POOS4U, MALTAPOO, TOYPUPPIES4U, TINYPOOS4U, ripoff, DOZENS OF WEBSITES OWNED BY SHIRLEY KITELINGEr, EXPOSURE OF ONE OF THE LARGEST PUPPYMILLS ONLINE. All over Alabama

I would like to say that my family has bought two Maltipoo puppies from Shirley and we have never had any problems with them. I actually came upon this site while trying to contact Shirley to see if she had any more for sale.

Shirley and her puppies are lovely. I purchased "Jenna" from Shirley in the Fall of 2001. Originally the puppy was to be shipped from Alabama to my home near Philadelphia, PA. Plans changed and I decided to drive to Alabama to get the puppy for my daughters who were 4 and 6 at the time. When I picked up jenna, she and her litter mates were comfortable in Shirley's home, and were getting the attention as if she was never to let them go. I found her to be a concerned and compassionate person. She welcomed me into her home, and even invited me to stay for a few days. Jenna is a wonderful, healthy dog. At one point, Jenna was mis-diagnosed with a knee problem. Shirley was as upset and worried about Jenna as my family and I were. She offered to take the dog back and care for her. Luckily it was, as I said, a mis-diagnosis--Jenna is perfectly healthy, lovable, and an all-around wonderful dog. I have remained in-touch with Shirley off-and-on for over 4 years to check in to see how she is, and let her know how her "baby" is doing. It seems obvious to me that the person filing this complaint is on a crusade against puppy mills, and is a snob when it comes to mixed breeds. This person is barking up the wrong tree (pardon the pun).

This is Cheryl from Nonnies Maltepoos.
This person named Sarah is not a customer of mine as far as I know. I don't think that Sarah is her real name. If it is her real name, it doesn't show up in my records.

Whomever this is, you have caused a lot of problems for hard working, honest people. You have also caused problems for yourself as well.

I don't know why you would say you have a puppy of mine or why you would bring me into this mess.
We will find out who you are and you will be charged with slander.

I have offered to help pay for a lawyer with Shirley. We both want to get to the bottom of this.

Sarah, you have caused me to defend myself to all who reads this mess. If you thought you were helping me ,you didn't. If your plan was to hurt me, you did well.

I have never been ugly towards Shirley. I have never heard anything bad about Shirley until this was posted.
I respect Shirley and a few other breeders enough
to send customers to them if I can't help them with a puppy. I have heard from a few of the families and they are very happy with their dogs.

I don't know who this Sarah person is and I did not have anything to do with her or her lies about Shirley.

To the person that left the vulgar message at my home defending Shirley, I know you are from Ga.

I have asked before and I will one more time before my attorney takes over here for you to get the info I need to prove this allegation or take this off.

This IS NOT one of my customers and I do not like the fact this is even happening and will fight it in all ways necessary to get results .

It would be easy enough for you as a site to run an ip check to see if location /email /name and other even match or who they match to.
This site cannot let their own reputation turn into "I dislike a person cause they breed ' so I will make "REVENGE" on them .

Decent people make the right decisions ,this post has me and another breeder at odds .That is not right if that "other " breeder is not involved .
I need to know .

A true consumer org would at least have the decency to contact that persons vet and that person before they let someone post such things .
I ask again ,get the proof ,forward that to me or take this off .

You ,in letting this continue are aiding in my being defamed and I will not stand by and watch it happen .

I need the proof ,you have my e-mail address .Send it now or call your attorneys .

I got the most wonderful, lively little maltepoo from Shirley a year and a half ago. He was incredibly healthy and well adjusted when I got him, and he still is today. Shirley has always been available to give advice and is very knowledgeable about her dogs. When Teddy had an allergic reaction, Shirley knew right away what the problem was. I met Shirley and her vet. Her vet was available to answer any questions. Shirley obviously loves her dogs. Each one of them comes with so much love. She doesn't let them leave until she feels they are ready and well socialized. She gives them toys, a blanket, food and treats when they leave her. She looked Teddy in the eyes and gave him a big hug. You can tell how hard it is for her to see each one go. There's no way I believe that Shirley is running a puppymill. She has the best maltepoos out there. If I ever decide to get another one, I'm going straight to Shirley.

I cannot believe that someone with a valid complaint will not provide a last name and contact info to the person they are reporting.

