Contacted David Chupp to purchase a mini schnauzer puppy for our 4 children for Christmas! We set up the pick up & purchase for the day after Christmas 2016. When we arrived, David came out, ran to the barn & returned w/a puppy. We went inside his house to pay & David proceeded to tell us that the puppy had an ear infection & he had just put drops in his ear,& that's what was causing the dog to have a tilt in his head! He also told us that the puppy had never been on grass before so that's why he was acting skittish! The puppy would pull back each time you went to pet him! He assured us the puppy would be fine once we got him home and he got acclimated! We payed & left! The whole process took about 10 minutes! We left David's w/the puppy we called Martin! During our 3hour ride home the puppy got sick & vomited all over my wife. We just chalked it up to car sickness. We stopped one time to clean my wife up from the vomit, I took Martin & set him on the ground just outside the car, my wife was afraid he would run if I did so,but he never moved an inch!! We got him home & he finally came around and was a great addition to our family! (5months old at time of purchase). Everything going well, fast forward 4 months. My wife came home for lunch to get Martin & take him to work with/her as she always did daily, found Martin covered in vomit! She immediately scooped him up & took him to our local vet 2minutes away! The vet said Martin was having a seizure! She treated him for that & said it may never happen again or it could happen periodically! Once Martin was stable enough to bring home, my wife did so! Martin's condition never improved! I came home early from work to find Martin w/a severe head tilt & could not walk or maintain his balance! We continued to watch over him & in the next 3 hrs he had gotten dramatically worse! My son & I rushed him to the Emergency vet in Indianapolis! They took him back & got him stabilized! After being checked, the vet came out to tell me me he did not know what was wrong! I paid $1000.00 to them to keep him for up to 3 nights! They said they would keep him stabile through the night & see if he would improve & call me in the morning w/an update. So, the next morning they call my wife to tell her he has not improved& they recommend we take him to a Neurologist in Fishers Indiana. My wife drives to the emergency vet to get Martin to take him to the neurologist. She arrives & tells the technician she is there to get Martin, so the girl goes to the back to get Martin & comes out to tell my wife that he just stopped breathing!! So, as you can imagine, we are devastated! We tell our 4 little children that their puppy has died! The most heart wrenching thing ever! I called David to see if here were guarantees w/his puppies( I acted like I was interested in another puppy to get him to answer my questions) he said yes,& that's when I proceeded to tell him I was the owner of Martin & that he had passed! He said I would have to have an autopsy done to prove that it was genetic. He then tells me that he will give me a discount on another puppy! I would never buy a puppy from this guy! He is a wolf in sheep's clothing! Be aware of David Chupp! He is a heartless thief!
