Call 6 For Help

New complaints have been made against a Cloverdale-area puppy breeding business that had been sued by the state, Call 6 for Help's Rafael Sanchez reported Friday.

A few Indiana residents now accuse the business -- which makes sales on the Internet and goes by AKA Kennel and several other names -- of selling sick puppies. One complainant said a puppy died after delivery.

Earlier this month, the business signed a settlement with the state attorney general after 14 out-of-state customers complained that they didn't receive any animals after making payment or that they received sick puppies.

After the first round of complaints, the owner, Tammy Gilchrist, told the state she would comply with consumer protection laws.

Officials said Gilchrist operates the business under several aliases -- such as Tammy Workman and Tammy Killea -- and business names -- such as Puppysrus.com, TEKS Kennel and Affordable Pups.

An attorney for Gilchrist attributed the complaints to miscommunication. The attorney said Gilchrist was not involved in misconduct.
