I met Alena several years ago when she helped and provided support for our adopted shelter puppy. I have since become well associated with Alena and Labradoodle Passions. I have had several years to get to know and work with her. This woman amazes me with her unconditional passion and devotion to her family and towards animals. She is well educated and experienced as a certified groomer, vet assistant, dog trainer and animal care aide worker. She has given her time and support to multiple SPCA functions and helped train and care for pets at the Animal Control Shelters and several vet clinics. Alena is a very gentle up front and honest mother and wife. She does not take part in or believe in bad mouthing, threatening or gossiping about other breeders or people. If you ask her a question over a matter she will respond honestly and from her heart. She will not mock or run down others or post false or misleading articles as Jamie Sheppard claims. Anything I have asked Alena regarding Jamie she answered truthfully and has shown me official legal documents sworn affidavits, signed letters and official emails to prove her innocence.

Alena is a quiet sweet loving lady with a history of helping and rescuing neglected or abuses dogs. I do believe her continued caring nature was what got her into this dispute and law suit to begin with. She tried to help a few dogs and a breeder that was tight on cash. In the end her kindness started this mess. I believe because she puts herself out on a limb way to often trying to help others leaves her more susceptible to bullies and abuse. I would recommend some assertive stills on Alena's part to deal with these kind of people.

I have learned of and witnessed many very competitive dog sales people and breeders. They have taken to bad mouthing as part of their approach to discredit others and boost their sales. I have witnessed Alena having to deal with rude phone calls, threatening emails and false postings like this. Jamie seems to have a personal vindictive nature to want to harm her and anyone associated to her. I have met several people now that have worked or had to deal with Jamie personally, former workers Gibson residents, It appears he enjoys causing hardship to many people not just Alena.

I understand the need for so many breeds and crosses. The wide range of human personalities and life styles requires a diversity in dog breeds. Alena taught me and explained her breeding philosophy behind home raised puppies vs. kennel raised pups. She has expressed many times her need to lend a helping hand in the dog world and not to mock or run down other breeders, to be open minded.

Alena does not support dogs that are neglected emotionally, that are left in a pen solely for breeding. As she has rescued abused and neglected dogs from kennel neglect in the past. Dogs that are emotionally abused and neglected in coat care and suffer from lack of human interaction.
Alena told me she respects the large amount of time that Jamie has put into building an open farm like kennel. That is why she placed a few dogs with him. Her dispute with him was not over his kennel buildings but over Mr. Sheppard not paying for dogs as agreed. It took her two and a half years to get the adoption fees she asked for. Alena had to sue him as he refused to pay for the dogs and follow the agreed signed contract.

She forwarded her Jamie file to me so I could read over it to try and make sense of what was happening between these two.
If Jamie won the court case that Alena filed, why would he have e-mailed her this? This is proving and catching Jamie in a lie.

Alena,
I realized after sending the e-mail from Kijiji that I could not save it. So, for the record, are you prepared to negotiate a settlement for the slander and defamation suit or shall I proceed with the litigation.
If you want Misty in lieu of the $1650.00 ordered yesterday please advise.
Jamie

Truly Alena is being WAY TO NICE and does not want to take part in Jamies petty name calling and childish postings. I want to share my experience over this matter and the false posting he has decided to spam the internet with. I do feel she is a victim to his endless hate crimes towards her. I can see that Alena is stuck in the middle of a dispute between another breeder and Jamie. People should be aware of what Jamie is doing to this girl and her family.

I have read several emails now were he has threatened and has bullied several women. This email was send to Holly at Westcoast Urban doodles, not labradoodle passion as Jamie believes and told multiple people.


Hi Alena, here is the letter you wanted regarding what Jamie Shepard said about you from Winsome kennels. when i had the conversation with him last year he was very angry and screaming at me. i was very scared of him. he said he was coming to my house with the police and having me arrested for the dog he said i stole. when i had the second conversation i told him i now knew who he was after asking you about the phone call and that he was the man that had not made payment for your dogs. Jamie said you had made the whole thing up and that you were crazy and insane. that you needed help and to watch out for you. this i didn't understand because why would you make this stuff up. and why would you be so upset with this situation knowing Misty was up at a kennel to be bred by someone who you thought was going to make good on his agreement. i'm very uncomfortable with this man. i don't want to talk to him again he scares me. so could you please ask that he is not allowed to contact me again. Holly

After reading pages of emails and complaints over this man, I believe he should go and have a medical evaluation and request help and some counseling. He appears to have some form of paranoia, were everyone is out to get him. He clearly is expressing an anger problem. He seems to twist what the true reality is with what he believes to be the truth. It is clear he feels or enjoys playing the poor victim routine and likes the attention is generates.

