This Person has had five months to upload proof of their fake review

AUTHOR: Brandon - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 08, 2017

It's been well over five months since this report has been created and the person who created it has not uploaded any proof that they purchased a puppy from us or any proof that they had a sick pup that supposedly died. Since this was a fake review done to hurt our reputation (because we reported a breeder to the state of Wisconsin and AKC for neglect and their despicable breeding practices) We implored the writer of this review to upload any proof of their claims. All our puppy owners sign a contract that both parties are given a copy of, the buyer and us. These contracts are part of our AKC record keeping and we are required to keep one on file for every person we have ever sold a puppy to. Since this person has never bought a dog from us they do not have this contract as they have shown by not uploading anything. Furthermore, they would have vet bills and documentation proving they had a puppy that died in the supposed manner they claimed. On those vet bills their would be a name of the puppy in which would have the ability to match a name to one of our past puppies. Which can be further looked into by looking at factual AKC registration papers of our entire pack and every pack members registered litters as AKC registers every single litter we produce, which includes the names of every puppy and the information of that puppies human owners. If I had a puppy that fell sick and died due to a breeder I would be very inclined to do whatever it takes to make it known, which would include uploading factual evidence of the claims to truly prove the validity of the claims. The proof is in the factual evidence as anyone can say anything they like for any reason they wish, but with evidence not much can be disputed. which is why the author of this was told to upload any factual evidence of proof since the very beginning of this ridiculous review being posted.

The horrifying part is that this website doesn't require a person to upload any proof of their review. Not one shred of evidence is required to submit a review of any kind about any business. That is a disturbing fact. The website also has an "arbitration" program available for business to supposedly settle the review and get it to be removed if they are found to be not at fault or innocent. The fee for this process is $2,000! Who has that kind of money laying around. They are making so much money at the expense of business worldwide. It may not hurt big business but smaller business such as ours, it does and is almost impossible to pay. This website is really a scam to make money as there is nothing stopping anyone(even employees and owners of this website) from writing fake reviews with no proof to push thousands of companies into paying them the 2,000 $ fee. A website that gives people who are wronged the ability to make it known to the world is a great thing and should exist. But a person should be required to upload proof that they had involvement with the company they are reviewing about. Anyone that is truly wronged will have proof and will have no issue uploading it to prove their claim. I am very certain this website will end up in a class action lawsuit at some point in the near future for all the companies affected by false reviews, allegations, and deformation of their business.

A review like this can be completely devastating to a business like ours. It also is extremely personal to us since we have been in business for over five years and have made it a point to breed differently than most any other breeder. We cook 160 pounds of food every two to three days for our pack and puppies. We don't keep our dogs in 6 by 10 kennels like every other breeder. We have ginormous enclosures that our made from two rolls of 100 ft fencing. They have ramps, tunnels, tree forts in all of their enclosures so they can have fun and stimulate their body & Mind. Our females whelp in our own home in a bedroom. Then we have an entire garage that was converted into a whelping facility for puppies once they are old enough to go out there. We do stress tests with our puppies from birth along with daily confidence building exercises. We are also the only breeder that offers families the ability to decide to have or not have their puppies first set of shots. Since a puppy cant develop an immunity to a vaccine until they are 16 weeks old, doing them before that age doesn't create an immunity and causes severe long term side effects that aren’t necessary. We tattoo all our puppies since microchips have been causing high rates of cancer at the injection sites. We have a 100 page puppy handbook that we have available for all our puppy owners that they are given which contains five years worth of extensive research on our part on every possible subject that has to do with caring for a dog. The pack and puppies are all given RO filtered water and we have a RO filter machine/unit installed in our bathroom where we make their water from. This is so they aren’t exposed to chlorine or fluoride for the various health side effects associated with them. In short our entire life has been about them and is lived to give them the best possible life since they deserve this and don't have the ability to seek it or ask for it by us humans. Our breeding is extremely personal so when a person makes a fake review for a personal vendetta it really is heart breaking. We put so much into it all that for some person to do this leaves us speechless. If it were true and their was evidence to back it all up then it would be a different story. We have never had any issues like this with any of our puppy owners over the past five years, and we have placed hundreds of puppies in the homes of families across the USA. 

