This is to defend myself from the lies being told about me from Ms Shaver. I will proof each complaint she made against me is untrue.

All of this started because Ms Shaver wrote to me asking for a refund of her money because she was going to have several surgeries and needed her money back for medical cost.

Never once did she mention to me how upset she was for having to wait on her puppies. Never once did she mention to me how upset she was about anything.

It's odd to me that all this happened after I asked her to please send me something from her doctor stating she wouldn't be able to take care of the puppies after her surgery.

I feel if this is the case why didn't she just send me the proof from her doctor and we could end this matter in a kind manner.

1. It states on my policy page and in my contract I give no refunds towards any monies paid towards my puppies.

If Ms Shaver had a problem with this policy why did she pay any money towards not just one puppy but two puppies from me? She paid for the puppies at two different times not all at once.

2.Ms Shaver states that she did not know that the breedings between Chiara and the breeding with Bali had not taken place.

Ms Shaver please reread  the receipt I emailed you back in May. It states and I quote. Chiara will be bred on Sunday.

Therefore she knew Chiara was NOT bred before she paid the money towards a puppy. She also knew Bali would not be bred for awhile after Chiara. I have included a copy of the email stating how much she paid and about Chiara being bred after her money was paid. Ms Shaver herself had tried to use this email against me on another forum. It only made her look dishonest.

3, Ms Shaver states she only wanted two Formentino colored pups. Never in any of her emails does she state this to me.

I even asked Ms Shaver when we spoke to send me an email where she stated this. I never received one.

Ms Shaver said I never spoke with her about the Bali litter when it was born.

Here is an email dated October 20 2011 where she is asking me to help her pick her two puppies please note the color she asked about first. BLUE BRINDLE. She is claiming she never wanted any other color but Formentino.

As you can determine from this email we had spoke about Bali and her litter over the phone. I had told Ms Shaver about Bali and her

strange behavior with her puppies and how to me the best puppies had passed away.

Bali had 11 puppies at birth. It's sad to say as the puppies aged some died. It happens. it's life.

Its something breeders have to worry about happening in every litter.

My Vet came out to help us with Bali and her puppies. Anyone that knows me knows my Vet Dr Walker. His office is just up the street from my home.

He said mother dogs know when there is something wrong with their puppies. He said a puppy can look normal and we think the mother is being mean by her behavior

they will push the puppies away and no longer feed them or they will move them away completely from her den. As sad as it sounds Bali did this. All but one of her puppies died.

If myself or my Vet felt that there was any danger in breeding Bali again I assure you it wouldn't have happened.

Here is the email I spoke about.

Hey Kim,

Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know after talking with you I am going to pass on this litter. I was hoping to be in the show ring this winter but its not going to happen.

Knowing this I just need to be patient and not rush in picking a pup. I need you to help me pick a grey/blue brindle female for showing and breeding.

I am not sure if I want 2 brindles at this point or a formentino or blue. I do want to get both pups close in age to try to stay close to my timeline.

You have dealt with the breed longer than myself and I trust your judgment and appreciate your honesty in what you told me on this litter of Balis.

I am putting a lot of thought into what I want to breed as far as getting the color in the litter I am aiming for.

If the parents are color locked in genetics it will take me too long (in my timeline) to achieve what I have in mind.

I appreciate all the advice you have given me so far and I know you will help me achieve what I am striving for.

I also hope to champ a couple of your dogs in the ring and put the Avalanche name out there further. Thank you for being patient and helping me,

call me when you have time and let me know what breedings you have coming up and what I can expect. This will give me time to plan and decide what will work for

what I hope to achieve in breeding.

Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sheri Shaver

4. I have text messages that I will post on here from Ms Shaver dated August 14, 2011 stating she saw the pics of the Chiara pups, she commented how cute they were but at this time she is gonna pass on the litter she wasn't interested in a blue brindle puppy at this time.

She writes how she will wait on the Bali litter and will pick a puppy from a latter litter.

I was kind and told her I had no problem with that and would move her to a latter litter.

On October 10, 2011 I receive a text from Ms Shaver asking if she could have two pups from the Bali litter.

On October 11, 2011 I answer Ms Shaver saying I can't give her two pups from this litter I don't have another pup available.

On the same date Ms Shaver emails me asking if I have any blue brindle females available. she also ask what pups I have available that she could come and pick from.

5. Ms Shaver comments about a virus my dogs picked up after we first moved here on our land. This is why I say her stories are twisted. My best Friend came to help us for a week

Jamie Kerbel along with my children and several other family members all came together to help us spray for this awful virus. My Vet made up a mixture of pesticides for us to spray everywhere to kill this virus that can causes problems for other animals. We had to spray it everywhere everyday for a week.

Then after the 7th day of treatment everything had to be cleaned with Clorox. Its something none of us will ever forget.

It makes me sick to think she wrote about that awful event in the manner in which she did.



Ms Shaver says I double sell maybe triple sell my puppies. How can I do that when I have a fan page and all the families come there to write about my puppies and talk about the pup they received? I post about the families that receive my POL pups. Those puppies represent my kennel. I have been breeding for 12 years. Ms Shaver is angry because she wants her money back and will say anything negative about me and my dogs in hopes to get it. Ms Shaver agreed to my policies before she paid any money.



Here is the email where Ms Shaver wrote to me about her health problem.

I text Ms Shaver the same day she wrote me. If I can figure out how to post the text on here I will. I feel Ms Shaver is saying these mean ugly things about me and my kennel because she has been caught in a lie.  If you need anymore information from me please don't hesiate to ask. I will gladly send it.
