Nearly three years ago, I sold #1
pick puppy to a client, one of the VERY few pups I've sold on
payment terms. This is SOOOOOO why I don't sell my pups on contract.
My client promised he would do good things with this pup. He paid a
portion down, then sent me one more payment, then quit paying. I
lost contact with him, couldn't find him, and then out of the blue,
another person contacted me almost a year later, saying he had been
"given" my dog, was given her by my client, and wanted information
on her parents. He was trying to get her papers, that had not been
forthcoming from my client and first owner of this pup, when the dog
was given to him...this was because he didn't have them, because she
was not yet HIS and papers were in my name!! I informed this person
who contacted me that she had not been fully paid for, and that she
was not my client's dog to give away, to anyone, and that in the
event he couldn't keep her for any reason, I had first right of
refusal. I hadn't been given that option. I learned by his own words
from the person contacting me and who was "given" my dog was a cop.
A Narcotics and Border patrol cop In Arizona, Officer
Caleb Davis. . A cop employed in a very hostile, remote and
demanding area of very high crime . I first gave him the option of
purchasing her for the balance due, but he said he didn't have any
money, then he got nasty with me saying he didn't have any
responsibility to make good on the transaction I had with my client
on the purchase of her. She had been given to him. "Wrong"...I told
him. "She was not paid for. Thus, she is now classified as stolen
property, and you are harboring stolen goods that belong to me. " I
then sent him written notice that he return her to me as such. He
refused to send her back, I filed a written, formal complaint report
with his department, who basically covered for him, telling me that
it was a civil matter (what?? an officer sworn to uphold the law,
who is now knowingly harboring stolen goods, and they look the other
way saying it's a civil matter??) OK...so I took him to court to
regain possession of my dog. The contact from him saying he had my
dog began nearly a year ago. Multiple conversations later trying to
get him to return her were for naught, and just prior to him having
to go to court to face the court charges here in my state, rather
than returning my dog to me, he GIVES THE DOG AWAY TO A MINOR there
in Arizona, a minor who he states WANTED THIS Police APPREHENSION
TRAINED DOG TO TAKE TO COLLEGE FOR PROTECTION...(ahhh...yeah right,
that would be allowed by the college ! ! ) well, long story short, I
then proceeded through the court system, was granted an order of
possession, and an official judgement against him. Then finally...
after hiring a Private Investigator to locate and recover my dog
from his control and from the parties he had hidden my dog out with...and nearly a YEAR
later (it will be a year in July) , at last, TODAY, I am thrilled to
report I have received my dog back from Arizona.
Officer Caleb Davis has yet to make good on paying
this judgement I have been awarded by the courts....But..In
time....it will happen.
MANY Thanks to my
good friends and clients Mike and Nancy K...who must remain nameless
for safety and protection purposes... and to my 2nd Attorney and
puppy client TOM G who I now consider also a very good friend!!!
Yes... you ALL know who you are! I will be forever grateful for
making the possession and reclaiming of my dog a reality, and for
helping execute the vet exam and flight back here to me, and for
housing my girl Denzi and taking care of her these past several days
during the process of getting her back home to me. THANK YOU SO
MUCH!! I'm adding a video of Denzi as a puppy...7 weeks, with
littermates...
Karin DeLano WarrenWow
Jean glad you got her back and that is a
lesson for all of us sometimes being
nice and wanting to help a person do the
right thing turns out into a
nightmare... Many times people sure
don't do what they say they will...
welcome home Dezi!!
Susan TuckWelcome
home, Denzi! What an odyssey she has
been through! Good for you, and lucky
for her, you stuck with it. I have a
feeling she would have ended up in a
very sad life if it weren't for you.
Karin DeLano WarrenJean
can I share your story on my wall? as to
why one shouldn't expect to make
payments on a animal to prevent this
type of heartache not only for the
breeder but for the animal as well.. I
think it is worth sharing to make people
understand that when you are turned down
this is why.
Jean SchraderThis
is my video of Denzi when she was 7
weeks. Many have seen it on my website
from our litter page, but it's so
heartwarming to see her perserverence, I
wanted to share the link here for those
who would like to watch it. Cut and
paste into your browser the following

Karen, you can share this story with
others. There is so much more to this
story that I am unable to post, because
this isnt yet over in that I now have to
go forward with recovering my recovery
expenses and attorney costs from the
person who refused to return my dog.
Karin DeLano WarrenI
am sure there is a lot more I am so glad
you got her backsmile

think this has to be shared so even
friends/ acquaintances understand as to
why this just isn't good practice I have

I'm so sorry this happened to you and I

Jean SchraderLinda,
as we know sadly there is always the bad
apple in the bunch. This guy has done
this to others, his MO is to take the
dogs into training, run up the training
bill, then when the owner's can't pay,
he gets them to turn over the dog.
That's exact...See

Jean SchraderThe
latest update now is that the people he
"gave her" to, are trying to strong arm
me with their attorney, claiming I
received "unjust enrichment" in me
taking her away, for their "training
time and costs". My attorney will be
telling them to go afte...See

Jean SchraderDenzi
is settling in well now, went to the vet
yesterday for her hip and elbow xrays,
which look fabulous..
We needed to get that done before she
comes into heat, or gets any older
before xraying.
Yumi x Lord both have A1 hips and ED
Normal so I'm glad to see that this was
again passed along to her.
Jean SchraderLinda
Stone Nixthere
is so much more that Ive been advised
not to post, but if you get some time
and want to chat, which we're LONG
overdue for anyway, give me a call and
I'll fill you in.

healthy babies...she's an excellent
mother. At this time, sire of litter is
unknown. My attorney is working on
obtaining that information from those
who had housed and concealed Denzi
during the last year.
Jean SchraderUpdate...
Denzi is doing very well, and last year
in October Denzi produced her first
litter for Schraderhaus K9...
The Sire of Denzi's litter was our DDR
Male, V Gerry von Weltwitz, IPO3, FH2,

James FeinbergJean:
What a nightmare! Shame on those who did
not fulfill their financial, legal, and
moral obligations to you! Dead beats,
thieves, and liars suck pond scum!
Fortunately, the German Shepherd
persistence in you paid off! Just one
more reason that I admire you!
Beverly DarlingRemember
me? You let me have Nicka on a payment
plan. (Beresnicka von Schraderhaus -
Norbo and Helga's daughter and Bojhan's
sister). She has been with me since
February of 2011. She is standing guard
at my front gate as I write this. Did
Denzi have decent care when she was with
those characters? Has she been
traumatized? Do you plan to keep the dog
now, or find it a good home? I'm out of
questions. Take care.
Jean SchraderYes...
Denzi is still with me and has been
added into our breeding program. She has
had one very good litter with our DDR
Male Gerry von Weltwitz in 2014. We
liked very much what the two produced
together, and she will be bred to him
again in 2015 for a repeat litter.
