    I got Beautifully Blue Tri ***** Male Bully from Swagkennels. I was a little scared at first because I was sending a complete stranger money, but they assured me that what I see on the website I will get and they have been in dog breeding business for years. A few days after signing contracts and sending money ***** the owner personally Brought me my puppy to ******** it was love at first sight its been a year and my family wouldnt be complete without him when taking him out in public the compliments from people on how Beautiful and huge he is just puts big smile on my face and his temperament with my younger kids is perfect such a gentle Giant I would definitely get another puppy and recommend getting a puppy from them.

    By the far the best kennel out there. We got our baby drogo from there and he couldnt be more of a blessing. If youre looking for a sweet, and beautiful puppy make sure you got it from them. Theyre very knowledgeable and treat all the puppies as their own.

    Bought a 5 month old pup from the breeder; had the pup 6 weeks and noted some issues with rising from sit/lay. Vet dx with **rays hip dysplasia. I contacted the breeder and sent them the **rays and vet clinic notes with diagnosis. My ask was to refund the mo way I paid for this female I was going to breed in order that I could pay the $5-10k for the surgery, help the pup not be in pain, and then keep the pup and not breed her.Their solution was to offer a stud for free for the rehomed older female I purchased from them as well. Then I could keep a pup from the litter.This doesnt solve the issue of paying $$$ for a non-breedable female, leaves me with the additional cost of surgery for this sweet pup, and would add a third dog to my home which I cannot do.I did a ****** review an even posted the **rays and vet dx but I guess you can pay to remove the bad reviews. BUT they wont do the right thing for this pup.My pup was from the breeding of GQ with *****Beautiful dogs at this kennel, but make sure you know you have a iron clad health warranty, have a lawyer review your contract and keep in mind the breeder is awesomeuntil there is an issue, at which point they only care about keeping the $$$ and dont give a dam about the dogs health.

    Dear ******,All our dogs are genetically tested (Orivett, Embark tested 100% healthy), before puppy purchase you visited **, played with a puppy and saw adult dogs. You told us that you were full of love with our dogs and decided to purchase a puppy. The older female that you also purchased is not old / retired like you stated to make us look bad, the other dog like you mentioned in your review just turned 3 years old, she is still young, large breed dogs live up to ***** years. After you finally decided to purchase a puppy we scheduled a vet appointment for a full health check and met with you in the vet clinic so you could ask the veterinarian any questions about the puppy's health condition. Veterinarian issued a Health certificate that the puppy is absolutely healthy. Couple months later you called us and said that the puppy started limping. For all that period the puppy didn't show any symptoms , so the puppy was sold as absolutely healthy and by the way we still haven't received even one video of puppy limping. You demanded that we must issue you a full refund and LEAVE Puppy with you or you and your family members will leave bad reviews on all social media platforms. I'm sorry but it's not right to ask for a full refund and keep a puppy, it sounds like extortion money. Also you refused from free stud for your female that we offered and which cost twice more than you paid for a puppy, so you could keep a puppy you like.You refused because you said can't afford one more puppy in your house, but later offered stop activity with negative reviews if we let you keep a puppy plus give you one more $10k value, so we are confused. If for some reason you are not happy with your puppy we can replace it with any other you like (same value). If it's something you want to do just give us a call. I left you a few messages but haven't received a response yet. Swag Kennels didn't violate any part of the puppy purchase agreement even after all your threats. You know it. Best Regards,******.

    Thank you for reaching out and trying to assist with finding a resolution. You are correct that I did visit, I did see the puppy, but did not go further in checking her out physically. I trusted that what I was being told; the 5-month-old pup was not one you would breed due to an overbite.She is a beautiful pup, her markings are what helped us justify paying the amount we did, along with the fact we would breed her once and recoup he cost or close to it. Plus I have always wanted to have a dog to breedand this was my chance.I was not provided, nor did I ask, for the two tests that you mention above. I am a pet purchaser vs a knowledgeable breeder and I trust what people tell me.In regard to the other dog I purchased, I did not mean the comment to be negative. She is an older dog than the pup so that was the description I used. You rehomed her with me, because she has had two litters and is now retired from that. I do not feel it is a bad thing that breeders only do two litters and then as needed find good homes for their dogs. I think most people understand that it may be too many dogs for a breeder to keep them all. Plus rehoming is a great way for people to attain wonderful dogs. She is 4 based on the *** I was told yes still not really an old dog.The vet appointment was not one where I was included, nor invited to join and ask questions. It was in order to get whatever final shots were needed to be up to date and have the vet sign off on the Health Certificate in order to bring the pup across the border. It was not a health check about hips, elbows, or anything else like that. The dog actually was given to me with a bad case of coccidia (common in dogs; parasites in the intestines) and with a long round of medication which you paid for and provided; this was not a big deal. She was good after the meds and probiotics given to her.Because you to the fact I didnt want another dog, and now will accept another dog, I will explain one more time for all to read. We purchased a dog for 10K USD. I also have a rehomed mom dog. I then find out the pup has dysplasia (only after her being with me one month), I contact you to find a way to deal with it/resolution, I am advised by a professional/vet that at 5 months there is a very very slim chance you did not know (but I hope this is not the case), I am open that the 10K was a huge stretch for us; but for a breeding dog we justified this amount, this is now a non-breeding dog with surgery costs that will be very expensive, I asked to have the money refunded and provided the reason being I want to be able to have the surgery done on her so she does not have pain/develop more problems from this, and will now have a pup that cannot breed but would still cost me the money (if refunded) for the surgery/surgeries. I send you all the vet documentation and xrays. I loves these dogs; they are now part of our family, I will keep the pup and provide her a good life the best I can and hopefully for many years. It was not like I was scamming to get my money back plus have a great breeding pup for free. This would be a wash financially as the original $ paid would go towards the surgery for the pupdo you see what I have tried to explain over and over? Fast forward and after getting no where with *****, I gave up, the stress is just not worth it. Yes you did offer a stud for the retired mom to have one more litterwhich still does not mean I have the money for the surgery. Then after the other (pup owners) and I connect (due to my review) a credit for a pup of the same value is given to the group. I act on that (it is a new pup or a total loss of 10K I have no choice) and reach out only to be told it is not an offer for me because I am an extortionist and blackmailer, and threats are made to me.Fast forward again and you text me out of the blue. Excuse me for being very leery and wondering what is going on now?? I have read your offer, and I would like to accept a new female pup of the same value. I will work out the logistics on my end as I truly did not plan to have three dogs; but I cannot loose out totally on this, it is not fair if I do.I dont feel I have been treated very well, and from your messages neither do you. I am a person who moves forward and would like to put an end to this upsetting set of circumstance for both sides. I appreciate you have reached out and also feel that if you will stand behind the offer you are making, that people deserve to see this response and know you are working on resolution with me. Once we have completed this I can either remove the review or leave it up with this response included so that people know how we have come to a resolution. We can speak about this more and you can let me know your thoughts.Again, as in my original post, I want to reiterate for everyone that these are beautiful dogs with amazing temperaments, this litter just happened to have some skeletal dysplasia issues in some of the pups. ******, text and let me know when you would like to have a call and get this sorted out. I truly appreciate you reaching out to me.
