I am writing this e-mail to inform other potential pit bull buyers. A year ago, I purchased a female pit bull (Diva) from Ruthy Dundee and Dundee Pitbulls. I deposited $1900 USD into Ruthy Dundee's Wells Fargo bank account. I received Diva
the next day, as was our agreement, but she was not in the best physical condition. Also, Diva's UKC registration papers were suppose to be mailed to me, and I still have not received them today. I never made a big deal about it because I am not a breeder, I am a certified professional dog trainer.
Ruthy Dundee and I agreed to breed Diva to my blue male (Nuke.
We agreed upon a "pup back" deal. This breeding was successful. Ruthy Dundee said that because of his status in the "dog world," he could sell the pups faster than I could. So, I sent him two of the pups from the breeding. Soon after, I asked him how the pups were doing and he told me that they both had died. I thought that this was very strange, because I had received a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian stating that the pups were in excellent physical condition. Their shots and de-wormings were also current. Ruthy Dundee blamed me for not registering the pups, because he could have had them sold if he had the papers. I was not able to register them, because he never sent me Diva's papers. So, he never paid me for the second pup that I sent him to sell. I believed him when he told me the pups died, even though the rest of the litter survived. I thought I could trust him, and that he was an honest, professional businessman...like myself.
Ruthy Dundee sent me an e-mail stating that he was holding a moving sale. I was very interested in one of his males, Ninja. He sold him before we could come to an agreement on him. He offered me DoLo instead. I was also very interested in DoLo and became anxious to purchase him. Since we had encountered a few problem in the past, I drew up a contract for the purchase of DoLo. I signed it, faxed it to him, he signed it, and faxed it back to me. This became a legal-binding purchase agreement. The contract stated that I would own (not co-own) DoLo after I deposited $1500 USD into his Wells Fargo bank account. This amount included DoLo, shipping and any other fees. It also bound me to cover the transportation of DoLo's semen, for his future planned breeding. The contract stated that DoLo must be shipped to me immediately after the funds were deposited into Ruthy Dundee's account.
Ruthy Dundee said that I only needed to deposit $1300 USD into his account, and that I could pay for the shipping when I received DoLo at the airport. I found out that I was going to have to pay $400 USD for DoLo's shipping. I contacted Ruthy Dundee and asked him to cover the additional $200 USD that was not agreed upon in the contract. He seemed to have issues with this. I really wanted DoLo to join my training program, so I offered to cover $100 USD of the additional $200. He agreed. The airport would not let us cover the shipping costs in separate payments, so I agreed to pay the entire $400 USD. Even though Ruthy Dundee broke many of the stipulations of the contract, I continued to work with him.
A few weeks went by and Ruthy Dundee continued to feed me different stories on why I had not received Dolo. I began to worry and then frustration set in. I decided to give him different options on how we could handle this situation. He had my money and I did not have my dog. Ruthy Dundee told me that he had a Grandmother that was dying. I completely emphasize with his situation, so I waited longer to receive DoLo. Then, he told me he would send DoLo on a certain date. When that day arrived, I was not able to reach him through any forms of contact, and DoLo was not shipped. I then suggested that he was under a breach of our contract. He told me to go ahead and sue him, because he has been down that road before and that the people have never followed through with the suit. I continued to try and work with him, because it's not about the money--I just wanted DoLo.
Due to lack of communication and cooperation I came to the conclusion that he is going to keep my money and not send DoLo to me. I told him that I would inform his potential buyers of his breach of contract and poor customer service. He was not phased by my intentions. Being the compassionate individual that I am, I sent out e-mails to his potential buyers and current customers, to warn them of his unprofessional behaviors and actions. He told me that you all are only ten percent of his contacts, and that he did not care. Ruthy Dundee became furious after I sent the e-mails, and the situation escalated to childish aggression and threats of quiescent violence. I told Ruthy Dundee that if he sends me DoLo, I will personally write a testimonial stating that he resolved this problem and maintained a high level of professionalism and excellent customer service. He still refused to cooperate with me. I have had no choice but to continue to take steps to educate current and embryonic customers about his on-going and forthcoming avocations. To give merit to my acclamations I have attached a photo of DoLo, the two pups that were sent to Ruthy Dundee, an original of the contract that him and I signed.
Just giving you all a heads up. I would hate to see anyone else in this stressful horrible situation.
