Phat Dachshunds- A+++ EXCELLENT

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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

What a pretty name Justine,wish we did sell a dog to someone with that pretty of a name but unfortunately we didn't, we did however sell a dog to bulla ballbreaker from the movie porkys or at least that is who you look like. Still no job poor morgan.

I guess your new job is making fake identities on this website because you aren't able to buy dogs from us anymore. Maybe your old *** husband or uncle Larry whoever he is this week can find another scam to embark on. So keep on texting us and emailing us because we know you will not answer the tracfone you guys keep purchasing and pretending like you are a deaf old guy who can't talk. 615605****.

Please call this number because theyare impersonating a retired attorney. I actually tried calling this number 3 times with no success and would you know it that they didn'thave a voicemail set up as usual.

The harassment isn't working. Wish I had taken a picture when I had the chance because you guys look hilarious.

Mike Honcho is that another name for Phat Dach? You know who I am Phat Dach you sold me a female Dach who has numerous skin issues.

My name is Justine. You sell tons of puppies but you know who I am and I would think could find me in your records for the many many litters you produce or at least I guess you keep records. I do not know these people you keep insulting but you are really showing how low you are. My dog is being treated for skin issues but at least she is away from you.

People post comments about the bad experience they've had with Phat Dach and you come back totally unglued and only prove what customers are saying about you. Phat dach you really are low and I hope justice finds you for all of us that you have ripped off.

Phat dachshunds is a puppy mill with no ethics or professionalism. If you doubt then read what Phat Dach posts insulting people constantly.

Really taking it down to the gutter. Mike Honcho, Mike Hunt, Dusty Mayron and other joke names. You are not dealing with decent business people. If rantings like this appeal to you then you are in a sad place.

I am Justine and bought a dach from Phat dach. I have the sales contract and vet bills to prove it so they post they never sold to me. they are not going to admit what they do at Phat Dach.

pretend it is a hoax, get cash from new buyers, then you post complaints and Phat Dach denies selling to you. Buyer beware.

Justine is a fat overgrown skank that does nothing but pic foomunda out from under her jugs all day, because shes the type to use perfume to skip a shower. This website is clearly a free for all with no validity. Anyone that believes anything on this website clearly has discernment issues.

Guest

I bought a Dachshund puppy from Phat Dachshunds several years ago and it definitely was not a happy experience. My Dachshund suffers from chronic skin issues.

I still have her but the vet bills keep going for a sick dog. My vet said the chronic skin condition is a genetic disorder so the problem came from Phat Dach's.

I love my dog but never wanted to buy a defective pup that would have constant vet bills all her life. So no I did not have a wonderful experience with Phat Dach's.

Guest

Don't fall into Gina's trap. She is lying which is what she does all the time.

The reason Phat Dachshund on Facebook MIGHT look like a responsible breeder is because Gina hand picks who can be on her Facebook. I called Gina out a while back about a puppy complaint and her poor business ethic so she banned me from her Facebook. Sure did! If you have a complaint about Gina she thought you had no recourse about how she treated you.

You could call and text her and she would ignore you. Like if she ignores you it will all go away. When you state your grievance on her puppy mill Facebook she removes your comments and then bans you. This way all potential new buyers or victims I should say have nothing but good things to read about Gina and her breeding program.

I know all this from personal experience because Gina ripped me off and I spoke out so she banned me from Facebook & removed my comments. I am so thankful to whoever started this mission here on this website. We needed a leader. Thank you for your guidance.

Phat Dachshunds in Smyrna TN is one more puppy mill that needs to be shut down. I also want to say that I have read this above review that Gina Jacobs wrote where she is pretending to be a victim but Gina is actually the scammer. What she says about those customers is awful. No one should be talked about like that and especially public by someone claiming to be a professional and honest person.

I know what Gina Jacobs really is and I apologize for her to her customers. Gina is the type of person that you avoid at all costs.

She will cut your throat in a minute. I am so sorry she treated you this way.

