I am glad to hear the voices of others concerning this issue! I apologize for mis-typing the information, as my brain is mush from dealing with Rob Hawkins for so long. As I stated before, there was no contract. The legalities for me are over as well, since to hire a lawyer, press charges, and travel everyone to Texas would cost more than the price of the dog, which was $2,500. This dog gets worse everyday. I have also heard of others that have received problem pups. And now the police departments that were going to him are starting to realize what a scam he really is. If anyone is having luck persueing this/him, or please post here. Or, if you would like to share your story with me personally, you may send me an email. It never hurts to have a support group, if nothing else!

.I have spent a hour or so writing my comments, and in a blink of the eye, I lost it all. I do have my own complaint to file and understanding the rules, I shall do so. My reason for asking to reply prior to doing so, is because of a legal time period. I realize and completely understand Jennifer and her families ordeal. The story could have been my own. Still trying to resolve. Won't happen. The dog I have,woke up a couple of months after I got him, not able to walk. A dog living in my house, not out of my site, and can hardly hold his weight up. First vet x-rays, need to work with someone that is more eqip. Bottom line,genetic disorder of the elbow, requiring surgery and, take it from there. So much other information I can validate, but, I wanted to respond to Jennifer and her husband,in case there legal options are runnining out. Usually a year, depending. After reading the artical Jennifer wrote, I realized there time frame for any compensation could be close to non existant. I do understand if they are exhausted and just take the loss and move on. This is what these people do, they lead you on, and they wear you down. I will submit my report within the next couple of days. If Jennifer cares to contact me, I have no problem her having any information I have posted with Rip-Off Report.com. My name , my email address or phone number. It would be nice to make a difference. I will do all in my power, and if I do not hear anything from ILLINOIS, my heart and prayers are with you. One thing of note. My coming across this story was something of an accident. This needs to be corrected for others to access the information. The companies name is Worldwide Canine Inc., Manager: Rob Hawkins, Spring Branch, Texas,78070. The original title, Jennifer used, although the same in content, doesn't allow others typing in the legal name to have access. If someone were to type in the correct way the company has its name documented, zero results come up. Let your story be heard. I can not thank you enough.

I know I need to file my complaints before responding, but for the sake of a legal time frame, I hope this will be accepted. Jennifer , you and your husband are not alone. I read your article and for the most part it is all that I have encountered, and still dealing with. One excuse after another. My story sadley enough, like yours, only will be resolved through a legal system. My intial investment almost $6,ooo.oo, and now the expenses continue to escalate. The dog they sold me, not only, didn't have the training, that I was told I payed extra for, but he had no training at all. And niaive me, when they got here with the dog, instesd of 6 to 8 weeks, from payment as documented in the contract, it was 5 months later and serveral differnt dogs, that I was delivered my dog. Have on video he isn't responding the way he should, and Rob saying this is acceptable. Too anxious to fianally getting a dog I had expected several months prior, somehow, someway, I bought it at that time. They said keep the dog on leash an in acrate the first 3 weeks, then start treating him as your own. Okay got him August 1, 2005. the first week or a few days from there I woke up to a dog that could not walk. What could have happened. The dog was never out of my site, 24 hours a day. Many reasons, but I have a cat, that comes in and and out of the house, and my new dog wanted to kill her with a passion. Never out of my control or site. Took my dog to a local vet, He took x-rays, and recommended I go to the vet school, more than he could handle. I took my aquired new dog to the veternarians I had used for over 25 plus years when necessary. They took x-rays and my world crumbled. A genetic disorder that reqired surgery, and with surgery if successfull, I was advised, for what I payed and wanted,I maybe should send the dog back. Spoke to Rob, send the dog back, will replace. Fine. What is going to happen to the dog. Up to now you already owe me close to
