Hello everybody,
I constructed a list awhile ago from the ongoing list that was started here on the West Los Angeles MeetUp Group message board.

I have a myspace page for the girls and last night when I was signing off I saw that three of the terrible people on that list were advertising on myspace! It made me sick to my stomach and it fueled a little bit of research and a lot of complaints to the BBB today. Our friend made a page on myspace to keep people posted on updates and news along with stories from these people. The address is http://www.myspace.co... .

We know several people/bullies who have been directly involved with these importers and it is a tragic situation and should be stopped.

With that said I thought I would share this info with as many people as I could. Please feel free to pass along.

Please use this info to look into and complain at the Better Business Bureau at www.search.bbb.org.
Please help us stop these horrible people! They continue, and seem to be able to sleep at night knowing they are hurting and devastating these bulldogs, the families as well as our bulldog community and the breed!
Call the media and see if they would do an investigative report on these so called breeders. With all of this information we can all do something to stop this and SHUT THEM DOWN FOR GOOD!

I also found some more useful information. Please send your stories and complaints to them and they can help too. Getting the word out will hopefully help other families and bullies from going through the devastation we know some of our friends here on myspace have gone through!

They should spend time in jail. They also sold cars and had to get out of that business because they were ripping people off. O'h well, I guess they moved on to innocent little babies. What a joke.

This person needs to be stopped.

Don't support this type of breeding. It is completely irresponsible.
These puppies had to have been sick before shipping took place. If a person is a skilled breeder they would definetly notice something not right with the puppy. Breeding any kind of dog is a full time job. One or both of the parents should be available to the buyer for observation. If the puppies were not born into the hands of the breeder...I don't want the dog. Granted these little babies are so cute on the website---but taking a cute picture in a cute setting does not equal a QUALIFIED BREEDER. In one comment the owner of the company was quoted saying she had sold hundreds of puppies from 25 breeders since 2005. That should say a lot to everyone right there. That is ridiculous. These little guys should not be used for a get rich quick scheme. I know some great quality breeders of another type of breed and this sickens those who know what these puppies have most likely been through so epuppypro could make some cash. There seems to be no committment to the new owner or the puppy after money has changed hands. This is definetly Quanity over Quality. It sounds as if she just woke up one day and said "I think I will sell bulldogs"

I am also a victum of epuppypro. at four months our dog could no longer stand or walk. After two vets opinions we were told she had no hip sockets ( a genetic defect ). Her bowels were compacted from not being able to stand or walk and so we had to operate immediatly. After going through all that and weeks of our whole family nursing her back to health and the expense she developed a skin problem that eventually covered her entire body. We could no longer afford to continue the treatments or watch her live that way and had to put her down. Daniel, showed no concern on either occasion and did not back up anything in her health guarantee. She is now operating under a different name and will continue bringing these dogs in the U.S. She is a horrible person for what she has done to families of these dogs and the breed itself.

Another thing to think about. IF these are adorable puppies you're looking and now and they've been purchased and shipped to the people selling them HOW OLD WERE THEY when they were taken away from their mothers to spend HOW MANY HOURS in the back of a TRUCK?????? Puppies NEED to be socialized with their mothers and littermates or they stand a very good chance of having severe behavioral problems.

The way puppy mills operate is just plain wrong. DON'T support them with your hard earned dollars!!!

Kat (May 3, 2007 01:53 AM)
Do your homework if you're thinking of buying or it will cost you big time. Visit avar.org and check out the genetic diseases purebreed dogs are pre-disposed to so you'll know what you're looking for. If you INSIST on getting a purebred dog, ask to see the genetic testing of the parents and grandparents of the pup you are wanting to adopt. If they can't show it to you DON'T BUY!!!! Being AKC registered doesn't mean beans. The papers are worthless if you have a sick dog and you'll only be spreading the sickness and genetic defects if you in turn breed puppies to try to re-coop your investment. Google puppy mills and learn, then you'll know why humane volunteers suggest you adopt and not shop. 25% of the pets coming in to shelters are purebreds!!! Puppy mills and back yard breeders truly do breed misery and suffering and it's all for the almighty buck. Adopt humane

This is even worse than a puppy mill. Please go to the ePuppyPro web site and read their "guarantee" (http://epuppypro.com/OurGuarantee.html). Virtually everything that is likely to infect a puppy (parvo, distemper, demodex mange, other parasites) are excluded. Most conditions won't show up until after the three-day period in the contract. All you are allowed to do is give these people money. It even says the dogs may not be show quality. Why would anyone pay $2500 for a non-pedigreed dog? It's a waste of money.

Next time you really want a dog, go visit your local Humane Society or shelter. That's where these dogs will end up after their owners dump them, assuming they survive puppyhood. An adoption fee is generally $100 to $200 and it will save a life.