Hi rachel,or should I say pathological liar Morgan,We know it's you,how many different names and post do you have on this pathetic site,must be around 30 by now. I guess it's safe to say you are still mad because we refuse to sell to scammers as yourself,do you really believe that people believe that other people or breeders is actually going to spend all day on here and fight your fake battles for you.

Scammers don't invite other people into their homes and certainly do not have puppy mills in subdivisions. These post is comical at this point and everyone is laughing at these post which is completely false and no way accurate.

YOU ARE THE JOKE!!! GET A LIFE!!!

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!!!

My family purchased a puppy in January 2019. We have a female her name is Bella.

We have no complaints about the puppy very healthy and beautiful and loving puppy. Our Veterinarian examined her when we brought her home to Arkansas and he said she was very healthy and had no worms and no current health problems. The owner Gina and her husband are very nice and they seem to love their animals. We have told everyone about Phat Dachshunds and the owners.

Shared Phat web site with my friends.

We are so happy Bella came into our lives. Thank You, Gray Family

I bought a pup from Phat and she developed IVDD, which resulted in a rupture in a disc in her back. She now drags her back legs and has no bowel or bladder control.

We spent thousands of dollars.I’m not sure if this breeder knew my dogs parents were carriers for this issue, I did notify her.I have noticed there are an endless supply of pups from this breeder. The numbers have increased steadily since I bought my dog.

I believe it is a puppy mill and this breeder is only interested in $$$ not producing healthy dachshunds. Sad.

Gee! Funny that we have never heard of you before, and we have had 0 calls from you about anything,oh wait,It's because it's you again puppy scammer,must not have found a real job yet besides making up fake names and putting bogus reviews on this site.

What would be good is if you would actually do something good with your life and not just scam on people just to spin that crazy wheel you have in your head. Being jealous of other people and trying to crash their achievements is a lot of wasted time. Tell your fake husband aka uncle old man larry to do the same. He should have a *** retirement since he retired from being a Attorney General like you said,lol,what a joke.

I just wish we had a picture of you guys just to show everyone on here what you look like. They would die laughing.

I bought a dog from Gina at Phat Dach's several years ago. She has chronic skin issues.

I still have her but it is constant vet bills. Gina knows of many of us not happy with her puppies and her selling sick dogs. She does not care. All Phat Dachshunds wants is your money.

Gina definitely mass produces puppies.

Only $$$ is what she wants. My experience with Phat Dachshunds is not a good one.

Connie, do you know the names of the parents to your puppy that has IVDD? Either their registered names or anything?

Even what color they are. Phat Dachs is producing plenty of puppies with genetic disorders and Gina is aware. She is no more than a puppy mill breeding her dogs to death. Your money is all she wants.

I assume Phat Dach's did not replace your puppy or issue a refund?

If you can post any info that would be wonderful. Many of us are compiling information to go to the State.

I bought a Dachshund pup from Phat Dachshunds and the entire process was a nightmare. I will get in touch with this investigator. Until now some of us did not know how to let others know what kind of puppy mill and scam operation Phat Dachshunds is.

Anyone that has a complaint against Phat Dach make sure you let everyone know. I am so repulsed.

I bought a female Dachs from Phat Dach in Smyrna Tn. She has suffered from skin issues for years now. I posted a complaint on this website about my experience with Phat Dach so Phat Dach comes on as Mike Honcho and says that they never sold me a dog that is a lie. I have the sales contract and vet bills to prove.

I see the pattern. When someone posts a comment then Phat Dach comes on here with nasty insults and says they never sold a dog to that person. So far I see phat dach is posting as Mike Honcho, Mike Hunt, Dusty Mayron and anything else to look foolish. I posted my review then get attacked by liars at Phat Dachs.

Read how Phat dach lashes out at gutter level.

Any questions about the people behind Phat Dach? Buyer beware.

Guest

I purchased a puppy from Phat Dachshunds last year. I took the puppy to my local vet the next day and he said it was as healthy as a puppy could be.

She will be a year old very soon and has grown into a very healthy, beautiful dog. I have also read of at least fifty other Phat Dachshund owners on their Facebook page that are very happy with their puppies.

