Patricia Rockstroh - Black Knight Arabians Cocker pups Fort Atkinson Wisconsin

Seller and buyer are working past the hurt from this situation. Life is too short to stay mad or angry. 

Seller is working on giving a free puppy of choice to buyer after addendums to original complaints or removal of them as seller has done everything she can to ensure healthy lines and proper socialization has been given to give each puppy a long lasting life and start in their new family. Seller is sincerly very sorry for buyers emotional pain and financial burden from the health issues that occured. When you are hurt sometimes emotions can get the best of you and you say and do things that later in life you realize may not have been the best of choice. Heres to a beautiful friendship and many updates as the new pup grows. 

It will be 2 years in Nov of this year that I lost my
"replacement" puppy. I loved both of my boys and we went thru many training classes and my 1st one was almost finished with his CGC cert. No amount of money or training could have stopped the pain and suffering they went thru and the heartache I felt with their loss. If I didn't care I wouldn't be trying to prevent another sweet puppy to go thru this.

To try to take her to court wouldn't do any good because the state of Wisconsin only has laws to protect the seller. Her contract states that after 72 hours with a vet clearance the buyer is held responsible for any other vet care needed and if the vet found anything in the 72 hours a replacement puppy will be provided.Both of my boys where considered my children by everyone including my hairdresser.

My 1st cocker would sit on my lap while my hair was getting done and as he got to big for that he would sit next to my chair and wait until I was done. I spent a lot of time and love with them and to make the decision to put my 1st baby to sleep at 14 months from PRA which caused him to go blind in two weeks which he couldn't handle it was like cutting my heart out and then to lose Alex at months after 4 eye surgeries wasn't any easier.I am glad your cocker is doing great and aleast you still have the pride and joy to your life.

If your vet told you that the canines had genetic problems, you should have reported her to the breeding club where this person is a member. If there were genetic issues and not too much time has passed, you may be able to file a claim in small claims court to get your money back.

Tammy,

I bought a cocker pup from Patricia Rockstroh almost two years ago, and I love my dog. She's perfectly healthy in every way, and the only problems i've had are ear infections; cockers are notorious for ear infections due to their heavy ears. I don't associate with Patricia Rockstroh anymore, as her pups were quite pricey, but I love my dog and I have had no problems. The only thing I can suggest is to make her show you the pedigree of the pups. I am sorry for your loss, because I love Kaylee and if anything happened to her I would be devestated. She's definitely kind of strange, but I don't think she's an animal abuser. On top of things, she knows the family of a girl I went to high school with and so I was able to do a little bit of research. It may just be that litter of pups.
