Lake Ridge Kennels, Dee Gerrish Lake Ridge Kennels Internet harassment, false accusations, malicious attacking, Internet

"A little while ago,  I happened to see what further trash my estranged sister was posting on her twitter account and noticed she put this link for the general internet public to view:  (((Redacted))) on her twitter account..only her link was shortened through a bit.ly appllication.  What a few people and myself have noticed, however, is that (((Redacted))) is a spam site.  As someone told me,  it must be an orphan site because there is no contact link; no information as to who owns (((Redacted))) and as I was looking at some of the articles posted on this spam site,  I noticed that the words "greatenter" was interjected inappropriately within a sentence of the article itself.......and this can be seen with all of the articles.  This is what leads me to believe (((Redacted))) is nothing more than a site for spam.  It is also a site where my estranged sister posted her nonsense on because it's par for the course with her.  She spends a great deal of time looking for sites like this to post her untruthful verbage about me and my business simply to make it harder to get the content removed.

Even though I know these sites are spam and fraudulant websites where anyone can plaster whatever they want about anyone, it makes me sick to my stomach to come across the garbage that has been posted by my estranged sister.    The date of posting appears to be 2008 and I am sure it was posted in September of 2008 right after I had tried to help my mother remove a half sister as my mother's durable power of attorney after my mother notified me she was being ripped off by several of my estranged sisters.  What I've noticed about similar postings, since 2006,  is that each and every single posting  coincides  with a family event that revolves around internal fighting that has nothing at all to do with my  dogs or my business. All of the dates of each absurd posting that are similar in nature to the link I provided in this article,  can be connected with my estranged family members and more importantly, one particular estranged sister.  Had I the ability to have someone investigate the IP address and server information for each libelous, outlandish posting regarding my business and me as a person,  I know that it would prove to lead back to the doorstep of my estranged sister's home.

Not only is the content (see link up above)  completely fabricated by my sister,  there isn't a shred of truth to what has been written anywhere over the internet that is similar whether be it a forum or a website.  The insulting, derogatory, untruthful comments that directly target me as a person and my business,  serve the purpose of causing direct harm via internet cyberbullying.  There is no other purpose other than it being a game for  the content's author.

I tried  to find the owner of the greatenter.com website and I've asked a couple of people to investigate the matter for me so that I can contact the owner  and report the content that was written by my estranged sister. The content posted reminds me of all the other trash I found plastered on a VOY forum as well as other forums where Goldendoodle owners and breeders congregate.  Another thing I've noticed regarding trash like the content found on greatenter.com is that you will see the content sits upon a site where there is usually no way to contact the website owner.  Since 2006,  I've had to either personally call each website owner or file a direct grievance through a contact form regarding similar postings.  Every time I stumble upon such postings it has  the same purpose...to destroy my credibility as a breeder and smear my business name. Every single similar posting has been copied and posted by the same exact person, only you'll find multiple different names to make it appear as though the postings are  by different people when in fact the content is  written, copied and posted  by only one single person repeatedly.

First of all,  it is absurd that I have to bring this garbage to light.  No breeder or business should have to constantly be defending themselves over the internet as I've had to, but it is my only recourse of action.  I've contacted the sheriff's office in my estranged sisters' area and I've contacted the police department as well as the sheriff's department in my own area as well.  They won't do anything about what she's been doing over the internet simply because it's the internet.  I don't even know why states have a cyberbullying law when they don't enforce them.  If I had the funds to hire an internet attorney and sue the pants off of this woman,  I would have already been inside a Florida courtroom pushing for jail time or for her to be fined so heavily she can't see straight!