Guest

I am another disappointed Phat Dachs customer. I spent a lot of money to get my puppy well but I am glad she is with me instead of still living in a cage at Gina's.

My puppy had skin issues, bacteria issues from filth, and several internal parasites.

I will be contacting Animal Internet Crimes. Please stop the animal abuse.

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

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

Here's my view of this. Heaven Sent Dachs, if you lie or exaggerate about something in your post, how do you expect anyone to believe anything you say.

You say Phat has 50-60 litters of pups a year and that is no way near the truth. I bought a Phat pup last year and have been thinking about getting her a playmate so I go on to Phat's page at least every other week just to see what they have available. I know for a fact that Phat goes for a month or 6-7 weeks at a time with no new litters. According to you they have a new litter of pups at least once and sometimes twice a week and that's just not true.

And no I'm not Gina. I went into their home when I picked my pup up and there was no smell at all like you would think there would be if the conditions were as bad as you claim. Plus when I asked about my pups parents, Gina went and got both of them and brought them into the house and they were very clean dogs.

I'll watch how you campaign against Phat Sachsunds turns out, but as of right now I'm not buying into it at all. There are just too many happy Phat Dachshund owners on their Facebook page.

Hello Frank!

You are incorrect Frank. Phat Dachshunds does produce 50-60 litters a year.

Dogs are hidden in Gina's garage & are kept quiet with shock collars. The reason I know this is because Gina Jacobs pretended to befriend a customer then cheated her, stole from her too. Gina confided many issues about her business & having too many dogs including the way she kept them quiet. Gina churns out puppies constantly.

If you look at her website now you will see a poor quality puppy named "Nugget". The poor puppy is just hideous. His mother is Maggie. Well Maggie was bred on her first heat at under a year old.

Gina is not concerned about her dachshunds only getting money from them as quick & as much as she can.

Also I am trying to find the past owner of a black & tan dapple piebald long hair female Dachshund named "Pepper". The dog is currently in the possession of Gina Jacobs at Phat Dachshunds. Gina owes the lady (that owned Pepper) the return of the dog after breeding her to death & Gina also owes the lady two puppies from Pepper. It must be a breeder-to-breeder agreement.

This happens sometimes. Gina breeds Pepper constantly & lists the puppies on Phat Dachshunds site as the mother being "Piper" to deceive the lady. Gina does not want to fulfill her contract with the woman so Gina is doing her usual..cheating someone. My new customer/Gina's old customer has the text in her phone where Gina Jacobs openly admits that she is cheating Pepper's past owner.

Hopefully the lady will find this & confront Gina. Pepper has puppies now & they are listed on Phat Dach's website. Naturally the mother is listed as Piper to fool the lady she owes puppies to. It is the Piper X Tiger litter.

Two brindle piebald males Harry & Henry.

I have a copy of Pepper's registration papers. Registered name PIPER RAZZI . Birthdate FEB 17 2*** (* YEARS OLD & STILL A PUPPY MAKING MACHINE). SIRE MR PIBB.

DAM BROOKES BREEZE. BREEDER TAMMY WILLIAMS.

To the lady that placed Pepper with Gina Jacobs--------------------Pepper is still being bred & housed at Phat Dachshunds. She has puppies currently by a brindle sire Tiger. Gina lists her as "Piper" instead of "Pepper" to fool you so you will not know because she does not want to relinquish Pepper to you or provide the puppies she owes you.

Gina is going to cheat you & steal from you just like she did her former customers. Gina is a user! She uses people & finally some people are pushing back.

Several breeders have banded together to help spread the word about Phat Dachs & her scamming. She is a terrible human being.

reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1431621

The current litter from Pepper (Piper Razzi) is sired by a brindle named Jasper. They were born December 30, 2017.

Two brindle piebald males Harry & Henry. Ready to go February 24, 2018. The brindle piebald short hair male is reserved for the Mullinicks. Gina falsely lists the mother as "Piper" opposed to the real name of Pepper to avoid fulfilling her contract of giving the lady the puppies she owes her from Pepper.