This website will only release the identity of the person who wrote the review if they are subpoenaed to do so. Since the website doesn't require any proof of your identity,  once they give you the info of the reviewer it will most likely be a fake name from an email made up to leave the fake review, as all they require is your name, a address of any kind(Just state and town), and any email to leave a review on here. The only good thing from acquiring a subpoena to get the information is that you can obtain the IP address of the computer the review was written on. Which in court is easily traced to the actual person who wrote the review. It is just extremely tiring and sad that we will have to go through a lawyer and court to hold this person accountable for this deformation and fake review because this website gave someone the ability to do this to us requiring no proof (as the website allows anyone to do even a ten year old). I refuse to pay this website $2000 dollars and if im going to have to pay that I am going to pay it to an actual lawyer who will be able to do much more than get this false review removed.

This website also doesn't allow a person who wrote a review about a business to remove the review after you have posted it. Even if the company were to rectify the issue with the person of the review, neither party can remove the review or remove it from coming up at the top of google and all the other search engines. That speaks wonders about how adamant this website is on hurting business and getting business to turn around and pay them the 2,000 $ fee.( all this info about the website and their $2,000 fee, removing reviews, writing them, etc is all on this website under all of their info, guidelines, and "fixing your reputation" pages)

We do know the person who wrote the review as it was done maliciously due to us reporting another breeder. That person is Amanda Henry. Whom is the owner of AFC's Siberian Huskies in Pennsylvania. Their is a snapshot uploaded as evidence which shows her stating she was going to do this to us, that was gratefully sent to us by a third party whom discovered it. I found it Ironic that when doing a search of her breeding program there are numerous rip off reports about her and how disturbing her breeding program is(makes sense why she knew of this site and how to use it, yet she failed to realize her rip-off reports about her have actual evidence uploaded by those reviewers)). Along, with that she has been charged with numerous counts of animal neglect and mistreatment by the state of Pennsylvania. She has also been found guilty on a few of those charges by the court. Regardless of Knowing she is the author, going to court is the only way to solve the issue and hold her accountable. Still baffles my mind that things like this are allowed to happen, and people can have their business wrongfully hurt simply based on a vendetta or money making scheme.

Here is an article of when Amanda J henry was charged the second time:

BEAVER SPRINGS — For a second time this year, a Beaver Springs woman has been cited for operating an illegal dog kennel.

Amanda J. Henry, 33, of Ridge Road, was charged by the state Department of Agriculture following a May 22 visit by four dog wardens armed with a search warrant.

Dog warden Chris Seiple said in court documents that Henry pleaded guilty Jan. 2 to operating a dog kennel without a license and four months later, when he and three other dog wardens visited her home again, they found 34 dogs on the premises.

He alleges that more than 50 dogs had been a part of the kennel, known as AFC Kennel Siberian Huskies and AFC Siberian Huskies, during the year since her guilty plea and had been sold or transferred, despite Henry’s failure to obtain a kennel licence, court records said.

Three of the dogs ages 3 months or older did not have a current or valid license and the wardens found an accumulation of feces, bowls of unclean water and large holes in the ground where the animals were kept.

Henry is scheduled to appear at an Oct. 1 preliminary hearing before District Judge Lori R. Hackenberg on charges of third-degree misdemeanor operating a kennel without a license; three summary charges of failing to obtain a dog license and a summary charge of failing to keep a sanitary kennel.

Henry, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday, faces a fine of between $500 and $1, 000 and-or up to one year in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor charge.

#3 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Says the personal friend of Nicole Marshburn

AUTHOR: Brandon - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, October 17, 2016

     The writer of this is named Amanda Henry, whom is a personal friend of Mrs. Nicole Marshburn of CKM Huskies. Whom I have snap shotted conversations from Nicole Marshburn's personal page showing Amanda Henry stating to Nicole" I'm going to try and help you get one of them(the one he got from you or this one that is owed to you". Then another comment by Amanda Henry stating "He will give you one of them or his reputation will be ruined so bad, or he will wish he never got into breeding". How Ironic considering what the writer of this fake rip off report says in this comment and "Tells" us to do. 

