The story is I think people just wanted her dogs like breeders and would make false claims and cause drama when the dogs were perfect too much money being taken from old breeders

Updated by user Jan 05, 2021

My family has wonderful pets with ZERO health issues ans wish we could get another puppy from Heidi and Beth I will ask around to see if that is possible

Do not buy from her

6/2009 I picked out a beautiful 2 week old puppy. she told me that his father was Tattoo and then right before I took him home, she told me that his father was Cosmo. Not a big deal but she clearly is not organized. Way too many breeding dogs in her home. Fast forward to 2005, cataract in left eye, then glaucoma. Recently, went blind in right eye overnight. blood pressure 220, doing a bunch of tests, I just called them to let them know it could be Cushing's disease. Jake is 10. He has had multiple problems for years. DO NOT BUY FROM HER!!!

I agree. She isn’t a quality breeder.

She allows the reproduction of bad genetics. I love my Chloe more than anything but medically it’s been a nightmare. She has severe Cushings disease and is now at the end of congestive heart failure. She is only 11.

Heidi is a money grubbing awful woman and the word breeder should never be used by her. My family is experiencing the most gut wrenching pain imaginable knowing how limited our time is.

Keep Heidi from ever breeding

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m in a similar boat.

Purchased my Chloe from her in 8/2010. She is the best shihtzu I’ve ever had and the sickest. She has horrible skin allergies and at 7 was diagnosed with Cushings disease. This is quite young for Cushings.

Now the adrenal tumors have grown and we are faced with a very difficult decision. High risk surgery with a potential not so good outcome or keep her as comfortable as possible for as long as we can. Heidi is disgusting. She sold me a puppy and told me that she was 8 weeks old but not to take her to a vet for at least 2 weeks because she would get in trouble.

Two days later, with round the clock care and supervision, she didn’t look so good so we rushed her to the vet. He was stunned to see how many parasites she had and told us she was approximately 5 weeks old. We believe something happened to the mother and this dispicable woman wanted to unload the puppy for $. Well, I was the sucker that came along but I refer to Chloe as our rescue dog.

We rescued her from Heidi.

But the bottom line is she didn’t have enough of her mother’s milk and therefore, has compromised immunity. I’m so heart broken and I will do anything just to have more time with her.

I’m commenting on my own review. I’ve never been so devastated in my life.

We lost Chloe to congestive heart failure 4 weeks ago at 11 1/2. I can’t even begin to describe the care she was given. No expense was spared. But we were robbed of many years because CHF is genetic.

So with all of her other illnesses this is the one that could have been prevented but for Heidi’s careless and sloppy breeding. This is the result of a breeder who cares only for money. Good quality breeders know the genetics of their breeding lines and don’t breed dogs with heart issues.

Shame on you Heidi. We are forever heartbroken

I was heidis credit card processor at Love My Dog in Merrick in 2017. She wanted the best credit card pos system she could get from me.

After i brought it in to her, she disappeared WITH the entire system a week later while her "supposed daughter" took over the business a d said she has no idea where she went. The pos co. charged ME $1900...

I want that money back from her. She is a thief and just pure trash in every way.

I own 5 shih tzu. My 7 year old was purchased from Heidi of Exotic Shih Tsu in April 2010 when she was about 13 weeks old.

She is my favorite of the 5. She also is extremely ill and after close to $10,000 of vet bills and more to come I want to let everyone who possibly purchased their baby from Heidi that due to her not testing her dogs before breeding them that she has passed on a deformed mutant gene that causes severe kidney problems. The test to insure that the deformed gene is present has been available since 2006

My heart breaks every minute of the day and I pray for a miracle. I've even considered a $30,000 plus kidney transplant, but the specialists have said the procedure is not perfected yet so they advise against.

A simple test...no reason you didn't test and screen these dogs before mating them. Now I have a broken heart and you're enjoying your Florida home...

Warning, She is breeding again!

Heidi is up and running! Beware she is at it again with the last name Firrello. Yes, she's married again and breeding Shih Tzu again under the same name Exotic Shih Tzu. Most likely she is living in the same home she lived at before where she bred and had a grooming salon. Buyer beware.She has nothing to remedy her problems. Her problems are being a liar, cheat and dishonest person. She never knows who the father of the litter is so you could be getting a pup that is a brother bred to a sister. She is all sweet to get the sale and after you have the puppy, you are on your own. She won't return calls. Don't waste your time on these overpriced puppies.

