My mom Lila was NOT willing to give her beloved chihuahuas away. She was FORCED to sign a document that said AFTER the Chihuahuas get checked for Parvo they would be returned back in FIVE DAYS.Did they return the chihuahuas NO! Did any of the chihuahuas have "PARVO"? NO! The chihuahuas were well fed , well watered and they had a room made expecially for the CHIHUAHUAS! Dont even try and tell a story that you dont even know ALL the right FACTS!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they should've returned these animals after the tests were negative for Parvo. These dogs were well taken care of. How about right now?

My brothers ex fiancee and I responded to an ad in the Bismarck Tribune in late 2002 regarding Chihuahuas for sale.

We went to the place, which was pretty much unkempt, the yard was overrun with dogs and children. Kennels all over the place, separate ones for the different breeds of dogs I imagine. When we went inside to see the dogs, again it was dirty and little kids being loud all over the place.

My brothers ex fiancee got her long haired chihuahua, when this little girl-probably about 2 or 3 years old-walks in the kitchen holding a gorgeous, tiny, brown and white short haired chihuahua...by the neck!!! Nobody said anything, and here I am, freaking out inside for the poor dog...so I ended up getting the chihuahua out of pity and in hopes I was saving her life, instead of being this childs ragdoll.

I still have her, but she has SO MANY health problems.... I paid $350 for her and the long haired I think was $300.

I didn't like the place for many reasons, I referred to it as a puppy mill as soon as i pulled up. I bet she made a KILLING, but it's sad she had to earn it like this.

I don't know why it says I'm from Sioux Falls on here...I'm still here in Bismarck.

All I'm saying is I totally had a bad vibe at this place and I honestly felt like we rescued the dogs we purchased from her.

I feel like there was (at least) neglect and the living conditions (for the dogs AND the family for that matter) left a lot to be desired.