    She was given a puppy by us already by the name of Aluka. In which she had for over a month and her l*****n girlfriend Taylor thanked us on September 23 at 7:48 Am stating " And I want to personally thank you for Aluka. She has become my little fluff ball and I just adore her to pieces." They had her since the beginning of September at this point. On October 8 we received a message from Nicole Marshburn via text stating "Just wanted to let you know we had to put Aluka at rest today at 11am we are very heartbroken and are having her body sent out to labs to find out." We never understood why this puppy was just simply put to sleep instead of an effort at all costs being made to save her. This was until I found another message from her girlfriend Taylor "haha we got his sister annie back(returned to them from puppy owner) and decided to keep her. Nicole "hates" aluka." now after all the pieces have been put together it now makes sense why they simply put a dog to sleep instead of saving it, because Nicole hated the dog. 

     Our own puppy we got from them ended up in a hospital for four days and we payed $870 dollars to save him because he had a colonization of worms so large that it shut his colon down and was killing him. The vet stated due to the size of the colony and the lifecycle of the roundworm, this problem came from CKM huskies and was growing for a long time in him while under CKM huskies care.

   On top of that we were contacted by the owner of the brother to the boy we got from CKM Huskies, and she also had the exact same situation. She had to rush her own to the emergency vet and he was deathly sick due to a colony of worms. In which that vet concluded to that owner, that it had come from ckm Huskies since she had only had the dog a few days. In both instances, theirs and ours Nicole Marshburn was informed of the problem but denied any responsibility and said it didn't come from her. She also went on to state she has all her litters poop tested, yet on either of our vet health certificates does it state or show that any poop of any kind was tested. Which we already knew because any vet of any caliber would have found these worms in their poop. Now on top of that the sister in that litter was returned to CKM Huskies by the puppy owners immediately after they got her. There was a fourth puppy in the litter, a male that we originally picked out but he died at three weeks old to a "stomach mass" that went unexamined by any vet.

  With them killing a puppy we gave them after a month of it being in their care, how sick our boy was that we got from them was, how sick his brother was, the original puppy we picked dying, and the female in the litter getting returned we are supposed to consciously make the decision to send them another puppy? Who in their right mind would do so and after experiencing all that to knowingly put yet another puppy in their care.....no. We have never had one puppy owner ever lose anyone of our puppies because we do not send sick and diseased puppies home. Aluka was the first and it just so happens to be a person that has been shown and proven to regularly send out deathly sick and infested puppies, along with regularly losing double figured amounts of puppies from her litters every so many months.

    Along with this His health certificates were forged. She used a "not for transfer out of Wisconsin" form to ship a puppy to us in upstate New York. A completely different form is required to ship out of state but instead she used the health certificate she regularly photo copies and fills in herself, leaving only the signature of the vet to be transferred upon photo copying. Also the entire right hand side of the form is missing which no state form would approve and hand out, nor would a vet sign off on a form that is missing legal information. There are skid marks on the left hand side of the document like you would have when making a photocopy of something. Finally, it is supposed to be on carbon white paper yet it is on white printer paper. In which, the appropriate authorities have been made aware of the forged documentation and illegal shipping of a puppy out of state with the incorrect vet health certificate.

   Furthermore, the family of the brother to our boy and I have discovered the AKC paperwork we were given has also been forged. We were both informed on June19/20th that this litter we got our puppies from was born. We were sent pictures, texts, and CKM Huskies also posted pictures on their Facebook page. Yet on our AKC paperwork it states they were born June 26th instead. After researching, we have found the reason for this was her male/the father named ARLO was not seven months old when he bred. By AKC's rules a male dog needs to be at the youngest seven months old at the time of breeding for a litter to be registered with AKC. With putting the litters birthday down as June 26th instead of June19/20th it made the male seven months old. This is a complete forgery of AKC paperwork that we have proof of cia our AKC registration papers, saved texts showing when Nicole stated the litter was born with pictures etc. The evidence is astronomical and is being passed onto the proper governing body.

