Vernetta/Geary Cockrum "show-mepuppies.com Sells unhealthy/veterinarian documented Dogs and puppies West Plains, Missouri
We purchased 5 adult females and 1 adult male English Bulldogs from Vernetta/Geary Cockrum, under a $10,000 contract.
We are hobby breeders, and didn't have any other dogs at the time we purchased these adults.
Vernetta claimed all dogs were free of genetic flaws and healthy.
Upon arrival to her kennel, we noted 100+ dogs in cages, categorized as a puppy mill.
We loaded up the bulldogs, quickly, as she was rushing the whole process. Upon arriving home we started noticing extreme medical conditions with the dogs.
We started taking all dogs to the vet., as it looked like they had never seen a dr. before..
-1 female was diagnosed with elongated palette, causing breathing issues, entropian in right eye (eyelashes that roll in causing irritation to the eye).
-1 female was diagnosed as having a swollen vaginal area, causing reproductive issues, as the swelling never went down. Entropian in both eyes, and was extremely scared of being touched, due to lack of socialization.
-1 female was diagnosed with pus in her uterus/pyometra, 2 months after purchase. Entropian in both eyes.
-The worst female, being only 3 yrs. old was diagnosed 90% blind due to entropian that had been neglected. Chronic ear infections due to years of neglect, resulting in ping ping ball scar tissue rendering her deaf. Skin allergies resulting in constant scratching leading to her bleeding all the time. She has to be on daily medication to rry and keep her comfortable, which she is lethargic due to all the pain.
-The male was diagnosed having high blood pressure, semen tainted with blood, causing heart issues and eventually death in June 2011.
When I contacted Vernetta about the health issues, she stated, "I sold you good breeding dogs, with good uteruses".
I have since found several puppy buyers that bought english bulldog puppies, out of these adults from her, that are having extreme health issues. Several requiring surgery.
I am in this for the long haul.
I have contacted and placed complaints with all the right agencies:
-Attorney Generals office
-USDA
-Mo. Dept. of Agriculture
-United States Humane Society
-BBB of Sw Mo.
-AKC
-Animal activists of Mo.
I have consulted with an attorney, and am pursuing recourse for these animals and any animal that has had to endure her wrath.
She is fraudulantly selling puppies with genetic/health issues, even though her vet., has told her of these issues.
These animals will see their revenge in court.
