I sent a $500 deposit for a malinois puppy 5 mo ago, I scheduled a flight to go pick up the puppy, When I arrived by plane and got out of the airport I had received a voice mail from him stating to call him quickly. When I called he said there had been a bad situation break out and that the puppies are very sick with salmonella poising and at that point 3 had already died including my puppy.
I was nice about it and believed it was a bad accident caused by the food, and thought maybe it wasn't his fault. He said he would get me a puppy from a better litter coming up. after a few months go by I never heard from him again and he has still yet to get me my $500 refund back to me. I'm telling yea some shady stuff going on with this outfit.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

We are have a hard time getting any return calls or emails for them. We too have placed a deposit in a puppy
Eric Winstead is a total scam artist. Plain and simple. I sent him $1200 for a dog, and all I've gotten in return is attitude and excuses as to why he can't ship. If you question him, he gets extremely defensive. If you too have been ripped off by Eric Winstead at Aboslute K-9 services, contact me at brenn.miller at gmail. I'm happy to add you to the lawsuit.
I have bought 2 dogs from eric and iv never had a single problem...I even traded one bc it wasn't the kind of dog I needed...he gave me no problems at all...I drove from oklahoma all the way to him...and we spent the day out there...he took us to lunch and all. I can always call or txt him if I have any questions or problems. ...I think he's a great breeder and stands behind his dogs...
Good for you. You are supporting a criminal who pretend’s to be a navy seal who was given the Medal of Honor by president Bush. He never served in the military and had been arrested for animal cruelty, and child abuse.
Great Jessica I'm really glad your experience was a his one. I wish mine was as well as I'm sure the othersame that has not as well. As soon as I asked about the ckc numbers I lost his interest. You can provide pedigree info with limitations as akc does. His reasoning is because he doesn't want me to breed. Ok then just give me pedigree with no breeding rights. But all we all have received is attitudes. Mind you jessica, we all tried to deal with this guy nicely, his avoidance is what created the complaints. Good luck with your dogs.I wish you well.
I also sent Eric $1500 to ship a puppy to Seattle WA. Puppy did not arrive. Eric stopped answering my calls and returning my emails.
We had a very good experience with Eric. We received dog exactly as planned. She is gorgeous and suits our family. We couldn't be happier with our dog or the service.
Eric has some issues with telling the truth. He was recently outed as claiming to be a former Navy SEAL by Don Shipley (a real retired SCPO and SEAL) and claiming to have the Medal of Honor and other awards. None of it is true, and Don verified it with a FOIA request and searching through confidential databases. If Eric owes you money, I suggest you try to get it now, because the MOH claim is a felony all by itself... And people ARE looking to making sure he doesn't commit Stolen Valor again.
He is also a fake Navy Seal.

I came here to warn you all about Eric Winstead, in the same manner as Frito Pepperoni did in his comment.
My friend got a dog from Eric in 2012, beautiful girl. Had an ops breeding in 20q4 and produced amazing puppies which I have one of. All are amazing athletes and of great temperament as their mother was. 🤷♀️
Well, now that you know Eric steals valor from Navy SEALs and Medal of Honor recipients, do you think your characterization of your friend's dog dealings with Eric Winstead merits anything of value here on this review page? Do you realize that Eric has been caught? Stolen Valor.
I had some issues with him also when I left a deposit for 2 dogs. He claimed that the dogs ate wood chips and that I had to pay for the bill since they were my puppies. I took him to court on this issue. I never received the dogs or my money.
I received a male from Eric six years ago. Like all breeders of quality dogs it's mine-mine-mine, they don't want anyone else to compete with their living by breeding. My m
ale mal. is a monster, got him cut recently; because he is now a pet. Actually didn't slow him down much . If it's more important to have a good dog; and breeding is secondary, buy a dog from him. It sounds like try to.
The lie of him being connected in anyway to the Navy Seal's, has unknowingly been dangerous for him. I coincidentally during my purchase time had someone connected to the teams on active duty, and was a private contractor for time until he got too broken. Had him checked out. I had the privilege to call another friend the old Sgt. Major of 5th Special forces that had an untimely death this last year. I knew a small glimpse of the price he paid for us. Stolen glory is evil thing to do, and it seems is dangerous for the idiot's.
He’s a criminal who has been pretending to be a navy seal for year’s. He’s never served single day in the military. He’s charged with animal cruelty, child abuse and fraud. Anyone who supports him and his business also supports a pos who steals valor from real Navy SEALs who were killed while serving.
