Fatal inherited kidney disease, dead at 6 years old
I purchased a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier puppy that I received in September 2018. When she was 4.5 years old, we learned that she had inherited Protein Losing Nephropathy (PLN), a fatal kidney disease, and she died shortly after turning six years old. Do not purchase from Greenfield Puppies. As previous reviews have mentioned, they are a broker for puppy mills exclusively operated by the Amish, who unscrupulously and inhumanely breed dogs for pure profit. My puppy arrived with fleas and three different types of worms. Upon realizing the multitude of health issues our dog had during her short life, I learned that reputable breeders do inexpensive DNA testing to ascertain whether the Wheaten Terrier sire and dam are carriers of PLN so as not to pass on the disease within the breed. The individual I spoke with by phone was named John Stoltzfus of Honey Brook, PA, and purported to be the breeder (he also spells his name Stoltzfoos to obfuscate records). However, the paperwork that arrived listed the breeder as Amos Stoltzfus/Stoltzfoos. The American Canine Association is a sham registry, created by Greenfield Puppies brokers to lend an air of legitimacy, but buyers are purchasing unhealthy dogs raised in puppy mills. Do a google search regarding the horrors of puppies bred by the Amish. A clue that you may be buying a puppy from a puppy mill is that the breeder does not request you to fill out a questionnaire/be interviewed to ensure their puppies go to responsible homes. Greenfield Puppies is truly unconscionable.
