Our bloodhound was supposed to be guaranteed against genetic health defects. She is only 3 and is a terminal cancer patient, has hip dysplasia in both hips, has an eyelid issue that is also genetic (entropion). When we tried to contact the breeder, our emails and calls were ignored for months. After trying one more time, Paul Smith yelled at me, using many obscenities, and then hung up the phone. He will not respond to any of our further attempts to communicate with him. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THEIR DOGS!!! I do not want any other person to ever have to go through the pain and anguish of their beloved dog having cancer and other health issues. PAUL SMITH IS RUDE, AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THESE DOGS!!
