I bought a boxer puppy from Valley Pet Centers -DBA- Animal Kingdom at Arrowhead Mall in Phoenix AZThe breeder is listed as Dawn C., and the pet store went on and on about how their breeders aren't from puppy millsAll of these people should be ashamed of themselves for producing such unhealthy animals
My sweet boxer has had the following chronic health issues since birth:
- Seizures
- Hypoplastic Trachea: congenital deformity that causes narrowing of airway
- Congenital deformity of TMJ (the jaw) which means eating anything is very painful
- Constant teeth grinding, damage to teeth and bone
- Severe Food Allergies: she's allergic to so many things and it took forever to figure out a proper dietThese issues meant she had constant diarrhea - for almost a year
- Stunted growth due to the issues above, she's full grown at lbsBoxers are supposed to weigh 60-lbs
- Heart Murmur
I've tried to add her health info (with all appropriate vet paperwork) to the AKC database for my registered dog, but am unable to since I'm just the owner, not the breederSo basically the breeder gets to keep these things secret, and there's no way to contact her directly
Thoroughly disgusted with this breeder

First of all, this is a puppy mill run by peopleIt is impossible that all the dogs there receive the attention and medical care they require
I bought my dog from Petland, and this puppy mill is unfortunately where she was bornI am writing a negative review because these breeders knowingly and irresponsibly bred their dogs that have a genetic predisposition for luxating patellasMy Pomeranian has TWO luxating patellas that she was born withThis is a genetically inherited trait
I question whether the breeders even KNOW one or both of her parents have luxating patellasIf they do know, they are reckless and irresponsible for allowing them to breed and pass along such a terrible genetic trait
FYI- luxating patellas cost 1-3k to fixPER LEG
Fortunately, my baby gets along well for her condition and it doesn't seem to hurt hurt *right now*However, her condition gets significantly worse every year (within years she went from Phase to phase in both legs), and I am trying to save up for her surgeryOn top of the medical cost, I will have to be around to make sure he does not harm herself during her MONTH recovery PER LEGThat's HALF OF A YEAR my baby, who LOVES to spin and sprint across the lawn, will be confined to a cage
The breeders here should be absolutely ashamed of themselvesWhile I do not regret getting my dog, I do regret that she was born under such terrible conditions
Do not buy puppies from Petland, puppy mills, or from this "breeder" AKA puppy mill
