corbett creek kennels

"Mary Corbett is one of the sweetest people I have met in my life. She keeps her dogs happy and healthy. She begins training them very early on. I have witnessed first-hand on how professional and confident she can be while selling and informing get customers. Would recommend her to anyone."

"My pup was rehomed to us, but came by way of Autumn Oaks/Corbett Creek Kennels and Mary Corbette. He was diagnosed with Severe Bilat Hip Dysplasia at 13 months old and had his first major surgery on Monday. He will have the other side done in 6 weeks. He has been in tremendous pain for the last 6 months and now must endure the pain of surgery and intense rehab sessions. I am only grateful that this sweet, loving pup came to live with us and is far away from her now!!! I wouldn't wish what he is going thru on any pup or family. This is clearly a result of poor blood lines and over breeding. Other pups from his litter have sever GI issues and most likely will have hip issues arise as well. STAY FAR AWAY!!!! They are clearly a puppy mill and scam artists."

"Our Bernese puppy developed GI malabsorption syndrome at 6 months and had diarrhea for 2 months until the internal med vet got the right limited ingredient dog food and she has to have Vit B-12 shots every 3 weeks for the rest of her life. She also developed a tumor on her left shoulder which had to be removed. She developed bilateral elbow dysplasia at 11 months which is inoperable and has to take 2 pain meds . The dog will develop early severe arthritis and become more debilitated. Mary said she would return our money but only returned a part and then stopped returning our emails and calls. We have complaints in with the American Kennel Club and the Secretary of State against her. Don't ever buy a puppy from her. It has cost us literally thousands of dollars in vet bills, special diet and meds."

"Had very bad experience. A neighbor was going to get a dog from her and we asked him to pick ours up because it is a 3 hour drive. Mary sold us a 7 month old puppy. When we got her she had no name, couldn't go up or down stairs and had never been in a house so she was into everything. Unfortunately we had to send her back but got a 8 week old puppy. This poor puppy is underweight, has disentary and couple scars from other dogs. The neighbor that picked up the first puppy said the place was clean but there were bigger puppies in with smaller ones. She will not answer or return calls"

"I purchased a Vizsla from Mary Corbett in 2014 and had a terrible experience. I have since run into multiple different people who have also had very bad or at least abnormal experiences with Mary all involving either sick dogs or lies. She breeds multiple types of dogs on her property. Our story is this: I contacted Mary in the summer of 2014 after finding her on the AKC breeders site. I told her that I was looking for a vizsla puppy and asked about her upcoming litters. She told me that she did not have any vizsla puppies available or any litters planned, but that she had some weizsla (weimaraner/vizsla cross) puppies if I was interested in one of those. I declined and stated that I was only looking for a vizsla. After I said this she responded right away to tell me that actually she would have some vizsla puppies very soon because she was buying an entire litter from out in Iowa that she planned to keep a female from to breed and then sell the rest and I could have first pick of the litter. Knowing nothing about dog breeding this didn't seem too abnormal to me. After some correspondence with her I scheduled a day to go down and look at the puppies and pick one out. Mary brought out three females and told me that two of them were 8 weeks and the other was 10 weeks. Obviously this did not add up in the slightest if they were from the same litter. She also told me that I would be taking the puppy that day which was not at all what we had discussed prior. The property was a mess and I was put off by seeing that she was breeding multiple different breeds of dogs and that they all lived outside in rundown kennels. But I was young and very excited about getting a puppy and we went through with it and left with the 10 week old who had a big, deep scar on her butt that Mary had no explanation for the cause. My dog is three now and the scar is still prominent, her tail was docked too short, and the color of her eyes are not to breed standard. While inside Mary's truly disgusting house that smelled terrible and was an absolute mess we did all of the paperwork and Mary told me that I would be receiving the official papers in the mail. I had to contact her and ask for for these papers repeatedly and when they finally came none of the information on them was correct. She was listed as both the breeder and the owner of the litter. Also, she had told me that the puppies were born 7/15/14, but the paperwork stated 8/1/14. The puppy definitely looked 10 weeks so this birth date is not possible for when I picked the puppy up in September. I was fed up at this point and just gave up since my dog is only a family pet and the papers didn't really matter to me. I am fortunate that my vizsla is a sweet, healthy, and amazing dog, but I am now quite fearful that she came from a puppy mill. The rumor from people I have talked to is that Mary buys puppies from vizsla puppy mills at a low cost and sells them for a profit. This makes absolute sense given that she had puppies of multiple ages at one time. A woman I ran into this summer reaffirmed this for me when she had a similar story of Mary telling her there were no puppies available, trying to sell her a weimaraner puppy, and then magically having vizsla puppies all of a sudden. Looking back I should have walked away at the first signs that something wasn't right, but I was naive fresh out of college and kind of felt like I was rescuing the pup from a terrible place. Something is not right there and I certainly don't think she should be recognized by the AKC and she should absolutely not have an A+ rating on better business bureau. Google her name and you will find that she did jail time and was fined $84,000 by OSHA when she was "breeding" in New Hampshire. After she did her time she moved to Vermont and changed the kennel name. Do your research and do not get a puppy from this woman."
