People ask me all the time: 'where did you get your dog?'. She is extremely sweet and cute. My dog Chloe, who is a second child to me was born with seizures and a livershunt. To Date, she is 6yr old, Chloe was sold to me by a Anna Bernadani Pet store- She is always changing the shops name, I think it is called Maltipoos and More now.
Chloe was born with a Liver shunt, that is a congenital defect. Chloe's has days were she has pain. She has had scans and biopsies, totalling $5,000. Then finally we obtained her diagnoses. For 5yrs she has been on 3 different medications, 2 to 3 times a day. Most the time she has to be fed by a syringe. Many vets/emergency clinics milked my situation for every penny we had. The only Vet that has been our Angel is Doctor Steve Liebal at Hermosa Animal Hospital on the City of Hermosa Beach, CA. He immediately knew what was wrong, charged fairly for the biopsy and test and gave me free samples of meds when he could. God Bless him.
As it turns out there is a large community in Southern California that has banned together to try to stop Anna Bernadani, including SEACCA.
Many of us had purchased puppy's from Anna Bernadani. Turns out, She has a list of violations a mile long, from docking tails without a license to selling puppy's with parvo, and congenital defects such as bad livers. She runs a glorified puppy grooming and dog retail store, but looks are very deceiving. A couple years there was a CBS story done on her named: "Selling Sick Pets?" (CBS2 undercover investigation)
You can find many articles about her on the Internet, she has been in and out of court, charged with multiple counts and yet again "HER BUSINESS IS STILL THRIVING". I have included some more info about her, just in case anyone is interested.
The experiences told in these Ripoff Reports are not very different from what I dealt with:

"NORWALK PET STORE RAIDED - 2ND TIME IN TWO YEARS" (SEAACA):

There is a lot more about Anna that you can find online. She has operated under many names:
-Anna Berardini
-Anna Beradini
-Anna Bernadini
-Anna Gabriel
-Anna's Pet Grooming
-Norwalk Pet Grooming
-California Cockapoos
-Cockapoo Connection
-MaltiPoos and More
Furthermore, its not just Anna Bernadini who is selling sick puppies. Unfortunately, its everywhere. We had purchased a dog in a mall store a few years back. The poor guy had a Kennel Cough and was really sick, he never did get better. AND WE DIDN'T write about him on the Internet.
What I would like to stress is that anyone looking for a dog should really do there homework on its background. Not just superficially either.
