Horrible death of my soul dogs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Dec 11, 2023

These reviews are ALL TRUE. We got 2 dogs from her about a 2 years apart.

The first was my baby Jelly who not only had horrible mange, but ended up passing away in my little brothers arms when she was only 3 years old due to kidney failure. Heart breaking. I felt grateful to have Puddin who was still a puppy at the time and was my soul dog. She had skin issues as well with allergic reactions, and bad ear infections.

She ended up passing away this week from kidney failure due to Shar pei fever which is a genetic condition passed down from the parents. She was completely normal one day, and two days later we had to make the heart breaking decision to let her go. When shes states I provide a health guarantee for my dogs it is nothing more than a claim.

She never provided documents of genetic testing for conditions such as this and I was not educated enough at the time to know better nor did I do enough research on Barbara. Her business is nothing more than a money grab at the demise of these poor precious babies.

My best friend

4 years ago in this month I bought a puppy from Barbara. He is my very best friend, throughout his life he has been absolutely spoiled and loved beyond what I knew was even possible.

To say he made my life complete is an understatement. But I was promised that this innocent baby would never suffer from Sharpei fever because of his clean blood lines and they had bred the disease out. Come to find out that this is not even possible to do last year when he was finally diagnosed, we were told this week that his kidneys are failing as a result of this and to say our goodbyes. Shame on you Barbara Dion.

These sweet creatures deserve so much better. I hope you rot in ***

Purchased puppy with genetic soft palate deformity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We purchased a puppy from Barbara Dion approximately 1 year ago. First, the puppys eyes were not tacked properly which resulted in two more tackings and then entropian surgery. Then, the puppy began throwing up and consistently snoring even when awake. He had a soft palate deformity that is passed down through dogs genetically and we had to have his nose, throat and soft palate completely reconstructed. When I attempted to discuss these issues and the incredible vet bills that have surmounted for us, Barbara Dion would not assume responsibility in any way. Sin

Best Shar pei ever!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I'm not sure why everyone is putting these horrible reviews up here. But I bought a beautiful Shar-Pei about a year and a half ago. And have not had to take her to the vet at all. She is healthy and happy and FULL of wrinkles. Which is what I wanted. I definitely recommend her dogs, and stand behind her. She even allowed me to come in her home to see all the dogs.

Do not purchase

Barbara needs to educate herself and DNA test her dogs for SPAID before she continues to breed. I purchased a pup from her several years ago. She is gorgeous and as sweet as can be, but she has had numerous health issues. She has SPAID (the disease of which one aspect is shar pei fever). She had a kidney removed six months ago due to a congenital malformation. She is not doing well with the remaining kidney and is in kidney failure (due to damage from SPAID). We have spent over $10k in vet bills this year alone, and her prognosis is still questionable day to day. I told Barbara years ago that our pup was diagnosed with SPAID and was experiencing fevers. Though she previously responded quickly to updates and cute pictures, she stopped responding at all once I brought up the health issues. I understand owning a shar pei unfortunately comes with some risk of SPAID. However, a responsible breeder would know the genetic risk factor for each dog and breed or not breed accordingly. And a responsible breeder certainly wouldnt ignore reports of SPAID and discontinue all contact once the issue is raised.

I have never sold a dog to anyone named Anon Bry (reviewer). I have not had any SPAID in my bloodlines or congenital defects to my knowledge in my dogs.

I have been a very responsible breeder for the past 35 years and stand behind every dog that I sell.

I was just named one of the "Top 10" Breeders in the U.S. for Shar-pei for 2021.

Because you turn them out left right and centre doesn’t make you a good breeder. And selling puppies sired by one dog and registered to another is illegal and the AKC should be told to stop you doing it again, and the person you sold the puppy for.

Barbara Dion is a terrible person

Me and my husband bought a dog from Barbara Dion let me warn you she is crazy she began sending pictures of her *** to my husband and after we told her to stop she kept sending pictures of her ugly *** I replied back to her and told her no one would want someone who looks like a man and then she got a very nasty attitude I told her that's why she's all alone and does not keep friends

What kind of ranting lunatic wrote this so called review? It has nothing to do with dogs - I don't even know who this anonymous person is?

There are a lot of sick people out there with nothing to do but write lies to try to discredit honest breeders. Not one shred of truth in this review/post - can't even figure out what they are talking about?????

The low down on Barbara Dion owner of Beaux Art's Chinese Shar Pei's

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

You will not believe what this woman has done to me and my wife!

I first contacted Barbara about purchasing a Shar pei puppy from her. And we managed to strike a convincing agreement wich had me come to her home to make payment and retrieve my puppy. Upon my arrival i was greeted at the door with a smile. Entering the home you wont believe what i witnessed ....

