Deanne Bohn is listing her stud JOJO as having Champion Lines. He does not. I have his Pedigree as proof. I used him as a stud. She also states she has tiny type shihtzus. JoJo is about 14 lbs and pruduces imbibical hernias. I know it is coming from her lines. I found this out when I breed my Molly to my new stud and they have no hernias. I have seen him. He is not 10 lbs or a tiny type as she states. My Molly is 10 lbs. Her biggest puppy from JoJo ended up to be 16 lbs. I have seen Molly's parents and they are on the small side like molly. So don't be fooled by her Like I was. She is also talking bad about other breeders she does not know to make her self look good.
Buyer Beware.

Let The Facts Be Known

AUTHOR: Heidi - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, February 17, 2007

--------------------------
I would like to put this to the public review for a judge and jury situation if you will. Let the public decide what has been proven and what remains a mystery once and for all.
Fact#1:
The only person posting negative comments about Deanna here is you Sharon of Starz Puppy Paw Prints in Dixon,Illinois.
Fact #2:
You have stated that Deanna has no consumer feedback left on the Puppyfind website where she in fact does list her puppies. Please read YOUR posting below:
-----------------------
Very Good Stud
Deanna is a very good breeder. I have had my dog bred to Jojo. He is such a beautiful shihtzu. He produces very nice healthy puppies in all colors. He and my female had 7 beautiful puppies. I have choosen to have my female bred to JoJo again. Deanna is very happy to answer any questions you may have. She has great communication through phone calls and e-mail. I would highly recommend JoJO as a stud.

Reviewer: Sharon, October 1, 2005

Fact#3:
You say that you have an audio tape of this so called forgery of records left on an answering machine by Deanna herself and have been instructed by another consumer on how to post this info. Yet you have not. I emplore you PLEASE post the audio tape that you have so that perhaps we could believe what you are saying is in fact true.

Fact#4:
You have posted to a web site in which you want to leave your opinion. Fine you have done that and continued to point out the same thing over and over and over again. But yet you offer no proof what so ever. Last I checked the copy and paste works well on any computer.

Fact#5:
I never stated that you said I HID records. I stated that Deanna has never HID records from anyone including yourself and any potential client. Please re read the statement before you post.

Fact#6:
You yourself have numerous complaints from several people on the ripoff report under Starz Puppy Pawprints. None of these postings are from myself or Deanna.

Fact#7:
You have the audacity to call be a racist? Here is the definition for your review:
noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races

I fall into none of theae categories thank you. I simply cannot tolerate ignorance.In MY OPINION you are in fact ignorant because you fail to comprehend that you are doing exactly what you accused Deanna of doing in the initial report - "bad mouthing other breeders".

Here is the definition of ignorance for you:
ignorance /ˈɪgnərəns/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ig-ner-uhns] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
noun the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.
ignorance (ĭg'nər-əns) Pronunciation Key
n. The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

That is what I am intolerant of. You fail to see the obvious and for that I cannot help you.
If it is in fact the purpose of rip off report to let people know of your dealings with Deanna - then fine we have all heard you. But the extra drama that you feel is necessary is getting absurd.

Fact#8:
You stated that Deanna had the IRS investigate you or your records. What proof do you have? Did someone call and state that she herself turned you in or are you once again assuming things. Because you know what they say about assuming.
Please Sharon again I emplore you show some proof to any one of the statements that you are trying so hard to make public information.
Until I see the proof- knowing that Mary has also posted positive info and I have had only positive feedback-I have a hard time believing that Deanna is what you are trying to make her out to be.
I respect the fact that you have an opinion - I truly do. But you are insistant on remarking on things that frankly have nothing to do with her breeding ability.

Fact#9:
Your posting on the Puppyfind website says it all for many people. You obviously had some type of fall out with Deanna. You went from referring her to deferring from her. That is your business. I personally would have never even responded to this as I stated many postings ago - but it irritates me to see people using this site to say to another human being publically what they could not say personally and professionally.

