WE BOUGHT A GERMAN SHEPARD PUPPY FROM MARTHA AT ABLE K9 ACADEMY, AND WE NAMED HER SHADOW. WITHIN 48 HOURS OF GETTING HER I HAD TO HAVE HER AT THE VET TWICE. AT FIRST THE VET THOUGHT SHE HAD PARVO BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE WAS JUST SEVERILY MALNOURSHIED, AT 3 MONTHS SHE WEIGHED 12.6 POUNDS. SHE DIDNT KNOW WHAT DRY FOOD WAS BUT YET MARTHA TOLD US THAT THEY WERE FEEDING THE LAMB AND RICE DRY FOOD. THEY ALSO TELL YOU THAT THEY GUARNTEE THE HEALTH! THATS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF BS! WE CALLED HER TO TELL HER SHADOW WAS NOT HEALTHY AND SHE TOLD US THAT OUR VET DIDNT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. SINCE THEN WE HAVE SPENT OVER A GRAND ON MEDICINES, VET BILLS, ETC... SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO THIS WEEK TO GO HAVE MORE TESTS DONE ON HER AND X-RAYS, BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT WE DO AND THE VET DOES SHE CAN NOT GAIN WEIGHT! WE HAVE TRIED TWO ROUNDS OF SATIN BALLS AND STILL NOTHING... MARTHA DOES NOT RUN A BREEDING PLACE SHE RUNS A PUPPY MILL THAT DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH AND THE WELL BEING OF THE DOGS! ALL SHE CARES ABOUT IS HOW MUCH MONEY YOU ARE PUTTING IN HER POCKET. ALSO DONT BELIEVE HER STORY ABOUT THE DOG BEING ON WALKER TEXAS RANGER... THEY COULDNT CONTROL THE DOG, IT WAS FILTHY, UNHEALTHY, AND FERAL! THE DOG GOT FIRED THE MINUTE IT STEPPED ONTO THE SET. IF YOU TALK TO HER ASK HER TO PRODUCE THE TAPE OF THE DOG ON THE SHOW AND ALL SHE WILL DO IS BACKTRACK AND AVOID THE QUESTION! OBVIOUSLY IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN YOU ARE DOING THE RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY! WELL HOPEFULLY... WE DIDNT RESEARCH HER UNTIL AFTER WE GOT SHADOW, AND I WISHED WE HAD... BE SMART AND DONT BUY HER PUPPYS!!! SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND BUY ONE FROM A WELL KNOWN BREEDER!
