Do not ever buy a puppy from breeder Maureen Rushton in Midlothian, illinois. I have a 11 month old Bernese Mountain Dog with severe hip dysplasia and there are at least 3 other puppies from the same litter with worse problems than mine. She claims that she makes all of her buyers aware of the possibility of hip problems, but that's not the case. She had to give me a small notebook paper with the name of my puppies parents on it and when the shots were done. (Really, notebook paper!!) My puppy was filthy as well.
i emailed her and it took a month for her to respond. As I find other litter mates, they have had a difficult time getting her to respond to them as well. This woman is only out to make money and has no regard for the animals and families she is affecting. She denied, to me, that there was a problem with her dogs, however, she told other owners (when she eventually responded) that she would have this female fixed. . She claimed that she would e mail the other owners of these puppies from this litter and make them aware of the issues. That never happened. The other owners had to seek her out. Clear and blatant neglect for the puppies her dogs are producing. I contacted the AKC, however, they are not interested in any repercussions here at all. Again, it's all about the money. We are now in the process of expensive treatments to keep and help our pets have a decent quality of life. Who is this fair to? Please help us shut this woman down and not be able to crush other families with handicapped puppies That won't be able to live full quality lives. They and we deserve better.
