Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I bought a "miniatrue" english bulldog from Tonya and Jeff Graham in Jan. of 2007. The whole time I was looking at this puppy I was assured from the "breeders" that he was a miniature. I was also assured that he passed a veterinarian check and that he was completely healthy.

I got the puppy and as I was looking over the shipping papers from the airlines I saw that the poor guy had spent over 12 hours being shipped from city to city in a small cramped kennel. He had food and water all over himself and he had soiled in the kennel. Taped to the kennel when I received him was a bottle of pills, and a bottle of some sort of ointment that said "give twice daily orally". I was concerned so I tood him to the vet the next day and had him looked over. The vet had no idea what type of medication it was because it was not labeled and there were no dosage amounts. So immediately that medication was stopped. He was tested and we found out that he had a hernia, and severe double ear infections.

Jeff and Tonya are obviously liars and are just out to make a quick buck. I can not imagine the conditions that this poor guy was born into. He was not healthy like I was promised he, a hernia and double ear infection is NOT healthy.

I waited days, then weeks for his papers to show up. And they didn't. So I contacted Jeff numerous times by phone and not one of my calls was returned. I also tried numerous times by email and I was ignored. Finally one day I got him on the phone because I pretended to be a new customer interested in a puppy, I informed him of who I was and told him that I either wanted the papers or a full refund on my dog. He apologized and said that his mother was the one who did the papers and that she had falled behind and he assured me that they would be sent out the very next day. Four months later and numerous nasty emails later I finally got the "papers" in the mail. They were not papers, just an application.

It has now been 8 months since I got my dog. He has a hereditary skin infection.. thank god not the mange like some other people have written about. A hernia, double cherry eye and he weighs 54 lbs. If you look up "miniature bulldog" it is a dog that weighs under 30 lbs.

I was sold a miniature but I received a full sized bulldog. He came with numerous medical problems and no papers. I am sure these people are running a puppy mill and that they are scam artists. Every 2 weeks about they have a whole new batch of puppys for sale. No reputable breeder will have puppies that often. It screams puppy mill, please, please do not support them.

Have these people harrassed you over your report? They have been calling me the past two weeks and I want to know if any other people who have dealt with them have had the same problem. They even contacted my dad's business and pretended to be my friend in order to get information about me!! How creepy is that?!?!

Hi, I had a negative experience with these people. I filed a report on here over a year ago and they have been calling me relentlessly the past two weeks. Have they (Sue, Tonya, their Dad/Husband whatever they are to each other) been trying to contact you about your report??

It is sad but true here in the wonderful us of a that persons are still so cruel and pathetic to make money off of a breed that the breeders know have health isues. Never buy from back yard breeders nor brokers and most puppysites is brokers. they know nothing about the lines and the fault in line. when u have a health any as small as aller gy and u breed 2 dogsone has it u know it. I think breeders should pay for their neglagence in breeding an until vets stand behind thes dogs being breed for a dollar we will alwys have problems. remember people to fly an animal must see vet that is how I gt taken from amanda craig for 300.00 she wantd to drive dwn myshih-tzu to avoid vet not giving papers or what the deal was is old bait and switch asking for a virgin 9 month wanted me to have her puppies more than likely or puppies of another shih-tzu in their care. please be aware never wire monies do paypal. I am not sure of arrangements on paypal but if you get to airport dog u do not want send it bck. at all costs then also if these desperate puppy millers want to make money make your own contract. I neg. all contracts with my 5 year garantee.aperfectshihtzu.com u as consumer negotiate your contracts or no sell have you seen all th puppysfor sale on web sites horrific. p.s. I breed my femles 2's and I have breeders saying thats crazy is it now? 3 years of ther life is not enough time taken from families who need a companion and worst the shih-tzu needs you worst. Not I brothers in sisters I breed therapy shih-tzus and trust me I am in the hole 6 grand. love of breed not love of money is breeder we all need. when you love what you do it is a passion.