That being said, last June 13th,2005, I was delivered a puppy from Shirley. Delivered...hand delivered by auto driven by her husband, from ALABAMA to TEXAS!!! At NO CHARGE!How many puppy mills do that?

Our little Eddie was perfect. SO healthy. SO playful and happy. Unfortunately 3 weeks later he died by drowning. My fault.

Shirley has offered to deliver to me, personally another one of her "furbabies" when they are ready this summer. We have cried together on the phone over our loss of baby Eddie. Shirley has got to be the MOST honest, MOST dependable, MOST TRUSTWORTHY breeder I know. If you must continue this awful, petty vendetta, please be upfront and adult about this and respond to her questions.
Barb in Texas
Mommy to Jake, Frodo & the late Eddie Spaghetti

I have heard this person say that poos4u has sold sick pups and has spoken to some people that can concur with her. She has spoken thru pet forums to them. I belong to soooooo many pet forums its not even funny. My eyes zone in to anything poodle or poomix related. And I can tell you Shirleys site has not once had anyone blame her for a sick pup. I could tell you of one particular so called breeder here in California that this poster should be jumping on, But Shirley nooooo.

So where are these 6 other people that had a problem with Shirley??????

I have personally seen 3 pups that came from her property and all three were cute and healthy.

NO I am not a breeder or anything close to it. You can come to my apartment and check for yourself. Don't bother to call, just come on over.

Shirley has alot of weirdo's that call her and want this or that from her, and if Shirley does not feel that a pup should go to them, thats it, it does not go. A person, any person sometimes has to rely on their intuition on what they feel a person is like. I have known her for approx. 3-4 years. She has always been so willing to help me with my ailing older rescued poodle, So sweet that she sent us a care package of products that she felt would be helpful. Yeah and she is a bad person,

Original poster Sarah I think your name is, you know nothing about her.

I have known her to give advice on helping dogs when she did not even have to involve herself in the matter. She loves canines. All of them.

People try to chastize her because she is working outside the box so to speak. Breeding maltese poodle mixes. How can people get mad when all dogs started from mixing. If I did not know her I'd wonder if it were the right thing to do. But I do know her, and she loves all of her babys.

NO she does not have 100's of dogs.

YES she does rescue, she has dogs that nobody wants. How can you hold that against her.

I myself about a year ago got into volenteering for a local rescue in my town.

Puppys play hard,and sleep hard and do the same all day long. Its impossible to keep a pup 100% tidy all day long. So yes I do get to see how hard it is to care for rescue pups.

No these dogs have nothing to do with Shirley.

In the time I have known her, she has not twisted anything around changing things that she says. Only someone that lies will trip themselves up and twist their wording.

Shirley does not allow any pups to be shipped until they are at least 13 weeks or weigh enough to where she is comfortable that they be shipped. So If that means 16 weeks so be it or older.

She also has driven pups across the U.S. because the airline would not allow her to let her pups travel in comfort the way she normally would ship a pup.

Shirley loves all her dogs, pups and speaks of them in that way, I know she cares deeply.

I have a mini poodle from her. She is beautiful. I had seen pictures of her about every 3-4 weeks of her life since birth and not one of them was she stained.

I truly believe you are a scorned person, that either did not get a pup, or did not get Shirley to do what you wanted so you could ride her skirt tails so to speak. She stands up for herself, and don't you think that you will get away with trying to tarnish her good name.

I wrote to the editor of this page and ask that where I have above ..maltepoo.com ....Happy May from Poos4u be changed to maltepoo.net ...Happy May from Poos4u

I am sorry Terri (if you read this cause they seem not to want to change it for me ) for accidently putting your site name there ,but I have been not thinking too well lately and typing with one hand too as I missed theraphy this week and made the error ,mostly because I am not thinking straight .

Just for verification purposes and to prove that owning domains is not illegal ,but a practice alot of people to to stay and be placed in all categories ..I have been sorta checking too ..
How many domains does this site own ? Just asking .

