Don't do it! I know the puppies are cute and tempting, but it isn't worth the risk in dealing with this business if you want to call it that. Below is part of the conversation I had with Leroy, the owner. It went on for a bit, but it was more of him telling me that my questions are BS, and he is glad he didn't sell me a puppy. Any breeder who will not show you the parents is a HUGE RED FLAG! On top of that find the reviews of this business and complaints filed. It is terrifying. His excuse about any negative review is that the sheriff won't do anything about false statements and you can't please everybody. That is not the attitude of someone you want to work with on such an important decision. Anyhow, if you are on the fence, just ask him some basic questions and for pictures of the parents and see what response you get.
Hello,
I'm interested in a male Mal Shi/Malti Tzu. I see you have some listed as available, but in the about section, it doesn't list this breed under licensed section, so I'm not sure if you have them. If so, I would prefer a white and grey/brown coloring. Please send any info you have. Thanks!
Hi Cassie you can see a current list of available puppies on our website Wisconsinpuppypatch.com
Thanks LeRoy

Thanks. I see them. I am interested in possibly Champ or Lucky. I have several questions regarding both.
1) Do you have pics of mom & dad?
2) Have mom and dad had any health tests?
3) The description says, "Papers: Yes". It was my understanding MalShi's can't be registered. Is that incorrect? What papers is this referring to?
4) I live in GA. What are my options on how to get the puppy to me?
5) Do the puppies start any type of house training &/or socialization with you before coming to me?
6) How long have you been breeding MalShi's? Do you have pictures of previous puppies, now adults, with the same mom and dad as Champ & Lucky?
7) Can you tell me about the parents' temperaments? Social, yappy, were they difficult to potty train & house train?, etc.
8) What requirements do you have for me if I were to want one of your puppies?
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you!

Oh yes, definitely. I am not paying $1000 based off of a picture only.
I didn't ask for perfect. I asked to see pics of parents. If you can't answer basic questions, you should not be selling puppies. These are important decisions and if you let them go to any family without the family having knowledge about the puppy and its family, shame on you for not being more responsible for the safety of your pups.

UPDATE:
Please note that after Leroy saw this review he reached out to me to inform me of the following, "This a hate crime an we will ask yelp to review this post also ack them to remove you for a hate crime". This is not a professional. Beware.
UPDATE 2 - 07/26/1019:
I posted the original review several days ago. Leroy has not stopped messaging and harassing me since and has threatened to not leave me alone until this review is removed. Please quickly run away from doing business with him. Lots of people have beautiful, healthy puppies that will readily provide any info you ask. Others also begin training and socialization, so please don't settle for less and take the chance of dealing with this drama. If he treats potential buyers this way, I can only imagine how he treats his animals. RUN! read more