Exotic Shihtzu, or really its owner is a cheat!

In short, she never returned my money when after visiting her vet we learned they were sick. The puppies were returned immediately after visiting her vet. It was a lot of money lost. I took her to court. She did not show. The court found her guilty. DO NOT BUY FROM HER! I feel sorry for the puppies in her care. I hope they all get great homes. They deserve it after spending any time in her home. She always brought out the puppies to show. She never let me see their surroundings. Buyer be ware. She is a cheat. Yes, the puppies are cute but her business ethic is not!

Exotic Shihtzu is over, no more...........ended, she got divorced and moved to Naples, I dont have papers either but I have the best dogs ever, SO WHAT, im not breeding them so who cares. I dont know why she didnt send them but I did call and verify she was an akc breeder and Akc asked me for names and gave them the names of the parents and they said I will get papers and its only 20$ SO try calling them, it helps. THey said they will send her a letter and if she doesnt respond I will get papers in 90 days.

Well, then you are the first I hear to have such luck with this breeder. I have been forewarned by several people in just one month..from various parts of the US!

Hope they are all you hoped for and wish you good luck. Me? I would not never...PS good luck getting any papers as well.

I mean that sincerely.

Guest

"SHE" hasn't gone anywhere. This company and it's owner is still ripping off fellow breeders and customers alike.

There are plenty of reputable breeders out there to visit for a healthy pup. Please do not fall for this women's scam.

Do not be her next victim. :sigh

Sold sick dogs and no akc papers

Heide from exotic shuti used my home and good reputation to sell sick puppies and no AKC papers. She lied to people and took their money and then moved to Naples Florida. Her family is still doing business in Merrick under Pamper PAws using the good reputation of East Bay Vet . They board the dogs in a tiny tiny apartment withour permission from the comples owner. These poor animals are left without anyone to care for them. If you love your pet do not use Pamper Paws...I write from personal knowledge and am trying to help the animals. It has been a nightmare for my family to see what is being done to these poor animals just for money.

This is a lie! We met Barbra through a dog breeders site and were beyond happy with our puppy!

I'm so upset seeing this because it's a flat out lie. I have recommended all of my friends and family to use Barbra--she truly loves her dogs and cares about the home they go to. She stays in touch even after the puppies go home!

My pup is almost a year now--perfectly happy and gorgeous. She's been trained to be a service dog--for my son and has made such a difference in our lives.

Guest

She does inbred her dogs. I heard it myself.

When I purchased my dog, I heard a co-worker telling someone that the dogs are imbred.

I love my dog but if I new she does that, I would not have purchased the dog from her. I was lucky enough to get my papers.

Guest

I bought a pup from her . SHE DIED.I tried calling her.no answer.

When I first met her I thought she was kind of strange. I did make an attempt to locate her but to no avail. I do not know if she fled the country or what? I have read so many negative comments on her.

I should of known better when I first walked in her house. But I bought the pup. vet bills mounted and my pup died in the end. Vet told me she is probably inbreeding a lot of her dogs and poor quality.

It is over now for me. my pup is gone, if anyone is looking to buy a shihtzu, stay away from her but again who knows where she is. She sure is a strange character.And a cheat to boot, I paid 1500 dollars for that puppy.

:? :cry

First of all this is Barbara & Bob and we have lived in beautiful homes, and still do . all my friends know, and if anyone wants to see my homes they are on facebook, I don't pretend to own a home in Naples or a Porsche that has been gone for over 2 years.

I don't sell dogs out of my 2014 BMW. I am not like HEIDI MALASHCHUK, MCCARTNEY,EVANS, MASSBACH, FIRRELLO, who is now selling dogs out of a van and you will see it on her face book, as she is ashamed for people to know where she really RENTS , on 10th street...... Hicksville ny....And by the way my eyes??? I am not bald like Heidi,,,,, And she has to put her ropes in her head everyday....for other people who are reading this I don't normally attack but with a niece to attack me in this way I will come right back, I move around???

I own 2 homes and I don't pretend to own a home like you in Naples, why don't you tell people how your home in Seaford was forclosed on, and the Naples house was in pre forclosure,,,Unlike you the definition for DIRT BAG is people like you who run around selling dogs out of vans and awnings, Lets hope they don't repo this van like they did all your other cars, and next time your on chanel 12 news in the line up,, wave to everybody... :I don't think this is something to laugh about, so I am not going to add happy faces like you did Heidi.....Trust me Heidi I do sleep at night, your nothing to lose sleep over,

I am so tired of you for years and years, god dammit cant you get a life already. 3 husbands now,, *** you throw everyone to the curb.