I have read and reread your posts ,trying to actually 'make sense ' out of it .
When you say 'anyone with common sense would know I am a network of breeders " automatically that tells me you have none .
Cause anyone with common sense would read the pages ,see the links ,note there are no hundreds of puppies ,..Maltipoo.net has ..from Poos4u
Maltepoo.com has Happy May from Poos4u ..
Malt-a-poo .com has Home site ..Poos4u ..Can you not read ?
the others are http://maltipoos-ivil.tripod.com ,my first website after leaving aol YEARS ago ..Ivillage hosted that site (reason for ivil ) and then after 3 years they stopped hosting all sites ..shut em down ,in meantime I already owned alot of domains ,so I built new sites ,then was told ivillage had moved those sites to tripod . Whaty is the name of that site ..GUESS .POOS4U ..links on it ..all back now to my .nets and coms ..
We have had over 2 million hits on our sites ..no I have not sold 2 million dogs ..however we use our sites as teh spelling of the maltipoo is maltipoo,maltapoo,maltepoo,malt-a poo,malt-i-poo and a dozen more ,so we are in search engines and pretty good i n rankings and evey other day I get someone that would like to post my site on theirs and exchange links because of those rankings and the vast amount of reconition we receive ,which is why a woman from Florida grabbed poos4u.com and wrote me to ask if she could become a Hardees of Poos4u ...When I replied no ,she built her site anyway and I have disclaimer that we are NOT associated with that .com.
People witrh common sense read ,people that have none accuse .
Get my drift..

We bought two darling maltipoos from Shirley almost two years ago after researching breeders for about 6 months. Shirley is not a puppy mill! Puppy mills don't give personal information because they don't want to be known. Shirley will give you all the information you need or want. Our dogs were and are very healthy and happy. I couldn't ask for cuter babies. By the way, Shirley mentioned about the dogs that got into the peanut butter and jelly and honey - one of ours was involved in that - we knew about it up front and when we picked them up, our little girl had pretty short hair, but we knew why and laughed about it. .

Ours dogs do not live outdoors - they have it better then some kids in this country. Both of our dogs have stained feet and dirty faces - why - because they play outside in grass and dirt, they walk in puddles and they lick their feet. But they're happy!

Shirley is our breeder of choice, and when our dogs cross the rainbow bridge, we'll be back on her doorstep looking for new puppies.

OK... I wasn't going to even post here as this site appears to let anyone post without knowing the truths in the case! But because I personally know the owner, the targe of this absurd allegation, I must say something on her behalf. I met Shirley for the first time when I went to pick up my first maltipoo. As a person, Shirley is one the most loving, considerate, caring persons I know (this first meeting was over 3 1/2 years ago). My tiny puppy was ADORABLE and perfectly cared for. Shirley handed her over to me with a pile of toys, blanket and snacks for the ride home. My vet checked her out to be in perfect health and she is now a 6.5 healthy (3 1/2 year old) dog. Two years after I got that maltipoo, Shirley had a yorkieshon who was the runt of the litter. She only wanted to place him with someone she trusted... she ATTEMPTS to find new 'parents' for her puppies who are good and caring people (I say 'attempts' because obviously the writter of this idiotic complaint IS NOT a good honest person...!!!)... We decided that I would get to have this yorkieshon... he is now 1 1/2 years old..he is 11 lbs. of PERFECT HEALTH and is a total joy. Both of the dogs I got are the center of our family's lives. I have friends that I have referred to her for puppies as well.... I would testify on a bible on behalf of Shirley..there is no chance on Earth that she has a puppy mill. As for all the web sites you listed... they are really all the same site... that is just how she linked them; if you would look carefully, you would see that... I know it as truth because, as a friend with some computer knowledge, I helped her with a couple of them... many of us who have gotten to know Shirley because we have gotten puppies that we have fallen in love with, help her out in any way we can because she is such a great person.

This absurdity MUST stop... Shirley and POOS-4-U is the best place to get a puppy, if you want a healthy one!

Just got you some problems .
You know that I am going to sue you ,most likely some of my customers you just slandered and if another one finds this and posts you will do the same ,so I am gonna help ya out ...

I am going to go into ALL my sites .Post this link and the link to your breeders ripofff report and tell the situation .

That way ,you won't have to call my customers liars or me ,they will find it easier and can post what they want . I am sure there will be good ,I am also sure I will have a couple that say I was a bad person . But each one that is truly my customer I will put as reply ...true ,if not one ...I will put ...see above person and her breeder for next guiding thought .

