Debra Bourassa Debra Drury Debra Bourassa aka Debra Drury Munchkinland Chihuahuas - Backed out of our contract to sell my dog for more money Manteca, California

Wow....looks like Munchkinland lady spends all day in front of her computer doing damage control for all the complaints that arise against her.  She is harassing us with emails and phone calls to take down our complaint post or she will get a lawyer to contact me.  Bring it on lady, I encourage it.  Wait til your lawyer sees what you've done to us and countless others.  He'll drop you like a hot rock and file a class-action on you.  We are just another in the long-line of victims.
She says we said "Sell me the dog OR ELSE??"  Sounds like somebody has been watching too many Magnum PI re-runs.  Not only did we never make this statement but even if she had offered to save-face and sell us the dog at the original contract price, we wouldn't have consented.  We wouldn't give her a penny to encourage her operating her fraudulent business. Let's not forget that this is what soured this business relationship, MUNCHKINLAND BREACHED THE CONTRACT. 
Read the contract below, nowhere does it state Munchkinland has the authority to exit the contract because of children in the home, as she is claiming why she wouldn't sell us the dog even after we made our deposit and first payment. 
Also, the claim that she so adamantly denies about my friend contacting her the next day when the dog miraculously went from a puppy with possible health problems to a $4500 dog?  That communication was made via email....we have it in writing!
She's grasping at straws trying to defend her name and saying we tried to screw her out of money.  We paid her everytime she asked - even went to HER bank to deposit the money directly into her account at her suggestion. (I know, that should have been a red flag and I am really more intelligent than that but was so blinded by wanting that puppy that I did it anyway)  So any bookeeping mistakes are on her end because she's pushing too many puppies through her mill.We had planned on settling up the difference when we were asked for our next payment, but that never came. Anyhow, does it make sense that we tried to take her for $125 when we offered to pay for the hundred and possibly into the thousands for the tests she claimed the puppy needs?  
I was going to leave out the details on her mental incompetence because I thought it was too malicious but since she saw the need to insult my intelligence I guess I have no choice.  We have seen this repeatedly in the other complaints as well.   She constantly mixed up important details, ie arranging to send my dog to Kentucky vs. Texas, repeatedly losing contact info, payment info, etc.  She operates behind a blocked cell phone number.  And any time you deal with her, she, her friends, or her family are always on the brink of some medical disaster and she can't be bothered.  
One thing you read over and over in the complaints against her is how vindictive she is and how she turns on people.  Because we exposed her, she actually filed online complaints against our business (which has NOTHING to do with dogs by the way) and labeled us as dishonest people as she has done with so many others.  She even hung up the phone on my husband when he requested a cashiers check instead of a personal check for a refund.  Seriously unprofessional.  Folks, this is the type of person you are dealing with.  Go read about the poor Canadian lady that won a lawsuit against her for selling her a sick dog.  Then out of  revenge, Debra actually called the SPCA on those poor people and made them put the dog to sleep before they were ready.  Unreal, I've never met someone so rotten to the core. 
So if you actually got a dog, you probably paid too much or she would have sold it out from under you for more.  If you are considering buying a dog from her, don't just take my complaint info into consideration.  Do your own research.  These are just a few of the other names/websites she has operated under:

I am actually one of the lucky ones that got my deposit refunded.  That's because she was in such a hurry to sell her for more to someone else.   I'm so sorry to those of you whose money she just pocketed.  Any attorney or individuals who have been wronged by her, please feel free to contact me.  I'm very interested in a class-action lawsuit against her.  She has so graciously listed my business name above :-)  This can not continue. It is not OK.  Unfortunately the internet has allowed these scammers to pop up left and right.  God and Karma will eventually get her but I'd like to see it happen quicker.  There will be no more rebuttals from me as I care to waste no more negative energy on this evil woman.

Vet Examination/ Fecal exam Required -  Buyer agrees to have a Veterinarian examine purchased puppy within 48 hours of adoption, including an office fecal exam testing for parasites and worms.  
 
