Team Di Casa Ortiz - Page 1

I recently read a buyer beware post about this breeder and her team, and I don't believe she was given right representation of her kennel and their team name. Elena is a wonderful person, I purchased both puppies site unseen due to my location. I was not disappointed! She is resourceful, willing to share he knowledge and advice. My only regret is she lives to far away, I wish I could train with her and her team. 

You can't make everyone happy, and if you pay money up front without a contract I think it's a debate of he said she said. There is always your story their story, and then the truth. 

I have two beautiful dogs from this breeder. One of our puppies Sires took #1 in the world. I have a male and a female who both turn heads when we walk them side by side. No German Shepherd in our area can compete to Elena's dogs. I purchased both puppies for a lot of money more then $2,500 because I purchased breeding rights. Some would argue this is to much. Why did I pay this much? Because, I knew I was paying for the best. Free will? I didn't have to pay her fee(s), I chose to pay her fee(s) because i wanted the best. 

I got both my puppy papers. I have never showed them, as much as I would love too we don't have the support where we are located to do so. I paid for shipping and the puppy (no team member paid for my shipping fees). We were asked to show our dogs, but not required too, and we never had anyone withhold our papers. The only thing we were required to do by Elena was put her kennel and team name on our puppies papers. We don't have to, as it was a verbal agreement and AKC only recognizes the blaken out box on the papers. but we honored her request out of integrity we would love to do business with this breeder and her team again. 

We spent hours on the phone talking with this breeder, she answered all our questions and concerns and kept us updated on our puppy. She became a supporter and a friend to my husband and I who are green feet just learning the ropes. I don't feel like I was ripped off. I'm pretty happy with my investment.