I ask none of the above to post .Told them they did not have to . To see my customers treated in such a callous way and called such names makes me so angry and more determined to right the wrong done to them and to me .
Keep it up ,the more you put on ,the more you will pay .

I do not like the fact that you called 3 of my friends and customers liars and I am sure they will not like that either .

And I am sure they will do what they have to do also legally .That is a personal attack on people that you do not know and have no idea what you are getting ready to deal with .

I have been called a puppy mill and worse before and that does not affect me . That is your opinion and right now the way you are acting and talking about people you don't know shows just how much your opinion will gain you .Nothing .

I am not a broker ,I sell no ones puppies but my own .

I do not have 'hundreds of dogs ' .
I do have rescues and my breed dogs and I have 12 puppies at this time that are mine .I have some rescue puppies that I am going to place in my area once they have had all their shots .Neuter /spay required dear .

I have never had Parvo and hope to God I never do .

if the County here has new reports about my place then you or your cohorts made them and that only adds to my defense .I will find out .

If my customers and I mean my real customer like the three above post here and say I did them bad,did not try to rectify it ,then I will admit it ,right it if I can .But they better be my customers or they also will wind up in court same as you will .

Yes ,a person like you that makes these accusations does have to prove them and you may not owe me a thing ,but you owe yourself the truth.

And you owe my customers an apology on this site and in writting .

If you look at my sites ,maltepoo.net,maltipoo.net ,malt-a-poo.com and home site poos4u you will see the SAME puppies available ,not 100 different ones ,not 100 mothers and fathers and all are connected and say they are POOS4U sites or home site Poos4u .

I was the second person online that I am aware of that sold maltipoos .The first was Terri at maltepoo.com .
You can act and rant and rave and tell your little stories and make up all you want ,all you do is add to my defense .

I knew that nonniesmaltepoos was involved here ,just had to wait until you said it .

try this for size
http://badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff191611.htm

Nonnie got reported ,so she decides that others should have to also .That is her Mo ,been through similar with her before .Nonnie ,both of us will get good and bad reports,but don't get too deep that you cannot paddle yourself out of this one .

The only time the 'County' ever contacted me about anything bad was when someone ,like you that wants to start trouble ,reported some type thing ,don't even what now but I will call and see if they have anything else and haven't contacted me,

they came ,they saw ,told me I was fine .
At that time I had I think about 80 rescues housed ,lab mixes ,shepard mixes,collie mixes and others we had no idea what they were .
We placed them.

Call my vet ..ask him ..Most were pulled from the kill shelter near him to keep them from being put down by gas in a box .
Call him ...ask him ..

Who are all these breeders I am a network of ?
You just keep putting your foot in that mouth .You got one of those silver ones ?
Geez!
Every breeder on the earth has had complaints .
I am no different .

Yes , I have had a few earmites ,I have cats in the house and there are stray cats all over this area ,when we can catch them we treat them ,I also do rescue ,so bound to get some every now and then ,not often .Call my vet
I had mange once ..wanna know how I got it ..
I bought some Poodles from another breeder ,baby poodles .Didn't know they had mange ,I ,personally got mange(scabbies) and carried that to my puppies ,had ,I believe ,6 to get it .

When I found out ...I called /emailed every buyer and offerd to pay any meds ,take back ,refund whatever I could do .One couple returned theirs and I refunded ,their puppies didn't have it but it didn't matter .The fact was I was honest about it .

That was years ago . YEARS !

Swollen glands ..Puppies get colds when they leave a warm southern climate and go North or West ..stress alone can cause it ..so yes ..some have had a cold after they went to a new home .
Coccidia ..

Bought that too ..I rarely have one to have it ,every once in a blue moon ,never heard of it until about 5 years ago when one of mine showed positive after purchasing a Poodle .Call my vet .
A breeder that says they have had no issues is a liar .

That ,young Lady ,I am not .

I use to let people come here ..they would sit all day long( I had one couple that I thought was gonna move in ,they stayed here until almost dark one day ,I could get nothing done ,NOTHING and I had rescues and puppies and moms and dads to take care of ) and look at puppy after puppy ,I had more puppies to get sick than I could handle because of it .

My vet said ..Stop it ..you will wind up with all types things that will go out of your control .So I did and I have had very little problem since .