The vulgar, untruthful  content my sister continues to post all over the internet is nothing but a game to her.  For me and my business, it means causing harm to our business and making it impossible for our dogs to find homes.  The content was written to steer unsuspecting people seeking a Goldendoodle, away from our business.  It serves as a smear campaign that absolutely has not a single shred of merit to the content she continues to broadcast on as many websites as she possibly can.  To say this person has lost her mind, is an understatement.  She can't back up a single thing she has written regarding my Goldendoodle business even though I've asked her since 2006 to produce the evidence of the ridiculous content she writes.  She writes explicit, over the top, national enquirer type of unworthy "news" regarding a person and a business she absolutely knows nothing about just to grab your attention!  I have a taped telephone confession of her admittance and I have a personal emailed confession that she is behind all of the outlandish content posted over the internet regarding me and my business.  I have the same question in my mind as you may have...why is she doing this?  Why does this person do nothing with her day or her life, for that matter, other than obsess and fixate on destroying me as a person and my business? How could a person literally go to bed at night and wake up in the morning each and every day, doing nothing more than getting on the internet and posting  the same repeated garbage about someone and their business?  The action itself is insane!  

I am here to tell you folks,  her words posted all over the internet regarding anything she's written about are filled with nothing but  insane lies. My family and I just can't believe the accusations and false claims this woman comes up with whether it be regarding me, my husband, my children, my dogs, my business or even my very own mother. The amount of inner hatred this individual focuses on is disturbing in itself.  It further bothers me that this same woman claims she's a care-taker for my mother who has dementia.  I've never understood to date why my mother has not been removed and placed into protective custody.  It's disturbing to think my mother has no ability to mentally understand what is going on and that an individual with this much hatred is in charge of her wellbeing. 

To defend my business from the vile content written all over the internet, first and foremost, my husband and I have NEVER been a puppy mill nor ever will be.  I go out of my way to help animals that don't even belong to me.  I've loved animals all of my life and I would never do anything to directly harm an animal of any kind.   It is absurd at best to call someone  a puppy mill simply because they are a breeder.  I've had 4 litters for the entire year of 2009....how does that make me a puppy mill? I do NOT always have puppies nor do I constantly create puppies just for the sake of creating them.  My business has suffered at the hands of my estranged sister's nonsense posted all over the internet because people come across the content just as I have...they read it...and they don't know the content is a complete fabrication and written by someone with nothing but vengeance on their mind.  They do not know me as a person...they haven't met me nor do they know the person posting the content.  Hell, if I did not know me...I'd probably believe it too.  But, folks, it's nothing more than a terrible hoax to hurt me as a person and to hurt my business.

Both my husband and I have always provided the best possible service to those who join our Goldendoodle World and who have purchased puppies and dogs from us since 1996.  We have a very large following of fans and many of our customers stay in contact with us over the years.  We have thousands of people who read our Goldendoodle articles from around the world  and there are many breeders themselves who use our website information athttp://www.goldendoodleworld.com  to help them with their own Goldendoodle dogs.

First of all, we are a registered business with the state of North Carolina.  My business was registered with the state back in 1999.  We are a private, professional hobby breeder.  We are NOT required by the state of North Carolina...nor is any private breeder similar to us in this state, required to have a "license" with USDA even though we did, at one time, have a license with the USDA until we were told that we do not need one because we are NOT commercial dog breeders.  We have NEVER sold a single dog to a pet store, pet shop or knowingly to other breeders who may be a commercial dog breeder.   There is no such thing as a "certified" breeder..anywhere in the United States.  There isn't a college or a school for anyone to attend who may be  interested in becoming a "certified breeder"...so that statement is absurd in itself.

 Secondly, we are a reputable breeder who comes highly recommended not only  by our affiliated kennel club, Universal Kennel International...but by multiple happy Goldendoodle customers and families who has joined our Goldendoodle World since 1999.  Anyone wanting to contact our affiliated kennel club may do so.  It is a fact that  we come  highly recommended by this kennel club and this fact can be substantiated by a lady named  Lois....a woman who works for UKCI and who can verify our long standing as a reputable breeder with their kennel club! 