I have noticed comments posted over the internet about his kennel several times. Were Mr. Sheppard would have you believe Alena or Labradoodle Passion was behind it or writes Victoria breeder and later names her. As Alena does not breed golden doodles or breed dogs as a business, I don't see the threat of competition. Alena very rarely breeds dogs as labradoodles are a very small scale hobby of hers. She tends to help other breeders and rescue or help dogs in need. Labradoodle Passion has complete health records on the 3 to 5 dogs that are all placed in Guardian homes. I have seen her foster contracts and she only retains a few breedings not the multiple breeding and multiple dog breeds Mr. Sheppard claims. I have seen many links to pictures of Mr. Sheppard breeding his dogs every 6 months, and emails were entire litters have died at winsome kennels. These two breeders are very different I don't understand why Jamie feels the need to point fingers and cause problems.

Even with a signed sworn affidavit from another Victoria Golden Doodle breeder admitting in court she was responsible for the adds were Mr. Sheppard accused Alena of posting.
I do believe Mr. Sheppard would benefit from a receptionist to keep his facts and paper work in order. I can't help but wonder if the shear volume of his business is confusing him on who said what.


The court expert he talks about is Gary Gibson, info@customcanine.com www.customcanine.com This report was done 12/07/06 long before Winsome kennels expanded his kennel up to 80% of his land. It was not to be used outside the court case, and is not an up to date report but rather an old one.

Quote: Of the 5 1/2 acre lot, I have personally fenced about 50% of the 5 1/2 acre lot, which brings the total area for the dog runs to probably 80% of the property. At any one time, there are maybe 50 adults and the same in pups on the property.

The SPCA manager PW Ward was fired from the Sunshine coast SPCA. She was friends with Mr. Sheppard. The Sunshine coast SPCA has records of entire litters being surrendered by Jamie as Mr. Sheppard had to many puppies for kennel.

Winsome Kennels add 2008

JAMIE it's time to stop blaming others and take responsibility for your own actions and behavior.
It is clear you are a very disturbed person that wants to take down or cause hardship for anyone making it harder for you to sell your 500 puppies a year.

I'm not disputing his kennel but bringing attention to the false statements towards Alena.

More replies from Jamie over how his dogs are vet checked not tested!

Comments from a lady now suing Jamie for unpaid for dogs:

I don't have a problem with you selling your dogs but I really do have a problem with your innuendos and fear mongering. You are a very stupid woman if you think it is going to help your business by making people afraid to buy the breed. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Why don't you have your name posted to all the ads you have put in? Your business tactics leave a lot to be desired and I will be pointing that out to any potential clients. I will also point out that you seem to condemn people for making money off their breedings but I do have to wonder how you could possibly live in a house with as many large dogs as you seem to have as "family pets". What a hypocrite and a liar you are. I would be more than willing to tell you all of the above and more and I'm not afraid to sign my name.

False posting on ROR about Alena

AUTHOR: LP - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, August 15, 2010
On going matters over the slander posted on ROR and the court order to have the false statements removed. How ROR has handled the matter behind Jamie sheppards multiple false postings against Alena.
 
Jamie Sheppard died while being sentenced in court for jail. He was being in front of the judge for being held in contempt of court for not paying damages to another breeder to taking her dogs breeding them and not paying as agreed. Jamie was ordered several times to do the payments and he refused. He did not care about the law or who he scammed, he was truly a sick man in more ways than one.  I will post these comments for the public to see and to help them understand why the reports remains etc.

It does not matter responding good or bad to the comments posted on Rip Off Report as once the seed is planted and people wonder if it's true or not the damage is done. The laws for slander and defamation are the same in the US and Cdn.

The legal court order for Mr. Sheppard was to remove the listed names from public view based on the findings that it was false, and found to be slander and defamation of character would be the same in the US as in Canada. As Mr. Sheppard suffered a fatal heart attack while in court he will not be able to update his postings and remove the names. We are now contacting the owner of Rip Off Report that is responsible for keeping the site up and running and available for public view to assist us in the removal of the names.  The order was granted based on the conditions that the postings were found to be slander and defamation of character and false. Which is against your posting policies and grants the removal based on this alone. As the owner or worker of ROR that is responsible for keeping the site updated, regulated and posting reports to the server we request that they receive this massage in full. We are requesting that this person responsible for making the reports available for public view to grant the legal court order based on the nature of the findings.

