I am posting my original reviews in Yelp because the public needs to know who Lochavens Rottweilers really are: SecondRate
Google apparently blocked my EVIDENCE BASED RESPONSE-W PHOTOS & TEXT MSGS directly Frm Kevin Sidwel's phone that contradicts his posted claims & lies:
REVIEW #1: POSTED ON LOCHAVENS ROTTWEILERS GOOGLE BUSINESS PAGE 4/26
BAIT & SWITCH DEALER: UNTRUSTWORTHY Kevin Sidwell changed the price of "my puppy" 3 specific -evidenced times in the course of the purchase. All the worse, as when I first called him: I immediately told him I was not looking for a puppy nor could I afford one of his puppies. From offering me a "free" puppy on the evening I called; then requiring $500 when the puppies were 3 weeks old (claiming I needed to secure my position to select a puppy): then demanding $2000 dollars the evening before he had scheduled the puppy pick up at 5 weeks 6 days old. This breeder is a liar and a cheat.
Note: I called him (having followed his Kennel for over 2 decades) and specifically asked if he had or knew of young adult Rottweilers needing rehoming as I had just lost my mobility Rottweiler to a tragic accident.
Note2: I have all the text messages from Sidwell -I'll will post -I just didn't know how to attach them here. I am 70 years old.
REVIEW (2) RESPONSE TO LOCHAVENS ROTTWEILERS KEVIN SIDWELL's GOOGLE BUSINESS PAGE REPLY TO REVIEW #1 (above)
I am writing to provide an evidence-based account regarding Mr. Sidwell's recent response to my Google Business Review. While I intended for a concise resolution, the inaccuracies presented in his narrative make it necessary to share the documented facts to ensure the safety of other families and their pets.
The evidence provided contradicts Mr. Sidwell's claims of professionalism and compassion and Protestants that are illegal m federal, stateDespite legal requirements, my puppy, Luke, and his littermates were transported at only six weeks of age. Furthermore, I was pressured to take possession of Luke by September 7th, prior to the standard eight-week mark.
Regarding Luke's health, Mr. Sidwell failed to provide professional evidence of veterinary care or vaccinations. The only documentation provided was a handwritten note on a generic form lacking a professional signature. Consequently, despite receiving professional vaccinations and treatment upon entering my care, Luke tragically passed away from Canine Distemper, Parvovirus, and a severe parasite infestation.
Further, Mr. Sidwell has recently engaged in personal attacks in a public medium regarding my character, cultural background and financial circumstances rather than addressing these serious health and safety concerns. He has also made contradictory claims regarding the pricing and "of the puppy.
Furthermore, although Sidewell claims a motivation of compassion with regards to refunding my $500 deposit and the first of 10 contract payments he developed the day before I was scheduled to pick up Luke --- this refund was dependent upon me - deleting my Google Review on his Google Business Page: 4 weeks before he hosted a German Rottweiler VIP (Oliver) therefore, he motivation was not compassionate but his desire not to be inconvenienced.
As he initially offered to return my money after Luke's death; but refused to do so unless I remove my initial Google Review. I believed him when he promised to start anew.
I am sharing this documentation to ensure transparency and to protect other potential owners from similar experiences. Thank you for your time and for considering the facts of this matter. read more