What is wrong with going to the vet to see the mom or dad ,that is a controlled situation,
Puppies that are handled by alot of people can pass whatever that person brought with them to other puppies ,Alot of mine are sold before birth ,would you want your puppy to be handled by a kennel hopper that carried parvo or distemper or kennel cough ?

If this continues and Nonnie (if this is you or your cohorts ) I will talk to Lee and see if she wants to let me put all the crap you have started on here ..stop or call her off before this gets any further .


Didn't I just get a call from you not long ago abot a kennel that had distemper and when I said ..well if you have an open kennel it can happen and when I would not 'gossip ' you said "did you just hear what I said ?'
hehe ...you people , get a life .

First off let me say that anyone with common sense will see that you work with several breeders in a network and they have all come to your defense. All one huge massive puppymill organization. Of course they will lie for you since they all work with you. Not just a breeder and puppymill but a broker as well. Your county has nothing good to say of you .

I do not owe you anything and in time plenty of the buyers you have treated as you treat me now will come forth and reveal you & your breeder pals.

Puppymills do not let customers visit. Because they would see all the cages you say you do not use?
What do you have to hide that you do not invite people into your home?
A closed facility? ha

I have one nice Maltepoo puppy from Nonnies.Beautiful puppy and healthy. Any breeder that has 30 websites and HUNDREDS of adult dogs is a puppymill no other conclusion.using dogs for profit.

Having your puppymill breeder friends write on your behalf is not going to fool the average dog buyer who is trying to stay away from breeders who use hundreds of dogs to make a buck.

I give a 30 day ,any reason guarentee,take back for life .When I first started breeding I gave a 10 day guarentee/take back for life.

If this woman had been a customer ,legally I would have had to refund her or give her another puppy ,I would have done so anyway ,but I have a contract that binds me to do so.

So I know it didn't happen .

This site should be more active in investagating before they let just anyone put on things like this.

Have the proof before they let someone try and destroy anothers reputation.

Give the accused more info on the accuser .
There are very malicious ,mean people in this world , a person should be able to defend such an alligation in a more satisfactory way by knowing just WHO the accuser is.

This took up alot of my time I could have been using to work ,finish childrens books I do ,going to my theraphy ,I had to put off while going through files and e-mails and paypal reciepts and notes and all types stuff .
I should be able to have the name (real name or last name and address ) of this person without having to go to the Attorney General in the state this site originates in ,well...sooner or later ...I will have it...

This site takes nothing off ,even wild untruths and by not doing so helps to aid in a persons reputation being damaged.

This is not a good site.

I respectfully disagree .If this had happened to you ,you would have a much different view of it .
Thank you for your kind words .Good luck also to you in all that you do and give your baby doggie a hug from Sammy and all of us at poos4u !

Well, Shirley, You seem to have done well here and turned a complaint into a positive.

I have to say that I like to see that. Because not all problems that people have are due to the company/person that they got their goods/services from. Before reading the complaint and your original response here, I did not know that you or your puppies existed. I do now and I can say that if I were in the market for a puppy, I would consider your kennel as a source. I don't however, I have a wonderful little daschund that takes up plenty of our time and love.

This site is a wonderful place and it gave you the opportunity to respond and some of your customers to back you up. Good luck in the furure.

Warranty Insurance. (Sometimes people confuse this)

then why did you buy a puppy from me ? (which you didn't cause all mine get at least 2 to 4 rounds of vaccinations before they leave )again...call my vet
I keep remembering to ask more questions everytime I get off this page .
And half of what I ask is not being put on here .
Why is that I wonder ?
Are you the breeder I banned off a talk board ?
Are you just a trouble maker ?
Are you the breeder that called a few weeks ago and wanted me to refer you and when I said no you called me a bad name ?
Are you a person I said no to about getting a puppy from me ?
Again Who are you ?

I do have to say this about your little description of my dogs ..

Have you ever had 6 to 10 puppies, playing , jumping ,happy puppies ...romping all over and loving the water and food bowls with a passion , they love to see the 2 gallon water tank bubble and make noises .. they will dig and dig and spread that water all over the floor ,sit in the bowl to keep another from doing what they are wanting to do , If I put just regular water bowls ,food bowls in there , they spread the food into the wet floor ater digging the bowl dry and flipping it over which 10 times a days we take towels and dry it all up but they are wet ,playing ,having a ball ,white dogs stain from this . it is common if you don't raise them in cages with tiny little bowls of water attached to the doors . I have happy babies ,full of play that are not contained in cages.

