comments
1. None of the breeds she produce come anywhere near $5000 for PET quality pups. Hell even show potentials cost that much. Her prices that I saw on her site are well within the NORMAL price range of the breed from a good breeder.
2. While pictures are not the best way to evaluate a dog. Even a remote understand of a breed's standard and actual experience with well bred dogs does give one an eye for things as far as structure. As far as SIZE and COAT color though - she is breeding dogs who are out of standard. i'd love for you to prove me wrong. the shih tzu standard calls for 9lbs at minimum. Not 7. A max of 16 NOT 12. The Mini Schnauzer standard calls for "salt and pepper, black and silver and solid black." NOT Parti colors.
3. Show dog look-a-likes implies she's actually producing show quality dogs.
May
1. Nope the Pom standard still calls for a fox like expression. Yes the pom was bred dog year ago. Well aware of that fact.
2. True breeders who know their standard and are in it for the breed don't breed faulted colors.
3. Again don't know Sandy. I posted because the statement was that Della was breeding superior stock. Can't do that just breeding your average pet and dogs with faults against the standard.
And for the both of you I noticed neither one of you even addressed the issue of health clearances. Good breeders have no problem making this information avail on their websites. After all anyone who isn't an impulse buyer will care to know these things. I am not of course implying she hasn't done them, but that also doesn't mean she has either.
Websites can make or break and impression of a kennel. Let's put it like this, IF I was ever in the market for a well bred Pom, Shih Tzu or Mini Schnauzer, I wouldn't look twice at this kennel. I know what to look for in a breeder and nothing about that site says to me, contact this breeder and learn more. Yes you can't know everything by a website and pictures, but they can make or break things. All it takes is being an educated buyer.

First and foremost Sandy, you have never seen her facility so you can not judge what her facility is like. Which while we are speaking opinions, here's mine: Her facility is immaculate! The dogs are well groomed and very healthy. Also, I have a question? Is it possible that those puppies with the cleft pallet had a birth defect, just like a human can have for no apparent reason. So to blame her for that is absurd. Secondly, before meeting Della I have emailed her back and forth for weeks. She answered every single question I had in regards to the puppy I would be purchasing. She even provided be with references from other people who had purchased her pom's as well.
I brought Chloe home on February 12th and I took her to the vet to insure she was in perfect health. Which she indeed was, as a matter of fact they could not get over how well taken care of she was.
So therefore I find your report to be completely false. I still keep in touch with her at least once or twice a week. She is always available to help me if I have questions about Chloe and she never hesitates.
Lastly, you should be ashamed that you have this much free time to write something so horrible about someone, with out the facts and proof! Maybe you should take your time providing vet checks for your puppies to the future owners. I would love to know how you treat and take care of your puppies and what you facility looks like.
Please look at the pictures I have of my adorable perfect healthy little girl!

If you have been to Della's home to see her dogs you could make comments like you have to discredit her dogs if they were true which they are not. If you know anything about dogs and breeding you would know that taking pictures unless they are professionally done and possibly touched up is very hard to do to get the true likeness of the dog.
Also, trying to get good quality, healthy dogs to breed or as a pet can be a nightmare since there are so many dishonest breeders out there both backyard and show people!! Even show people rarely find good quality dogs of their own stock to put in the show ring. Trying to breed to the standard can be very hard when you have dogs that have been bred down to fit into the "new" standards. Show people have done this for years and have changed the standards to how they see fit. Best example is the 30 lb, foxy faced Pomeranian which was the normal dog for many, many years. Today the standard is a much, much smaller dog without a foxy face . The "normal" dogs are in the background and also are the other breeds people have bred in to change the look and size so getting a consistant look to a Pom can be very hard. What hasn't been done is breeding in the healthy stock as well as much inbreeding hence all the health issues you can find with Poms as well as other purebred dogs.
Colors have changed over the years too which brings in the "exotic" colors. There is nothing wrong with these colors. Many times they are the healthier dogs since they haven't had all the inbreeding the dogs have had with the more popular show dogs colors - i.e. orange Poms.
So to make statements against Della for the dogs she has is just not right. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Breeding for a very healthy, great personality dog can be hard. Can we breeders have health issues with our litters due to their parents' breeders lying about health issues, etc? Yes! Do we ethical breeders like Della have the parent(s) spayed or neutered and find them a great pet home so the dog can live a wonderful life and not continue breeding? Yes! Beleive me I know first hand this doesn't happen with many breeders. I have bought many champion sired dogs only to have health issues that have cost me a fortune! Have the people I bought from (Show people) continued to breed the same parents and have more health issues that have continue to try to hide? YES!!!! Granted there are good, ethical show people/breeders but they are not the norm.
People who love dogs and want a good healthy pet are lucky to have a breeder like Della to go to. There are so few good, ethical breeders left. I am sure you are a friend of the person who originally started all this slander against Della or you wouldn't have written. If you think what she (Sandy) does as a breeder is right and ethical then you certainly aren't thinking straight!
The point we, the people who know Della and think very highly of her, are trying to make is that Sandy's slanderous report is FALSE!! Since it cannot be removed it can do much damage to an honest person. This just isn't right.

