Mylesdanes Great Dane Kennel Patricia Myles BEWARE OF MYLESDANES GREAT DANE BREEDER Niagara Falls/Lewiston, New York
BEWARE of Mylesdanes in Niagara Falls, New YorkI purchased a Merlequin Great Dane from Mylesdanes. I had researched and found nothing bad about them.
I emailed the breeder and she seemed to be knowledgeable.
I filled out the application, mailed a non-refundable deposit, signed a contract and paid $1,200 plus $300 for transportation (by car).
My pup arrived at 7 weeks old and he is beautiful. He came with his sire's pedigree and a paper from a 'vet' that checked off as 'good' all his physical parts.
After 2 weeks, when my pup was starting to be much more active, I realized he had a vision problem. My vet checked him and diagnosed him with a congenital problem called Nystagmus. My pup can distinguish somewhat from light to dark and somethings that go by him closely. I do not know the extent of his vision impairment, but he bumps into just about everything. He cockes his head to try to hear but I haven't taken him for a hearing test yet.
I contacted Mylesdanes and was told she my dog didn't have a vision problem and she never had a dog with a vision problem. She insisted I read my contract. I had read it. It stated that if there was a life threatening condition, she would honor the contract. The vision problem (and possible hearing problem) are not (as far as can be determined) life threatening. The contract states I must take my pup to a specialist. She must agree with the diagnosis and then I must
pay to ship my pup back. She would then select a new pup within one year, color and sex her choice not mine. I would then pay, again, to have that pup shipped to me.
I had seen on the web site that she had a deaf pup she was giving away. She then sold this pup for $300.
I, myself, used to breed dogs (Dalmatians) and if there ever was a problem, I immediately refunded any moneies.
I had expected to at least get some of the money back since a deaf dog was only $300. I do not want to send my pup back as he is a wonderful 'little' guy and we are learning to adapt to his problems.
Please, research plenty, and research some more before buying from any breeder.
And BEWARE of Mylesdanes which is considered a 'BYB' (backyard breeder)as I found out after reading about them at Danesonline, alas, too late. That's a breeder who is only in it for the money.
This breeder also refuses to provide medical information about her breeding danes nor any references
Please, learn from my mistake.
