Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I cannot believe this. I found others whom have been scammed by KARLA CLIPPANGER, AKA Kardons Cockapoo's, AKA www.cockapoos.us ! Thi slady is a total liar in every way. Do NOT buy a dog/puppy from her at all. She will tell you what you wnat to hear prior to the sell and then, after the sell when the pupy you have has problems, she is your worst enemy. This lady list referrals for her services, these are OTHER breeders! What does one expect a breeder friend to say about their breeding buddy? I purchased a female cockapoo for my family back earlier this year, unlike the other post on this site, we were NOT lucky with our circumstances at all. Molly died on March 6, 2006!

SEVEN days after we purchased her from this breeder! Molly was a little sluggish puppy when we picked her up from the airport, she was scared and afraid, and traumatized from the flight I was certain. Little did I know that she had intestinal stomach virus, a highly contagious bacterial outbreak in her intestines, that we were told could be found in unsanitary conditions, such as dirty water bowls, food pens, living conditions , etc., I notified this breeder immeditaely and she was very rude nad ugly in her response and tol dme the pupy was sent to ome on a health certificate and therefore deemed healthy by her veternarian, and whatever was "wrong" with the puppy at this time, didn't come from her place!

I got signed statements from the vet we choose for our pupp'ys care, sworn testimonies from our neighbors, etc, all verifying, that the only other pet we had in our home was a hamster of my son's, actually a school loaner! These intestinal bugs this puppy had could not have been contracted at our home or place at all. The Coccidiosis condition we were told was present prior to the puppy being shipped, because we took the pup in to our vet the day after we got her, picked her up at the airport at 5:45p.m., and the next morning was at the vet at 9:00 a.m., sharp, and the diagnosis was done then! Anyhow getting back to this breeder and her response, She was very rude, didn't offer any compensationof the vet bills or expenses, but did say, we could return the puppy and get another one from her if we wanted to! How awful, there was no way, I could get my vet to give me a release to ship this puppy on a plane, she was sick, on fluids, medicine, etc, she was UNHEALTHY, she couldn't fly out!

Karla told us to wait and see what happens with the puppy and too keep her posted. Which we did, we told her everytime, everyday during those seven days we had the puppy, what the puppy was doing at the vet, sent copies of everything too her, and all. Even had the vet write the report too her about the diagnosis of the puppy and what treatment we paid for and what the outcome was and all. Karla NEVER wrote back, she wouldn't sign for certified letters sent too her from us either, I have all of those in my cabinet still too this date. My family and I have just gotten too where we would like another puppy, for a long while we couldn't imagine going through this again with another breeder/person. Luckily we did find a great breeder of Maltese puppies and purchased one from her, and all was well, a total different experience to say the least.

We have NEVER gotten any money back for the puppy that Karla sold my family, which was $850.00, never gotten any money back toward the vet bills , which came to a total of $736.58. But what we did get was a learning experience. People are not what they make themselves out to be at all. I have since found pictures of this lady's dogs over the internet, and giving all the junk in the background of her pictures, all the post on chat talk by her about her personal life, yes i too have found those, i would have never sent her any money for a puppy from her at all. We are not suppossed to judge someone by the way they live, dress, talk, etc., but this is the world, and to some extent, the way a person lives, dresses, holds themselves, etc., is an outwardly representation of the sort of person they are. This lady/breeder is clearly out for the money in the puppy dog world, if she wasn't, what breeder wouldn't give a better guarantee, what breeder wouldn't refund money to a person if they bought a sick puppy from them that DIED within a week? What breeder wouldn't see those circumstances and understand what the new owners are going through?

A friend of mine emailed this lady the other week, and Karla claimed that she was only a hooby breeder, only had 6 dogs, 2 of which was puppies. She didn't considered herself really a breeder a all! Give me a break, she is a liar!!! This lady tells anyone anything just to try to get a sale. I am not the only victim of this breeder, and I know more will eventually come out of the woods so to speak. I have never posted on this site prior to this, my friend, found this site by a search of her name, and we found the other reports. Myself, didn;t know this was available. I know nothing can be done to this lady, but please if you read these post, spread the news, do not give gain to this breeder at all, she is a scammer, lies, and most dreadfully, sells sickly weakly puppies.

Bipolar and apologies

While I accept your apology Ann I have to say this because it is that train of thought and lack of understanding is why people think that people with mental illness are dangerous and worthless. Here is my web site, i encourage all to read it, and try to understand what WE go through. I have Bipolar II (2) and I am not ashamed of it. clippingers.us/bipolar.html Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic-depressive illness, affects millions of people each year. For those affected by bipolar disorder, life is an emotional roller coaster of intense highs and crippling lows. Many treatment options are available to help control these extreme changes in mood. Although there is no cure, with proper treatment, many people diagnosed with bipolar disorder can live normal lives.

