I purchased a black and white shihtzu from shihtzu by burnwood about 3 years ago. I went to their home to see the puppy and then gave them a deposit of $300.00. I was told that I could visit the puppy every week on sunday just to call ahead.

When i atempted to do this weird things began to happen.
Carolyn tried to say i had called threatening her and that I would loose my deposit and could not purchase a dog from them.

Well after much calling I did recieve my puppy.I think they finally gave me the puppy because I live locally and knew where they lived. If i had lived out of state I would probably not have gotten my deposit or my puppy. I got her at 6 weeks old. She was not fully weened and had alot of trouble adjusting.

Fortunatly she did not have any health issues. I did not recieve any paperwork with my puppy, and i was told she was show quality. I have found out later she is puppy quality and not show quality and I paid way too much money for her.

I went back to the burnwoods to look at another puppy about 2 years ago. They met me and my husband at an apartment and brought what they called IMPERIAL SHIHTZU'S THERE IS NO SUCH THING. THIS IS THEIR WAY OF GETTING MORE MONEY FOR THE PUPPIES.

The puppies looked sickly and we did not purchase one of them. They wanted $1200.00 for each of them. They are definatley running a puppy mill and I feel sorry for all the puppies that are being born to their dogs. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM THESE PEOPLE.

Contact the akc shihtzu association for a breeder where you can buy a puppy that does not come from a puppy mill and that will have health problems later on in life. I did purchase another shihtzu from an akc approved breeder in virginia and there is a world of difference between my first and second dog. I love the puppy I got from the burnwoods but if I had to do it again I would not purchase a dog from them.

THESE PEOPLE ARE DEFINATLY CON ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!

#1 Consumer Suggestion

These were great Breeders

AUTHOR: Shelley - San Jose (U.S.A.)

I bought two GORGEOUS Shih Tzu's from them several years ago. These were absolutely wonderful people, and I had no problem! Why would you go back a second time and try to obtain another shih tzu if you were not happy with this first one, this makes no sense? I saw no where on their website that there puppies were show quality. This is absolutely terrible that all these people would say such horrific things about the burnwood's who were nothing but good people to our family and to our neighbors who we referred. SO VERY SAD!

FYI-Burham (Burnwood) Breeder arrested!!! Raleigh, NC

WAKE COUNTY (WTVD) --
Two people are under arrest, charged with 10 counts each of animal cruelty, after 67 dogs and three cats were taken from their home.
Police say Carolyn Sue Burnham and Barbara Von Woodworth kept the dogs at a house on Professor Street. The ten felony charges facing each of them correspond to the number of dogs that had to be euthanized. Officers were called to their home late Thursday morning after getting a report that the animals were being mistreated.
Of the 70 total animals, 51 dogs were surrendered by the owners, while the remaining 16 dogs and three cats are being held under protective
custody.

Police spokesman Jim Sughrue says the animals were taken to the Wake County Animal Center for evaluation.
Joanne Duda with the shelter says the dogs had been crowded into cages, sometimes two or three at a time. Duda says some of the animals had tumors and open sores. Some have been euthanized.

A woman who answered the door of the home would not talk about the situation. The animals are currently being cared for through the Wake County Animal Center, and various rescue and foster partners.