   Furthermore, the state police of New York were already contacted yesterday due to the harassment being done by Nicole Marshburn and her deplorable friends to us and our business. After the state trooper seen all the print outs of threats to come steal our dogs, and harassment via phone, Facebook, and fake internet reviews like this one he made a call to Mrs Nicole Marshburn and informed her to stop contacting and harassing us. You are now just making matters worse for her as all this harassment falls on her and so does the deformation of character lawsuit being brought on her. You can't wildly make claims publicly without having factual evidence to back up what you are saying. neither you, Amanda or Nicole Marshburn have proof of any of your claims. We have all our puppy owners fill out a contract and sign it. So where is yours, please upload it here since you can (even though you can't because the document does not exist for you). Prove your claims because it has no validity because you are not one of our puppy owners and never have been but instead a psychotic friend recruited by a deplorable and despicable breeder. The state trooper himself said he would not send her another puppy after all that, and he didn't just take our word he read every single print out of every conversation with Nicole Marshburn of CKM Huskies.

  You and Nicole regularly do this to breeders that she has an issue with, which is anyone she ever gets a puppy from or gives one to. I have been contacted by multiple breeders that she has tried to do the exact same thing to even though in every scenario she was the one lying, manipulating, and producing sick puppies. We also have the proof from those unnamed breeders as well.

  Also Andeo will be eight months old and by AKC's standard that is the accepted age to breed any male dog. Actually that's a month over their accepted age requirements, which by the way is seven months old. Funny how you mention that though, considering Nicole breeding one under seven months old and that being publicly stated before you made this post. What a coincidence that you would bring up such a random subject???

   Furthermore, with any contract we have with any puppy owner it clearly states on the contract both parties sign and on our website that if a potential puppy owner is found to be unfit for a puppy then we reserve the right to deny them a puppy entirely. Furthermore, Nicole Marshburn payed absolutely nothing for the puppy she was denied, not even a deposit. She has no contract signed and no agreement, and even if she did with the proven neglect/death/forgery/issues she would have not been sent a puppy, She was clearly aware of our policies by means of our website in which it states this policy clearly and is also in our puppy handbook that families are expected to download when adopting a puppy from us. Even if she claims she was not aware of it, that is her own misfortune for not being an adult and reading the information that is easy accessible, readable, and available about what she was getting into.

They are living breathing animals that have souls, not pawns to use and abuse without any consequences. There is a moral conduct to care for any creature and we as breeders are supposed to have the highest moral standard possible. Yet hers and yours is absolutely nonexistent and your ignorance is clear considering the continuous of this after all the concrete documents have been made public for you and everyone else to read. How do you fight the words that come from the horse's mouth itself??? grow up or we will also be filing a lawsuit against you Amanda.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Fake person made up by an angry breeder from CKM Huskies who was refused a puppy due to deplorable treatment and conditions she raises her dogs in

AUTHOR: Brandon - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, October 16, 2016

First and foremost the person who created this post is a friend of the breeder who was used to do her bidding. This alleged person never purchased a Husky from us and has no proof that she did such as the contract we have all our puppy owners sign or proof of payment for the puppy. We have never sold a puppy to a family in Pennsylvania in the entire history of our breeding. Please ask them to furnish records to prove their edentity, location, purchase with us as they will not be able to furnish any of this. The breeder that is doing all this, CKM Huskies under Nicole Marshburn located in White lake Wisconsin was refused another puppy from us because she killed the first puppy she got from us. She has a history of loosing entire litters for unknown reasons and raises dogs in 6 by 10 kennels with one dog on top of another. This breeder lost the puppy after she was in her care for over a month. We also acquired a puppy from her at the same time period not knowing any better. He ended up spending four days in an intensive care emergency veterinarian hospital with us having to pay $870 to get him nursed back to health. He had a colonization of worms so large that it completely blocked and shut down his colon. He was essentially dying due to the blockage. Our vet informed us that a colony of that size that he had would have had to comefrom the previous breeder due to the time frame it takes for the round worm to reach this life stage and to grow to such a stage of colonization that it blocked his colon. He also had coccidia infestation, and a urunary bacterial infection. The female puppy they acquired from us was put to sleep by them and did not die. This was done a month after she was living with them and was a result of their care. We have never had any puppy owner lose one of our puppies and we have been breeding for a very long time. We also lose very few puppies during birth and in our care. In contrast CKM huskies regularly loses entire litters and Puppies almost every litter. Which we have proof of via text messages of the owner Nicole Marshburn telling us coldly whenever she lost a litter or a puppy as if it were no big deal. Now on top of all that, the puppy we got from her was not our original puppy we picked.