Gina did have a breeding female named Piper (red piebald) so she uses that name as a cover on her website to hide Pepper's puppies. Once again she is cheating someone. The lady Gina refers to as "the crazy lady".

I have my customers' paperwork in front of me in which they purchased a puppy from Gina out of Pepper----listed on Phat Dachs website as Piper. That litter was born May 22, 2017 & was from Pepper (false name Piper) and Tiger the other brindle male.

No surprise that Pepper is bred every heat. Poor dog.

Gina has no intentions of honoring her agreement with the lady on Pepper. Gina is a cheat & turns on anyone when they stand their ground to her.

Hello, I have stumbled onto this website. I know a couple who adopted a puppy from this place and they are very happy.

I have a deposit on a puppy from there now. I am so conflicted after reading these comments. I have rescue dogs now. I haven't purchased a puppy in ages.

I was so excited to have a fur baby.

Now I am very worried. How can you tell that Nugget from her webpage is poor quality?

Hello Lola! My advice to you is to run away from Gina Jacobs at Phat Dachshunds in Smyrna TN.

Gina hides approximately 50 Dachshunds in her home & keeps them quiet with shock collars. The reason I know some of my info on Gina is because my new customers were Gina's former customers. Gina pretended to be this lady"s ( my customer) friend and shared a lot of personal info with her. Their "friendship" went downhill when Gina sold them puppies that died of genetic defects and Gina will not replace the puppies even with proof by autopsy.

Gina defends herself by saying the postings are a lie, etc---what you expect Gina to say. There is now a investigation ongoing about Chris & Gina Jacobs and their puppy mill run out of their home in Smyrna TN. Gina is mass producing Dachshunds and does not even take the puppies to a vet--ever---and then sells them for high dollars. The former customers of Gina's did not get replacement puppies but Gina did cuss them out by text (very unprofessional) and retaliated by stealing $400 they had as deposits on her puppies.

They call and text Gina but she has not communicated with them since November 2017. Gina is guilty of producing sick pups and she stole from them so she is now hiding & calling her customers the liars. Grade school mentality from Gina Jacobs. She not only dresses like a child but has the maturity level to go with it.

To answer you question on "Nugget" & why he is poor quality. I have been a Dachshund breeder for many years & produced several AKC Champions. Gina has never even owned a Champion muchless bred one from her litters. Nugget has a poor head shape, his coat color is mutated, his nose is too short even for a puppy.

He looks like a Cock-a-poo or some kind of designer breed (mutt). Even more disturbing is that Nugget's mother (Maggie) was bred on her first heat at only 10 months old. Gina was so greedy that she bred a 10 month old female puppy. Reputable breeder?

I think not. If you cancel the sale I imagine Gina will keep your deposit--she is so greedy. Still it may be better to walk away from the deposit than to spend thousands in vet bills and watch your pet die. Gina's customers (mine now) lost over $1,500 in vet bills in one day because of one of her garage bred Dachshunds and Gina would not even speak with them.

Then she posts that they are lying. Really? Even though I have seen the autopsy report & vet bills.

If you chose to buy from Gina at Phat Dachshunds----consider yourself warned. Gina is going to lie & deny----you don't really expect her to admit it do you?

Hello Gabriel--or should I say Gina Jacobs? I believe this is Gina writing her own review about her breeding kennel.

I have been watching Phat Dachshunds website & Facebook page.

There has not been a sale or deposit received from a Gabriel.

This is Maria from Heaven Sent Dachshunds. The one that sent you 4 emails about your former customers that you ripped off. You ignored all 4 of my emails.

So much for prompt communication. You ignored numerous attempted contact from your customers about the dying puppies you sold them, stealing $400 in deposit money from them, but you did have your husband Chris Jacobs cuss them out in text. Chris being courteous? Spare me!

I will be happy to post the screen shot of him cussing out your customer. I will post it here on Pissed Consumer so potential customers will see just how courteous he is.

So Gabriel Gina, you called the state & there is no investigation about your kennel? Amazing how you knew which office to call. What city, which department?