Sold me 2 gorgeous shih tzu puppies but never sent papers also lied about estimated adult size

I came across Heidi's website in search of a new friend. I called and to my surprise she had the exact puppy I was looking for or so I thought... I was told that my chocolate shih tzu puppy was AKC registered and would grow to be no more than 6-7 pounds; for this she charged me $1700. As beautiful and fun spirited as my puppy was, she grew to be slightly over 11 pounds and I was never sent any AKC papers for the dog. Unfortunately about 9mo after I got her she was stolen out of my own backyard!! I was devastated! Although I had never received the AKC papers for my chocolate shih tzu I kept in contact with Heidi checking for the papers every 6 weeks or so; she kept up with excuses for why the papers were never sent, reassuring me that I would receive them soon (excuses were always someone else's fault from secretaries and book keepers to husbands, groomers u name it!!). I told her the horrifying news that my puppy had been stolen and she showed a great deal of compassion, offering me a new dog at $1000 ($700 off). She assured me that this puppy would definitely grow to be no bigger than 6-7 pounds and that not only would I be sure to receive the AKC papers for the second puppy; but that she would also see to it that the papers from the original purchased puppy would be sent along with the new ones. I was a little hesitant but I couldn't pass up the price so I agreed to purchase. I flew to NY picked up my second companion and flew back home. Bambie (the second puppy) was in great health and very playful. She's almost a yr old and is 6.7 pounds so Heidi kept her word in that regard. However I have yet to receive the AKC papers for either of the two puppies and Heidi doesn't return any of my phone calls.... the excuses stopped (finally) but so did the communication. I must say Heidi's dogs are cute as can be but I would never do business with her again. The old saying goes "You get what you pay for" and with Heidi this just doesn't hold to be true.

so believe what you want I do have proof of her scamming. and yes my puppy was very sick and died.

ur an ***

Guest

I did receive the papers for my puppy from Heidi. She is an awful person to deal with, but the puppy I purchased from her has just been amazing and the cutest little thing.

Guest

That's why I get my pups from a shelter. I save a lot of money and help a pup that needs someone.

Guest

Satisfied resolution for client. Our second puppy arrived May 2012, just like the first, 2 years ago via air from Grand River Poodles in Ohio, owner Roberta Katona.

The new puppy is very socialized, full of personality and a happy healthy puppy. There was no issue or complaint with the puppy herself. The issue arose surrounding a misunderstanding regarding obtaining AKC papers for a puppy purchased as a pet.

Our money has been returned to us, and seller and buyer are satisfied. We no longer have the puppy.

Guest

That looks to be the never ending story. I too got scammed but by a poodle breeder.

She was selling her Puppy for $1,300 no papers and $1,500 akc limited papers. She sent me the puppy and no papers. Since then we have made complaints to the Ohio state attorney and the BBB. She has made promises to send the papers but then minutes after changes her mind.

We even have a notarized paper from her saying she will send us the papers and still less than 2 hours changes her mind again. We have been on an emotional roller coaster. Her name is Roberta Katona from Grand River Poodles in Perry, OH.

Www.grandriverpoodles.com

My advise to you is to fight it to the end. Post in forums your experience and let everybody know about her so that she can't hurt anybody else.

Guest

We bought two shih-tzu's from Heidi, almost $3000, one chocolate, that is now "tan", but they are great dogs !! I couldn't imagine not having them.

She is s terrible business person and person in general.

I never recv'd papers either, never will, but I have my two dogs whom I love very much. Karma will get her.

Guest

This is so true! We bought two shih tzus and never received papers either! She is a terrible person!

Best Puppy I ever owned

My puppy purchased Sept 11, 2011 is the best dog I ever owned. I have read all these reports good and bad, and it looks more like personal attacks then her puppies. Her house is clean and my puppy is by far the CUTEST shihtzu I have ever seen. I just received my Akc papers last month and all is well. Susie is a chocolate shihtzu that has green eyes and a face that stops people on the street to admire her. I live in NYC and its so intersting to see how many people love shihtzus. Anna NYC/NY

I have a wonderful Heidi puppy, but reading these comments makes me think back on my experience with her differently. It was obvious at the time that something was "off" about Heidi, but I just wanted my puppy so I didn't care. Thank God my little pup (3 years now!) is healthy, but my heart truly goes out to everyone who has had problems :(.

