The breeder, Clint Little, of Happy Bend Kennels doesn't allow you to see the parents or visit his…read morekennel. The breeder always has puppies available that he sells for $2000 + as designer mixes. These are the top red flags of a bad breeder, but let me continue with my personal story: My husband & I were looking for a puppy to fit both of our needs, mine being that it had to be hypoallergenic (already limited there) & that we wanted the puppy to become a service dog (only certain breeds there too). So no going to the shelter to adopt a puppy. My husband is a disabled veteran (who is unable to work) & would greatly benefit from a service dog. We researched a lot of breeds, particularly the Native American Indian Dog. We chose Happy Bend Kennels as he is only an hour away from us. He said he'd give a discount on the account of the puppy being much older, the last one left from her litter, & for my husband being military. This never happened. We notarized a contract saying we would pay $1500, but on the breeder's way to see us he comes up with us having to pay $150 in taxes, & we desperately wanted her, so we ended up paying $1650 for a puppy that was already 15 weeks of age instead of a the normal 8-10 weeks (no discount there either). Unfortunately, 12 days after purchasing the puppy, we received devastating news that my husband was going to go under intense treatment at the VA that might require an eventual surgery & over night stays at the hospital. Knowing he would not be home enough or physically able to give our fur-baby the attention that she needs, & I work 8-10 hours a day, frequently go out of town overnight, so the heartbreaking decision was made to call the breeder. The breeder took full advantage of our unexpected crisis with my husband's health problems, took our $1650 puppy, all her belongings that we had bought her, including a $100 bed, lots of toys, treats, & vitamins & gave us a lowly $200 that doesn't even cover part of her belongings. He promised to return as much of the money as he could, of course, that never happened. Even his full grown 4-5 year old adult dogs that can't produce puppies for him anymore, he sells for $300 +. We are not only heartbroken over our loss of our puppy as we wanted for her to be a part of our family & a lifetime companion, but now we are having to endure the my husband's demanding treatments at the VA. We've had to deal with the fact we just unwilling donated $2000 for someone else to have a puppy & all her stuff (as Clint posted on YouTube that she will be re-homed to Colorado). I didn't realize my husband & I were running a charity, paying for expensive puppies for other people to have. Clint, taking money from a disabled Army veteran & his family while they are going through a difficult time is disguising and dishonorable. Thank you for adding to that difficult time & making it so much worse, Clint. He sells these dogs is just like any breeder, only in it for the money, has absolutely no conscious as he's willing to rip money off a disabled veteran who can not work because of his injuries fighting for our country by deploying to war twice. Being that he has 2-3 litters of puppies at a time, averaging 7-9 puppies each, & selling them for $2000 + (depending on where he is delivering them to), he certainly has the money to reimburse us especially after we only had the puppy for 12 days. He refused to return our phone calls and has ignored my email, pleading for him to reimburse us our rightfully owed money since we no longer have the puppy. When I was finally able to get on the phone with him, I was in tears at the loss of our puppy and (yes even the money). He had no empathy what-so-ever & said he would never sell in Arkansas again after this experience, ironic since that is where his kennel is. He had the nerve to tell me, in between my tears that, I don't need the money as I have a nicer car than him (a 5 year used car with 60k miles that cost $25k.) By the way, he drives a 'puppy express' Delivery Vehicle that is a huge 4x4 Truck with a 14ft trailer to deliver his furry money makers since he doesn't want anyone seeing his kennel. Selling his mixed bred puppies at $2k+ each, the man is not hurting on money. Please beware to all those who are considering purchasing a puppy from this greedy man. He may breed beautiful dogs, but he has an ugly greedy soul.
