After an extensive internet search for our next bulldog, we decided to purchase a handsome puppy from adorable bulldogs in miami, fl in may of 2013. I am writing this now (5 years later) because we are again looking to purchase a bulldog puppy We waited ahile after our experience reported here) and i do not want anyone else to be scammed by this business or whatever name she operates under currently.
Once we signed our contract Which had no real contact information on it - should have been a red flag - also email and business name didn't align - another red flag, but we were smitten with the puppy). Our puppy did in fact arrive as agreed upon and was the puppy pictured in all of our communications. It seemed like the transaction had gone smoothly and we were happy...But only for a few months.
At about 4 months of age our puppy stopped growing and gaining weight and he was vomiting after each meal. We had him to our vet who sent us to a bulldog specialist vet. He shocked us by telling us that our puppy was a medical misfit with the following conditions: small snares, inverted saccules, elongated soft palate, hypertrachea, reflux, hiatal hernia and bad knees. On top of all that, he had pnemonia from aspirating his vomit secondary to the reflux and trachea issues. We baegan treating the pneumonia as our first step.
Upon our second specialist visit he informed us that our puppy's surgeries would total approximately $20,000 and he doubted it would correct the underlying issues completely If at all for some of them). He also discovered that the puppy had congenital heart failure!!! we were devistated. This was our little baby and we were watching him die at 6 months old!
We contacted michelle at ebp, eb, cnnic Whatever her real business is) regarding the health guarantee that was stated in the contract. She gave us a complete runaround, but finally when we told her that we were going to the florida attorney general and were going to sue her Neither of which we ever followed through on), she agreed to pay us 6 payments of $333 for 6 months. This did not total the full amount of our puppy's purchase price, but at least there was some reimbursement. However, the real issue was not the money, it was that this puppy was a member of our family that we expected to have for his lifetime We certainly didn't expect his tiny little life to only last 10 months due to life threatening illnesses).
Michelle responded in one email stating that "this is the first puppy we've ever had with health issues"...I do not believe that. And, i hope that adorable bulldogs, cnnic, ebp, eb has been shut down by now, but i felt compelled to file a yscam just in case someone else is looking at an adorable puppy from this scammer i want them to be aware.
May 2016 paid $1600 for the purchase of a Bulldog Puppy.
October 11, 2016 Still no puppy and no refund has been issued.
Excuse after excuse why a puppy hasn't been shipped to me. Never takes any responsibility herself.
Seller becomes confrontational when questioned about her business practices. Seller is accusational in responding to complaints (everyone is a liar). Seller blames customer for the length of time for delivery.
22 complaints filed with Better Business Bureau South Eastern Florida office since February all of the same nature, failure on her part to complete the business transaction.
Multiple poor reviews on multiple sites.
Does business under numerous names, none with a physical location other than a P.O.Box.
Phone numbers come back as cellular from different cities with reverse lookup.
Some of the supplied email addresses come back as invalid.
Little to no response once you begin to have a problem receiving a puppy.
In my opinion it resembles a criminal enterprise where someone uses a legitimate business to hide illegal activity.
Research the Better Business Bureau and Consumer review sites regarding this seller before a purchase is made from her.
