Lori Surh, owner of Standard Poodles by Lori, advertises that the puppies she sells will have tail docked and the dew claws remove, offers a health guarantee, and micro chipped. She didn't provide any of these services, nor did she reimburse me for services promised, but not provided which totals $514.00.
Also, month after I purchased my first puppy, I put down a deposit on another puppy at the same breeder. This happened prior to experiencing problems with her. By the end of December I had the puppy paid for in full. The pick up date for the new puppy was scheduled for January 11, 2014. The morning of the pick up date, the breeder called me and said that my puppy died.
I didn't believe her so I requested she email me a picture of the puppy, and she reluctantly sent one. The picture she sent was of a different puppy. The puppies in the little had distinctive marking. I showed the picture of the dead puppy and of the puppy I had purchased to my veterinarian, and he states that the dead puppy in the picture was not my dog.
Just a couple of months ago, Lori Surh got sloppy and posted on her facebook page a picture of a poodle that looked identical and that would be the same age of the one I bought. I believe that she decided to sell the puppy to her freind, because he carried the parti factor.
In all, Lori Surh, owner of Standared Poodles by Lori, 1. Refuses to reimburse me for services promised, but not provided on the first poodle I bought, and 2. Refuses to refund the purchase amount that I paid for the second puppy ($950.00). I believe her to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, and recommend that you choose a different breeder if you are looking to buy a standard poodle.
I have attaches a photo of the dog I purches, a picture of the dead puppy which Lori Surh claim whas the dog I purchased, and of the dog that I believe is the dog I purchased at 4 months of age.

Here are the photos. Please note the differences between the picture of the dead puppy and the puppy I suspect is the one that died. Then campare the similarities of the picture of the puppy I bought, and the picture of the dog that I believe is the puppy I bought. Lori Suhr, owner of Standard Poodles by Lori, posted this picture of the older puppy on her business facebook page. How can anyone be so deceptive? Oh, by the way, I filed a claim in small claims court against Lori Suhr!
