Tammy "Workman" Gilchrist Trying to say I ripped them off... Cloverdale, INCloverdale Indiana

I talked to "Kim" the dog babysitter over the phone and was told of a couple of female pugs (I wanted pugs). She was very friendly and made it sound like the parents were on site.

Saturday, April 23,2008, I made the 3 hour trip to her house. At that time, I found out she was not the breeder, she was the "babysitter" for people who go out of town and leave their dogs with her! The "itty bitty" pup I wanted looked like she was a pug. I paid her asking price of $800.00 cash! My husband couldn't handle the thought of removing her from her sister (the sister looks more like a beagle) so we bought her. She was to be $600, but because we were buying both we got her for $400.00 $200 was a check because I was not prepared to buy 2 dogs.

On Monday, April 25, 2008 we took both pups to our vet for a well puppy check. I was told I had 3 days in which to return them if something wrong. Vet found that bigger of 2 pups was a "mutt" probably beagle and pug. The smaller is a hermatrophyte (both vulva and testicles). Thinks she is probably a mix also. She had a skin infection and her fontanel was still open and it should have been closed by then.

I called "Kim" right away. She was shocked! She agreed that I should not be charged full price for the little one, she said she would mail my check back to me the next day and would talk to the owners about further discounting my price on the dog.

I left several messages for her that first week but she never called back and I never received the check.

On May 27, 2008 Kim called and left a message on my cell. Said they had turned over my canceled check to the prosecutor and were looking for 6 times the original value. Said I was being vindictive and mean because I wanted to keep the dogs and not pay full price (no way do I want those poor pups to go back to them). I would like to see them shut down! She made threats, but after I read a complaint on here about them, I am not worrying. If I have to go to court, I am taking copies of whatever I find online!

Some people just can't help making a name for themselves! If help is needed to take out of business, breeders like this I am happy to help.

If anything more happens, I will update.