Fourteen Day Parvo Coverage- We use Neopar  so a puppy from us should not contract Parvo. Blood tests and fecal test for Parvo are not conclusive. In order for the seller to accept a Parvo diagnosis the Seller requires one test be done to check for illnesses that can mimic Parvo. If a puppy from us should show signs of CPV such as vomiting, diarrhea along with weakness or lack of appetite, then a fecal slide glass test must be submitted by your Vet to a lab to rule out Giardia, Campylobactor, Ecoli and Salmonella. If your puppy should die from Parvo within 14 days of buyer taking possession, the breeder will provide a free replacement puppy if the following conditions are met by the buyer:
1. Buyer must notify breeder within a few hours of puppy being ill.

Breeder require puppies have a fecal exam done at a Vet's within 48 hours of buyer taking possession. Even if the fecal is negative  Breeder advises a repeat fecal exam within 10 days of the first. Coccidea and Giardia do not cause sickness if caught and treated. Only untreated parasites result in sickness.

If a proven life threatening congenital defect is found within this time period, the buyer must notify breeder within 5 days of findings if a claim is to be made.

1. Upon return of the fatally ill dog, Seller will issue a credit of the cost of the dog, minus shipping, to be used with the Seller for a replacement puppy from one of Seller's litters.
2. Buyer may retain defective dog and still receive a replacement once the buyer has spent up to the cost of the dog in non elective medical care for a proven definite genetic defect of the heart, liver or brain.
 
If puppy is diagnosed as having a disabling, crippling, or deadly genetic defect which does result in death or euthanasia, and buyer wants to apply to seller for credit towards a new puppy, then buyer must pay for a post-mortem necropsy (autopsy) to prove genetic defect causing death. Necropsy will be performed at buyers expense. In addition, a photo of the deceased puppy/dog must be sent with the necropsy report for I.D. verification. 
Under no circumstances is purchased puppy to be euthanized without Sellers knowledge and consent.

Since we  have been online from 2005 to present  there are TWO reports written from actual REAL buyers of ours. --------TWO------------- 

Got that Lisa??? ------------TWO------------. YOURS IS ONE OF THE TWO


 The last REAL customer posted  in 2005 and I paid her $5000 refund and medical for her puppy.


So what about the other million posted? Huh? 


COMPETITION and BREEDER BASHING.



If you beleive everything you read online then how intelligent are you Lisa?

 I am writing for Debra as she is currently ill and just got out of the hospital today. I know the details and Lisa Nicholas should be ashamed.  She nor her husband  told Debra they had two small boys and Debra only found out early March when she visited the customers website and saw the photo of Lisa and Jeremy Nicholas pictured with their two VERY young sons.

There are two reasons FOR REFUND.

1.
Debra made an error and mentioned that she had a larger amount of money on file for the the Nicholas family then she really did. Lisa Nicholas did not correct Debra that she  had less money on file.  THREE TIMES over 6 weeks, when Debra emailed Lisa about going up to 50% on file Lisa never said anything. when Debra sent an email to Lisa a couple other times mentioning the incorrect amount, Lisa said nothing. I am sure if Debra has told Lisa that Lisa had LESS on file, that Lisa would have spoke up fast enough.

2. Debra did not know that Lisa and Jeremy Nicolas had young children. Debra only found out about the children when she visited The Ribbit Ranch in Briggs Texas website. 

Even though Lisa Nicholas was dishonest, Debra STILL did  forgive this and did offer the family to choose a larger puppy  that would be okay with children. Debra sent the family many emails expressing her concern over the families broken heart and encouraged them to find a puppy to heal their heart.

That this family came on here to post so many  lies and to deliberately try to harm the breeder's reputation when the breeder was trying to help them find a new puppy, shows the kind of people the Posters are.

The price the puppy was sold has nothing to do with this report and was half what Lisa thinks. A 19 oz  puppy had no business being placed into the Nicholas family.

THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT CARING ETHICAL BREEDERS WILL NOT PLACE 1 LB FOUR MONTH OLD PUPPY INTO HOMES  WITH VERY YOUNG CHILDREN.

The sale was stopped and rightfully so FOR MORE THEN ONE REASON.
