5/5

Great breeder!!!!!!!

I’ve came on here to address some things. My name is Whitney (YES Morgan... if that’s even your name...the real Whitney). It’s laughable seeing all these posts of you acting like 100 different people trying to destroy my mom. Give it a break. & to go as far as saying stuff about my baby & working street corners....that’s taking it way too far. Never known someone as cruel & evil as you. Maybe one of these days you’ll decide to stop being a psychopath & go spend your time doing something else rather than hide behind a computer being a troll. For anyone reading this, go read my mom’s review to get the whole back story. This lady is nuts. Ok, now go ahead & jump on this review as well acting like some more random people!!!

Great puppy and now great dog

Great breader, all the puppies are well adjusted to people and other dogs which makes it easy to socialize.

Phat Dachshunds- A+++ EXCELLENT

I would like to take a moment to reply to these hideous accusations and fill in anyone who happens upon this post the true story here. (Keep in mind this is a website that is not credible and will let anyone post anything they wish without proof) I am pretty sure most would agree that getting a dachshund from us was a great experience and this is what we strive for. Producing happy puppies for happy homes. Our whole family put their heart into our business. The accusers in this post are very mentally disturbed and stalk our website. They have been buying puppies from us for the last several years under the pretense of being "crazy about dachshunds" "dachshund lovers". This started as a mother and daughter coming and buying a puppy here and there. Then in the recent years they have bought many. When I question it they laugh it off as what's one more. Then she said she was buying puppies for her sisters who were also dachshund lovers. An old man now comes into the picture. The daughter claims it to be her husband (which is odd because he is old enough to be her grandfather it seems) When I question adoptions now she makes up a false claim that her husband is Larry Laurenzi (Memphis Federal Prosecutor) to deter me from questioning her motives and to "seem" she has power, I suppose. She was putting deposits on 2, 3, or 4 puppies each time we list new litters. (Alarming & uncomfortable for me knowing something was going on) Nobody would actually buy this many puppies for pets. Keep in mind she was posing as a friend texting me often (never calls, always texts) She was often late picking up puppies or making deposits on time and would have a major health issue each time to hold me off from selling the puppies to someone else. She has anemia, a fake pregnancy where the baby supposedly died, a near death infection from the late term fake miscarriage, and a heart attack (to name a few) When she would finally pickup the puppies she would bring candles and bath & body works as gifts to put a band aid on the situation so I would continue to sell and not question. She posed as being rich, married to a federal prosecutor. Always implying in a round about manner that he would cause trouble for anyone who crossed him. A few months ago she claimed a puppy i had sold her had died of a defect. I replaced the puppy-no questions asked (I should have asked questions) In November 2017 she decided she would start claiming several of the puppies had genetic defects and would die. ( Really? I haven't had any complaints and now you the same person claims 3 or 4 puppies have defects? They left me perfectly healthy) I asked questions this time. I asked to speak to their vet. I asked for their vet to call me or that they give me the number and info to call. (Keep in mind-this whole time-this lady and her husband do nothing but text me-no phone call) I try to call them both and her mother as well. No answer. I asked for them to mail me copies of the vet reports-NOTHING. They will not give me a vet to call or any documents to verify any of the accusations. Instead they go straight to this bogus website and start posting these disgusting accusations about our business and our family personally so it will show up in google searches. I have asked for their home address.They won't give us an address. I suspect they have something to hide there. They only use a PO box for an address. Their phone numbers have no voicemail set up and they will not answer calls. Now keep in mind-had they followed proper protocol as outlined in our health guarantee they would have replacement puppies as agreed-no problem. But instead they go straight to posting on this website to try and ruin our reputation/business (because I asked for proof, they were caught) They have relentlessly sent very threatening text messages and many emails through various G mail addresses posing as random people and more threats of ruining our business. We have also received mail at our home threatening our business and even a dirty envelope with a blank piece of dirty paper addressed to our 12 yr old child! (more threats) Check out the accuser Heavenly Dachshunds-there is no such place. No name, no address, no phone number, just a bogus G mail address. There is no investigation on us-bogus threats! FAKE NEWS! Fake G mail. We are an honest business with the highest regards to our wonderful customers (they know who they are!) * What we have concluded from this- the 3 individuals posting on this website with disgusting FAKE NEWS are all the same family-they want to ruin our reputation. Reason why-they are puppy flippers/scammers (have been buying our puppies and without our knowledge or consent, reselling those puppies for higher amounts of money) They are now butt hurt because they can no longer get our pups and make money. They must have been down on their luck and decided to make up sick puppy excuses to EXTORT free puppies from us, since there is NO PROOF of any sick puppies-NONE. They keep saying it but where is the proof? They refuse to give the info because the is NO INFO. They are not who they say they are. They have fake names, they are posing as federal officials and I believe that is a crime, they only have PO boxes for addresses and they have several phone numbers (with no voicemail setup) so most likely track phones used just for scamming. If you search this bogus website for ADORABLE BULLDOGS you will find it is the same people scamming people on bulldog puppies as well. I am sure this is how they found out about this website because they have many complaints. Description on these individuals-They drive a black Lincoln-the daughter doesn't drive-she is always brought by the older man. She claims she is married to this person and they are Morgan and Larry Laurenzi (federal prosecutor) which is a TOTAL LIE. He is definitely not the federal prosecutor but I hope the real Larry Laurenzi is a bit ticked off when he finds out scammers are posing as him. The daughter has brown shoulder length hair, glasses, obese, and smells distinctly to have very bad personal hygiene problems. They always smell of *** and I suspect because they live in filthy conditions. The mother short dark/greying hair, hunched over, 70ish. The husband solid grey hair, slightly hunched, 70s. The fake names and addresses are as follows Morgan Laurenzi/Alexander (daughter) Larry Laurenzi 731-661-**** or 901-831-**** or 901-671-**** P.O. Box 1116 Jackson, TN 38302 Marie Alexander PO Box 338 Somerville, TN 38068 7**-**4-8360 Every negative comment/harassment in these posts I assume to be them. I have not been contacted by any random people. If by chance you are posting a complaint and not them. I keep records of every puppy sold and should be contacted directly. Anyone wanting references for us can contact us directly-you know my number by heart after reading all this. We strive to be excellent at what we do. We don't post reviews here our puppies are family and we stay connected. Every customer comes directly to our home to meet their puppy and parents. You meet us, you see our home. Nothing to hide here! We love our Phat Dachshund family and are very sorry you have come across this. Let's all take away from this-there are very bad people in this world and we need to be very aware of what can be happening at any time. I have a folder of all text correspondence, emails, and mailings form these individuals for anyone who comes to our home to view. The same copies have been given to the police department as well. -Gina