Comment by Lisa Bryant on March 25, 2008 at 9:42am: I was ripped off by Melody this week and we are sick about it. Our puppy got off the plane with severe Cherry Eye and horrible cold. I was stupid not to do research beforehand and have just learned what bad people they are what a mistake we have made. I don't have the heart to send my puppy back. Our Vet examined her the first day and said she had extremely bad knees and was very sick, now on antibiotics. I am also concerned about the Vet records being accurate as I have other dogs that I am afraid may become sick. I am horrified and very upset. I am going to do everything I can to put them out of business.

Comment by KEason on March 25, 2008 at 3:32pm: My puppy is also sick, the vet states that she has lots of fluid on her lungs, and we have tried several antibiotics, cough meds, and steriods, and she is not any better. I have been referred to the Vet school here in our area for them to do a bronical wash, or go in her nose to get samples to test her to see what is going on. My vet bills are adding up and continue to add. Our puppy is a happy pup, she eats well and she plays but once she plays or runs a while she starts to cough. She also has a runny nose that won't stop. I guess you all can image how sick I am reading these post. I really don't know what to do from here....

Comment by Lisa Bryant on March 25, 2008 at 3:42pm: My puppy is the same...showed up with a very bad runny nose and my Vet put her on Antibiotics. She also coughs. I have submitted a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Also, I have filed a complaint with The Humane Society of America. I had a man call me today doing to pro-bono work in Texas and is trying to put Lobo Puppies out of business. Please submit every complaint you can to every organization you possibly can. I plan to call the local sheriff near Lobo Puppies as well as the Attorney General. I will not stop until justice comes to these poor puppies. I'm so sorry for what you all are going through.

Comment by Monica Luebker on April 3, 2008 at 4:26pm: I am an attorney in Dallas, Texas and I am trying to pursue these people on behalf of my assistant who purchased a puppy. I am looking for witnesses and other contacts. My phone number is 214-939-2071. My firm website is figdav.com -- look under the profile of Monica Luebker and please contact me with any information you have against these people. My e-mail addres is mluebker@figdav.com.

Comment by Lisa Bryant on April 3, 2008 at 5:14pm: My dog has now been diagnosed with pneumonia and is getting worse by the day. I have been sending Lobo Puppies the Vet bills and they take zero repsonsibility, nor do they care. It is very sad. I keep hearing more and more about all the sick puppies they are selling and something needs to be done.
I don't know where to turn at this point. It has been heart wrenching watching this puppy suffer.

Comment by Tanja on May 12, 2008 at 9:42pm: I am the latest victim of Lobopuppies.com. We purchased our pup April 24th and he arrived the 25th. He came off the plane with cherry eye, running nose and cough and respitory problems. We brought him to the vet within the 3 days for the health guareantee to be warranted and the Dr. said that the pup's health condition falls in the line to return him. I will contact everyone possible to find justice to shut these people down. I will keep you posted!

Comment by Jodie Tracy on May 13, 2008 at 11:02am: I am a victume of Epuppy pro also. I purchased 5 puppies from Danielle and her Sister? On April 1,2008 I paid 10,000.00 for these puppies. They flew into the Manchester Nh airport with only three health certificates, And they all were very sick, coughing and weezing dirty and smelling like they have never been given a bath.... She told me they were to be 8wks old but on their shot record she said they were 11wks old Who knows how old they really are? I contacted my vet that following morning after staying up with the puppies all night trying to help them ..... My vet said they all had PNEMIONA their lungs were filled with fluid one of the puppies died afer many night in the emergency hospital. We had an oddtopsy done in hopes that we can save the others from the same ending. She had an anlarged heart and her lungs were filled with fluid after all the meds nothing could save her $2500.00 later just for her medical bills. The other 4 are all still sick one month later and all still on meds with my vets constant care. God only knows what the total cost will be or if the four puppies left will even make it. Daniell Oneil has financhally and mentally detroyed my family....

Comment by Monica Luebker on May 13, 2008 at 3:19pm: Jodie - I am so very sorry. I am doing everything that the law allows to see that this does not happen again. I would really like to tell the Judge your story and show him that victims are willing to come forward. Thank you.

Comment by Lisa Bryant on May 14, 2008 at 11:55am: Hey everybody,
I am so sorry to hear of all the sick puppy's Lobopuppies is still selling. My dog is finally feeling better after over 2 months of antibiotics, IV's, and many trips to the Vet. I wanted you all to know that I emailed all of my invoices from the Vet to Melody, as well as the Vet records. Just this week she sent me partial reimbursment, which shocked me! Of course we spent over $1000 on Vet bills, not to mention the Cherry Eye surgery that we are going to have to pay for. Her check was only for $290.00, but it was something. If I were all of you, I would continue to email her all of your bills and Vet notes. Keep harrassing her, it's what I did. I never received any puppy registration papers, either. I ultimately, would like to get her shut down as I can't stand to think about the neglect the puppy's are facing. All of our dogs came so sick, it is so sad. I am very sorry to hear what you all are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
