Rama Jama Kennels Crystal Nelson Warning needs to get out about Kennel selling sick, unkept, puppies......... Parker, South Dakota

I purchased a Saint Bernard from Rama Jama Kennels and before I did I researched the net to try and find the best breeder possible. I live in the state of Pa and we are known for our puppy mills, so buying outside of Lancaster County was important to me. When I received Moose at the Airport he was very dirty and smelled badly. I chalked it up to the recent snowstorms in SD so maybe he wasn't able to be bathed. He was very scared of people, and acted as if he was never around them.I immediately took him to the Vet and he had badly infected ears ~ which are chonic to this day. My Vet and his assistants said no dog from a good breeder should have been sent in this condition. I received min. health papers taped to the top of his crate, no AKC papers. I wrote to Crystal with no response, which wasn't a major thing since I was getting Moose fixed and didn't find the papers important.

When Moose was alittle over a year old (15 mths +) he became very ill and his organs started shutting down. My wonderful Vet didn't give up on him and ran all types of tests on him. He has Addison Disease, and with medication will hopefully be with us for a long time.

The reason I am writing this is to warn people about this Kennel. If you can't personally check out a Kennel than you really shouldn't buy. You can see from pictures that these dogs they are kept in pens and notsocialized with people. How could they be withso many of them?I love my

Moose and wouldn't trade him for the world but that's the problem ~ Who's going to send back a puppy after you have fallen in love with them.
