What conbon says about the dog they purchased from Carrie Sawyer is the truth. I am now the owner of this dog that they abandoned in their foreclosed home in May of 2009. The "spot" in question on her head was the size of a silver dollar NOT a "pea". It was very large and creepy looking and cost me over $1300 in surgery, pathology, and specialists fees to have removed. It was not a chem. burn or a tiny birthmark but a congenital malformation . She also has to take daily medication for urinary incontinance which the vet thought was highly unusual for such a young dog. Additionally, this dog suffers from Chondrodysplasia in both front legs and Luxated Patellas in both rear legs that may require surgery at a later date. These are both geneticly inherited traits from either one or both parents or grandparents. I have the Am. Canine Hybrid Club "pedigree" that came with this dog so this breader was definitely aware of the dogs lineage.
No responsible, ethical breader would ever consider breading a dog with any of these traits and would in fact have all the necessary genetic testing done to insure that their dogs were not carriers of this trait. This most likely would result in a puppy that was significantly more expensive and a breader who wouldnt be advertising on the Internet, flying 8 week old puppies all over the country, and bragging about "matching thousands of puppies" all the while fending off a multitude of complaints.
To the breaders credit and/or good luck, this dog has sweetest friendliest disposition despite all that she's been through. She is now almost 4 years old and I have been blessed with her presence for the last 2 1/2 years. She is my constant companion and I cannot imagine my life without her.
The buyer also must take some responsibility for their role in this industry. A puppy is a huge commitment and as a prospective owner you should either do your homework and be willing to pay for the quality you seek or take a chance on what may seem like a good deal and be prepared to take care of the dog no matter the outcome. Bottom line, Carrie Sawyer is running a business and the bottom line of a business is to make money. If you don't like what she's doing don't support her business.
If pet owners would stop supporting puppy brokers and irresponsible breaders and make educated decisions about where to get their pet and get honest with themselves about thieir ability and willingness commit to pet for its entire life then people like me wouldnt have to go behind them cleaning up the destruction. The dogs are innocent they are the ones caught in the middle of human greed and selfishness.

...forgot to mention...this dog also had a complete botch job done on her dew claw removal. Both front paws were done so poorly that little mangled stubs with tiny half claws grew back in. It had to be a DIY job. No licensed vet would have done that. Makes me wonder about who performed the umbilical hernia surgery on my dog and what really goes on in that metal shed that passes for a dog kennel??? It's no surprise that she doesn't allow buyers to come to her property.
