CFK ships parvovirus and parasitized sick puppies
My name is Sam and I am a Cypress puppy owner. Previous to my purchase I researched Cypress Farm Kennel. I found the online complaints posted on this site. I also found where Cypress Farm discusses them on their website. I understand why Cypruss posted what they did on their website. This person has attacked them left and right and seems to be the only one that has caused a stir. Id feel it appropriate to defend myself from the allegations of a person that has gone on a Internet slander campaign. This is why I wanted to post and it will be positive. I believe that if Cypress has been breeding for as long as they have if they were poor breeders as these complaints suggest them to be then the Internet would be loaded with complaints about them from many different people. Sorry your puppy became ill, but I am very happy with my puppy from Cypress Farm. I would never have been able to afford such a nice puppy in the color of cream like mine is with all of the extra perks I got with my puppy. She came BAER tested, parents already tested for cataracts, and she is so smart all for only $600!
I thank Cypress Farm and am so glad that they didn't stop breeding because of this unfortunate incident. I recommend them fully and if you have any questions about my puppy you are more than welcome to email me.

CFK ships parvovirus and parasitized sick puppies
Im glad you had a postive experience but like the writer in the above complaint I did not. Here's the thing CFK could have always been good...who really knows...whose to say this is just the first time someone dared speak against the colored boston group. A lot of other breeders had negative things to say about this kennel when everything went crazy but its through the grapevine...I only know my own story. I think what it comes down to is that yes dogs get sick and yes breeders makes mistakes...this happens...but it is how the breeder handles the situation from there on out that seperates the good from the bad so lets hope you dont have problems. Believe me, I would have loved to post happy nice thoughts but unfortunatly my experience was a nightmare and I would have never dared to purchase a puppy from a breeder that had any questionable traits...why take the risk. Now being even more educated, I would NEVER by a puppy over the internet, I was advised not to and I should have listened...this is how puppy mills start. Sam did you visit the facility and can you honestly tell me what kind of place the puppies are at??? My dog was $500 but then I paid about $1000 in vet bills and missed a week of work. Im sure she will continue to breed and continue to "retire" every few years and then breed once a few months later. Good luck.

CFK ships parvovirus and parasitized sick puppies
Here's to CFK being the Walmart (or dollar store) of the colored boston terrier world... It's all marketing - the lower to the cost of the product, the higher the sales. If just a couple families every year or two walk away with several thousands in dollars vet expenses for sick or dying puppies, it doesn't bother CFK... they are still in the black. They'll slink away for a while, toy with the idea of retiring lol... then bust out some more cute puppies to sucker people into buying online. NO REPUTABLE BREEDER HAS TO MARKET THEIR PUPPIES ON EBAY. There are reasons for this.. and I have never seen a "FAQ" page on any breeder's website that tries to explain away the simple and blatant facts... CFK shipped 3 sick puppies. All had parvo. 1 died. CFK severed all contact with the sick/dead puppy owners. They can no longer advertise their dogs on PuppyFind because so much documentation was supplied that allows the website to disregard the breeder's request to HIDE negative reviews, if they had kept their ads on PuppyFind, there would be 5 negative reviews warning other prospective puppy buyers. A year later, they are breeding again, selling puppies for half of what other colored breeders are, and telling prospective puppy buyers exactly what they want to hear. All the health testing in the world is worth nothing when your puppies are dying and the breeder won't call you back. I would never risk buying a puppy online again EVER, and especially not from a breeder with all these separate complaints from people across the country. You are lucky, but foolish nonetheless for doing business with someone with such a horrendous reputation - it is their job to sell puppies, that is their game, and they've had many years to hone their craft. You also mention that you don't think they are bad breeders b/c they have been doing it so long that there would be more complaints. Once again - MARKETING and DAMAGE CONTROL is their JOB. Families have to move on with their lives with sick or live or dead puppies, CFK waits for the storm to pass, and then keep on breeding. Seriously has anyone seen a "FAQ" page that extensive, defensive, and pathetic? That alone should be testament enough to any intelligent prospective puppy buyer to STEER CLEAR. To all the less sharp tools in the shed, good luck with that.

