BEWARE!! German Shepherd Security/ Abbas German Shepherds in Au Gres MI is a SCAM - Page 2

No, Steve, but I have the number you passed along from that lady. I haven't had a chance to call her but I plan to do so very soon.
Thanks

So - dying to know Kafen. How did your legal action go? Has she paid you back? You may also wish to send all of your information to your state's attorney general. Given what she does, I imagine she has committed fraud on many other fronts also. Also to your local district attorney - file a police report for theft and fraud.

PLEASE don't be discouraged from getting a wonderful german shepherd. Use the good trainer you found to help you find a responsible professional breeder and to help you select the proper breeding pair and puppy. And even if you find a responsible breeder, always get everything in writing in a contract before you give them a penny. Sadly, you now know what needs to be in the contract. Many breeders have links to their own contracts right on their websites, so you can also download them and write up your own contract with terms favorable to YOU.
Good luck!

In order to avoid court, Peggy agreed to give me a puppy from the dam in Virginia or our refund back by Christmas, whichever she could make happen first. Even though I knew this litter wouldn't be the right match for us, I agreed to this in hopes of avoiding court since it was the holiday season and my grandpa's health was deteriorating. The sire had 18 titles and I was told that there was a good chance I could resell the puppy for the price we paid to someone better suited if needed. Peggy was unable to buy this litter and changed her mind about the refund. She had a litter of at least 4 puppies (according to a picture she had posted) born on December 27th which she wanted us to buy a male from. I pointed out that was not our agreement and refused to buy it. She agreed to sell that male and once she did she would use the money to refund us. I noticed the listing for him was removed and inquired about it on February 6. She told me she gave that puppy to someone else with no monies exchanged. Even if that's true, I doubt she gave all the puppies away but she is refusing to use the sale of any of them to refund us. At this point she is refusing to work with us. My grandpa passed away last weekend so we are a little behind on sending our demand letter but will have that in the mail no later than next week. If we do not receive our refund at that point, we are completely ready to take legal action.

 

Anyone planning on doing business with Peggy, anything from buying a puppy, an adult dog, or a breeding, please use caution. Many people are coming forward with horror stories. There are many things that can go wrong. In the case of breeding, please make sure you require UP TO DATE proof of health, especially for brucellosis.

Condolences on the passing of your grandpa.

As far as this breeder goes, she hasn't made good on anything she's promised so far. To think that she's suddenly going to do so when you send your demand letter this time is simply magical thinking on your part. File the court paperwork and be done with it--you're just prolonging things, and could well end up running out the statute of limitations with all of her delay tactics.

Thank you. I don't believe the demand letter will cause her to have a change of heart and repay us but it was the advice of an attorney to go about it this way because it will look better for us in court. We have a while before the statute of limitations is up but ready for this to be over with and won't be making any more deals with her. We've already printed off all of our texts messages and every other evidence we have against her. Nothing is holding us back at this point beside a couple corrections needed to be made in the letter which will be done this weekend and mailed by Monday.

Susie, it depends I know for dog's and cat's its the same, but I don't know for any other animal if it also hold true, it may.

This lady is obviously a scumbag. Why would you even consider getting a puppy from her instead of a refund. Most likely the puppy you get will not be anything to be proud of anyway.

There are a few good breeders in MI that I know of. Find yourself a good breeder once you get your money back. Try http://wildhauskennels.com/

if that doesn't fit your needs, she can point you to good breeders that breed the type of dog you want. Good luck.

Thanks eddie1976E! Honestly, I didn't feel comfortable buying a puppy from her at that point but I wanted to avoid the hassle of court. I thought agreeing to her terms was the choice I had to possibly receive our refund without having to go to court. It was lazy on my part. At the time I accepted the offer I wasn't yet aware of certain things and I am now very happy it didn't work out.

I definitely appreciate hearing referrals since I have no idea where to go after this. Thanks for taking the time to tell me about her, I'm looking forward to checking her out! :)

The first thing I would do is sue the wench. The second would be to make a complaint for fraud with her local police and attorney general. Then I would go after PAYPAL for the money. Good Luck. I would also stay away from LaPorte Indiana when shopping for another.
