I read this complaint over a year ago and when I went to Haus Juris German Shepherds to check out the facility I asked Megan Judge, the breeder, about it. Before I tell you what she said let me address a few of your complaints.
Yes she sold you k-9 Kraving Raw Diet food but that's what she was feeding the puppy and you just can't go from one food to another immediately unless you want to deal with diarrhea.
As for the toys? Megan showed us many products. A play pen, chew toys, bully sticks and a water bucket and hook to hang on the crate/play pen. Did we spend a few hundred extra dollars? Yes we did BUT we would have had to buy them from a pet store if we hadn't and Megan's prices was competitive or less.
Now let's address the pimple. Was it there when you bought the puppy? According to you it was. Could you have refused to take the puppy? Yes. As for Megan's returning phone calls? Yes she is slow but in her defense you and I are not her only clients. She is a breeder, trainer and handler. She has clients all over the country and world and also calls from prospective buyers. I have called but never have I been ignored or overlooked. I usually get a call from a kennel worker and if they can't help me Megan ALWAYS calls.
I have never heard Megan say she is the number one breeder in the country but she has the top stud dogs. Numerous kennels have used Liedo, Orus and Kloud in the past few years to produce some of the best puppies you can get. Number One? I think she is.
My wife and I drove from Florida in October to see the facility and meet Megan. In December of 2011 to pick our puppy from the 3 available. Did Megan pick a puppy for us? Yes she did but we chose a different one. Why does she pick the puppy/puppies for you? Not all dogs are right for you. She knows form her years of breeding what type of temperament a puppy will have as an adult. If you want a working dog she'll show you those. If you want a house pet she'll show you those. If you pick a puppy that has a high drive and that doesn't fit your lifestyle you will not be happy with the puppy and she wants happy clients. Megan Judge and Haus Juris is a great place to get a quality dog and if you don't believe me look at her facebook wall at all of the happy Haus Juris owners.
