We adopted our Boxer girl, Sassy, from Show-Me Puppies and we want to share our experience with others. We have had a wonderful experience with this business and we highly recommend Geary and Vernetta to all our friends and family. Vernetta was very helpful throughout the entire process of adopting our Sassy girl. Sassy was happy, well socialized, and healthy upon her arrival. She has been a joy in our lives and has brought us so much love and laughter! Vernetta has been very kind to us and is always available to answer any and all questions that we have had; even all these years later, Vernetta still takes our e-mails or phone calls and gives us answers to our questions. We are very pleased with our Boxer girl and we plan to adopt another Boxer from her very soon. Not only did Geary and Vernetta provide our family with a wonderful, healthy, loving companion, they also supplied us with her record of vaccinations. Our vet was very impressed with the thoroughness of this vaccination record and was pleased that our puppy was so healthy and well cared for. We can't say enough good things about this business. If you are looking for a puppy, do not hesitate to buy one from these wonderful breeders! read more

I unfortunately bought several sick english bulldogs from Vernetta Cockrum. These dogs are veterinary documented as having several issues including: entropian, luxating patellas, severe hip dysplasia, genetic heart issues, deaf, blind, and non socialized. One female suffers from seizures on a weekly basis, sure to being exposed to distemper, while in Vernetta's care. We tracked these dogs all the way to the breeder that sold them to her, and have records of her purchasing these dogs. Not only did she sell us sick dogs, but 3 of the girls were sold with "conditional registration", which she did not explain to us that these dogs parentage was being questioned. Needless to say, out of the 6 dogs we bought from her, only one remains with us. 3 have been adopted into homes, where they will receive the medical care and loving family homes they deserve. 2 are buried, due to non fixable conditions. English bulldogs are hard to raise and should be left to the ones that know what they're doing.. read more

I bought an English bulldog puppy from this breeder back in dec 09. She shipped my puppy with a dislocated knee without disclosing the dogs condition prior to purchase. The breeder fully knew of this condition(as her own vet diagnosed the problem) and sold me a damaged dog anyways. This is unethical. She would not refund my money and wanted me to send her the puppy back and she would replace the puppy with another one. The problem was that she didn't have anymore English bulldogs at the time. So she wanted the dog back AND my money! This is my 2nd review since she was able to get Yelp to remove the first review. Please be warned: do not do business with this woman or show me puppies. They do not care about the welfare of your animal. She tries to hide behind a bogus guarantee and the fact that you won't go to the trouble of sending back a puppy. Do your homework when buying a dog over the Internet bc there is no protection for the buyer in regards to animal purchases. read more

I purchased my maltipoo "Kricket" from Vernetta on January 1, 2012 and we are so happy with her. She is healthy and spunky to be such a small puppy. We also have a 10 month old curly coated retriever who weighs 60 pounds and they are best friends. I couldn't be more happy with our new addition to the family. Kricket goes everywhere with us. She has been to the movies, to school and to several basketball games. Everyone who sees her is mesmerized by her. She is adorable, sweet and outgoing! Vernetta was great about sending us photos of her while we were waiting for her to be old enough to bring home. She is exactly as Vernetta described on her website and in her emails. Thanks Vernetta for our new puppy! She is a blessing to our home! Thanks, Shelia read more

I too purchased a puppy who ended up after a year developing SEVERAL different medical issues! I called Vernetta several times asking her questions but she wouldn't ever answer them. I didn't want to believe that this place was a puppy mill. There online information seems too good to be true! I just wish she could be honest to help us in figuring what to do to help our dog. He suffers from Focal seizures and had to have his anal glands removed, has also sufffered from a few other illnesses here and there. We found her on Next day pets and wouldn't ever buy another dog ONLINE or BY VERNETTA COCKRUM!! Go adopt a dog, they need homes just as much. read more

Bought my puppy from Vernetta 4 years ago.He is a malShi and is the most loving dog we have ever seen. Great personality, good with all Kids, I couldn't ask for more. His tail is always wagging. Some people have complained here about there animals condition when they received them. Mine was just a little scared when I picked him up from the airport, but who wouldn't be!! That was the only thing I noticed, otherwise don't be afraid to purchase your animal from them . You can see all there satisfied customers, just go to there web site and see all the comments!!! Thanks Show Me Puppies Satisfied Customer from Green Bay, Wisc read more

We picked up our Maltipoo puppy "Chopper" on 12-29-11 in West Plains. Vernetta met us as we were traveling in our RV and turned him over to our care. We could tell that she was very caring for her puppies and she gave us all the info we needed for Choppers care. He is the best little dog and learning so fast. He is a joy to our family! He was ringing his bell to go outside in less than a week! He is a bundle of energy and hilarious to watch his antics. We appreciate getting a puppy of his quality and character so much. We couldn't begin to thank Vernetta enough for raising such fine little dogs. read more

First of all, i have NO clue what these other people are talking about. The puppy wasn't shipped in the mail. Also, i saw one review that said after a year it got sick. That's on you, not the breeder. I met up with the breeder and she was a very nice elderly lady. I purchased sissy/jemma. She was even cuter than the picture! she's so sweet. Those bad reviews haven't even A: done reasearch or B:bought from the breeder. Don't beleive those people, Show-Me Puppies is amazing! I bought mine for only 1,800 in total with fees and everything! read more

We just purchased a Morkie, and couldn't be more pleased. Vernetta was happy to answer all questions we had prior to purchase and even called to check on him after we had taken delivery. We took our puppy, Ranger, to the vet the day we got him and she gave him an excellent bill of health. He is exactly as described and we're thrilled with him. Every place we take him, people tell us he's the cutest dog they've ever seen. He also has an excellent disposition. I wouldn't hesitate to get another puppy from Vernetta. read more
