Irina Barrett Canis Maximus Selling Sick starving danes,, with diease!!! forged VET documenation on Shot record Internet

I am readying to attend a county meeting regarding Canis Maximus Kennel and Irina Barrett at this moment.  It is to be held in Warrenton, VA at 2pm today (Feb 7, 2012).  Animal Control was contacted anonimously regarding Mrs. Barrett and her "kennel"  Mrs. Barrett did not request an inspection by the county and is currently, due to multiple inspections by animal control resulting from the anonymous tip, seeking a kennel license in Fauquier County, VA.  She did not seek this of her own volition.  She was forced into it by Animal Control.  To read the complete report filed regarding Mrs. Barrett see the following:

I find this report more than disturbing.  I lived in Broad Run, within 1/4 mile of Mrs. Barrett's home for 10 years.  I drive by her home/kennel every day.  I have seen dogs out in the yard literally a handful of times, and knowing she is a "breeder" this disturbed me no end.   I have shown and bred dogs for many years, having only occassional litters due to the time, effort, cost and energy required to do so responsibly.  Not to mention having good quality breeding stock.  You read the report and make your own decision.  Frankly, I am disgusted.

Read this article before buying from this "breeder."

She is applying for a kennel license in court TODAY. That means she was running her business ILLEGALLY. Below is an investigation from Jan. 12th of this year.

Melissa Shively (she uses many names and keeps changing her kennel name, one is gandmgreatdanes@yahoo.com) was refused the registration on her dogs that were sold on co-ownership with me, Irina Barrett, after she failed to provide the full payment + interest and gave me puppies with a. hernias, b. worms, c. undescended testicles, d. social issues.

After it was discovered that she fraudulently registered numerous litters out of these dogs, it was reported to AKC. Since then numerous post with the same content surfaced on the Internet trying to ruin my reputation.

I was inspected by AKC around the same time AKC received a report regarding Mrs. Shively. I requested inspection by the county sheriff department and animal control. I currently have all necessary reports, permits and licenses without any complaints. To this day, Mrs. Shively failed to provide any substantial proof and documentation of any of her accusations. She also failed to mention her name. Since she is the only one complaining, it is pretty clear what the real identity of the person posting is and how untrue her posts are.

In return, some info regarding Mrs. Shively. Only cowards hide their names and only cowards live their lives based on lies.

If any of this were true, people wouldn't be coming to me for their perfect companions :)

This is in regards to IRINA BARRETT a dog broker! The information provided is not any relation to any other business, rebuttal is correct forum... My rebuttal is against individual dog broker whom sold me a sick dog!

Kindest regards.

MAXIMUS Inc. is headquarters in Reston VA. The company is not a dog breeder nor does it sells  sick dogs. This complaint is being posted under the wrong forum. Please removed and repost.

thanks

 I wish I would have posted a complaint about this “breeder-importer” a long time before now. Maybe then more buyers would have been able to go elsewhere for a healthier dog.

I also purchased a puppy from her who was extremely thin and congested, but she assured me that the puppy was fine. When I picked up the puppy from her, she had blamed the congestion on the flight over, and her thin small size on the “idea” that she wasn’t liking/or used to the food she was eating at her home. But my vet confirmed differently. The puppy had severe case of an upper repository infection, and coccidia. Which was then spread to our other dogs in our home.

I would not recommend this “breeder-importer” at all! I don’t feel she puts enough care into her animals!! And the more I read about her, it is clear I am NOT the only one with this SAME story!! I advise buyers to do more research than I did, in hopes of getting a better puppy! Because she will continue to sell as long as people continue to buy from her!!!