We thank you in advance and appreciate your understanding plus cooperation over this matter.

Jamie Sheppards continue false posting towards others is disturbing this man needs to get help

AUTHOR: Ted - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, December 06, 2009

In my opinion, it's very clear this man needs to see someone about his behavior.

He continues to story tell and post false statements, slander and cause defamation towards others. His reactions fueled by hate are disturbing.  If he could only get his head out of his asswhole for long enough maybe he then could think straight. Blaming and posting against others for what is happening at his own kennel is also very disturbing.

I do believe all his postings are reflecting on what is happening at his own kennel and life. He is trying to blame others and hide the truth to what is happening in his own life.  

It is clear this man is troubled and would benefit by getting some professional help. With his lengthy problems, police reports, court case against him and so many upset people this man needs to look at himself for why is this happening? Its people reactions to Jamie Sheppard own behavior.

I do think he needs to look into mental disorders. He clearly has a childhood history of abuse or neglect that has led him into a life of abusing others.  This man needs to stop and look with in himself to heal his life. For his family, he needs to stop taking advantage of people. Pay his fines, and get help.

PARANOID

We've probably all heared of the word paranoid. It means that a person is overly worried or suspicious of other people. People with a Paranoid Personality Disorder tend to think that other people are deliberately putting them down or are out to get them. They react really badly when they have setbacks in their lives and often bear grudges, or believe in conspiracies against them that are clearly not backed up in fact.

DISSOCIAL (ANTISOCIAL)

These people don't have any regard or compassion for other people. They seem to have no idea of responsibility or the proper way to behave. Their behavior is usually very antisocial and they tend to get very frustrated and very angry quickly. They can and do set up relationships with other people but they cannot keep them going, and they do not seem able to feel guilt or learn from any punishment (from the law or otherwise) that they might receive.

Jamie's second rebuttal

AUTHOR: Jamie - (Canada)

POSTED: Thursday, January 29, 2009

I posted the truth and anyone who visits our kennel can see for themselves what we are about.
We have employees working here for a couple of years and are dedicated professionals.
Now their campaign is to harass anyone who supports our kennel including innocent bystanders.
When someone posts a thread they attest to the report being true. These malicious blatant lies written in the numerous threads make a mockery of the forum that posts them.

Alena Strelaeff continues to defend her name regarding Mr. Sheppards false statements.

AUTHOR: Laurie - (Canada)

POSTED: Saturday, January 24, 2009

I wrote Alena to inform her once again of Jamies posting against her. This is what I learned.

(Jamie writes= I will address several misleading statements you made. Often, people enter into deals with different understandings of the same contract. I bought a Poodle from Alena and sent it back for breeding as agreed upon in the contract on a couple of occasions. On one such occasion, Alena claimed the dog wasn't groomed properly, that I had therefore broken the contract and she was keeping the dog.)

Description of bought or buying a dog:
Definition


To obtain ownership of a security or other asset in exchange for money or value. also called buy. READ JAMIE

She informs me that Mr. Sheppard never paid or exchanged any items or funds for the standard poodle she offered Jamie. Alena kept the poodle after 6 months of many promises for payments that never arrived. When the poodle was returned in poor coat condition she decided to investigage Jamie and made some calls.

She quicky learned what she feared he has a history for not paying. The lady she contacted used to work with Mr. Sheppard in the past. The lady was very disappointed he did the same thing to her and with in two weeks of the police helping her get her dog back he moves on to strike again. She told Alena WHY DIDN'T CALL BEFORE!! This other breeder offered winsome kennels her stud dog under the agreement that she would get pick of litter puppy from each breeding or a reduced stud fee. After a year of no payments from Mr. Sheppard and no returned calls. She called the police and had her dog recovered. He was returned in poor coat condition as well. Sets of pictures from both these ladies exist showing the stud poodles coming from Winsome kennels matted and with sores.

Court documents show that the airline pilot admitted he wasn't even sure he worked that day as he was a new pilot for Tofino Air. The manager even admitted to patting the poodle on his back but not inspecting his health or coat condition. That she was not qualified on dogs fur or grooming needs.