Guest

Happy and sick of the b/s on this site

This site is the bathroom wall ........... No one ever puts their real name and if they put a name its usally a b/s name. Or some disfuntional person. If you got something to say in court .... other wise shut the ***k up. My dog is awesome, I dont care what Heidi's personality is, she just has the cutest shihtzu's out there. If you have a problem go to court, grow up and act like a real person, not just some as.whole that has a big mouth, and is crying about money. If you didnt like HER then you should have gone somewhere else. I paid 1800. and have a healthy happy puppy, and I would buy from her again, even if she had a big mouth with she doesnt. This site seems to be for the low class loud mouths! Next time go to the shelter and pay 750 for the apotion fee's.

Who in God's name pays $770.00 for adoption fees...Da! I think the apple fell on your head.

A word or two to those who had purchased puppies. You really should have done your homework when purchasing a specific breed. There are so many organizations out there willing to help you. Heidi is worse than an apartment breeder.

Just look at how many places she has lived in the past several years. She had a Grooming Shop (Love my Dog) in Merrick, NY with her daughter Chrissie. She was selling Shihtzu's out of there in addition to regular business. The landlord just threw her out and locked the place up.

Couldn't pay her rent.

Sound familiar?? I really feel bad for all of you including the dogs who we consider part of our family!

Guest

Can't wait to see this episode of Judge Judy

Guest

Ms. Deb of Lincoln Park, NJ...

You paid 1800 for a Heidi puppy. Talk about getting ripped off!!! You overpaid. No, I'm not a family member of Heidi's .

I'm only someone who purchased a puppy from her and sensed something wasn't right with her.

Guest

Also my sister went into use the bathroom and she said the house was disgusting!!!! She was late to meet us (she had to stop at wendy's)and her ex-husband was waiting outside for us.

He gave us an earful. Unprofessional, dishonest people. I was also told adult dog was paper trained. What a lark.

She'd sooner read the paper than *** on it. They had worms also. But I am happy to say, both have made wonderful progress.

Haylee is housebroken as well as the baby. They really are very sweet and cuddley despite the wacho place they came from.

Guest

I also "adopted" an adult dog from Heidi as well as a 7 week old pup. She promised papers for both.

When asked about papers later on for adult dog, she said I never give papers on adults. Different from what she initially said. Also she told me dog was 2, as per vet dog about 5. I purchased a 7 week old pup also.

Still waiting on papers several months later. She does not respond to calls.

email is disabled. What is going on.

Guest

she answers no calls my puppy is sick i cant get hold of her i will find her and her *** will be in court.i promise you heidee your not getting away with this you never answer phone calls BECAUSE you know its all the people with sick puppies from you,i am going to follow this through also never got akc papers.akc can do nothing for me its up to breeder to supply them

She sold me a sick puppy that was never healthy.

I purchased an exotic shihtzu puupy from Heidi 5 years ago. He was very sick for a whole year it cost me 2000 dollars to get him well. He is always tired acts very strange, and is not normal. We love him though We could not bring him back.I called her the day after I got him and said hes throwing up and I dont feel comfortable taking him and she said it was too late to bring him b ack. He was suppose to be 12 pounds hes 22. I told her hes 22 pounds and she says I dont breed 22 pound Shihtzus. Well then who did? Me? I think she has split personalitys. She can act normal and then get very nasty and arrogant for no reason. When I read about her on this web site I was so happy to see you can tell your story. Its all true what people say Ive lived it too!

This is the most awesome breeder out there making a diffence, JUDGE for your self people making up these lies and slander have a motive, and I have two puppies from exotic shihtzu and the are just gorgeous. I meet the nanny that takes care of the puppies and the home was pretty and clean. I got a vet reference from East Bay Vet Hospital in Merrick and they stand up for these puppies and said the have never seen better shihtzus. As for my dogs I wish I could have four but two is the limit for my home, but trust me if I could get another I would only get an exotic shihtzu puppy LOOK NO FURTHER, exotic shihtzu puppies are the nicest and prettiest dogs I have ever seen.

