Complaint Review: Trisha Wescom - Internet

Let's add up the fact's AKC said no these puppies are not pure and pulled their papers well that's that and is the breeder's problem which she needs to address and make right,and that is all everyone expectswhich has not been done. These poor owners now have pet's that they paid a large amount of money for or were requied as payment they are attached to the dog and I don't even want to think these people unknowingly bred these dog's. Im sorry but when you mess up be a women own up to it and make it right. As wel all have noticed she has not owned up to anything. I would hope she did not do this on purpose so what is so bad about admitting what happened ans stating what will be done to correct it. her name is ruined due to her own mistakes not anyone elses.She should have expected angry puppy owners. many thing's have been pulled by her little group none of them have worked. I want to make this clear the puppies papers wre pulled so no they are not purebred puppies and not akc as stated when they were purchased.

Have you DNA matched your pup to the listed sire? If it doesnt match, that would be how you prove that the Sire that was on your registration was NOT the Sire and AKC would take the appropriate action. Have your registration papers been pulled or marked conditional since you say they investigated and made a decision on the whole litter somehow and deemed them impure? If they have made a decision on the whole litter then it will affect the paperwork. That way you would have actual proof and not just speculation. If the breeder had reason to know they Sire they listed was not the Sire and there is enough proof they are also likely to have repercussion with AKC as a breeder in general and may get suspended.

Questions of my dog isnt what they said/the Sire isnt the Sire are resolved by DNA testing and matching the pup to the Sire/Dam to prove parentage. Thats what it is for. Until the DNA doesnt match it isnt really a fact and doesnt necessarily matter what they look like (though I do see your point with the one picture). It doesnt seem there was anything wrong with the pups appearance or that raised too many strong suspicions as pups based on your statements of everyone wondering later.

Based on some if your statements I have to ask if you know that there can be more than one sire to a litter? - The breeder states that one pup from this litter was DNA'd let's don't forget she co-owns this said pup, also don't forget that she had a litter on the ground that did belong to both parent's that she has stated this litter was bred by, the only way that said pup could have came back as having the same DNA as the said parent's is she used one out of the litter that she had on the ground! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY!! - Not true, it isnt the only way though could be plausible.

This does mention that only ONE pup (co-owned by her) has been DNA tested so any statements about the whole litter dont apply. That pup matched. It could be a pup from the same litter from the stated parents while your DNA test could show that the Sire on your paperwork isnt the sire. So far there is only proof mentioned that at least one pup is of the parentage the breeder stated and not that the whole litter isnt. It IS possible that after planned breeding something happened and some other male ALSO produced some pups with the Dam, like the roving Lab mentioned. This would result in some of the pups being part Lab and some of the pups belonging to the Sire stated so anyone in question has to be DNA matched to the Sire to know that they do or do not belong to him.

You need to DNA test your pup, we already know the Sires DNA profile is on file if she tested the other pup. You can go to AKC.org and type in DNA sire in the search bar to pull up more articles and information. If the results come back that your pup doesnt share DNA with the Sire stated then there is your irrefutable proof without question (though still applies mainly to your pup until the others you mention are tested also) that your pup isnt as represented and a factual record of it. Be sure to post when your results from AKC are in. :-)

I as everyone else who has gotten or bought a puppy from this breeder, can clearly see that these (our) dogs are "IMPURE". When the Dam was pregnant the breeder posted they were expecting a "pure" litter of Great Dane puppies. After the Dam whelped the litter, the breeder was still claiming to have "pure" Great Dane puppies. All potential buyers were expecting a "PUREBRED" Great Dane puppy. After all buyers and myself recieved our puppies from this particular litter, there came a time when we noticed the puppies were not what the breeder claimed. After a long investigation with the kennel club (akc), the litter was deemed "IMPURE".....meaning, that this kennel club, buyers vets, handlers, and others can tell the differance between "pure" and "impure". I have "PUREBRED" Great Danes, and i can CLEARLY see that the pup that I got from this breeders litter is NOT a "PUREBRED" Dane. I have Danes that are half his age tower over him, some of the same sex, some of the opposite sex. Come on people.....REALLY????? Truth is the truth...and wrong is WRONG!!!! Take another look at the picture above....you tell me...."Purebred" or "Impure"? Be fare to yourself and to others....call a spade a spade! To all of you that have gotten puppies from this breeder, out of a differant litter and got what you paid for, i commend you for standing up for what you believe....i commend the breeder for being honest....I would have ALOT more respect for her, IF..she would have done the same for the people who bought from the April '09 litter. I , like some of you, thought alot of this breeder, she was nice, she was helpful, she was everything that a puppy buyer would expect....until she messed up a breeding and tried to cover it up with a differant SIRE.

Since I have mentioned the "SIRE"....just so everyone knows, I know that this breeder is claiming that the "sire' is "IMPURE", this being "the reason" that the April '09 litter is in question....PEOPLE.....I OWNED this "STUD DOG". I know his roots. I OWN his Dam, sister, and have placed puppies from his line in wonderful homes, and have never had any complaints. If she is questioning his purity, then why did she stud him to other females and have several litters out of him herself? Does she question the other litters purity? Lets not forget,she had mentioned that there was a large CHOCOLATE LAB running "at large" while her female was in season....1+1=2...it is as plain as that!

You have got to be kidding me!! If you think that this dog is purebred then i would really hate to see what you would think is a mixbreed. If you have a puppy from this litter then you must not know about the breed " great dane " this dog or any dogs from this litter is NOT a purebred great dane!

The breeder states that one pup from this litter was DNA'd let's don't forget she co-owns this said pup, also don't forget that she had a litter on the ground that did belong to both parent's that she has stated this litter was bred by, the only way that said pup could have came back as having the same DNA as the said parent's is she used one out of the litter that she had on the ground! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY!!

Please people go to her website and look at the photos of the April 09 litter, they in no way look like a purebred great danes, look at other sites and you will see...

I don't know why you people want to keep putting down Trisha. She is a great breeder and cares about the health and temperaments of all her dogs. I've been to her house and I also have a puppy from that litter that is 100% Dane! There is no labs there only Great Danes. HOD is caused by several things. Have you ever thought you was to blame of your Danes HOD? Yes, you could have caused it by poor diet and too much calcium.

 I'm sure you have and seen what AKC has had to say about this litter.  

as a matter of fact, i don't think the akc does say.  it seems that when there's a report they don't really investigate, only negate the litter, a self feeding cycle.  i've had several dealings with this breeder and have always found her honest and above board.  she has always gone above and beyond to make sure a client is satisfied.  the sales contract states you should NOT resell a dog, but return it to her if there are ANY problems, each case settled by problem/complaint i would guess.  great danes have several "roots" to the breed, as do all "purebred/registered" dogs.  any of these, in any dog is bound to show up in a genetics report.  hod is not necessarily genetic but may have other causes.  THINK before defaming!!!