I AM a professional dog breeder; I AM an expert regarding the Goldendoodle hybrid  and I have been a private, professional hobby breeder  for 13 years as of January 2009.  We are coming up on our 14th anniversary in just a few short months!   I AM one of the original founders for the Goldendoodle hybrid for the entire southern region of the United States and I AM the FIRST breeder to register the Goldendoodle dog with a ligit kennel club in the United States  and that fact can be substantiated with the Universal Kennel Club International.  Lois can verify that I was the very first breeder to ever register the Goldendoodle dog with their kennel club.

Not me, my husband or my Goldendoodle business has ever scammed or ripped off one single person in the 13 years MY NOTE: READ HER CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINTS ON VOY.COM we've been in business and how dare my estranged sister write the vile, sickening article she wrote that has been  plastered on every single website she possibly can find simply because she has an internal family ax to grind with me.  I am not like that nor is my husband like that.   I have two adult sons and three grandchildren.  I pride myself in how I conduct my life and I was NOT raised by my parents  to be a crook, a criminal or a person with that type of mindset.  I find all of the untruthful,  vile postings plastered all over the internet under multiple fake user names, by my estranged sister, to be dispicable and disgusting.   

My business has provided superb, quality and quite expediate service to every single customer who has purchased from us.  We do as much as we possibly can for our Goldendoodle customers and families to make their adoption process as delightful as possible.  However,  there isn't a single business anywhere on the face of this planet who can satisfy every single customer who walks through their door........nor will I sit here and proclaim we've had a 100 percent satisfaction rate. That doesn't mean we've had "hundreds" of supposed complaints because that just isn't the case.  In the 13 years I've been in business,  I can only remember six people we had difficulty with and it wouldn't matter who they got a dog from...these people would have been a bad customer for another breeder  just as much as they were with us.  Some people you simply can't do anything for, no matter what you attempt to do for them.  It just is what it is.

However,  I WILL sit here and proclaim that in the 13 years of being a private, professional, hobby breeder that thousands of people have used my Goldendoodle World website and my Goldendoodle articles that are splashed all over the internet,  as a tool to further their own breeding business or for their own Goldendoodle knowledge.   I WILL sit here and proclaim that in the 13 years of being a private, professional, hobby breeder that our success rate of satisfied customers FAR EXCEEDS that of many breeders in my same field and for the amount of customers and years we've been in business,  our over-all success rate is very impressive.  I am sick and tired of stumbling across blogs like the one I just came across regarding my business, Lake Ridge Kennel/Goldendoodle World and it is very frustrating to have to spend my days contacting website owners asking them to remove garbage like that posted on greatenter.com by someone who gets enjoyment at posting hurtful, untruthful content simply because  its all a game to them.  My estranged sister uses every single one of her internet accounts to hurt either myself or her other siblings.  I am the only sibling in my family who actually has their own business that has a huge internet presence.  She does nothing but "gloat" on all of her internet accounts about how she's taking care of my mother........how none of her siblings will have anything to do with my mother now that she has dementia when that's simply not the case.  My estranged sister deliberately has kept my mother a virtual prisoner and she prevents my mother from seeing or speaking to me and my other siblings.  She does this because she believes in her mind that she is causing emotional pain to her siblings,  by preventing us from having contact with our mother.  It doesn't cause me any emotional pain whatsoever that I am unable to see, talk or visit with my mother.  I've said it all along that my mother had the ability when she was first diagnosed with dementia to ensure her assets, her home, her income and her  real estate as well as personal affairs were in legal order before her illness progressed further.  She elected to go into denial, instead.  What has happened to my mother regarding her being exploited and being  taken advantage of,  happens to all people who has a dysfunctional family. To this day, I have never understood why my mother chose to deny her illness would progress the way that it has.  Maybe she just didn't want to believe it could happen to her.

My husband, Mike Gerrish and I, built our dog business from the ground up back in 1996.  I've NOT had any physical  contact with the person who wrote the article on greatenter.com since 1996 and prior to that,  I had no contact with her by my own choosing. 

