D&A KENNELS, JUST PUPPIES,LTD PURCHASED ENGLISH BULLDOG FROM ANTON IN JUNE 2010 AND SHE IS NOW DEAD!!!!! BROOKLYN, New York

On June 19 2010, we purchased an English Bulldog from Anton.  Well we just put her down this past week due to renal failure.   The veterinarians discovered Stella had one large kidney and one very small one that was non functional.  They said she had Kidney Dysplasia which is  inherited from her parents.   Stella also had a cherry eye which she developed six months after we got  her.   We didn't make a big deal about the cherry eye because we were told by the vet that this was a common occurence in bullies.  We did have it taken care of, but the vet who did the surgery advised it may very well come back. And it did.

Today, 9/29/2013, I have tried to call Anton at the telephone numbers listed on the paperwork he gave us and no answer.  I read one of the complaints which stated that Anton told the buyers not to take the puppy to a vet for 14 days because he was up to date on his shots;we were also told it wasn't necessary to go to a vet for two weeks.  

Stella was always a heavy water drinker and urinated a lot.  Anton said that this was normal for a bullie.  I didn't have too many health issues with Stella until the last  week or so when she would vomit her food or would not eat at all; she was listless and had trouble walking.  We took her to the vet and they diagnosed her with stage 4 renal failure, kidney dysplasia an inherited problem; heart murmur......she was in the hospital for four days on antiobiotics and intravenous until these wonderful compassionate vets told us to put her to rest.  We have not stopped crying.....

I read my "Lifetime Guarantee" and see that there is some retribution, but cannot get Anton.   That is why I started some research and found this website with all these terrible complaints about this guy. 

He sounded so reputable and sincere.  Anton even gave us the names of Stella's parents:   Chubby Louie II and Chunky Monkey along with their registration numbers.  Anton even told us that one of his bullies was on Broadway.  Now while we were there purchasing our sweet Stella, he did get a call and he seemed to be a bit miffed at the woman at the other end who seemed to be complaining.

Most of the complaints I have read are from 2009 2010 and 2011.  It is possible that Anton has been caught up to and put out of business.  But I will keep trying to contact him.......Our vet bill came to $4800.......but the sadness is overwhelming for the loss of our precious 3 1/2 year old Stella.
