I purchased a dog from Cattle Rustler Kennels 4 years ago.
From the first time I received the pup there were problems. He came to me dirty, very, very unsocial, & with a pack of Kibbles & bits. (when RT claims to feed super premium diets) The puppy was extremely fearfully aggressive at 8 weeks of age. I called RT with this concern, he of course said, "keep after him" - "he'll be fine". I have been a veterinary nurse for 25 years & have never seen an animal with so much fear based aggression. I took him to work with me everyday, trainer after trainer, - even tried prozac.. The dog constantly tried to attack me & my husband. He was NEVER stable, he had congenital defects in his eyes & RT never returned any e-mail from me, once he cashed my check. It was a terrible tragedy, I euthanized this animal last month after he attacked out of fear yet again. I have also never experienced an animal that was so tormented, he clearly not well socialized or looked after. Buying a pup from CRK was a huge mistake on my part. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BREEDER TO ANYONE EVER. What a sad & frightening experience for me & my family. Oh & RT never returned a signed contract to me, never returned calls or emails regarding any concerns with this animal, & wouldnt take the animal back because I neutered him! Really you would breed from a dog with a congenital eye issue & severe aggression?? STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN, HIS DOGS, & ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH HIM & HIS TERRIBLE KENNEL.