They run ,they jump ,they go through tubes we have for them ,they sit in the water and food bowls and play with passion and enjoy being what they are .PUPPIES !

I also have a cat that loves our water tank ,he takes his paw and presses the machine lever and watches the tank bubble and the water flows onto the kitchen ,we have had to move that tank of ours upon blocks so he can't get to it anymore ,that kept the kitchen wet too cause as much as Greyson could ,he was at it .And our puppies will stand under that and romp through that wet area and sit in it and roll in it ..

Once I had puppies stained yellow and red and if you picked one up it stuck to ya ..from what ?

Greyson got on the table ,My husband and son left the packets of mustard ,a ketcup bottle and the pancake syrup from the morning up there ,also bread , and a newspaper and other items ...he decided the puppies needed some new stuff to play with ...and they did aparently ..
I was at the doctors office ,came home ..went to sleep ..Robert went into the kitchen and all I heard was ..."MY GOD !!! WHAT IS GOING ON .SHIRLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..."

Puppies were stuck to the floor, each other , white puppies were yellow/red ,had bread stuck in their fur ,feet ,noses, paper was stuck to them ...the sight was horrendous but we laughed our hearts out at 10 puppies that the cat gave a great afternoon to . It was bath after bath after bath ,hair cutting and still it took weeks and months for all that to dissappear .

before you make accusations ,learn a little bit about puppies that are happy and puppies that love to play .

A puppy ,once on a one on one situation usually calms some ,put it with 9 more and let em go play for real and watch what they can do .If they can ,it will be a little of everything .Add a cat that loves to help em along ..Get real .

I have known Shirley for quite a few years. I have never met her in person but I have chatted with her online and on the phone. I consider Shirley as one of my dearest friends. The love that she has for her animals is incredible and it is that love that formed our friendship and respect for one another. I do not know anyone who cares and loves their animals more then her.

Until recently, I was owned by 2 dogs, which I had bought here in Canada. Shirley has sent up numerous gifts for my dogs even though they didn't come from her. I lost 1 of my dogs, Lady to an anemia on March 21st, who cried with me on the phone???? Shirley, that's who. Would a BYOB do that??? I think not.

I will be receiving one of Shirley's Maltipoos in mid July and I am so excited to be receiving one of her little babies and to be meeting the Fantastic Shirley as I call her. My little girl puppy will already know what it is like to be loved, petted and fussed over before she comes to me. How lucky is that? It will be Shirley's first puppy to go outside of the USA and I am proud and feel very privileged that she trusts me enough to let me take her little baby into another country. You see Shirley does not let her puppies leave the USA. Shirley is a lady who breeds for the love of the animal not the money. She would never knowingly sell a sick puppy!

The little baby girl that I am receiving from Shirley will be my first breeding girl. I will be breeding Maltipoos here in Canada and I will be modeling my kennel after Shirley's. That is the kind of respect and trust that I have in her. I consider myself lucky to know a lady with such a vast amount of knowledge about dogs and who truly cares about their wellbeing.

I had noticed that you, Sarah, have no problem posting Shirley's full name on this site but nowhere do I see your full name. I wonder why? Could it be that you are another breeder who feels threatened by Shirley? Did you even receive one of Shirley's babies? I highly doubt it. You say you contacted Shirley. Was it by phone or email? I happen to know that Shirley takes detailed notes when talking with anyone regarding one of her babies.

I think that your approach to this matter is disgusting, cowardly and vindictive. Although anyone who has gotten a puppy or who knows Shirley would not believe any of the lies that you are spewing. I, for one, would not having any problems standing in a court of law and stating what a great, caring, honest person I believe Shirley to be. I do hope that Shirley sues you although I would understand her not wanting to waste her time with your inane lies.

These accusations are clearly false. I, too, am a customer of Shirley Kitelinger's. A VERY satisfied one at that! I received a puppy from Shirley in December 2005. My puppy is 8 months old, happy and healthy. I have several facts to dispute the ridiculous allegations that this so-called Sarah from Las Vegas claimed:

She cares about every one of her babies that she places. I know that I am not any different than the others. Why would I be!? Shirley called me several times during the first week he was home to check on him and see how he was acclimating with our other dog. She sent toys, blankets, nutri-cal and other preventative measures. She even called and talked with him the night he came home, and even sent gifts for our other dog as well.

