Brook Roque is the cruelest person I've ever come across. We bought a puppy from him who had parvo. She started coughing the day we brought her home, and it only took 5 days before she had to be hospitalized at the vet. It was the most horrible experience we've ever been through. After $2200 in vet bills, she didn't make it. Brook didn't even care and wouldn't respond to phone calls or emails. Our vet verified that the puppy was not given the proper vaccines as Brook had claimed. If he had just given her a shot that costs less than $3, she never would have gotten parvo in the first place. It's unbelievable. We tried to take him to court to get our money back, but all we did was waste another $1000 in lawyer fees before realizing it would cost more money to fight him than we would get back. He also gave us fake AKC papers, and the pictures of the "parents" that he showed us were not even his own dogs. He just stole pictures from the internet. Not to mention, our puppy had a number tattooed in her ear, which meant she was imported. He had claimed he bred the puppies himself. This guy has to be shut down somehow. He told us he sells hundreds of puppies each year. The parvo virus lives on surfaces for years, so if he isn't giving vaccines that means that every puppy that he sells will most likely get parvo and die. He just keeps getting away with it though because it's so hard and so expensive to fight against him. I wish there was more we could do... I even contacted a few bulldog rescues for advice but they pretty much said there isn't anything that can be done. It's so sad....
