I had been corresponding with [redacted] for nearly a year. She wanted to start a small breeding program and asked many questions over that period even to the point of wanting to be partners. During that entire time, the correspondences were completely positive and our male Maserati...
earned his AKC Championship and won Winners Dog at the Nationals.We do not have problems with buyers and this was the first situation. This litter included nine puppies. All of which buyers were completely satisfied and no issues reported. When [redacted] reported the issue, all buyers were notified to check their puppies, again no issues. We additionally, took the mother of this liter to the vet for testing and again, the results were negative.The new owners of this litter and all our other prior puppies have been reported healthy puppies. They additionally have commented those were the best Bernese they have owned. European bloodlines are known for stronger thick bones, excellent conformation, and health. American Bernese are smaller boned and coat not as thick.Our puppies receive two puppy parvo vaccinations and a 5-way vaccination as well as being dewormed every two weeks along with the mother starting at the age of two weeks before leaving to their forever homes. Additionally, the puppies are taken for a vet health check and a fecal exam completed. This was done with Bernadine’s puppy with negative results received before being shipped.Puppies can be stressed during the time they leave their home, litter mates and during travel especially air flights. This can result in the puppy showing signs of coccidia. Foster and Smith (Foster, R., 2017) explain the following:It should be mentioned that stress plays a role in the development of coccidiosis. It is not uncommon for a seemingly healthy puppy to arrive at his new home and develop diarrhea several days later leading to a diagnosis of coccidia. Fortunately, coccidiosis is treatable. Drugs such as sulfadimethoxine (Albon®) and trimethoprim-sulfadiazine (Tribrissen®) have been effective in the treatment and prevention of coccidia. Drug treatments of one to three weeks are usually required. The coccidia species of dogs and cats do not infect humans.This information disputes the accusations of coccidia being contagious to humans as well it is treatable. Our Bernese run freely on a fenced farm and not kenneled. This would not be an issue continued months on end if treatment did begin as soon as the buyer has suggested. Another way puppies can get Coccidia is from: Flies, mice, cockroaches and other household insects that can carry the coccidia cyst from one place to another in your home/yard and therefore exposing your puppy. Having the pet food store does propose this as an issue if individuals bring their pets with this unforeseen issue and we have many puppy visitors. Therefore, the negative results from the mother are not the issue. There are a vast amount of reasonings coccidia can be contracted. The business can submit to customers that no pets are permitted on premises, which seems extreme being pet food and supply store.I have corresponded with [redacted] until the last email received where she became hostile and exhibiting a threatening tone toward our business after I had responded to every email prior to this. The agreement specifically states that we are not responsible for any veterinary medical bills and that we do not guarantee puppies to be free of parasites. RespectfullyDr. Becky Foster, PhD
Ma'am :Response Question l: Has the company addressed the issues of this dispute? Answer: No Response Question 2 : If not, why not? Answer: I have been corresponding with Ms. Foster for almost two years. At some point Ms. Foster mentioned forming a partnership with me, but she never followed through. This is a minor point. I received a male puppy from Ms. Foster's establishment when the puppy was nine weeks old. The very next day we were at the vet for our first check-up. I provided my vet with a stool sample which turned out being positive for both coccidiosis and giardia. I immediately informed Ms. Foster as Giardia is very infectious, and I was worried about the rest of the litter. Ms. Foster stated that the puppy did not incur these parasites on her farm, but that the puppy was probably given "airport water" and thus the puppy contacted these parasites. The puppy was so ill, that I had to take him to the vet hospital in Portsmouth, N. H. where the vet informed me that the parasites have a 30 day life cycle whereby the parasites develop from cysts to adults. I figured out time-wise that the parasites were ingested when the puppy was six weeks old. I dutifully advised Ms. Foster, letting her know that the puppy did not acquire his illness from airport water. At six months and $3000. later, my puppy was cured of his condition of Giardia. The cocidiosis was cured more quickly. Any experienced breeder, I. e. Ms. Foster knows that Giardia is not cured easily. The point is the puppy was sent to me with these conditions. Ms. Foster has completely ignored the issue of sending me a puppy with Giardia. Additionally, Ms. Foster neglected to tell me that my puppy was not welped or followed on her farm. I found out that the puppy was born to another couple when I registered my puppy with the AKC. In speaking with the vet in charge of litters born in the state of Ohio, he was not surprised that I'd received a sick puppy, and that he was going to investigate Ms. Foster's establishment With an impromtu visit. Question 3 : Has the company met the agreement they outlined in their response? Answer: No, they have not. Respectfully, [redacted]
