My husband and I purchased two english bulldog puppies from Teri Madeaux and Alan Griffith in Lecanto Florida on April 20, 2011 for 3,300.00 (1st puppy 1800 + 2nd puppy for 1500). In August 2011, my husband and I noticed Melvin (male puppy) was not walking correctly. After walking short distances, Melvin became easily exhausted and had difficulty moving, especially after playing. 

At that time, we had Melvin examined by veterinarians at Bay Pines Veterinary Clinic, Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital, Keene Veterinary Hospital and Midway Animal Hospital.  Upon physical examination and x-rays, Melvin was diagnosed with significant hip dysplasia (subluxation of left hip) by three different veterinarians. Both puppies lost patches of hair and sassy also had hip dysplasia. 

We called Al (Alan) and he never returned any of our calls. Left many messages so I decided to call with an unidentified phone number. Al answered and he was surprised to hear from us and indicated he would check the records and get back to us. A month passed and he never returned called and stated he was out of town. My husband and I filed a lawsuit for 3500.00 and he refused to pay. Melvin and Sassy have now passed due to severe illnesses caused by birth defects and Al continues to deny his ability to breed and blamed us. He is A phony and just another puppy mill. DO NOT TRUST THIS PERSON.... He works out of his house (trailer) and every room is filled with a different type of breed. He had 4 different breeds when we first purchased Melvin and sassy.

This is a second consumer who has now had a similar experience. This individual is a liar and I post this to only to make you aware that I also was ripped off by this couple. He does not care who he takes money from nor does he care about animals. Please please DO NOT buy anything from this individual.

The x-rays were examaned by 3 Vets, including Dr. B. in Lakeland, the best Bully Vet on the east coast. They were all in agreement. No problems. Mr. Bucks Vet would not commit to me on the phone about the dog having displacia or any of the other issues. In fact the reports which I still have show HIS Vets opionion stating there is no problems. He did not have 3 Vet opionions. He had a Legal friend try to bully and scam us into a payment. I could tell by the tone of the letters it was a scam as you cannot sue me for stem cell therapy on a dog. I still have these letters. He then tried the Fla. Lemon law. The case was CLOSED and found in my favor.

Mr. Buck represented himself to me as a disabled Vet. I promised him a discounted price on a dog. He showed up and did not have any of the injuries. I still gave him the price. He purchased a second dog and I discounted that dog. The next week it was in the paper for sale with a different female being represented as the Dam. I presume when it didn't sell he could not think of another way to recoup his losses except to resort to fraud.

I have rescued many dogs or various breeds. I obviously have them in different rooms of my house while they are in my care. I have just given away a male Bulldog. I have a 6 year old rescue for adoption now, and have 2 more Bulldogs I am socializing for adoption.

I am registered with the Ocala SPCA, which means they have inspected my home and my kennels and can come back anytime to do so. I have adopted with Precious Paws and they have inspected my property. I currently have a dog listed with both. I have had my Vets call me to take rescues as they know what kind of care they will get.

A puppy mill? I have had 2 litters this year. I kept the 2 females from 1 litter and gave the male to a friend.

3 of my girls are out of Fire Chief who was a Champion, a multipal BISS Champion and Best of Breed at Westminster. My other girl is out of Chief, Who has produced more Champions than any dog ever. His list of awards is too long to list. My other 2 dogs are my wifes personal pets. 2 fixed Maltese.

Mr. Buck, man up. Put your name on your lies. You never called. You e-mailed a few times and expected me to run around to your Vets to gather information. When I called your Vets you had not even called them to give them permission to release information to me. Your Vets would not commit to your lies or you might have won your case with the Dept. of Agriculture. ( lemon law ) While my Vets were willing to put their findings to paper and would commit to it. Maybe I payed them off, right? All 3 of them were will to be disbared for Al. I also was willing to go to a radiologist if need be. If any of my Vets had doubt I had a X-ray specialist on hand so we could be sure. I noticed you didn't see the need to go there. By the way, I offer a 2 year health warrenty on genetic issues. It is in my contract.