Not that I care to get into a pissing match with you as I can clearly see that you must be friends with "Sandy", but I have to disagree with many of your statements. Internet pictures do not anything justice and your claims of unconformity are obviously biased by your unprofessional opinion. I certainly hope you are not an AKC judge as your tone may indicate that there may be a judgmental problem in your arenas.
Additionally, there is no mention of producing show quality dogs on any of her advertising that I have seen as Della has chosen to improve the stock of pets as the majority of customers seeking purebred dogs are not able to spend $5000 to acquire a "pet" from a showdog stock. Thank you Della for being conscientious of those of us who love "show-dog look-a-likes" without having to pay the showdog price.
While I support and encourage freedom of speech, libil is is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit likely resulting in monetary damages.
I hope that "Sandy" understands this and discourages her friends from continuing this shenanigan!

She does NOT breed to improve the breed nor does she breed "superior stock.
How so??
-She doesn't even know the correct standard for the Shih Tzu breed. Her site - "The suitable size for a shih tzu is 7 to 12 lbs. " The standard set by the breed club - "Ideally, weight of mature dogs, 9 to 16 pounds."
-3 of her Shih Tzu's are not to standard.
-She uses the term "imperial" in reference to one of the dogs on autumnbreeze's FB page
-Her poms are a lil over the place when it comes to conformation
-All of her Mini Schnauzers on her page are of improper coat color.
-No mention of what health clearances she does and their results
-No mention of showing her dogs not that I saw anything on her page remotely show quality.
She breeds pet quality dogs. So again, she doesn't breed superior anything and breeding faulted/disqualified dogs doesn't improve anything.

There is NO way that a person that has never visited Dellas home, could be so convinced of her own lies to post this nonsense!
As a past and future customer of Autumnbreeze K9s I would like to set the record straight. Della is somebody who breeds in order to improve the breed, breeds only superior stock, and isnt in it for the money. Her dogs are healthy [mentally and physically], she feeds top of the line human grade food, gives above and beyond grooming care and never stops learning or teaching. Her full-time job is caring for her dogs and it shows in the way that they greet you when you visit her home. I spent hours around her dogs without more than the initial Hello bark. Her home was clean and so was every dog in it.
Best of all, Della stands behind her puppies for life. Those cleft palette schnauzers (Mickey and Elsa) wouldve had no chance had they been born in a puppymill. Della spent weeks tube feeding those babies and researched every option in caring for them, including surgery. Mickey was given to a great family and will likely live out a perfectly normal life and Della and her husband fell in love with and decided to keep Elsa. I have never known a breeder to go to such extremes, many would have had them euthanized.
It is unethical breeders that refuse to take their pups to a licensed veterinarian to be checked that allows these kinds of traits to get into the lines of dogs. Vast majority cant be trusted to tell of problems with a dogs genetic history and honest breeders fall victim only to learn of problems when a litters fate is in their hands! It is a shame that there arent more honest breeders like Della out there as we may be able to weed many of the genetic diseases out there in the dog world!

First, Sandy has not made a personal visit to the Autumbreeze K9

describe this breeders establishment as a backyard Puppy Mill which it is
clearly not. I have personally visited the facility twice.

Monroe from Autumbreeze K9 of Crystal, Michigan.

Let me tell you why !
First, Sandy has not made a personal visit to the Autumbreeze K9
establishment in Crystal Michigan and I fail to see how Sandy can accurately
describe this breeders establishment as a backyard Puppy Mill which it is
clearly not. I have personally visited the facility twice.
I am filing a rebuttal response to an alleged complaint posted by Sandy in regards to her experience with Della Monroe from Autumbreeze K9 of Crystal, Michigan.
After researching multiple on-line breeder websites in Michigan as well as talking to the breeders over the phone. I recently purchased a Pomeranian puppy from Della Monroe (Autumbreeze K9) in Crystal, Michigan.
Why I (and you should) choose Autumbreeze K9?

