In June of 2005 my husband and I finally,after many months of searching, found the puppy we had been wanting for years. I contacted Mary Maczko after seeing the English Bulldog on their website. We sent them a total of $2400 in one lump sum so that we could get the dog the next day. I was working at Fort Jackson in Columbia at the time as a nurse and had plans to meet a friend of Mary and Tammy's after I got off work to pick up the puppy as they were supposedly in Texas delivering a puppy.

We used Paypal to send the money and kept the receipt with the terms included that the puppy was able to be registered through FCI and AKC and a one year health guarantee. I picked up the puppy (Otis) the next day and was very pleased with him. He was very loving and playful but dirty. I was told that there wasn't enough time to get him bathed and he had a little cough. When I inquired about the paperwork, I was told that Mary and/or Tammy would get in touch with me. I did speak with Mary and made plans to go to her house to pay the $125 registration fee for FCI and so they could "give Otis a kiss goodbye".

My mother-in-law, my son, Otis the puppy and myself went to Mary and Tammy's house as planned. I gave Tammy a check for $125 for the registration. It was deposited and cleared within two days. We have emailed and called numerous times regarding the pedigree paperwork and have still not received anything. I have been given many excuses such as....the weather in Russia has been bad and the mail is behind, we have been very sick, dying family member, the man at Kinko's lost the paperwork that we faxed......the list goes on and on. As of now, it has been one week since our last email and have still not received a response. We are very happy with the dog--he is now a member of our family--however we would like to mate him with another registered English bulldog and we can't. Mary gave us a discount of $100 off the purchase price because we agreed to allow her to use Otis as a stud one time. The last time I spoke with Mary she told me "don't worry about the papers. I can't use him either until the papers come in" (very rudely may I add).

I am normally a very easy going person and always try to see the good in everyone, however my husband and I have been ripped off!!! We will be seeking legal action if we do not receive the completed and filed registration paperwork from the FCI that we have paid for.