"May 2010 I purchased a Boston Terrier puppy from Cypress Farm Kennel I was told the puppy would be shipped when she turned 8 weeks old . I picked the puppy up at Philadelphia International Airport I was shocked and sickened by the condition of this puppy . The puppy was dehydrated, sick and had Diarrhea all over her. She also had a eye infection with a corneal ulcer. A baggy with adult size food was taped to her little crate. When I rushed her to my Vet she only weighted a pound not normal for a 2 month old Boston, The puppy was so worm infested it took months and thousands of dollars to get it under control. Parasites pose a serious Health t to Humans especially children and Cypress Farm Kennel be investigated for shipping puppies across State lines that could make a child sick or blind."
THIS was an entirely separate puppy/owner/incident 6 months before my CFK puppy arrived and died of parvo (along with 2 other parvo littermates who survived).

The administrators on the following webites are either Krystin Johansen herself and/or other colored boston terrier breeders who censor any comments or posts that speak out against Cypress Farm Kennel's unethical behavior. BEWARE!!! The sources that I mistook for positive reviews are nothing more than additional false advertising from breeders!

I find the comment likening Cypress Farm to Wal-Mart as disrespectful and down right mean to those who own puppies from Cypress Farm Kennel. The person who said it, meant it to be degrading so I am taking it as such. I own a Cypress puppy and love him dearly. I actually found him through Puppyfind this last November which is odd considering that you said that "They can no longer advertise their dogs on PuppyFind." I did see my puppies ad as well as his litter mates advertised as well. If you are incorrect about that in your post this leads me to believe you are incorrect about other things as well. For instance, saying that a puppy was shipped without a health certificate. That is impossible per my understanding as the airlines require a health certificate for any puppy to fly and will not even accept them at the counter without it. If a puppy was shipped without it that is the airlines fault. I wonder what else posted above is incorrect.
I found the FAQs page of the Cypress Farm website http://cypressfarmkennel.com/frequentlyaskedquestions.html helpful because previous to reading the FAQs I did not know about the Parvo events. Their honesty to have it published on their website and their making sure that I read the FAQs page in it's entirety and was aware of the Parvo events before they would even accept a deposit from me was one of the reasons I decided to go with them. They could act like it never happened and let people find out on their own, but they chose to do the right thing by writing about it on their website and directing those to it to gain knowledge of the events before new puppy buyers can even purchase a puppy. That sure doesn't seem like a breeder trying to hide anything to me. That sounds like an honest, reputable breeder.
Thank goodness they are the WalMart of Colored Boston Terrier breeders because I wouldn't have been able to afford a puppy that was already BAER tested, pre-patella examined on top of being a well socialized, happy, healthy puppy in the color that I wanted. I was looking at having to pay $1200 or more for a puppy that was not even health tested but got my gorgeous boy for only $700. I could not be happier. I am truly sorry to hear about your poor experience but perhaps you should be more choosey with your words and not be so mean over something that was an accident and so apparent it wasn't their fault.
As far as you posting links to those sites claiming that Kristen is the admin. If she is, that speak mountains of good things about her. The BT Facebook page is such a wonderful source of knowledge for Colored Bostons. I have learned so much and met so many people that I have things in common with through that page. I was able to organize a meetup with some of those members. They have even raised a lot of money for Boston Terriers in need. That page doesn't allow any bad posting so of course they would censor you if you were posting anything like what you have here. The other places you pointed out are great too and again don't allow posting negative in nature so of course they wouldn't let you post this stuff on their pages. I don't know why you seem like you are surprised by that. That is not why the pages are there.
Hang in there Cypress Farm! We love you guys!