Phat Dachsunds AAAAAAA++++++ Dogs and Service

I am writing this review to tell of my experience as a customer of Phat Dachsunds. I was referred to Gina from an aquaintence that had also purchased a dog from her. I recently bought a wonderful dog from Gina Jacobs. I was treated with complete professionalism and respect. She has been available on multiple occaisions by phone from the time that I put a deposit down and also after taking ownership of the dog. Communication was prompt and courteous. Upon arriving to pick up the dog I was greated by Gina and her husband Chris who was very courteous. I also saw multiple dogs that were clearly well taken care of. I am currently looking for other dog breeds when I stumbled across these posts. I was shocked to read that someone would leave such malicious remarks. I was concerned, having recently purchased a dog from her, I called the state myself and the AKC, and there are no such investigations on Gina Jacobs or her business. It is disappointing to see that someone would clearly behave in such a mean hateful mannor and make up malicious lies about a Gina and her business. She is a well established breeder who cares for her dogs and customers. Thanks Gabriel.

GINA JACOBS SELLS PUPPIES FOR UP TO $900 AND SHE NEVER TAKES THEM TO THE VET BEFORE SHE SELLS THEM TO YOU. SHE DOES NOT CARE IF SHE SELLS YOU A SICK DOG SHE JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY. SHE IS A GREEDY HEARTLESS INHUMANE PERSON WHO WILL BE SHUT DOWN. DO NOT BUY A DACHSHUND FROM 409 PADDLE WHEEL LANE SMYRNA TN 37167. IT IS A SCAM THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY DIFFERENT AGENCIES.

I WILL GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT PHAT DACHSHUNDS PUPPY MILL.

PHAT DACHSHUNDS--SMYRNA, TN--SELLING SICK PUPPIES

Has anyone had problems with a Dachshund purchased from Gina Jacobs of Phat Dachshunds? Phone number 615-692-****. I bought a mini dachshund from Gina. When I picked up my puppy he was underweight and smelled awful. I took him to the vet and he was full of worms. My vet looked at the shot record Gina gave me and he was appalled. Gina gives the shots herself--if she gives them at all--they are cheap shots and she gave them at the wrong ages. I have to now pay to redo his shots. My puppy being full of worms meant the wormer Gina gave was old or not given at all. Apparently Gina never had my puppy vet checked before selling him to me. She had no concern for the puppy she was selling. I bought my puppy a while back but we are still going to the vet to get the worms out of him. It just never ends. Sad that I paid that much only to buy a neglected puppy from a backyard breeder. I feel bad for any dog in Gina's care. Do yourself a favor---do not buy a dachshund from Phat Dachshunds in Smyrna TN. Save yourself a ton of vet bills!