Thank you for coming back and noticing that the information is wrong and having the courage to admit that you were wrong for assuming these things were true. May I just say, I did not post against Karla, I was only stating that I bought 2 puppies from Amy and I had no problems. I was not at all saying that Karla was wrong. Thank you for the concern with my animals. This has been heartbreaking for us as we have done nothing wrong. I am beginning to think that my reports and Karlas reports are connected in some way. I think they are the same people too. But now what we have to figure out is who these people are so that we can go through the proper legal channels to prosecute them.

This has really gotten to be a total mess! There probably ARE psychos out there--you read about things like that all day long in the papers and hear about it in the news. I, too, noticed the same "Ashley, Salt Lake City, UTAH" on the reports about you, Samantha, and Ashley has posted against Karla, also...It's possible that there is more than one Ashley in Salt Lake but the chances of them both posting is not that great. That seems pretty fishy to me. If I have been hard on Karla, I do apologize, especially if these reports ARE FALSE! I am someone who supports victims rights and always seem to side with the victim. My idols are John Walsh, Mark Klauss, Nancy Grace and a few others! If these people have been conspiring to bring innocent people down, then this website has not served the public. It has only hurt the innocent...and if people are now killing or hurting your animals, that is just plain sick and cruel! GRRRRR!!! I HATE ABUSERS! I do apologize and I am STILL WAITING (and I'm sure others that read these reports are too) for these posters to back up their reports about the sick puppies, etc. supposedly received from Karla. Now, what I have read about Karla (after thinking that at first she was in the wrong) was good---she adopted a child and raised him as if he were her flesh and blood, her dogs appear to be in good health and look freshly groomed in her photos posted on the Internet. I am beginning to doubt the poster's stories--all of them---from Ashley, Alex and Jonah. I notice none of them have come back to post again or to provide proof. Sorry, this is all that we,the readers, have to pass judgement...the things we read...and apparently there is alot going on and being said that is NOT TRUE. I am sorry, also, for stoking the fire when I should have just read the reports, questioned it in my mind and let it go. I will make sure I find the other reports where I commented and make sure I apologize for assuming Karla was in the wrong when the person that posted the initial report was possibly not telling the truth. INNOCENT UNTIL ****PROVEN****GUILTY! I guess I myself need to print that on my shirt.

I am the person who has people trying to harm my dogs. I would love to know what making a report on here under Animal abuse is going to do? I have the local sheriff, a P. I, the FBI (yes they will get involved in matters like this) and a lawyer working on this. We will find out who it is. Then these people will be arrested, and charged for trespassing, harassment, animal cruelty and stalking. When we are done with these charges we will then sue for libel. Karla is not lying about this. If you look on the reports against her and then the ones against me you will see that these are the same people. Ashley claims she has talked to me and she breeds dogs in a report against me but then she is filing a report on Karla saying that the puppy she bought from Karla was the only puppy she had. Gee that sure dose make since doesn't it?? I don't have anything else to say. I just want you to know she is not lying.

If these things are REALLY happening, where is your friend? And you are insituating that people that post claims about being sold sick puppies (ASHLEY< ALEX< JONAH) are all of a sudden part of a mafia that goes after your friend? Whew, this is getting better than a soap opera... I read on the internet (google Karla Clippinger) that you are bipolar but are you sure you're not schizophrenic too? Just because these people post reports doesn't mean they're psycho dog killers. They seem to love their pets but just seem to be hurt that their pets arrived sick and they had vet bills or that their puppies died and they had no recourse. If they were to ever search for you or come to your house it would probably be for an attempt at a refund. With one posting from Nebraska, another from Montana and I don't remember where the other is from, I surely doubt that they'd show up on your doorstep. Maybe you should just take your meds.

""Also, the google search will tell you that Karla is boasting about a software program called "zoo easy" to keep track of her dogs and her sales, etc. so what does that tell you? Also, she is interested in breeding Leonbergers? Sounds like someone does not tell the truth.

Ann - Springfield, Missouri"" I do not breed anything but cockapoos and if I did breed anything else it wouldn't be on my cockapoo site now would it.. As for this part above I don't even know what kind of dog that is your talking about.. But if you had bothered to click on the link http://www.zooeasy.com/en/pedigreesoftware/breedingdogs/breeders/reviews.html You would have seen my actual testimony which reads ""I am not only a pet owner and breeder, but I also run a registry/club for cockapoos. This databas has been awesome. I can keep track of not only MY breedings and offspring, but also my clients. This is an absolute must have program when working with any breed, but establishing a new breed! Thank you!" As you can see, I don't say anything about any other breed of dog. I also have never told anyone I had only 6 dogs.. I have 13 to be exact and only 3 are of breeding age and 3 are fixed and I don't breed (One of them is 12).. Since everyone now knows my web site address, please feel free to email me, or you are welcome to even call me or visit my home. I rarely sell puppies out of state, that little program I have, zooeasy, has every name, and every dog I have sold or given away in the last 4 years

So your dog died of coccidia?