I have known Della Monroe for a few years. She is one of the very few reputable and honest breeders left in this country. She takes excellent care of her dogs ALWAYS!! Nothing but the best of everything for them. When you get a puppy or dog from her you know everything upfront - no lies, no deceit!! I would highly recommend Della to buy a puppy/dog from at any time.
The person writing this report (Sandy) is the type of breeder you want to stay away from. I have talked with her (Sandy) about a dog she had for sale but knew from the conversation to stay away from her! The information she gave me told me she doesn't care what dogs she buys for breeding. She basically will breed anything not knowing the medical history of parents, etc. After researching her online I found many bad reports about her (Sandy). She is the bad breeder and puppymill not Della! She (Sandy) also has a history of writing false reports on her clients she has issues with.
She should give Della her money back ASAP! The only reason the sale didn't go through was because Sandy would not take the puppy in for a Vet check before letting him go. Every decent and honest breeder has their puppies checked by a Vet before letting it go to a new home!
It is too bad this person has written this report on Della. Just totally unfair! Before people are allowed to do this there should be a check on them and what reports are written on them before allowing them to post!

Shame on the person that put this report on here. So unprofessional. Della is not a puppy mill. She has a very clean, licensed kennel and all the animals have shots. She breeds three breeds of the dogs. You can call her Vet for reference of her animals care. Stop and she her anytime, make your own judgment and you will be very impressed. Buy with confidence.
The person reporting this should just give the deposit back if she doesn't want to sell her puppy and move on. She has never been to Della home, so how can she know anything.
Remove this ripoff lie,

This is in response to her cleft palate puppies. Their names are Elsa and Mickey! Whom she saved by tube and then bottle feeding, many trips to the vets and constant around the clock care. Most people would of let them die, she spent many sleepless nights saving these puppies in hope they would live, which they did. They are both healthy and happy!! How do I know so much about these puppies? I have their mom now, and was there to visit and see Della bottle feed and rub their bellies to make sure they knew they were loved!
Elsa and Mickey's mom wasn't as fortunate to of had Della in the beginning. She was dealt a bad hand early in life with other breeders. Della only raised this one litter from her, who knows what happened to cause the cleft palates but I do know it wasn't anything Della did! I've seen her stud and he's gorgeous! Della taught my dog how to trust people again, as it was so obvious (and sad) she had lost that trust in humans early in life. She was truely blessed to of had the opportunity to live with Della and now with me.
We've visited since then and Della owns one of the puppies and the other one was given to a wonderful home. She made sure of that! Elsa is so happy and energetic her mom thought she was too much for her! lol PLEASE don't believe the negative report against Della. She has always had an open door policy, beautiful kennels with heated floors to boot! Go visit for yourself and see, her dogs and puppies are awesome! I'm not a breeder, I speak as a human being with a big heart for animals and can see the obvious!
You rock Della!

I recieved a dog from Della in December and have visited her place several times in between. If I were a dog I would want to live at Della's! What a beautiful kennel and dogs she has! Della has open doors for anyone who wants to visit. She has never shown any deception and is a very square shooter when it comes to her dogs. She has given me so much wonderful advice to make sure my schnuazer gets the best (holistic) food, dental care, shots etc. Even sent me home with plenty of free goodies for her!
I couldn't be more grateful to her as she did so many "extras" to make sure her schnauzer was going to get the best care. We talked often in her transition stage from her place to mine. Giving me wonderful advice. I've seen first hand that her dogs at her kennel are all healthy and happy, given the best care and products out there. It saddens me to read the false accusations against her and her wonderful place. I just had to let people know out there that it is totally untrue!! PLEASE don't believe it and visit her and see for yourself!

My concerns about this person are many but when she told me about the SCHNAUZERS she was raising that 2 had CLEFT PALETS,and that she was selling them as pets, and at least 2 puppies dying from strange abnormalities after being with their new owners for a litte more then a few weeks,I knew that was not someone I wanted to be associated with. These are genetic defects THAT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AS PETS OR BREEDERS.THIS WOMAN CALLS HERSELF A PROFESSIONAL DOG BREEDER.DELLA MONROE HIDES THE FACT THAT SHE HAS 10 DIFFERENT BREEDS OF DOGS.Do not buy from or sell to her Check out her facebo_ _ _ page where she has the CLEFT PALET puppy on her wall with a kotex on!!!! Something everyone should see. She has Maltese,Japanese Chins Yorkies,Shih-Tzus Pomeranians Schnauzers,SUGARBEARS TO NAME A FEW.
