Nobody likes puppy mills.  The only think I think people hate more than puppy mills are child molesters.  Here's the story of a puppy mill operator that also rips people off.  He's a special kind of jerk.  I think your viewers would be interested in seeing you shut this guy down.    
 
In a nutshell....
 
Well, let me introduce you to a puppy mill that has taken things to the next level.  They produce an unimaginable amount of dogs per year, but also rip people off and refuse to ship dogs or refund people their money.  There's really no telling how many people.  This guy is he's operating freely because it's difficult to sue him for just a few thousand out of state.    
 
I'm a Dallas resident that just recently paid $1200 for a Belgian Malinois from an Atlanta breeder.  This was to be the second dog I purchased from breeder, Eric Winstead.  Malinios are a popular law enforcement and military working dog.  They're amazing animals.  
 
Tragically, Remi, my first malinois passed at 5 years of age just over 4 weeks ago.  My family was crushed, as this was more than a pet.  He was a handgun, an alarm system, and best friend all rolled into one.  When my daughter was scared at night, who would she ask for?  Remi.  Despite coming from Eric, Remi was the best dog ever.  I still don't know how he died.  
 
Anyways, after Remi passed, I contacted Eric.  "oh, I'll give you a good deal. I've got a litter that just now ready."  Without thinking about it, I told him that I wanted one.  Very emotional decision.  I did no research, because everything went smoothly with Remi.  Since then, numerous complaints have shown up online.  
 
It took me two weeks to get the money together.  I just had surgery, and wasn't exactly budgeting for a new dog.  Eric knew this, but I got the money.  I did everything I said I would with Eric.  He got the money to him on the day I said he would, and he refuses to ship the animal.  He keeps saying that the airline won't let him, or that it's too hot.  It's a 2 hour flight.  The dog can be shipped in the morning, just fine.
 
He's missed 3 ship dates, and won't give me a refund or a definite ship date.  On his last missed ship, he told me that he was turned away at AA cargo because of the crate.  This guy ships dogs all the time, I knew that was BS.  So, I called AA Cargo in Atlanta.  They told me no one had been in there with a dog that day.  
 
I told him I wanted him to get on the next flight, as my daughter is super bummed every day the dog doesn't show (and this has been going on for a while).  Of course he gets super defensive, and tries to turn it on me, which immediately sets of my BS detector.  
 
Well, we started doing research, and it's not pretty.  He's apparently a total puppy mill.  Ships over 250 dogs per year.  (highly discouraged me from picking up the dog in person).  He also takes deposits and doesn't ship dogs.  Here are some of the reviews I'm finding online about him.  I'm surprised no one has listed him on here before.

Buyer Refused to Pay the Balance

AUTHOR: K-9 Training - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, August 14, 2015

We are a training facility for Police and Military Dogs. We are a small breeder of 2-3 litters a year of the Top Working Dogs in the country. We have been in business 28 years and have titled over 50 dogs. We have been working with many differant Law Enforcement Agencies around the US and Many Military Units getting their dogs ready for deployment. All dogs are sold with a contract, 3 Year Health Guarantee and a 1 Year Work Ability Guarantee. EVERYTHING IS IN WRITING!

Mr. Miller Purchased a dog 5 years ago from us. He had never been MORE HAPPY as he had NO PROBLEMS. He states this very clearly. Mr. Miller called me up begging me to help him. He stated the dog he purchased for us 5 years ago named Remi died. He stated that he left him in the car and he over heated and died. He stated that his family was crushed and could we help him get another dog. We agreed to try to help him. We sold him a puppy for the sum of $2500.00. He stated to us he did not have all the money at the time but his family was going to help him. He asked if we would take a $1200.00 Non- Refundable deposit and in a week he would pay the balance and the shipping of the dog.

FACTS:

1). Truth - Mr. Miller purchased a dog 5 years ago name Remi and had no problem and wanted another of our incredible dogs

2) Truth - Mr. Miller left his dog in a HOT Car to suffer to death

3) Truth - We agree to help Mr. Miller and agree to sell him a dog for the sum of 2500.00 and have signed contract.

4) Truth -  Mr. Miller signed contract agreeing to send a $1200.00 non-refundable deposit and balance plus shipping the next week.

5) Truth -  We made 3 differant arrangement to ship the dog and all fell throw because Mr. Miller would NOT PAY the balance owed of the dog. Mr Miller Keep trying to get us to sed the dog with out payment. Mr. Miller keep stating the he would wire the money and never did.

6) Truth - Mr. Miller to this date still owes us $1800.00

7) Truth - Mr. Miller has went all over the enternet and complaint Sites making faults statement under may differant names trying to make us look bad.

8) FAULTS - We are NOT a puppy mill. We welcome anyone to come to are incredible facility and check it out. We will be happy to show you around and do a demo for you. We have a state of the art training facility. We only have a total of ten dogs here at one time. That includes sale dogs, our dogs and training dogs. FAR from a puppy mill.

9) Truth - Because of our EXCELLENT Reputation we do ship dogs for the Police and Military all over the world. They trust in us and our HIGH Reputation to make sure their dogs our shipped out and deployed in were in the US

Mr. Miller sure tells alot of un truthful thing. The fact is the Mr. Miller refuded to pay for the dog he purchased. If he would have done what he was suppose to and paid the balance he would have another incredible dog from us. We have even been nice by telling Mr. Miller that when he does have the balnce we would be happy to transfer his deposit and send him another dog. He even post a link that shows several clients that were very happy with us "CRAZY" 

We are happy at any time to give anyone contact number of clients that will state a complete different story. That they have been happy with our services from the beggining. You are also have to produce all emails, certified letters of demand, contracts and text showing that Mr. Miller is NOT telling the truth but making FAULTS CLAIM. We also invited anyone out to come visit our state of the art facility and let us help educate you on the work dogs with a demo.
