FIRST Review: My wife and I have been looking for a new…read morerottweiler puppy for several years now (our 3 year old rottie died a few years ago). We are very experienced dog owners and consider ourselves to be well informed and responsible. We take training seriously and we care about our pets. We research everything and my wife was ready to look. We started at another "breeder's" house - the puppies were fine, but you could see signs of neglect. The sire & dam were overly aggressive, unapproachable, and even the owner admitted to having to take special precautions in their home with their own dogs! We left in a hurry. My wife contacted Hector (owner) for an unannounced visit to his kennel, which he maintains at his house. WOW. The front of his home is well manicured and very clean. Hector greeted us with his son in tow and directed us to the garage where the current litter was housed. WOW. Immaculate. The dam and her litter were kept in a very clean, well ventilated kennel with a specialized whelping box outfitted with a heat lamp and nice flooring. Hector let out the dam to greet us and she was very well tempered, calm, and friendly. After oohing and awwing for a time, Hector led us outside to the remaining kennel housing. WOW. exceptionally well kept, clean, orderly, and well thought out. He had 4 dogs on the exterior; 2 juveniles, 1 adult male, and 1 expectant female - each in their own kennel. Each dog was well behaved, calm, confident, and friendly. The pregnant female was let out to greet us and we were informed that her litter was expected in 1 week. She was well built, with broad shoulders, a large head, and a confident gait. Her eyes were dark, her short-haired coat had well balanced coloring, and she had an undocked tail (German standard). She was unbelievable. We took my 4 year old nephew to see the puppies and as most young boys are, he was a little rough with the dogs. The dams were patient with him and never reacted negatively, wary, timid, or aggressive. They were ideal. We selected the litter from the expectant female - due next week. WOW. Hector was very friendly, well informed, and accommodating. He spent an inordinate amount of time with us for an unannounced visit. He answered all of our questions honestly and volunteered information to help inform us on issues we hadn't raised. I have always had rottweilers with docked tails, and I expected this time to be no different. Hector discussed at length with me, the pros and cons, without judgement, and provided me with my options. Still thinking about it...We never felt rushed or made to feel like he had other pressing matters, even though we knew he did. Why did I write First Review? Because we still have several months of interaction remaining before we pick up our puppy and anything can happen. By the nature of our initial interaction, I expect nothing negative to occur and I am confident that we will have a positive experience throughout. I will however, update this review as each stage progresses.

We decided we wanted to add to our family. We founded this breeder and decided to apply for one of…read moreher puppies. Right before we exchanged money we were told the puppies all have an intestinal parasite called coccida. She said that it would take ten days of medicine to rid the puppies of this parasite. We agreed to move forward and applied a deposit to purchase a puppy. After treatment we were informed that the puppy still had the parasite and another round of treatment was required. Unhappy with this we asked for our money back and were informed that deposits are non refundable. The breeder then found a three day treatment (would have been nice to use this one first). We reluctantly agreed that if the three day treatment worked we would still purchase the puppy (this was on May 19th). The three day treatment medicine was not available to the dog until May 26th. So it still turned into a ten day treatment. At this point we decided that we no longer wanted to deal with this breeder and again asked for our money back. Again we were told no refunds and that we should have done more due diligence. If any of this had been our fault I would understand, and we were willing to go through the first round of treatment. The breeder says the medicine didn't work. After some basic research online, I believe the puppies were just re-exposed. This would be the fault of the breeder as the puppies are most likely being exposed to these parasites through infected soil or feces. The breeder even admitted that she could not sell the puppies until they were rid of these parasites, meaning she has not lost out on any sale of this puppy. So she is just keeping $500 of our money out of spite. It was our desire to get a puppy at 8 or 9 weeks old based on our needs. At this point the puppy will be 14 weeks by the time we get it, assuming that she is parasite free with the current plan (a feat the breeder has failed to achieve so far), 1 month after the initial agreed upon date. Our decision to not move forward is based solely on the breeders inability to provide the puppy in a timely manner. This is why we feel that this breeder has basically stolen $500 from us.

He's the love of my life and I don't regret him at all. However the condition he was given to me was so unacceptable. Poor Kenzo at just 8 weeks old was infested with Ticks, had an eye infection in his left eye and giardia. I was told I would get reimbursed for all of those medical bills that I had to pay right up front after purchasing a "healthy" puppy from Timeless but instead Karen eventually just stopped responding to me. Well now fast forward almost 6 years and he has been diagnosed with primary glaucoma (this form is hereditary) it's been a horrible diagnosis. There's no cure, it's extremely painful for them and eventually they go completely blind in both eyes. Please rethink on where you're getting your puppy from. Our sweet boy is now suffering everyday from this horrible eye disease that has no positive outcome and will leave him fully blind in just a couple years or possibly even shorter.
