I bought a show puppy from Millie Schiffer at Mella Malta maltese and when he arrived he did not have testicles. He was matted and also had an ear infection that required a vets attention. Since you cannot show a male maltese without testicles much less breed him it was nothing but fraud on Millies part. I agreed to ship the puppy directly to the handler so he could start on his show career as soon as possible- that was $350.00 just to ship him and I paid an additional $2850.00 for the puppy. When confronted with the fact that he didn't have any testicles Millie said "I didn't know"  like that was a good excuse. She calls herself a show breeder but didn't even know whether the puppy had testicles or not???   When asked if she would refund my money she said "I'll do whatever you want"  I asked her to refund my money via paypal like I had paid her.   It has been almost 3 mos now and I have not received any money back.  When I have talked to her she always gets off subject when she does answer her phone. She did sell the puppy and said when she sold him she would refund my money but of course she lied about that also.  The new puppy owner called the handler upset that she was going to spend money on surgery for him because of his testicles and when Millie sold him to her she did not tell her about this and then told the customer that the handler was the one that bred the puppy.  You can imagine the handlers surprise when she got this phone call about a puppy that was not her breeding.  the handler and I were wondering why she would tell this woman this lie?The owner of the puppy said that Millie had about 15 dogs and all of them were dirty.All of this has been very upsetting to me but also the handler had to take the puppy to the vet and then ship him back to Millie.  a lot of trouble for nothing not even an apology to either one of us.  I just want my money back!! Ive attached the report from the vet showing that the pups testicles had not descended and he was about 6 mos old.

 I have gotten my show dog and the AKC papers and he is on the show circuit now and hopefully is going to be a winner!  Gogeous dog with a wonderful  personality.  Although Millie and I had a tough beginning we have gotten everything squared away and look forward to working with each other. Thanks Millie for a great dog!

will pick show pup from 2 pups from Millie

AUTHOR: Elaine - ()

POSTED: Sunday, August 04, 2013

 Update on the show puppy from millie at mella malta Maltese.  I talked with Mille last night  again and she said that only 2 pups were born one boy and one girl and she was keeping the girl. We agreed again before her friend?? butted in and  spouted off, that I would get the boy if he turned out to be show quality and I agreed so of this goes off without a hitch the whole thing will be settled and I will be satisfied. Millie said her friend did not know all the facts about the incidence and she had asked her to stay out of it. Hoepfully everything will go fine  and this whole matter will be settled before long and I will have a nice pup to show.

what nerve???

AUTHOR: Elaine - ()

POSTED: Saturday, August 03, 2013

I don't know who you are but it is obvious you are an IDIOT!!! All you have to do is click on the vets report to enlarge the report-proof from the vet. I did not say Millies dogs are unhealthy I told a fact that the puppy she sent to the handler Karin Conti had an ear infection(Mites)  Why would I pay  a shipping fee to have a puppy flown to a show dog handler if it wasn't SUPPPOSED to be a show puppy????.  That vet report is from Karen Conti's Vet when she got the puppy and realized the pup did not have testicles and could not be shown.  

so Millie stole $2850.0 from me !!! Thats not counting the amount I spent on shipping ($350.)the dog to the SHOW DOG HANDLER. (Karen Conti).  Millie has several reports on Rip off report  so you are saying everyone is lying ???? I know in my case i,she has taken money from me for a show dog and I don't have one.  I knew you were listening last night and nothing you say is true and you know it!!!!!. 

Millie told me she had bred Camilla and Marco  and had 3 boys and 1 girl and that I could some to her house and pick the one I want. when they are ready!!  Also in that call She asked me to remove the rip off report off ,but i told her that it cannot be taken off but that i would do an update and explain  that she had agreed to let me have the pick of the litter mentioned above.Millie accused me of not answering her calls so if i was calling her andbugging her why would she say this??? I did do an update last night after millie and I talked. 

I have several Maltese and I love my dogs.  I have plenty of pets and I  did not pay that amount of money for a pet.  I kept texting Millie that I wanted to resolve this issue without going to rip off report but she would not  refund my money although she said she would do so back in May.right before Memeorial day. No one would just let someone steal $2,850.00 from them without some kind of legal  action..  I gave her plenty of chances to fix this problem and she did not refund the money so I finally agreed to take a show puppy instead and I would come and get it when it was ready and she agreed with this solution.  Why you are writing this rebuttal which is nothing but lies lies and more lies.!!!

Also about  your suggestion of moving on you can bet I WILL NOT and if I have to I will come up there and  file a charge in court and then all these so called lies about Millie and Harry will all come out and the real truth will be known.

Shocked and disgusted

AUTHOR: Sandy - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 02, 2013

 I am responding to the lady who CLAIMS she received a maltese without testicles...I believe this is a HOAX...and I demand proof of your allegations..first of all,I live nearby Millie and Harry and I know for a fact that their dogs are beautiful,clean,Loved and well taken care of.It's really sad how some people have nothing better to do than spread lies and  attack two of the kindest people I know.Millie is going through an extremely tough time right now,with the recent loss of a loved one and her husbands battle with his health...if you have one ounce of decency in you,you would quit spreading lies about these two amazing people,and look somewhere else to get your dog,and quit bad mouthing and trying to ruin their reputation.

You claim you received a dog and it required surgery,when in fact,this is not true! I saw that you attached a "so called Vet receipt" on your post. It's amazing how it's so small you can't even read what it says. If anything you say is true, I challenge you to prove it. Millie and Harry have a very successful, honest business, and if someone legitimately wants a beautiful maltese to love and cherish, they will move heaven and earth to maKE sure they receive it. That's only for people who really want a maltese that they promise to love and take care of. For anyone out there who has anything illegal in mind, to do with these Maltese beauties, you need to look elsewhere...and don't be vindictive and angry because Millie and Harry won't listen to your senseless ramblings...Grow up and leave them alone...You are only hurting yourself, because you will reap what you sow.

By the way, I was on the phone with Millie, when you text her earlier. She did not respond to you, so why did you make up that story that she agreed to give you a show puppy? REALLY!!!!! She said no such thing to you. In order for someone to agree to do something for you, you’d actually have to talk with them, which you did not! If you thought her dogs were so unhealthy, then why would you want one so bad? Makes no sense… Just move on, and leave Millie and Harry alone. They need Peace right now, not harassment.

Millie has promised me a show puppy instead of getting my money back

AUTHOR: Elaine - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 02, 2013

I agreed with Millie of Mella Malta Maltese to resolve our problem by taking a show puppy.  She says she has some puppies that were born and are about 5 days old.  She says they from a good breeding and there should be a show puppy out of them.  I decided to take a show puppy instead of getting my money back.  I am planning to go up to her house when they are ready and get to pick the one I think is the best  show puppy. So if I get a really nice show puppy when they are ready I will consider it to be resolved then.
