I too bought a Min Pin from Kristin Wiggins when she was in Kansas. She would not let us come to her home to get our puppy she made us meet her at the store about 15 mins from her home. She said she has too much going for us to come to her home.

We picked our puppy up at 7 weeks. We paid Kristin $300 to have his ears cropped. We were charged $750 for our puppy.

Our puppy had Kennel Cough when we picked him up. We brought him to the vet 2 days after getting him and our vet was shocked that a breeder would let him go since he was so sick.

We had to leave him at the vet for 5 days which ended up costing around $850 for the care, meds, x-rays and IVs that our poor new puppy had to have just to stay alive.

When we got him back the vet asked when were his ears were cropped because they looked like they were done at the kennel where we bought him. I told the vet that we paid the breeder $300 to bring him to her vet to have his ears cropped. Our vet said that the vets in the Kansas City/Baldwin City area only charge $75 to $125 to do ear cropping and it is done right.

Our puppy's ears were not cropped nice at all. Our vet said he would fix them when we bring him in to get neutered at 4 - 5 months. He also said that the puppy has a heart murmur and will need to be checked often to make sure it does not get any worse.

Our puppy at 7 weeks had a stage 2 heart murmur. The vet said he may be able to live a full life but we cant let him run and play too much because if his heart starts going to fast for a long time his little heart may stop and our poor baby would die. We are so upset about all this. We bought a puppy to be part of our family for many years to come.

We are an active family that is on the go all the time. Our current Min Pin that we have had the pleasure of living with for 6 years, loves to go everywhere with us and we wanted the new puppy to do the same thing. But since our vet has told us he cant be on the go we are having to stay home much more in order to spend time with him.

It is so sad to see a puppy cry because he wants to be outside running around and playing. It is so hard for us not to let him. He is a wonderful puppy, He has a wonderful personality and we love him so much.

We have had him 3 months now and we brought him to our vet to attempt to have him neutered and our vet has told us that our puppy "Sampson" is not strong enough to be neutered. His heart murmur is now a stage 4 and he cant be neutered because it may kill him. We have also been told that he will not live much longer.

Our vet said we will be lucky if he lives until his 1st birthday. We are so sad to hear this. We love this puppy so much and now we have to find a way to tell our 2 kids that Sampson is dying.

I don't even know how to do this as my kids are 5 and 8 years old and they love animals so much. Our kids have never lost a pet or even anyone in our family. This breaks my heart so much. All we wanted is a wonderful family pet.

Parents are supposed to keep their kids from being sad, feeling pain and now we have to tell them this poor puppy that we have only had for a few months is going to die.

I am understandably angry with Kristin Wiggins and K-Lynn's Min Pins for not having our puppy checked by a vet before sending him to live with us . I am glad we did have a few months to love Sampson but I wish my kids did not have to go through this pain.

We tried to contact K-Lynn's about our puppy but all she said is he was fine when he was here. I mailed her the vet paperwork that said he was so sick and had a heart murmur when we got him and we never got a response from her.

My wife and I decided to Google the breeder (Kristin Wiggins and K-Lunns Min Pins) and found that there are other people that she has done this too before. She gets your money and you get a sick puppy. She breeds for the money not the welfare of the puppies.

She only cared about the money we paid for him. She would not take our calls after she knew our puppy was so sick. I sent her one last email to show her the vet report that our puppy was dying from something that is because of her breedings and I never got anything back from her.

I am glad I was so angry when I found out that our Sampson was dying because I would of never found this site and other sites so that other people can see what happened to us and our experience with Kristin Wiggins and K-Lynn's Min Pins.

I would never recommend her to anyone she will break you families heart!! There is no excuse for this!! These poor puppies are the ones that will hurt the most!!

Anna has FIVE litters on the ground and has no where to place ads...

AUTHOR: Enchanted Buyer - - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, January 26, 2009

Devils Advicate -

Anna has been banned from selling puppies on line with MOST puppy sites... there have been so many complaints against her...

The thing is they ask for EVIDENCE of wrong doing, after the abuse of Shannon's cresteds and the internet fraud, the case number from the sherrif and the KA ZILLION pages of the report... they have banned her...

Everyone is watching from rescues, to buyer, all animal lovers and all the min Pin breeders and TONS more people... she gets flagged everytime she turns around... and IT IS NOT FROM ME...

She even tried to say she was from Grand Forks, Minnesota in her ads... then put up a free websitew with no names but pictures that gave her away...

And for the commnet on my RUBIE who just whelped three pups... LOL

Rubie goes into heat sometime 4 months, 6 month and has even waited 8 months - And as far as Jazmines concerned... my vet checked her twice...

No heart issues PERIOD... he is not willing to lose his license over a lie...

Also... we also heard Anna sodl that puppy for $500 bucks, so which is it Anna???

I have not changed my name or my site ...I will remain who I am, I am very proud of what I have accomplishe WITH NO HELP FROM OTHERS... this is my site and my KNOWLEDGE of health and the breed! I try to learn something new everyday to better myself and my breeding program...