At the age of three weeks old Nicole Marshburn contacted us via text stating That the puppy we picked suddenly died because she thought it was due to a stomach turmor(even though he was never seen by a vet). She even sent us a picture of the dead puppy as cold as that is, and I still have the picture to this day. They made us pick out a different puppy from the same litter and so we did, even though we should have known better. Fast forward now to him almost dying cause of her incapable and incompetent way of breeding and then her also having one of our own puppies die after a month of being in her care. Any rational person that cared about their puppies would not logically send another puppy to them to meet the same dismay. The new puppy/She is not going to a family that has already been shown to be incompetent in taking care of dogs. Nor somebody that wants to breed her for money and does not care about her or her well-being. When somebody has over 30 dogs and has them confined to 6 x 10 kennels their entire life along with feeding them horrific dog food because it is "inexpensive" as she put it, they are not fit to have dogs. They get rid of dogs that they have had for years for absolutely no reason but the fact that they are over them, when you take on a dog it is a lifelong commitment not something that after three years you decide you have used them enough for their puppies and you want something new.

This is a regular practice of them and not something that I will put any of my puppies or dogs through. They deserve a loving home in which they are going to be part of the family forever and not just used for breeding purposes and confined to live a life of dismay. On top of that, we are not sending puppies to a breeder that has shown an inability to properly care for dogs. The amount of puppies that die on their watch is abnormal and they think nothing of it. They have lost entire litters of puppies for unknown reasons and they never bothered to figure it out, AND still to this day regularly lose puppies and dogs to unknown causes. On top of losing life they regularly claim accidental pregnancies on females that aren't of age to breed, and to get away with it they sell the puppies without papers of any kind so no one is any wiser to what is occurring. She claims her female dogs got "raped" by other dogs which is the reason for the highly underage female becoming pregnant. Anyone that knows anything about dogs and breeding know that under no circumstances can a dog get raped by another dog for a million and one reasons that are too many to list in detail. It's just an idiotic excuse made up to try and get away with illegal breeding of underage females. If you doubt any of those claims we can provide documented proof of each statement we said via years of text messages from the owner and breeder herself. Further more damaging details will be revealed if such harassment continues to occur by her or any of her ill informed "friends." Also, when a breeder regularly states they hate certain unnamed dogs that are theirs... who in their right mind would send them a puppy. This world does not need anymore horrific crappy breeders that treat their dogs like a product and not a living breathing soul that depend on their owners to make the best life choices for them. At the end of the day they are nothing short of a typical breeder that uses their dogs and cares nothing about them. This little girl is the sweetest thing in the world and her love is a gift. A gift meant for a family that appreciates her and loves her for it and not just wants her because of a specific look to breed her into oblivion.

I apologize to anyone having to read all this being confused. This breeder and her friends have harassed us on our Facebook and personal pages to no end. The breeder payed absolutely nothing for this new puppy we refused her, not even a deposit. Even if one were paid, we reserve the right to decline a puppy to anyone who we find not fit to care for one. There was also no contract signed or agreed upon by neither party. Hopefully she can now find the loving home and family she truly deserves. It's also about time breeders are exposed for how they truly are and how they operate. I am also very proud to say we refused to let a puppy go to a horrific home. Very proud to save a puppy from a horrific life that she would of had. We are now going to upload all the text messages proving the said statements and exposing much worse on CKM Huskies. An unnamed source that worked at CKM Huskies said it best " someone needs to call the inspection board on her and have it be a surprise visit and not one she knows about in which she cleans up her act to fool the inspector." We also will now be filing a law suit for deformation of character and deformation of character on our business under false allegations. We look forward to the above person and Nicole Marshburn proving any of the claims they are trying to make. Making false allegations is illegal and you will pay for it in court. We can prove absolutely every ounce of everything stated here and look forward to sharing it with everyone and also the court system.. Those who breed in the way they do are not people we respect, nor do we respect anyone who supports the cruelty their animals endure. We also will be sending the printed out text messages of the illegal breeding practices of underage females to AKC and the state inspection office.