Liar. There is an investigation because you have sold so many sick dogs. I have a copy of the business card for the USDA investigator with Agricultural Crimes that is investigating you. I will be happy to post a copy of his card on Pissed Consumer so all the people you ripped off can call him.

As far as AKC, you charge high dollars for puppies who you mostly sell as CKC.

You don't want AKC to know how many litters you produce to avoid inspections. You produce over 50 litters of Dachshunds every year. Puppy mill!

Did you tell your new puppy buyers that their puppy never saw a vet? You never spent one dime on vet care or a vet visit though you continue to increase the price of your puppies.

For you to care so much about your customers you never would respond to the couple or agree to see the autopsy report on the Dachshund puppy you sold them that lived about 2 weeks after you sold it to them. I have a copy of the autopsy report. That puppy had 3 genetic disorders & it died as a result of your puppy mill. With what you did to this couple I have no doubt all these complaints on here are true.

This couple is in the process of filing a lawsuit against you. When you are standing in a courtroom is that all going to be a lie too? You are totally fake. Anyone that has been sold a sick Dachshund by Gina Jacobs please email me & I will put you in contact with the couple who is filing a lawsuit against Gina Jacobs.

I emailed Gina & asked her to try & resolve the issue with the couple. Gina would not respond to me or them. She does not care about her customers or the large numbers of puppies she produces. If you have been sold a sick puppy by Phat Dachshunds email me at heavensentdachshunds@***.com.

Amazing Gina how you can take the time to write this bogus review about yourself but you couldn't take the time to communicate with the customers you scammed or respond to any of my emails I sent you about stealing money & selling sick puppies. You have no problem with past customers knowing what you are you just want to lie & cover it up so you can get money off new customers.

You decided at some point that your business reputation meant nothing to you. Live with it.

I am not saying that everything you are writing is not possible, however I can tell you that I am very pleased with Phat Dashounds. We have bought 3 and about to be number 4 Dashounds from them and none of ours have had any issues.

Gina has always been very good to us and has never pushed us into a sell, in fact she has been very helpful with everything we have asked. I have been to her house and seen the conditions many times and have always thought she was running a very nice place.

We are very happy with our puppies and will continue to use Gina and Phat Dashounds in the years ahead. The Youngs from Hilton Head, SC (formerly from Knoxville, TN)

Steve,

I saw your deposit listed for a piebald wire hair female Dachshund from the Fergie x Prince litter. Be aware that Gina's former customers purchased a black/tan wire hair male from Fergie's last litter & the puppy was diagnosed with a genetic heart disorder (patent ductus) so Fergie does carry for this life threatening genetic defect.

The male puppy purchased has died from his heart issue. The customers have all vet paperwork & even a DNA analysis to prove the Dachshund puppy was indeed stricken with this ailment & the puppy did come from Phat Dachshunds (parentage can be proven with DNA). Gina Jacobs will not correspond with these people but did have her husband Chris cuss them out by text. This can be shown & proven.

Gina is claiming to be scammed while she sold them this puppy & others that died of genetic defects. Paperwork & DNA results are in-hand on each puppy. Gina Jacobs will not correspond with her customers, other than having her cussing husband text them, which is very bad business. She does not health test her breeding stock & the females are bred every single heat.

Fergie has never had a break in breeding. I have bred Doxies for many years & I can tell you that Gina has started the demise of her business. The former customers even had money on dogs of Gina's. After Chris Jacobs cussed them out Gina placed their puppies for sale & stole the money she had collected.

This is blatant theft & cannot be justified. The husband (former customer) is in law enforcement for the U S Government & I feel like Gina picked the worst ( or should I say best) person to sell sick dogs to & steal from. Gina has a hard road of legal troubles ahead of her. She can feed you a bunch of lies when you pick up your puppy but the truth is in the vet paperwork, autopsy reports, DNA certificates, texts.

Gina has a major problem coming. Search internet she has many complaints for selling unhealthy dogs. A breeder that sells dogs that die soon after purchase and steals money from her customers then won't even talk with them. The customers send Gina texts and she ignores them.