 The author of that greatenter.com article began trashing me and posting this type of vile garbage about me and my business in 2006 due to internal family strife that has just gotten way out of control by this particular individual.   The author makes the claim that there are "hundreds" of supposed complaints about me and my business, Lake Ridge Kennel/Goldendoodle World, all over the internet when that simply isn't the truth.  The only "complaints" I've seen thus far have all been written by HER under multiple FAKE user names!   In her article of trash,  she goes on to provide a link to a VOY forum where she, her friends and family members created multiple postings using multiple  fake user names.  They began a smear campaign not just there but on so many other websites I'd have to pull out my huge box of thousands of printed pages to remember them all.  Since 2006,  this individual has been fixated and obsessed with smearing the good name of my business...myself and my husband.   I've repeatedly asked this woman to provide to me all of the hundreds of  names of  the supposed "wronged" customers she claims exists all over the internet and to date, she's failed to provide them.  I personally believe in 13 years,  I can count about 6 people off the top of my head.  That is a completely acceptable small sum compared to the numerous upon numerous happy customers we've had since 1996.  I've repeatedly asked her to tell me who these "supposed friends" are that somehow knew HER in order to tell HER about this nonsense regarding my business and my dogs.  So far, to date, she's given not a single name.  Why?  Because there are no such friends.  This author doesn't know a single acquaintance of mine nor a single friend I've ever had in my entire life.  She doesn't know a single thing about me as an individual other than what she has read from my own blogs or articles that I've said myself.

The accusations made all over the internet are over the top, absurd at best and has no merit to them whatsoever.  Not a single puppy or dog of ours has ever found its way to a landfill!  That is the most absurd claim I've ever read and it sickens me!  If one of our dogs must be put down,  he or she is properly  euthanized and properly disposed of by our veterinarian's office. Whatever they do with the bodies of animals that go through their doors is completely legal and at their discretion and is nothing unusual for a veterinarian.

The nonsense that has been written by my estranged family members and posted over the internet, never ceases to amaze me and I suppose the only thing they've got going for them is their absurd imagination! It is a fact that many websites where we advertise have banned this very  author of the article on greatenter.com that trashes me and my business. They have been banned on multiple websites for cyberbullying and internet harassment.  This same author even had the audacity to photoshop my own photos and plaster them all over the internet and she copied many of my own articles...twisted the content  around in a negative manner, posted them on her own accounts,  then claimed I wrote them. 

My husband, myself and our business has been the subject of internet abuse, bullying, stalking and  harassment by my estranged family members since 2006 and it is quite unfortunate that this nonsense continues because my dogs ability to find quality homes suffers greatly when unsuspecting people, as I have, stumble upon this garbage!  The only person who is scamming and ripping people off over the internet is the author of the content posted on greatenter.com and I hope I find out who owns that website so I can personally contact them.  I have never in my life seen anyone so negative, so obsessed and so fixated as my estranged family members have been and for what?  What purpose does it serve them other than it being nothing more than a game to them.

Visit our website at http://www.goldendoodleworld.com and you will clearly see how dedicated we are to our dogs; to our business; to the Goldendoodle hybrid.  Both my husband and I are prior military and we served our country with pride and with honor. Both my husband and I received many battalion awards, many community awards and commendations for our thousands of volunteer hours as respite and foster care providers while stationed in Germany.  My husband is presently working on his second college degree.  I am medically retired from the military.  We have lived here in North Carolina, at the same address since 1996 after coming here from our tour in Germany.

MY NOTE: Notice how many times Dee Gerrish puts links to her website here. She also wants you to know that she 'served' her country. This has nothing to do with breeding dogs.

If you happen to stumble upon more garbage like the link up above, please do not hesitate to either email me at goldendoodleworld@hotmail.com  or call me at 704-278-DOGS (3647).  I will be happy to discuss anything you've read over the internet regarding me, my husband or our business.  We have many happy customers who have given us permission to use them as a reference and we'll be happy to pass them along to you.