I agree this is SUCH a SAGA... goto my site it says it all nd I have anew page for viewing! Kristin

There are others, but since she tends to come up, and this seems to be an ongoing saga, I would like to note that Anna Goodnoe says she is no longer breeding in this report.

Lets state some facts here

AUTHOR: Devilsadvocate4education*just My Opinions* - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, January 26, 2009

This is not the first time I have noted the fact that complaints about this breeder ALL OF THE SUDDEN started popping up left and right. There is no history. I do not know, nor have I met any one of these people, but am always interested in learning the truth, and maybe offering advice or help if I can, and educating those for future reference whenever possible. Now, I have a few questions, if you really do have a puppy with a problem, why didn't you follow your contract? It says to send a copy of the records, and a note from the vet with letter head and info, and it will be forwarded to her vet, and they must concur, and they will consult with your vet. You didn't do that by your own admission. If your complaint is legit, it came at a bad time. And if it's legit, you still have time to follow the PROPER procedure. Send copies of ALL your records, from the beginning, and a letter from your vet certified. It can't just be your word, and they have the right to review the history. There are even certain medications that can cause heart problems. Low grade heart murmers can be common in puppies, and can resolve with time and lowered stress levels depending on type and grade. Heck, high stress can cause a murmer to show for a short time. Any one reading this should go to this breeder's site and read it carefully. The information posted is way to specific and detailed, has alot of hallmarks of a good breeder. Remember, detailed info about contracts and their animals posted on a breeder's site can get them in some deep stuff later on if it's all crap, misleading, or they don't regularly uphold it, so alot of the bad ones keep things as minimal as possible, both on their website and in their contracts. This breeder seems to try to make everything as clear as possible so to avoid misunderstandings. She also makes sure that it is posted on the front page that her breed may not be right for everyone (this is a big one for me). Goes over some common issues a bit. I would be hard pressed to find a vet in my town that crops ears for less than $300. And not all do a good job either. I also know ALOT of vets, and they have no idea what someone else in a different area charges for things unless they JUST came from there, and even then, it is a by clinic basis. Different vets charge differently. Period. Just like different vets have more experience with certain areas or breeds than others. Where did you find other complaints from people in the same situation that did not just show up recently? I would like to look into it.

Anna and Aaron Goodnoe's of the disgraced kennel Enchanted Ridge and their M.O.

AUTHOR: Bev - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, January 26, 2009

I have had dealings with both Enchanted Ridge and Klynn Min Pins. I currently have a case pending in Phoenix against Enchanted Ridge, Aaron and Anna Goodnoe you may read all the updates including email communication between me and the Goodnoe's. This is obviously as case of the Goodnoe's attempt to "GET EVEN" with a reputable breeder.

My dealings with Kristin have been really good, I would not hesitate to purchase a dog from her. Her breeding program is outstanding as well as her dogs and their lines. You will never go wrong if you purchase from her, she stands by her word and her contract.

There is a saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I have had the opportunity to view some very disturbing pictures of dogs that Anna Goodnoe had custody of. The Chinese Crested that Anna had, went to her in good health with sound minds the pictures of these beautiful animals showed really healthy looking animals, when these animals were returned the animals shape was really poor, it was obvious that these animals were abused and neglected and kept in Trailer Trash conditions.

Check out the Stop Anna Goodnoe website. This review was written by Anna Goodnoe that much is very evident. As no vet name was provided, no links to documented proof, in fact no proof at all, just the GOODNOE's and their word which according to my experience is not at all honorable. The character of a person says alot about them, the Goodnoe's character is more then flawed and my experience with them was one of the most horrific I've had to face with someone who claimed to be a reputable breeder. No reputable breeder would behave as Anna and Aaron Goodnoe have done.

My experience with Kristin has been honest with a strength of character that shows in every communication and all her dealings. Like I've said before, you be the Judge, run a quick ripoffreport search on Enchanted Ridge, Anna Goodnoe or Aaron Goodnoe read all the email communications and updates.

I am sorry.... who are you?? I have never sold a DOG to Missouri!

AUTHOR: Enchanted Buyer - - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, January 25, 2009

Hello folks... I have now spent my Sunday afternoon, chasing down ROR after ROR form THIS insane breeder ANNA GOODNOE! This is THE THIRD posting today on the 25th of January....

Once again, I have never sold a puppy to the PUPPY MILL CAPITAL of the world MO. - I you choose to blieve this... go ahead. Read the other postings ON Anna, she has threatened to come to my house and thrown TAINTED meat for my dogs to eat it and die or suffer.

Now she tells me she is planning on ruining my repustation by SLANDERING my good name all over the interenet, day after day on this site, becasue they WILL NOT REMOVE it.

And the reason why is we are going after her and trying to shut her PUPPY MILL down in North Dakota... research the name Anna Goodnoe.

I am sorry for the fact my buyers have to read this trash and for that matter ANYONE in general.

Don't Worry Anna - This will be taken to the Sheriff of your state - DO NO BLIEVE THE POST! Kristin
