Purchased a German Shepherd pup from supposed breeder in Baltimore. Sent cash via Walmart direct transfer. picked up by Henry Achu. Dealt with by phone and email with Jeffrey Hazzeal. Originally they called their site: Russel Friendly Companions. the offer was free shipping which most all breeders in US do. Mr. Hazzeal said he took pup to airport to ship and was notified of a change in insurance regulations by Maryland and they wanted $970 for insurance to ship the pup. I noted that the pup who I supposedly purchased for $550 was valued at $1300 which of course upped the premium. they said the money would be returned when the pup arrived. How was not specified. I refused and said that wasn't part of the deal. he then said that he found another carrier who was willing to forget the insurance part but needed $300 for shipping. Hazzeal said that they refused to honor his free shipping ticket. I said forget it, send my money back. He stalled for a while and Kept emailing him and received an email that they were working on getting my money back to me. I have copies of most of the emails with this man that show proof of what i am saying.
This has been reported to the FBi in Baltimore but I have not heard back from them. Intend to call them again today to see what is happening. I filed a legitimte online claim form at their request.
I have read the other reports from people who have been fraudulently conned by these people. As of today, their website Lutrellshutzhaus is still up on the internet. their pups shown are the same ones that I originally saw on their frist site, RussellRoyalShepherds.
they are clearly a fraud and I wonder how at this point they can be officially shut down and those people arrested and put in jail.
I have also been taken for money from this person or as I would say Low Life scum!!
He also told us the same thing. I will be calling the police as well. People that do this need to be put away and never be able to see the light of day!
We ordered Paxton on Monday of this week, November 7th, 2016 and this morning, she was to be delivered to us. Its Veteran's Day and my husband wanted her today, as he is active reserve on this day. We got an email from the Breeder, David Loerman from his gmail accoutn stating that she was being dropped off at the airport and all was ok with her. She was healhty and was able to make her flight. That email was around 6:00 am Central time. About 7:30 we received another email stating that there was some issues with her as she had no pet insurance. Then there was email sent with over 900.00 in fees and charges that needed to be paid before we could receive Paxton (or Macy or what ever picture was up of her, another report stated that these people were using the same pictures of their dogs just changing the name).
Located at website that offered german shepard puppies for sale. Contacted them using their contact information page. They replied back. First call the man was hard to understand so he said he'd send information by email. Next contact was the agreement for a puppy for $550 which included transportation to our home. We sent the money ny western union because the "david" didn't want to deal with personal credit cards and claims less fees involved with Western Union. He guaranteed we would have the puppy Monday night.then the shipping company calles/emails.stating the government implemented a insurance policy for the transportation of animals by plane. Said we need to pay $970.00 with 98% refunded once the puppy was delivered. It was to come in at O'Hara International Airport in Chicago then a delivery to our house by 9:30pm. I contacted the airport and found out there was no such mandatory policy but they said we could waive any other flight insurance and assume the risk.
So I notified both the shipping company and the puppy seller of that and they countered with need to pay $270.00 for plane ticket. I informed them about the agreement with the seller our purchase price included delivery to our home and that the seller needs to ship the puppy as agreed or refund the money. They both stopped communicating with me. They don't reply to any text,emails, voice message, simply stopped communicating
The lutrell shutz haus website at http://lutrellshutzhaus.com/ offers german shepherd puppies for sale at $500 per dog. When i reached out via their phone number (443) 842-6407 a man calling himself david loerman Who has a heavy accent) answered & after providing basic contact information sent the following email:

Receiver ...Gerald kirby
State ...Maryland
City ...Baltimore
Zipcode...
Amount ...$550
The above amount includes home delivery fees which is $500 for the puppies and $50 for home delivery charges, which means upon arrival at the airport, she would be delivered to your house directly using a delivery service van from the airport on the day she arrive. Email us a picture of the receipt soon as you get done with the payment so we can proceed. Thanks and looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
Best regards.”
I asked david for his address and he responded:
“we are located at 2617 allendale rd, baltimore maryland 21216, thank you.”
I then advised david via email [his email: [email protected]] that i need to verify the puppies are at the address he provided and asked, “would you be available at this address during the week if i contact a real estate agent in your area to follow up? I also have a friend in the general area that i can request to stop by but need to ask.”
As this point i didn’t hear back from him anymore. One other thing, david asked me what dog i wanted. I selected macy and he provided some pictures of macy. There are currently pictures of 7 german shepherd puppies on their website. One of the pictures that david sent via email of macy was actually posted for on his website for another dog named paxton.
I called the baltimore, md police department who took david’s phone number and asked me to call the baltimore fraud dept at: 410 396-2400. I left them a message.
This person actually sent money and didn’t hear back. The offer for $500 per dog is supposed to include free shipping. It seems they tried to extort more money out of this person by pretending that shipping regulations changed and therefore more money was required. This person didn’t hear back from them anymore either after attempting a refund. The other report was filed just s day before mine and can be found at:

rip off
I have also been taken for money from this person or as I would say Low Life scum!!

I found Lutrell Shutz Haus websit looking for German Shepherd puppies.
I found the site attractive and it appealed to me because the puppies were less expensive than other breeders I
found on similar websites. He had numerous questions and the transaction of money was unusual. (Wallmart to Wallmart)
When expecting the puppy to be shipped the day I requested, I received an email stating there is a fee of $970 to
cover the flight insurance of the puppy due to its young age, and refundable whe the puppy arrive safely
I am disgusted and furious that this person/persons are making the dog breeding business a horrible experience for hard work
ing citizens!!
