This man purported to be selling black lab puppies. We went to take a look, and ended up buying one. We also paid an extra fee for the puppy's papers and proof of breeding.
The man never sent the papers that we paid for. When contacted about them, he first brushed us off, and then several weeks later became extremely rude.
He was selling puppies earlier than is legal; he had 6 week old puppies for sale not ready to leave their mother.
Although he charged an exhorbitant price for the dog, it had not had any of its shots or de-wormings, which he did not disclose to us when we purchased the puppy. The poor dog was eaten up with worms and ringworm.
We became concerned when our puppy was not growing at the expected rate. Our vet said she had doubts that the dog is a black lab, as the man purported, because she is so small. Unfortunately, since the man has refused to give us the papers we paid for.
All-in-all, the man is a liar and an irresponsible and inhumane pet breeder. Do not buy from him.
Maple Falls Kennel - James & Tarasa Shively - Buyer Beware!
This post is based on a very bad personal experience with Maple Falls Kennel, represented by James and Tarasa Shively of Chilliwack BC and Everson Washington. I adopted a Whoodle puppy from Maple Falls Kennel on June 14, 2014. 48 hours and an $800 vet bill later, my puppy was hooked up to an IV and diagnosed with ear mites, coccidia, giardia and roundworm. He was also 40% underweight. James & Tarasa Shively have completely ignored me, not expressed any concern for the health of the puppy, and have not offered to compensate me for selling a very sick puppy. Maple Falls Kennel appear to be puppy brokers who work out of a van and have absolutely no integrity or concern for the health of their puppies. Based on poor health of my puppy, they raise their puppies are raised in unsanitary and filthy conditions. These are the worst kind of breeders, only in it for the money and should not be in business. Do not purchase a puppy from Maple Falls Kennel - James and Tarasa are bad for dogs and their future families.
We bought a Wheaten Terrier from them in May 2014. We were initially promised photos of the puppy when he was first born but later discovered that the photos they sent us were dated three years ago. Our puppy was found to have parasite in him three days after we brought him home and needed an immediate surgery to save his life. The vet claims the parasites must have been in him before we got him. We later discovered a CBC news report stating that they were known for running a puppy mill in the States and have came up to Canada to restart their business. DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS!
This couple has been charged with animal abuse in the Washington state - so they moved their operations to the Fraser Valley. James & Tarasa Shively should be put in jail. ADOPT DON'T SHOP!