My puppy checked out perfectly at his first vet appointment and then about a week later, he developed a little cold (which, by the way, went away a week later). My vet said it was probably due to the change of climate and it was very common. I mentioned to Shirley (when she made another "check up" call) who OFFERED to pay for his medication and the vet visit. I REFUSED!! She was not to blame in any way, but she still offered.

Another fact to point out is that my puppy was 13 weeks old when I finally got him. We are in California and Shirley refused to fly him out in cargo. He was small... and she was worried that the flight would be traumatic! When we agreed on him flying in cabin, we still waited until he was a healthy size. Would the BYOB who doesn't care about the health of her "parvo-ridden" puppies do that??Give me a break. That's ludicrous.

Shirley's emotional response is just another clue in how much she cares about her babies and business.

As a customer of Shirley Kitelinger's these allegations made me literally ill. Whoever this person is, she needs to come out of the woodwork. STATE YOUR LAST NAME and specifics!! My bet (and if you are "REALLY" in Vegas, you will not bet against this) is that you are another breeder who views Shirley's practice as a threat to your own and you want to sabotage her reputation and business. Otherwise, you'd give specifics and let your claims be investigated and researched.

I am a customer of Shirley Kitelinger and have known her for 4 years. I have "5" of her maltipoos... yes thats right, five! Everyone of them have been in perfect health and came to me in perfect health! The follow-up with Shirley has been outstanding, and whenever they go to the vet, she always loves to hear the reports!

Parvo? well, knowing Shirley as well as I do, she is to the point of compulsive with the cleanliness of her home as not to have any Parvo present. She should buy stock in Clorox!!!All of her babies (she calls them babies, not Puppies cause they are her babies!) are vaccinated and wormed appropriately before you receive them... it is up to YOU after you receive them to continue with the outstanding vetrinary care that Shirley started them with. I have met all of her vets at Dr. Williams office (I was fortunate to visit her in Alabama) and I was VERY impressed with the office and personel. They run a very tight ship there and Shirley is like one of their family, because she is there with her babies so often.

My Maltipoos are Gracie, maltipoo, 4 years old... Sammy Maltipoo, 3 years old, Lyle Maltipoo, 2 years old... Lacey Maltipoo, 1 year old, and our latest addition, Lucas who will be 6 moths old. They are the sweetest, most loveable babies.... and they had no problems adjusting to a new home and they are well socialized. That was all started by their breeder, Shirley. She socializes them and cares for them as if they were staying with her for life!!!!!

I would love anyone who wants to ask me what kind of a person (which tells you what kind of a breeder) Shirley is. You can email me anytinme, or call! Shirley has my numbers.

This alligation is so far out of the truth.... I have a really hard time understandng where it evolved from!!!!

Denise
Pa

Ya know, after the kids moved out, I changed my number ..What number did ya call ?
And it was private and not listed. Only the kids were listed and they do not have the same last name .. So ,what number was it I had ?
I will call the phone company and ask if any inquires are made they know me they will tell me .

You see I went back 4 years and cannot find you I continue to go back further.
Also I looked at money refunded for dogs I have done 5 as I can find only 3 were returned reason ...girl was in college and found she had no time for the puppy and she returned it to my vet lady said her cockapoos did not like the maltipoo

I drove all the way to Pa and picked up my baby (21 hours one way )lady said my maltipoo female was evil and that one was ,she returned it and I don't blame her one bit on Elvira & warned her at pickup about the brat Jim Cantore (weather channel ) had to back out of contract because of illness in his family and never picked his up and I had one more recently puppy had stress symtoms ,not eating and got sick we picked up and all got refunds.

I have puppies all over the USA ... TBN minister, actors, lawyers,doctors, teachers, nurses and everyday people just like me, some are used as therapy dogs, most are just family pets, I am proud to be Poos4u (not asscociated with the .com)
Your little stories will not wash in the real world.
Yes,I have made mistakes on sizes,yes I have had a few to get sick after going to a new home.
As far as I can remember and I remember each and every baby puppy I held and loved and bred,I have had none to die of parvo and I still don't know who you are, but we are working on finding out.

