"Vom Ultimate" in SC = relocated MA breeder Augusto Deoliveira/Griffin Shepherd Kennels - Page 1

He's apparently created yet another a new account using his new kennel name, and he's got at least one ad running at the moment. [His former user names were GSK, then "The ultimate German shepherd"]

Forewarned is forearmed--buyers, be informed. He may be switching up his lines, but he hasn't changed his character. For details, go to: "The Truth About GSK/Ultimate German Shepherds"

What an idiot!  

Thank you Hexe for posting this, don't know how he got by us as not many do. He has now been dealt with and is banned from this site as are his previous names.

Mr Darcy,  

If I can prevent even one more person from giving him their money and getting heartache due to the health problems of the dog they bought from him in return, it's well worth keeping an eye on him.

Sadly one of the members here has taken this con artist under their wing, which is how he's suddenly acquiring better-bred dogs, and has even shown in two USCA-sanctioned breed shows in the past 12 months after she invited him to attend training and introduced him to the sponsoring club.

The mentoring breeder claims they are going to get him to change & to improve his program--yet not long after being taken under said breeder's wing, Deoliveira sold off one of his home-bred adult males [who he had used for breeding several times, even after he knew the dog was dysplastic] to a buyer, without disclosing that the dog had failed to pass an OFA hip & elbow assessment. Now the new owner of the dog, who is a senior on a fixed income, has a young dog [4 yrs old] she loves but who cost her over $6000.00 in veterinary exams and treatments for pre-existing issues shortly after she purchased him.  

In addition to his usual shady business practices, he's also taken to serving as a broker for sales of dogs that are bred by others, and branched out into other breeds as well--"Doodle" mixes and Miniature Australian Shepherds have been offered for sale via his FB page in recent months. 

In short--Caveat emptor, especially when it comes to doing business with this individual.

 

I could only stand to watch a couple videos. I could have reached through my computer screen and....(better if I not type it)

Feel sorry for that senior - shame, shame on him.   His actions are despicable. As the sayings go:

That tiger did not change his spots..

You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.
 

I'm grateful for this post. I'm searching for a long coat German Shepherd puppy and responded to one of his ads. He replied to me he has puppies available so I started doing my research checking up on him/his facility/looking for recommendations. I didn't find anyone who recommended him. On the contrary, yours is one of several posts I've found citing his unethical treatment of dogs. I absolutely won't purchase a pet from someone like him.
Thank you again for helping to get the word out!

Good on ya Cltgrl for doing your research and due diligence. Wish more people would be as careful and NOT give this POS any business.

Head's up, as this weasel is preparing to move yet again...who knows where he'll land this time?