Fact#10 - final comment:
You have pointed out a lot of things Sharon - none of them proven. This in a court of law would be hearsay. Fine this is not a court of law - BUT - if you are going to post - at least make yourself sound convincing-not like you are some type of raving lunatic. Furthermore I would like to point out the OBVIOUS- you have never once questioned or commented on the quality of Deanna's dogs. Only that one of them did not meet your liking on their weight. If this is what the average person looking for in a Shih-tzu -which I have a hard time believing is true- than fine point taken. But no proof was presented. If this weightis not their primary focus on puchasing a puppy than I think you owe them an apology for wasting their time. People are looking for good quality, loving, well socialized puppies and Deanna does in fact provide these types of Shih-tzus. You have never disputed that fact even when I mentioned it in previous postings. People want a pet - they are not buying into a relationship with Deanna. They buy their dog and go on. Period. As far as studding - they let their dog mate and go home to await the puppies and collect the money for them. Period. You obviously got way more involved than that and simply because TWO people cannot get along due to diffent personalities or whatever - leaves you both 50/50 responsible. However I would like to add that only one who in my OPINION is being the more responsible person here is Deanna. She is not posting to this website to try and slander you Sharon. Get over the fact that you do not have a relationship with Deanna anymore. Stop sounding like a bitter revengful person and be done with it. The public will read all of this and decide for themselves.
I know that I certainly have.

Heidi, you are the ignorant racist here!

AUTHOR: Sharon - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 09, 2007

My intentions here are to let others know my experience with Deanna.

I initially stated to stay away from Deanna but now want to let others know stay away from you.
But I clearly think that anyone who has a brain who reads your replies from you will obviously know that already.

I never resorted to very immature name calling towards you nor Deanna. But I am sick of your racist remarks! The world would be a better place without racist a** like yourself.

It is obvious you have trouble comprehending things b/c I never said you hid records. Let me put it in plan English so your pea brain can understand it/(you forge records for Deanna)as Deanne has told this to a ex friend (which this conversation was recorded). I wonder how the vet would feel if he knew that you were doing this.

As for the 10 Pedigree on Jojo, I do have that, they are not impossible to get. (get a clue but I am not about to give you one).

Well not much has changed you still cannot spell and still sound ignorant.

AUTHOR: Heidi - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 09, 2007

I do not know who you are but let me point out that you are correct in the statement that I have access to Deanna's records. I have also provided those records to anyone of Deanna's potential puppy buyers that have requested them. She has never hid those records from anyone.That is why she lists her vet as a reference. As do most reputable breeders. Are you that psychotic to think that Deanna has had someone alter her vet records? You truly need help. So before you start running your redneck uneducated mouth, why don't you actually post something that is a fact? Not your twisted perception of what you THINK but have no proof of being a fact. Stop wasting everyone's time. The points that you try to make are completely irrelevant. I am a grown adult and can form my own opinion of Deanna. I never remember asking for you to personalize what you feel I should do. I certainly don't need the likes of you telling me what I should or should not do. Perhaps I formed my own opinion on your credibility by reading the many postings on your integrity. Which by the way I might point out the FACT that Deanna has no one else posting about her to this site but YOU! You cannot say the same about people - several- who have posted about your practices now can you? After so many postings and attempts to point out the obvious - you still CANNOT EVEN SPELL HER NAME CORRECTLY! IT IS DEANNA - you moron - with an A - not an E. Learn how to spell and use proper typing techniques - including spelling and then maybe you will have an ounce of a chance to have an intelligent argument with me.Until then your attempts are futile and frankly I find them rather humorous. Thanks for another laugh - and for you setting a fine example of why some animals eat their young!!!
Have a wonderful day. Please remember that you should not let your mouth write checks that your a$$ can't cash.

Can't Deanne defend Herself!

AUTHOR: Sharon - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, February 08, 2007

Heidi:
I know that you have access to the vet records. Deanne has told someone on a answering machine tape that you(heidi)will forge any documents for her.