You did say I refunded a woman for a dead puppy ?
You are out of your mind !
As far as I can remember and have records of all customers,there isn't one, except for the one ran over ...
What are you up to ?
I keep all e-mails, I looked and have 41 e-mails from Sarahs and none are from Vegas, only 2 as I can find got a puppy from me.
None say a puppy died,none .
I too hope my customers see this. As a matter of fact I am starting to e-mail and call each and everyone of them ..I wonder ...why you won't get a call ...cause you don't exist as my customer perhaps ?

I was sold a girl puppy who took ill within 4 days and died on the 8th day after 4 days of hospital care. She had a parasite called coccoida and tested positive for Parvo as well .I contacted Shirley said that she does not have health coverage for dog viruses. Shirley did not support me at all and did not offer me another puppy . People should know that Shirley Kitelinger lies.I hope more of her customers find this website and tell their stories.

I have met 6 other angry customers on forums and 2 of them told me that Shirley was rude to them on the telephone and never refunded money for medications they needed for sicknesses.One of the people did get a refund on her dead puppy but the woman had spent more then the puppy cost on emergency treatment and was not reimbursed a penny for that.Another womans maltapoo is 18 lbs and she was told he would be 7 or 8 lbs grown.

Thanks but I am not angry .I am in the middle of trying my best not to be .

Breeders get this all the time .We get nasty e-mails ,calls ,threats . We get 'I will have you investagated " ,"I will see to it you don't breed anymore ,I got hundreds of 'friends that will get you " ,we get called names and we don't know these people .

And I don't know this person .

Never had a puppy with parvo ,nor a complaint that one had it . That can be proven by simply picking up the phone and calling my vet .
Every breeder in the world has had a complaint ,I am no different but I would be honest about it .But I would have went and got my puppy ,taken it to my vet ,paid for him to try and save it if for one instant I had heard one had parvo . I would have given money back and another puppy ,I would have done all in the world I could have done .Once ,a customer of mine had her dog she got from me a couple years before to get run over ,my husband drove 800 miles ,no charge and delivered in her hands a new baby to love ,both she and I cried together ,we shared his life and we shared the pain of his passing and the joy of her new love . I love my animals and my customers become like family to me ,if I can help one ,I will .

My vets ,all 4 know this .They have treated my dogs and seen my devotion and care.

When I started the Maltipoo CLub ,I could not get breeders to join in with me ..you wanna know why ? They wanted no rules on breeding ,tehy wanted no part of being decent and caring for the customer ,I also fight this battle because of the 'bad' that outweighs at times any good .
But I continue ,and eventually they will have to change and become more aware of what they are doing .

But I am tired of this type person , if she had a complaint ,she should have contacted me ,if she were a customer I would have been there for her.

That is all I am going to say on this subject as I have sent all to my attorney .Someone has to put a stop to this type behavior .

Shirley.
While your anger at such an accusation is understandable, you may want to step back, take a deep breath and try again. I have read a number of reports and their rebuttals. A number of companies have even impressed me by their responses.

Yours, seems a bit angry, and understandably so. It does infuriate one to have someone attack your good name. Again I will say that you will not please everyone. My advice is to defend yourself with a bit more fact and then leave it at that.

Sarah.
You got sick? What did you get? When did you get it? Your complaint did little to explain your situation. Did you try attaining a resolution with the seller before posting here? If so, what was the response.

Did you communicate with this person in an adult manner? I know if someone comes at me swearing and cussing, I ask them to come back (or call back) later when they are able to speak to me calmly.

Puppy Mills.
There are puppy mills and then there are dog breeders. Although I beleive that a puppy should be raised in a home and not a cage (they seem to have a better understanding of where they are supposed to piddle), kennels are not illeagal. I do believe it is in the best interest of the kennel to raise well adjusted puppies that get frequent human interaction.

Please clarify the report to give it some validity. All I see now is an angry customer and a angry proprieter. Nothing will be resolved until you get down to the details of the issue.

Since I have never had parvo here and all mine get all shots even rabbies and other before they leave ,I would really like to know who you talked to .Are you aware that to have sites dedicated to crossbreeds is not a crime ?
Check with my vet