Her home was clean. Well lived in for having all her dogs live inside with her but never the less (clean). I had expected to see cages but to my surprise there were non. Her dogs were actually quite pleasant for having a stranger in their environment. They were healthy playful and great as a team. "Then the real crazy business begin to unfold!" She was polite, well informed and very knowledgeable. "I was thinking this lady must be off her rocker" i mean, how dare she to share her 34+ years of experience with me.... She showed me all her dogs pedigree's and health stats from her vet (and then she did the unthinkable) she gave me his phone # so i could call and enquire about the health of my pup's parents. We immediately bought a second pup from her that day... and set a contract for 2 more puppies and then 3 more to fallow after that and 1 final pup to complete our family. I didnt buy from a puppy mill. I brought well behaved, potty trained happy healthy puppies from a woman that has a standard wich is (for the love of the breed) simple as that. Barbara is kind and honest. She doesn't hide anything. She would rather you knew the facts before you make a well informed decision simple as that... (Recap) what has Barbara done to me and my wife you may ask? She made us more understanding of the breed and showed us that her dogs do have excelent health and her bloodlines are among the best in the shar pei community. Great temperment and above all, not 1 of our dogs purchased from her has any health issues what so ever!

Shame on you all you anonymous post people...

Our names are Jason & Dawn Caiazza Owners of D&J's Wrinkle Ranch and we gladly endorse Barbara Dion Owner of Beaux Art's Chinese Shar Pei's

WHO PUT REVIEWS UP EVERY MONTH TO TRY TO DISCREDIT ME....THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR LIVES....CHILDISH COMMENTS THAT "I" AM INBRED.....WHAT ARE YOU IN KINDERGARDEN???

Extremely Untrustworthy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have a 4 year old Shar-Pei that i bought from Barbara Dion when he was about 6 months old. He is the love of my life. But we have gone through every hereditary/genetic illness possible with him. These dogs are supposed to be in "excellent health", "perfect bloodlines" etc. But after going through Demodectic Mange, Sharpei Fever, MULTIPLE and ONGOING skin issues, we realized my handsome boy had come from a puppy mill. Upon receiving him, he had scratches on his face to which she explained were from "play fighting" with her other puppies. He had a lesion on his front paw that she said she had snipped off a wart. He had a spiky bump in his mouth which had to be surgically removed. It was caused by diseased dogs sharing drinking water. Initially I contacted her about his issues, but when she told me to take a pair of manicure scissors and cut the spiky bump out of his mouth, then just apply peroxide, I haven't spoken with her since. This breed is so special. Teddy is my heart, he is so sweet, cute, silly. But Barbara Dion is not genuine, and I do believe she gets the poor puppies from a puppy mill. She is clearly only seeing $$ signs. Sad and pathetic.

My name is BRIANNE LAMBERT. I bought a puppy that was called "Red Hot Lover" on your site.

I drove 4 hours to meet you and pick him up. EVERY. SINGLE. WORD.

IS. TRUE.

Your dogs are not from excellent bloodlines. You should not be allowed to sell these innocent puppies.

Guest

There is not a shred of truth in this review. They mark it Anonymous because it is all lies.

My dogs are excellent healthy bloodlines. Many of the Beaux-Art dogs are going on 14-15 years of age.

Perfect pei

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Winston is our 7th pei and, without a doubt, the highest quality we have ever had. Beautiful eyes, coat and skin. He is a gorgeous representation of the breed. Barbara lives for her dogs. Every one of her dogs is healthy and happy. If she still has peis when we are ready for #8, we will be contacting her.

I've owned two Shar-pei from two different breeders here's an honest review.

We've now had our handsome Shar-pei (Hudson) for four years now from Ms. Barbara.

The vet(s)- we relocated- both advised Hudson was the best and healthiest looking Shar-pei they've ever seen. This is my second Shar-pei. The first I purchased in Tennessee and had kidney failure. I was told the food did it, and I was also told the breeder was the problem.

Ms Dion invited us to her house to meet the dogs and to pick up Hudson. The TN breeder wouldn't allow me to their residence. They met me at a service station, brought the mother dog, and 9 puppies. Their legs were bowed in front and she advised it's because the mom had so many there wasn't much room and the front legs would eventually straighten out.

My vet advised it was from the mother being malnourished then a few months later diagnosed with Elbow Dysplasia. I vetted my breeder thoroughly the second time. I got references. Ms Dion keeps her FB current.

The Pei families all post pics of updates. I am friends with Hudson's sisters mom. The lies on this feed are truly disturbing. Just read about the puppy mill in TN.

I'm not sure I got Fasa from them, but it sounds like they may be the breeder of my first pei.

Regardless, I loved him despite his health issues and my heart still aches because I miss him. We've had no issue with Hudson- NONE.

I have had nothing but wonderful dealings with Barbara we got our sweet Jasmine flowered Shar Pei from her over 2 years ago. Best decision we have made because our jazzy is one great addition to our family. My family always looks forward to visiting her. We have visited with Barbara several times since and are so looking forward to getting our next Shar Pei in a few months. A plus dogs and A plus in all aspects with Beaux Art. Keep up the good work
