Update on puppy from Valentine Bullmastiffs

Puppy came very close to death a week ago.
The kennel cough, turned into pneumonia, and puppy spent the weekend in oxygen tank in critical condition!!
My bill was over 2100 dollars, this on top of the 400 trying to treat the strain of kennel cough at my local vet.

Linda Valentine has been kept informed, and has not even checked on the health status of my poor little puppy!!!

Re: Update on puppy from Valentine Bullmastiffs

I bought a puppy from Valentine bullmastiffs and wish I had not. The dog is 1 year now and I spent $1,000 on health issues his first 6 months, and another $800 over the past 6 months. He has bacterial infections, yeast infections, skin lesions, etc. Now he has lameness and stays on pain medicine so that he can walk. I also wrote a complaint to the consumer protection bureau and received half the purchase price back because never delivered the AKC papers like she promised to. I see that she is selling puppies on ebay now. I think it is horrible and unfortunate. Her puppies are suffering health problems and all she is doing is making money. I think she her pupps may have been good ones at one point, but at this point, I would never recommend her to anyone. Under Pa law, if the breeder does not give you the AKC papers in 120 days, you have the right to get either keep the dog and get 1/2 of purchase price back, or give the dog back and get a full refund.

Re: Update on puppy from Valentine Bullmastiffs

Oh my!! Well the story sounds familiar! Did she also have you sign the papers in a car? She never let me see her kennel or any of her other dogs!
I am contacting EVERYONE and EVERY organization to try and stop this woman!