CFK ships parvovirus and parasitized sick puppies
CFK chose to post their new FAQ's in RESPONSE to the fact that myself and other sick puppy owners publicized their lack of professionalism in dealing with the illnesses and death of puppies that they shipped. Glad to hear you got a healthy puppy. Others have not. Please share the link to the Puppyfind advertisements you are referring to, because if there have been recent listings, all negative reviews should have been posted as well. There was no health GUARANTEE shipped with the puppies who had parvo. They were only shipped with bill of health/shot record from the vet that was a week (or more) old. There has never been any mention from CFK about the very sick, underweight puppy shipped to PA in 2010 who was so parasitized by worms that it was near death. That owner supposedly contracted worms while nursing this puppy back to health (with extensive veterinary treatment as well), and stated that CFK terminated all contact with them as well, never returning calls or emails. I would be very curious to see if CFK chooses to address this incident and complaint against them - as of yet, I have not seen anything from CFK addressing this sick puppy. Any accident can occur, and if it WAS clear (which it is not) that the parvo puppies were not infected while still in CFK's possession, then none of this would be happening. The reason that several CFK puppy owners are upset with CFK is due to their CUTTING OFF ALL CONTACT WITH FAMILIES WHO RECEIVED SICK PUPPIES. One would think, for all of their supposedly reputable breeder characteristics, that they would not ignore these families or sick and dying puppies that they claim to care so much about. Of course they are sweet and kind to their "CFK family" whose dogs are WELL and not sick or dead. Just a reminder CFK is a BUSINESS. They mention in the FAQ that they were reported to PETA, the ASPCA, animal control, the BBB etc... Why would they also not respond to the Better Business Bureau complaints filed against them if they had nothing to hide? Instead they waited nearly a year and post their (extremely jaded, manipulative, and FALSE) version of the events that transpired with the parvo puppy owners, in addition to their sob story fairy tale about a healthy puppy was that was not spayed and eventually returned to CFK - ultimately painting themselves as the victims. It was so horrific for them to think of poor "Phoe" not being spayed and potentially bred by some unscrupulous breeder, and being pawned off from one home/breeder to the next... yet as soon as they get her back, they breed her at 11 months old???!!! Oh, I'm sorry, perhaps 11.5 months. I'm sure after so much "trauma" she endured in her first year of life that was the BEST and most caring thing to do to the poor little puppy who finally made her way back to her "princess." LOL

Link to scanned vet records from 1/13/11 documenting positive parvovirus and coccidia, not very professional, but proof nonetheless - the same that was emailed to and received by CFK.

" That page doesn't allow any bad posting so of course they would censor you if you were posting anything like what you have here."
It would be horrible to tell the whole truth, right? From what is written here, there would be more negative than positive posts and that might hurt business.

Proof of LIES against puppy owners on CFK FAQ website
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/cypress-farm-kennel-c421638.html#1153124
May 2010 - Separate owner, separate litter, underweight, severe worms, corneal ulcer... CFK terminated all contact with owner after shipping sick puppy.
Krystin has yet to address anything related to shipping this sick puppy as well - just 6 months before the parvo issue. Am really curious about why there has been no mention or attempt by CFK to explain this separate incident (of the same unprofessional behavior I am speaking out against)...

Vet records documenting the proof of my puppy's positive parvo results within 48 hrs can be viewed on this site. Vet records from the owner of the severely parasitized puppy shipped in May 2010 are also visible to the public. CFK has yet to respond to the complaints posted by this DIFFERENT puppy owner that CFK terminated all contact with her as well (6 mo before doing the same with parvo puppy owners in Jan 2011).
Thank you for taking the time to look at the real documentation of CFK pet owners. The complaints posted on line have all been made by pet owners (not breeders) who have no ulterior motives than exposing the truth and warning the public.

Love my Cypress Farm puppy and am currently awaiting my second from them. I am so excited! Sorry you had such trouble with your puppy. I've found them to be nothing short of perfect in my experience. To each his own.
