Griffin shepherd kennels - what do you know? - Page 2

Oh, that must be the pictures I saw posted then. I have not purchased a dog from him nor know anyone who has so I don't really have any first hand knowledge.

Keith, they're on his facebook page. He removed one video. Then posted another of an older male fighting with a younger male, who was very submissive (felt bad for that dog's confidence), and he just stands there and lets this happen a few times in the video. If the younger dog tries to move away the older dog jumps him. Then there's one of his bitches fighting, and he tries to pull them apart. It was an "alpha" bitch and a bitch that had recently had pups; had about 5 or 6 running around together. They got into it several times, and another one was trying to jump in. He said authorities had been out there several times and saw no problems. Feel bad for the dogs. Why video tape your dogs fighting instead of intervening? 

Having witnessed a number of scraps between dogs who live

together, in my time, I can think of some circumstances regarding

the individual dogs who I might both stand back from, and video;

but this would be entirely for my own education !  [So I could slo-mo

it later and see who started what, etc.]   I certainly would not put it on

the internet for public consumption.  Or use it to sell dogs/pups.

What a sick bastard, can't we call animal control on this idiot?? 

Nans,

The more people that step up the better chance there would be for that. Unfortunately, he makes all of his clients sign a confidentiality clause to not discuss issues.

..so... pretty safe bet to eh, run and run far far away?

Sure doesn't sound like a "breeder" i'd want to deal with. Confidentiality clause, sounds just charming.

Its a little unfair for you guys to slam this dude when he's not here to defend himself. I'm sure you'd all hope that nobody did that to your program when they really didnt know much about it or have a puppy from you. I'm not a fan of this guy and know very little about him, but to tarnish the name of someone you don't know online and isn't present to defend themselves is just wrong. It makes you guys look like bullies. He's yet to rip anybody off from my understanding and he appears to have a good number of supporters. Seriously, I'd keep it to a minimum unless you have hard proof otherwise it just makes YOU look bad.  None of the information so far seems solid enough to me to warrant damaging someone's image over the internet, it all sounds like hearsay.

I just wrote a very long, detailed post explaining this man's lies but my phone refreshed :/

Bottom line Dani, he is a liar and a charlatan and needs to be exposed. There are facts available supporting this statement. His manipulation of his fan base and his taking advantage of puppy buyers in our breed needs to stop. 

One fact I will rewrite is his misrepresentation of Griffin, his stud dog, that he uses on all of his bitches. There are ads with him advertising Griffin as a V rated import with a schH title when in reality his stud dog is domestically whelped having no rating or titles. Griffin also has no OFA ratings although he makes claims to the contrary to his followers. 

As as a GSD fancier I am infuriated by this man and disgusted by his actions. His lies, deceptions and behavior reflect on my breed as well as all of us involved in the GSD community. 

Screw his "image."

danicalifornia55,

He is a member of this board and can come on here at any time to defend his breeding practices. There is also proof of the severe genetic issues he has bred. ;)

He has all his stuff 'out there', Facebook, YouTube, etc., etc.,

    To me, when you open the door to the public, your inviting comment....
