Review content:
I have read many of the reviews on this site and really wish that I had read them sooner. We purchased our Layla from this ""Breeder"" (and I use the term loosely). My girls were drawn in by a cute picture of our dog posed in a decorative teacup posted on her website. We drove from Plaistow, NH to West Brookfield to look at the dog. Leah was very pleasant. She claimed that the dog we were interested in was 1/2 American Lab and 1/2 English Lab. She indicated that the dog had all her shots and was up-to-date. We were told that the mother was on the property, but when I asked to see her, the subject was changed and I could never get back to it again. We asked to see the dog interact with other dogs thinking that we would then get to see the whelping pen. A small ""mop"" looking dog was brought out. A bit later in the short time we were there, one of the daughters brought out a dog that they said was our dog's sister. She held the dog out in front of her under the arms. The puppy's belly was so engorged that it could not even stand up!! The daughter commented to her mother, ""Oh, I guess we shouldn't leave the food out all the time for this one."" I was surprised that any breeder would leave food out 24/7 for puppies, but Leah confirmed that they do exactly that. Leah also told us that she ""matched"" dogs to their owners and had never had a complaint. I found that hard to believe since she would allow us to take the dog that evening without any kind of background check. How do you match a dog to owners after 5 minutes? Of course our dog is had and is still fighting a case of ghiardia (8 months later). She also came with Kennel Cough. Of course we left with the dog. I couldn't pry it from my daughters' arms, despite my strong misgivings.
The dog was, in fact, given her shots, but was given them from 2 weeks on - way too early. Also, we were told that the dog was 7 weeks, but the paperwork showed that she was only 6 weeks - too early to go to a new home.
The biggest problem that I have, though, besides the fact that the whole transaction was handled wrong and without any real sense of working with a reputable person, was that the dog has turned out to be a lab/terrier cross. We paid $600.00 for a lab/lab cross and got a breed that we would never have gotten involved with had we known. We basically paid $600.00 for a $60.00 pound dog.
WATCH OUT FOR HER!! SHE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING TO SELL YOU A DOG!! BE SURE TO CHECK THE DOG OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!
