Additional Comments: so she said , but further investigating showed she is breeding females that have DJD of elbows and keeps you deposit.

Additional Comments
Dog breeder Barbara Johnson stated her husband said to give me my money back for the pup since she could give me what I was looking for. All I wanted is a dog that came from a genetic free dam & sire which she could not produce and kept my hefty deposit. Since then she has re sold the pup making more money on her and she continues to breed her defective dogs that have the possibility of passing along these genetic defects. Breeding practices should not be accepted. I filed a complaint with the AKC, but doubt anyone will care. This is truly unacceptable breeding practices.