Gina has the total mentality of a child. Steve, I hope your puppy is healthy. I suggest you have her heart checked out. The mother to your puppy (Fergie) has already produced a puppy that died of a defective heart and she never gets a break in breeding.

Her poor body will wear out. Gina produces 50-60 litters of Dachshunds a year. That is a puppy mill.

No argument can be given. 50-60 litters a year.

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

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
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!

Hate that I had to find this. I bought a dachshund pup from Phat dachs last year.

I definitely paid way to much for him. On Gina's website it says at 5 weeks old the pups get a neopar shot against parvo. look under her puppy info tab on her site. The shot record she gave me for my pup did not show him getting a neopar shot at 5 weeks or ever.

Another one of her lies just trying to make a buck. very disheartening. My vet suggested I have him do Max's shots all over again because catching Gina in the neopar lie means she probably did not give him shots at all. She cuts corners on these poor little pups to make more money.

She refused to give me her vets name so that means my pup never saw a vet.

I hope this cruel woman gets shut down soon. Save the animals.

This is so disgusting. I work with a young woman that bought a dachshund puppy from Gina and it died after not having it very long.

I will let her know that she is not the only person having trouble with this breeder. Hope she will post and tell you her story.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY A DACHSHUND FROM GINA JACOBS. It is a scam.

So far no luck getting the young woman to tell her story on Gina Jacobs and her Dachshund Ripoff Scam! I am furious with this situation.

The young woman has money so Gina pretended to be her friend to get loads of cash off her for poor quality, sick dachshund puppies and to sell Rodan Field skin products to. There is a very hot place waiting for people like Gina Jacobs and her dachshund scam.

Know what I mean? The fires of ______.

I know Gina personally. She is a very two faced woman.

Stay away from her.

She is nothing like she pretends to be. She is why her kids turned out to be the way they are.

615-692-**** PHAT DACHSHUNDS IN SMYRNA TN OWNED BY GINA JACOBS. BUYER BEWARE! PHAT DACHSHUNDS HAS MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS FOR SELLING SICK DACHSHUNDS THAT RUN UP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN VET BILLS. MANY DIE ANYWAY. GINA WILLINGLY DOES NOTHING. SHE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE USDA AND BY THE RUTHERFORD COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPT FOR ANIMAL NEGLECT AND SELLING SICK PUPPIES. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT SHE HAS TWO FEMALE DACHSHUNDS BRED (MAGGIE AND POPPY) AND THEY ARE EXPECTING PUPPIES WHILE THEY HAVE NOT EVEN TURNED A YEAR OLD YET. 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. HOPEFULLY ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRIMINAL CHARGES WILL COME AGAINST GINA JACOBS. SAVE YOURSELF A TON OF MONEY AND HEARTACHE. DO NOT BUY A PUPPY MILL DACHSHUND FROM 615-692-****.

Stop screaming with the all capital letter format.

It is difficult and irritating to read.

How did you lose $5000 as you claim if the dogs cost $900 ?

Did you buy 5.55 puppies ?

I bought a dachund from Gina at Phat Dachs. My puppy was loaded with worms and she has had constant skin issues.

I will never make the mistake of buying a puppy from her again.

Do not buy a dog from Phat Dachs. The nightmare never ends.

Shut down Phat Dachshunds in Smyrna TN. Authorities do something she is right there under your nose.

Large numbers of abused dachshunds living in crowded filthy cages at 409 Paddle Wheel Lane in Smyrna TN 37167.

Do not buy a sick dachshund puppy from Gina Jacobs at 615-692-****. Stop Puppy Mills!

I bought a Dachshund from Gina at Phat Dachs. She sold him as a mini but he is definitely a standard size.

Got way larger than I was told. She is just after your money. No concern for the customer or fate of the dog if it has to be rehomed because your apartment has size limitations on dogs. Looks like the story of Phat Dachshunds is one heartache after another.

Please do not buy from this greedy woman. Stay away from her.