#13Consumer Suggestion

Fri, November 10, 2006

If your dog died of Coccidia then I woudl get a different vet...that is the easiest parasite to treat...If I was you, I would call some other vets and aske them how coccidia is transmitted, you may be surprised to find that Coccidia is brought on by stress from shipping, from trasferring from one house to a new home. If your vet could not administer Albon then I would get another vet. Please post your vet reports here, I would love to see why this dog died. If you did take your pup in within the first 24 hours then there is no reason why that puppy would not make it. If your puppy had something other then coccidia then I can understand it dying, maybe Parvo or Giardia? something hereditary or congenital? but Coccidia?????I question your vets knowledge of canine parasites if he could not cure this.....I do not think there is one breeder out there that warrantees against coccidia, but most will refund you money for the 24.00 meds needed to cure it. I hope your new puppy is bringing you much joy

Obviously someone (I suspect AMY VEAL) decided to try and tarnish my name with lies.. I didn't even have any puppies in March, I can prove it.. Nor did I sell any of my puppies out of state in the last year! I keep track of who I sell to and I also do not sell females for that price. All of my references come from people who have bought pups from me and have actually been to my house.. I recently put up a kennel (last month) to keep my dogs apart when in heat!!! Otherwise they live in the house.. And my vet WILL back me up! Someone sells me a sick dog, and now I AM GETTING ATTACKED?? Something is just not right there. I want to see your vet bills you claim you have, and the name and number of your vet pasted ontho this page so I can contact him. Something tells me you wont. Don't believe this person, she is angry that i reported her for the parvo puppy I bought and this is her way of getting back at me.. If indeed it IS Amy Veal doing this.. If not, it's one of her friends.. But the spelling problems kind of gives her away.. Anyone is welcome to email me for proof of these lies.. I have never shipped a puppy to Nebraska, or Utah

DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE NAME KARLA CLIPPINGER

#15Consumer Suggestion

Fri, November 10, 2006

I notice a few reports on here that mention the spelling of Karla's last name as Clippanger. I do believe it is Clippinger. Also, you will read that she most likely is the author of a report against another breeder who sold HER a sick puppy that died. You notice that she did not like it at all. You can read about that on reports about AMY VEAL, Black Creek Farm, pawsitivelyperfectpets, etc. She, unlike you, received a replacement puppy after she complained that her puppy died of Parvo. She expects to be treated fairly...it's a shame she doesn't treat her customers the way SHE wants to be treated. Sorry about your loss of your Molly. Also, the google search will tell you that Karla is boasting about a software program called "zoo easy" to keep track of her dogs and her sales, etc. so what does that tell you? Also, she is interested in breeding Leonbergers? Sounds like someone does not tell the truth. Her website will show you that she has more dogs than she will tell you about...and it doesn't have anything but cockapoos on it.

Thanx for your sympathy "Brenda"

#16Author of original report

Wed, October 18, 2006

Thanks "Brenda" for your sympathy toward me and my family regarding our loss of Molly. You commented on why I purchased this mix over the internet instead of finding something locally. Well, truthfully speaking, the reason for that was because of the wide spread Internet! When my family and I decided on a Cockapoo, from countless research on the breed through the internet and from a personal reference on the breed from a friend of a friend, we began searching the internet for Cockapoo breeders. I didn't initially come across karla's website, instead, I came across a friend of hers, where a puppy of Karla's was posted on their website and a comment was made that if interested in this puppy please contact this person, Karla Clippanger. Which I did, and in return was given her website, etc. It was love at first site for my family with Molly. When we saw her picture, no matter the price, we were hooked, even the breed itself didn't matter to use anymore at that point. So I guess a picture is worth money so to speak, because the picture is what made the sale for us on Molly. yes, in hind sight, we should have purchased locally, where we could in fact see the dogs homes, the breeders home, way of life, living conditions and even ask for vet reference and really check into them. But like the majority of people, we were victims ourselves of impulse buying! We purchased, received, and then had to bury Molly one week after we got her. It was a horrible experience for my family and I to go through, and alot of regrets we still have. But it was a learning experience, and if I can help one person NOT too buy a puppy from this breeder, then that is a good thing. I am not the only victim of this breeder's tactics, I only wish I had known more at the time we purchased Molly. I wonder how many others out there are also victims of this Karla Clippanger, Kardon's Cockapoo's! Time will tell. The lesson learned, don't be fooled by someone's emails, or words, buy a puppy from someone you know or can personally check out! Don't promote liars in the breeding business, it is a shame, they are out there and continueing in their business of breeding dogs!