This is all ***,

Exotic Shihtzu and their staff are wonderful. I have 3 shihtzu's from Heidi and and I would and have referred her daily. People say wow where did you get that dog from and from speaking with other people that have her dogs I had to post this to say find something better to do than slander someone that makes the breed what it should be and has a heart for her dogs and a VERY VERY clean house. The best of the best is what Exotic Shihtzu is. So lets end this saga of slander and call up New York State and get a real referral. Go to her house and pick out your dog for your self I will bet you will not just buy one but three just like me. Best Wishes Julia

Heidi is a liar, I still have no papers for my dog

We brought our puppy from her when was 4 weeks old. I was suppose to pick up the puppy when he was 8 weeks old. We would visit the dog once a week and noticed the dog pen had a mat and it was covered in *** and *** I called her about this and she claimed that they do not use a mat and if they did it was washed everyday. She told me she doesnt push dogs out, but I get a phone call to pick up the dog when he was 6 weeks old. She is not so bright because she contradicts herself all the time. By the way, the dog was sick when I brought him home and had to be taken to vet. I asked for the papers for our dog and till this day no papers for our dog. She is a liar and a cheat there is no love for those puppies. It's all about the money. Sad but so true after reading everyones comments.

I have THE CUTEST puppy from exotic shih tzu- the dog is happy and healthy. HOWEVER- the pup was never taken to the vet before I brought her home (as promised) and Heidi and her staff "could not find her papers." So while I am thrilled with my adorable dog I would recommend you don't buy a dog from her until you know for sure its been seen by a vet and has the appropriate papers.

Guest

All I can say after buying two sick puppies from her is BEWARE!!!!!Exotic Shitzu is nothing but a PUPPY MILL!!!Heidi is money hungry,and will look you in your face and will lie to you like she did to us.I wonder if she can sleep at night.The two women that write on this site are her friends who split the money with her.Of course they are going to say great things about her.If you bought a healthy puppy or puppies from her then you are a luck person. Wish I was warned before I fell in love with my puppies. :cry

Guest

Puppy mill is all I can say.. her dogs are as dirty as she is.

rotten teeth *** down to her knees put a bra on skank... u push mothers that lost their pups out of the house the day they died still bleeding.

You are nothing but a peice if *** and so are your dogs. Go to ***!!!

Guest

She is a LIAR,and an animal abuser,not lover.Her business is nothing but an abusive puppy mill!!! Beware :cry

Guest

has anyone asked whether heidi will let you bring a puppy to your own vet to be looked over, which you will pay for yourself, after which the sale will go thru?

Guest

I was told that Exotic Shihtzu PASSED their inspection but need to have ONLY their paperwork redone, so who ever is out to get Exotic Shihtzu needs to get the facts straight. New York state said everything ws clean and very well taken care of, people just have to but up *** to stir the pot.

Stir it somewhere were people beleive you.

My two dogs are from Heidi and they are the cutest things ever and I never had a problem and met at least ten other people that have her dogs in the last two years. BEST SHIHTZU BREEDER out there, dont miss out on one of her puppies they are the BEST!

Your article was written on 10-22-2010

On 10-"20"-2010 this breeder FAILED an unannounced Inspection by the NYS Department of Agriculture - Pet Dealers Division.

That report is obtainable under FOIL on their Website...

AKC does NOT endorse any Breeder..call them yourself.. We Did...

Our dog is documented by a Licensed Vet as being Unfit for Sale..

I have an exotic shih tzu and she is wonderful. I've visited Heidi's home several times during the process and the home is clean.

I got to see where the puppies were being kept too and that was perfectly clean. Yes, there were weewee pads in the playpens and duh...the mother or babies do their business on the wee-wee pads, but isn't that normal? They also seemed very focused on cleanliness. New towels, cleaning up any messes, puppies that smelled lovely.

I got papers when I got to take my dog home and she is AKC registered. While I do think she probably has more litters than other breeders and she has a bit of an interesting personality, I did not see her doing anything sketchy.

Shihtzu heaven

Can these people ever stop being ***, one needs to read all of this *** to see that Exotic Shihtzu is then victim of an ***. I met Heidi three years ago and waited six months before buying a puppy and I shopped around and you know what, her dogs were the cleanest and most beautiful with calm, playful temperments. Exotic Shihtzu has the best shihtzu puppies ever. She is picks her clients carfully and makes sure people can afford to take care of the puppies for thier lifetime. My puppy two years ago was taped to be on ANIMAL PLANET, and i doubt they would choose her if she was a mill! Puppy mill my ***. Shihtzu Heaven,is more like it, and I am getting another puppy in September. My VET raves about my dog, and so do I. WE love you Heidi and keep doing the great job you always do.
