NATIONAL BREEDERS ASSOCIATION OF MIDDLETOWN N.J.

I BOUGHT A "FULL BREED" MALTESE FROM THESE PEOPLE. MY PUPPY NOW NEEDS SURGURY TO CORRECT A HEREDITARY DISORDER AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE PROCEDURE WILLINGLY.

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THEM FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND REQUESTED MY PUPPIES PAPER WORK AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE IT TO ME!!!

I WANT TO FIND THE HEALTH HISTORY OF MY DOG THROUGH HIS PARENTS. I WAS DENIED ANY/ ALL OF HIS PEDIGREE PAPERS, BREEDER INFORMATION ETC. I PAYED OVER $1300.00 FOR THIS DOG AND WAS TOLD HE WAS AKC. WELL NEVER GOT THOSE PAPERS EITHER.

THE NJ BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ALSO HAS AN UNSATISFACTORY ON NATIONAL BREEDERS DUE TO UNANSWERED COMPLAINTS.

THEY TREATED ME HORRIBLY FOR MY CONCERN FOR THE WELLNESS OF MY PUPPY. FOR 2 DAYS NOW.