615-692-**** SICK PUPPY DACHSHUND

615-692-**** SOLD ME A SICK PUPPY. EARLIER THIS YEAR I BOUGHT A MINI DACH FROM GINA JACOBS PHAT DACHSHUNDS. SMYRNA TN. I HAD A DEPOSIT ON THE PUPPY AND CONTACTED GINA AGAIN WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PICK MY PUPPY UP AND BRING HER HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED AT GINA'S THE PUPPY WAS PRESENTED TO ME WITH HAIR MISSING. A LOT OF HAIR MISSING. GINA LIED AND SAID IT WAS FROM PLAYING WITH ITS LITTERMATES. I WAS RELUCTANT BUT TOOK THE PUPPY BECAUSE I THOUGHT GINA WAS A GOOD BREEDER. WELL I TOOK MY PUPPY TO THE DOCTOR AND GUESS WHAT? SHE HAS SARCOPTIC MANGE THAT COMES FROM MITES IN UNCLEAN BEDDING AND FILTHY CONDITIONS. BASICALLY A PUPPY MILL. I HAVE TONS OF VET BILLS NOW WITH TREATING MANGE AND IT IS THE KIND THAT I CAN GET OR SO CAN MY DAUGHTER. THANKS GINA FOR A SICK PUPPY!!!! IF YOU GO TO BUY A PUPPY FROM GINA AND IT HAS HAIR MISSING DO NOT BUY IT. THE DOG IS SICK WITH MANGE. I DID NOT STUDY PHAT DACHSHUNDS UNTIL GINA SCAMMED ME. ON HER WEBSITE NOW 11-24-2017 SHE HAS 5 LITTERS OF DACHSHUNDS FOR SALE AND 5 MORE LITTERS BRED. UPCOMING LITTERS: PAISLEY X SNOOP FERGIE X PRINCE WINNIE X SMOKEY MAGGIE X SNOOP POPPY X TIGER That is 10 litters that we know of. 5 on the grounds for sale and 5 more bred. Absolutely a puppy mill just out for the money. My heart breaks for the poor puppies. Such horrible conditions and such a cruel person Gina Jacobs is. I WILL GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT PHAT DACHSHUNDS PUPPY MILL.

I see that today Gina has received deposits on 2 dachshund pups. 1 from The Parks on a tacky light red female and 1 from Drew in Nashville for a red male.

Little do they know what heartache and expense they just brought on themselves. Gina did have the red male at $650 and just recently raised him to $800. She just cannot help herself. She has to cheat and overcharge.

Thankfully a lot of people google search breeders so Gina will not be scamming people as much as she once did.

Why do people buy from puppy mills? Why don't they have enough sense to check breeders out?

Word will spread about Gina Jacobs and Phat Dachshunds puppy mill. 615-692-****.

My puppy from Gina Jacobs had skin issues too due to unclean living conditions. I google searched Gina after I got my unhealthy dachshund but there was nothing out there at the time.

So glad that word is getting out about her and her puppy mill.

Gina Jacobs puppy mill address is

409 Paddle Wheel Lane

Smyrna Tn 37167

Lets get her puppy mill shut down.

Why can Gina be so blatant about not caring about her dogs and overproducing pups? Why get away with being a puppy mill?

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1395557

Gina Jacobs WILL NOT get away with being a puppy mill. She just did not have the right person after her.

A lady at my work place bought several mini dachshunds from Gina and 4 have died. All 4 died of genetic issues and the lady has vet paperwork and autopsy reports in hand. Gina sold her the dogs knowing they were sick. The lady has tried talking with Gina at Phat Dachshunds but Gina will not respond (because she knows she is guilty) but had her "husband" Chris Jacobs text her cussing her out.

Very impressive. Very manly. See the big L on Chris's forehead? The great part about it is that the lady that Gina Jacobs ripped off....well you won't believe what her husband does for a living?

Wow Gina, you really picked the right person to rip off.

Do not worry Gina Jacobs' Phat Dach's puppy mill has fallen into the right person's hands. Maybe she will have to get a real job to support her family instead of the blood money from breeding her dogs to death and selling sick puppies.
