WARNING
BACKYARD BREEDER, LIAR...
BREEDING UNDER AGED DOGS. BREEDING BACK TO BACK..
REMOVED ALL NEGATIVE FACEBOOK REVIEWS
Also has changed her business name and removed Doberman.
We put a deposit down for a doberman puppy back in November 2021. This litter never happened. We decided to wait for the next litter which was supposed to be due at the end of April 2022.
This litter also never arrived. Both times I had to reach out to Michelle (owner) several days after the expected due dates to see what was going on as she never bothered to contact us in regards to the litters not arriving. Month's of excitement for our family led to disappointment. I get things happen but after talking to Michelle  she said that she would have to give us our deposit back as she had no puppies, and we also decided at this time that it would be what we would like. It is now June 26 2022 and we still have not gotten our full deposit back. On top of that anytime I have reached out to Michelle in regards to getting my deposit back it is met with excuses or as of now no response at all. She has even starting blocking us from her social media where calling her out is now the only way to get a response from her. Unfortunately I now know I am not the only person in this boat, there are several of us.
We also now know after months of research that she is a "backyard breeder" who refers to her dogs as breeding stock and when asked about health and genetic testing will dodge the questions and come up with an excuse to not answer them. I wouldn't even call her a breeder as she seems to have no care at all for her "pets".
I was excited to work with Michelle at the beginning but now I am feeling extremely disappointed and taken advantage of.
I would be very cautious giving money to Michelle as a down payment without seeing proof of actual puppies, health testing and proof of breeding dogs age.
Please do your reach on this "business"before buying.

Do not put a deposit down with this woman! Everything the above review states is true! I know Michelle, her dogs are in bad conditions, ear mites, unclipped nails, missing patches of fur, incredibly dirty teeth and the smell!! She breeds her dogs before they are 2, breeds them every heat without a break and tries to breed dogs which a vet told her should not have further pregnancies. She does not take her females to the vet at all. All this woman cares about is money.
Please do not buy from this backyard breeder!

WARNING STAY AWAY!!!!!
BACKYARD BREEDER AND SCAMMER!!!!

I am going through the exact thing as the previous review from ashley. i found michelle, aka kishin akitas and adel dobermans on kijiji. i was looking to purchase a doberman pup and messaged michelle in november 2021 and was told the pups would be arriving in april 2022. turns out, it was a “false pregnancy” and i was told i would receive my deposit back. a month and a half has gone by and still i haven’t received my $500 deposit back. only thing i’ve received is countless excuses and sob stories for me to feel bad for. i was told by another individual who was also scammed by michelle, the disgusting and horrible living state those dogs are in. stay far away from her.
