Our story is one that has cost us TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars at the hands of a very MANIPULATIVE person, Heather Collins.
My boyfriend and I became very interested in the Bull Terrier dogs, we got a puppy (not from Heather) and adored him and decided we wanted to start breeding and begin a kennel.
After a lot of time and research we got in touch with Heather Collins. At first she was helpful, loaded with what sounded like good advice / information and gained our trust. We decided to begin our kennel and purchase some dogs from Heather. We explained we wanted dogs ages 1-2 yrs or as close to it as possible in good health, non-related etc. We wired Heather over $10, 000.00 for the dogs based on trust and good faith hoping we were getting what we discussed and agreed on.
When the dogs arrived they were ditry, and clearly ill cared for, the stud dog (male) she sent us was 100% BLIND (which our vet later told us was most likely hereditary). The females were all older than what we were told and their paperwork didnt match what Heather had previously emailed to us, and they were all over-bred. The male and one of the females were blood brother and sister, and one female was almost 7 years old and looked as if she had been bred almost every heat she's ever had!
Long story short we spent thousands to get these dogs and thousands in vet bills, our life savings went into this and we almost lost everything. Luckily we were able to rebuild our kennel and start fresh the RIGHT way.
I tried contacting Heather first about the male being blind as a bat and her answer was " he was fine when he left here maybe someone sprayed him with something at the airport ", she was defensive, short and unwilling to accept any responsibility for the dogs she sent me. Eventually I gave up on her as it became clear she would never help us and was only in this for the money and to take advantage of people who didn't know any better at that time.
She advertises in Dog Fancy and some of the other dog publications, STAY CLEAR of her, she is a horrible person to deal with please learn from my mistake this woman is not to be trusted!
