Pupsamillion - Puppy Avenue ripoff Hereditary Health Conditions Mange Demodex Ear Mites Epilepsy Dishonesty Not a Breeder Plays Innocent No Health Guarantee Broker Puppymill Bonneredale Arkansas
I got my English bulldog puppy from them in November 2005. We paid $1,600 for him.
Right after we got him we took him for his first visit to the vet, and discovered he had ear mites. The vet informed us that ear mites are very uncommon in dogs, and that they are indicative of either being around cats, or very poor living conditions, such as a puppy mill.
A couple of months later, he started loosing hair in patches, we took him back to the vet and found that he had demodex (hereditary mange). The vet told us that it would be hard to believe that if the breeder were actually a breeder, it would be hard for them to not know about a genetic history of mange. I called Jeff & Tonya about this, they did offer to fly him back to Arkansas so they could treat the mange themselves, but I was beginning not to trust them, and optede to care for him myself.
It took us a long time to get his CKC papers, and when we did, I asked for Jeff & Tonya to send me pictures of our dog's parents. It took us 2 months to get the pictures from them, after weekly e-mails from me regarding the subject, and when I got them, they were images of dogs that were inconsistent with the description of his parents on his "pedigree."
This past summer, he had his first seizure. Epilepsy, while hard to diagnose, is basically defined as recurring seizures - and that's what he has. It's extremely hard to watch, and every time it happens, I want justice for Jeff & Tonya even more.
I have been monitoring their site, they have new puppies once a month, many of them are miniature bulldogs, which is not even an official breed, but they charge purebred prices for them. They have two websites, I got my dog from Pupsamillion, and I just found Puppy Avenue today, so haven't had a chance to watch that one very much. The frequency of their litters tells us that either they are a broker or a puppymill. There's no way they could be ethical breeders.
They are unproffessional liars. Don't buy a dog from them - you absolutely will be sorry.
If you are reading this and have experienced a similar situation with these "breeders," please set up an account on this site and post a response to this, or complaint of your own. The more word we get out, the less people who will be SCREWED by Jeff & Tonya.

Harrassment...

Hi...I am not sure if I have asked you yet because I have been asking everyone and cannot keep up with who I have posted with, but have these people harrassed you over your report. I submitted mine over a year ago. The past couple of weeks, Tonya, her mom, dad whatever they are to each other, has been calling me relentlessly. One of them even went to the lengths of contacting my dads busy corporation and pretended to be my friend to his secretary in order to get information about me. I don't know what these people are capable of and what their history looks like...all I know is something has to be done.