I see Deanne can't defend herself she has everyone else doing it,Like always.
I would not believe this women she is not an very honest women. Like I said if will change (forge)vet records for people if asked. That only shows what type of person she really is. Not the tpye of person I would want to deal with.

You never see Deanne's past puppies listed and she does not have any reviews on puppyfind. I find that odd. Nor are any listed on her site.
Deanne also has tried to sue and accually has taken a friend to court over a $4 toll way fee and $12-14 pet taxi among other petty things. Believe me when I say Deanne is NOT the tpye of person you would not want to have ANY Contact with. She even tried to turn me into the IRS. Funny thing is they found out THEY owed me money back. Thank you Deanne by the way... She made threats to others she will do the same if gets "MAD" at them for some off the wall reason.. This is how phyco she really is.

Deanna Bohn is responsible, friendly, caring and honest

AUTHOR: Mary - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, February 08, 2007

I've been dealing with Deanna Bohn from Bohn's Shih Tzu's for two months. I recently purchased a Shih Tzu from somebody other then Deanna. The puppy was very sick, and the breeder I purchased him from was less then helpful. When looking for breeders I remembered Deanna because she was knowledgeable, very concerned about the breed and took the time to answer all my questions even though she didn't have puppies available.

Deanna would call to see how our puppy was doing daily, and would offer suggestions to get him to eat. Deanna had nothing to gain from our lengthy, daily conversations not to mention our countless emails. Sadly to say, even with all our efforts, the puppy had to be euthanized.

My young children were hurting and confused. Deanna sent a picture of her deceased dog that she had for many years. She included a note that said her dog was in heaven too and would take care of our puppy and even give him horsy rides. Deanna is not your average breeder. She doesn't have to tell me that she cares, because her actions speak louder then words.

Nothing could replace our puppy, but a puppy was promised to our children. We went to Deanna's home, met her, her children, her dogs, and the puppy that would soon be ours. Her dogs all had sweet temperaments, and were kept in her home to roam free just as she said. I've seen the male that was referred to, and considering my 2 year old could pick him up, I believe you have mistaken about his weight. This would have been a great opportunity for her to speak badly of other breeders, but she didn't. Deanna was very professional.

I would gladly speak to anybody who is seeking a reference. In fact I would encourage you to seek references from any breeder to give yourself peace of mind, and to avoid the emotional loss as well as the financial burden that could potentially befall you and your family.

Remarks about Bohn's Shihtzus completely FALSE

AUTHOR: Heidi - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, November 30, 2006

Being a breeder myself I have personally used JoJo as a stud and I have a copy of his pedigree as well.He does in fact have champion bloodlines.If JoJo was used as your stud, you obviously did not care whether he was a champion or not.Being as I am a responsible breeder as well as Deanna.I asked for copies of JoJo's vet records, and he does in fact weigh 11 lbs. Any experienced breeder such as Deanna and myself can actually spell "umbilical hernia" and know that they are caused from the mother aggressively pulling at the umbilical cord, not genetically! Apparently you have a very inexperienced or anxious female if in fact you did have umbilical hernias...and exactly where were you in the birthing process to prevent this? Animals are only as experienced as there breeding owners.My question to you is why would you even breed your 10 lb female to a 14 lb. male? Isn't that risky? Or do you just not care? I have used JoJo several times with my female, and never produced this so-called giant puppy and never had one over 11 lbs."Deanna Bohn" is the correct spelling of her name and she is a wonderful shihtzu breeder who dedicates her time and effort into producing well socialized, high quality, family raised puppies with many repeat customers. I personally have had Deanna refer people to me and assisted them in finding another shihtzu breeder when she had none of her own puppies available. I have never heard Deanna slander another shihtzu breeder nor does she have the lack of integrity to do so. I do not like the fact that people can use this website to post unproven facts or simply hateful statements to defer people from purchasing puppies from honest breeders.
