Complaint Review: S' Canines - Mint Hill NC

Quite by accident I stumble upon this report that is in fact untrue or a "hoax" as described by Ripoff Report. I was hesitant to even add this rebuttal because if it is like all the other "hoax" complaints from this person (which is not the name or city listed), there will be additional scathing comments.

I am a reputable hardworking breeder, dog show exhibitor and help provide service dogs for training for PTSD. Therefore, this pains me to read. If this deceased puppy story accured I would hope they would have notified me. Do I breed dogs with failing health clearances? No! Do I do health clearances? Yes! Do I provide copies to new owners? Yes! Puppies go home with a health guarantee as well and are microchipped.

The comments and information about my place of employment are uncalled for. My health clearances are not even done there. My well checks for puppies are and each puppy's individual exam will match the microchip information.

The two issues with puppy's I am aware of?

1. Puppy, 2 1/2 weeks after placing went from a playful healthy boy to vomiting blood and bleeding out from the rectum in 6 hours. DOA when arrived at after hours clinic, owner declined necropsy and parvo test was negative. In my conversation with veterinarian he suspected toxins. I refunded full amount vs placing another puppy in the home.

2. Apparently a male dog with an OFA auscultation at 12mo was then diagnosed with a murmur 3 months later. Owner said her vet told her he wouldn't live to see 2 years. This report was never provided to me. I was aware she had previously sold this dog and with held his AKC papers from the new owners and he had not been well cared for. This poor fella ends up back with the owner I had sold him to. She, of course wants her money back. I asked her to take the dog to the vet that originaly did the heart ausultation for a second opinion. What she said to me differs greatly from what the vet reported to me. I told her she could just return him and I would refund her in full. She refused, said her son was so attached could not part with him. I, then told her to have the dog neutered, send a reciept and I will refund half. Which is what we did. I recieved a call she had this young dog for sale which I found him on her kennel website (which changes names often). So much for her son couldn't part with him or the other story, he wouldn't live to see age 2!

We all learn by our mistakes and this mistake (2) has been haunting me for about 10 years now. Thus, the Ripoff Report, something she does to many.

Reading up on information on the internet: Shirley Van Camp from Scess goes by Minion on the forums, along with her friend here named "problemcat" which is Candace Warren from Copperfield Golden Retrievers which is definetly a problem that is for sure. She sells a dog that acts abused when the people get it. It was either abused or it lived in a kennel all its life and dogs that are kenneled are not socialized with acting nothing but abused. So funny that these two jelous show breeders go around trashing others being they have nothing else to do which is to talk trash on others and with making up their own stories on others that are in fact false alligations. You both need to grow up! You are too old to be doing that. It is not like you are in your 20's going around trashing others, you are in your late 60's or 70's. You need to be trashed so you can see what it feels like especially when you both sell dogs with isues to other people and in fact know about it.