I have read reports over this poodles condition in question. The poodles coat condition was documented and pictures taken by a Qualified Certified groomer, vet and breeders on Vancouver Island and other witnesses.
This was proven in court, and was not denied by the judge. Witness letter provided further down on this page.

The law suit Alena vs. Jamie. The court records show The judge ruled over the clause regarding breach of contract over the poodles coat condition was to vague. As the contract did not state that the dog needed to be groomed every 6 to 8 weeks but was worded to be kept regularly groomed. The judge could not rule either way over this matter. This matter on his coat would of had to been dealt with by the SPCA. Mr. Sheppard would of been given a warning and if he failed to fix the problem he would of been charged with animal abuse.

Mr. Sheppard admitted that the dog was due to be groomed but could not get him into the groomers. If Mr. Sheppard was so confident on never having any matted dogs at his kennel then surely he would of brought his groomer to court and had her provide her salons grooming notes for all Winsome Kennels dogs.

The Judge awarded Alena the right to keep her dog. Mr. Sheppard claim for the dog back was denied simple because he never paid for him. Alena was not able to claim unjust enrichment for the 8 additional stud services as Mr. Sheppard had agreed to purchase the poodle after the first two breedings while at his Kennel.

Jamie Sheppard continues to this day to blame others for his actions and not take responsibility for what he did.

Is Jamie Sheppard profittinig thousands of dollars off of dogs not even owned by him? Are these puppies that he is selling even his, can people be sued for the dogs they are buying from him? I guess he knows the system well and knows how to profit from it. I do believe he has a pattern here for taking dogs and not paying for them.
I have heard he has quite the high turn over for employees a big reason was he didn't pay them. Feeling sorry for dogs being treated life wild wolves. Bred every six months, hundreds of dogs and puppies that are crying and barking to get of off the kennels and loved by people.


(Jamie writes = I had bought the dog and there was nothing wrong with how the dog was groomed and she wouldn't return it I held back payment for two stud services she had provided.)

Two stud services that were to be paid by the time the puppies were 8 weeks old. 6 months later no payment. Jamie agreed to this and signed a contract which I saw. The judge awarded Alena for these breedings.


(Jamie writes = identally, the airline that flew the Poodle testified in court that if the dog was in the condition she claimed they would have never accepted to fly him. Fortunately for me the airline manager had come outside and had taken the time to pet the poodle.)

Air line manager admits in court patting the dog when it arrived. I have read three different statements over this managers contact with the dog now. The story keeps changing surely its not that hard to remember the truth.

(Jamie writes = Alena had claimed he was covered in fecal matter and all matted.)

Alena has stated THE DOG SMELLED LIKE FECAL MATTER, and was matted. That Jamie even admitted to this. Jamie writes his coat was like this because the other kennel dogs running in dirt, sand and stepping in poop then jumping on each other.

The poodle arrived from Jamie as stated below by the lady and breeder that picked him up for Alena. The four people in the truck could not believe it was the same dog they had seen before. The dog smelled so bad they had to leave him in the crate in the back of the truck.

See letter from them:

To whom it may concern:


I'm writing in regards to the condition of Dusty AKC registered Poodle that was shipped from Winsome Kennels to Nanaimo on April 10 by Tofino Air. Alena had asked me if I was able to help her to pick up Dusty from Nanaimo. Alena had told me she wouldn't of been able to make the long drive to the sea plane and be their in time to pick Dusty up. I was willing to help Alena and picked Dusty up for her. I contacted her the first night I had him, to let her know what I was seeing: explain and that he seemed to be uncomfortable in the condition he was in.

I had several people with me when I picked him up that witnessed his smell and condition. Names and contact #'

I bathed Dusty twice to try to remove the odor urine and fecal matter that we could smell on him. We were able to clean him up to the best of my ability but he still needed further professional grooming to remove the heavy matt's. I delivered Dusty to Alena where she bathed him again and continued to groom him.

We had met Dusty while he lived at Alenas back in the Summer 2006. We thought he was a white dog, he was so clean and well groomed. We couldn't believe this was the same dog when we picked him up on April 10. He was not as out going as when we first met him, he was shy and unsure of himself. He appeared to lack human contact, and his coat condition was in very neglected shape. It was clear he wasn't being groomed and kept in clean quarters to be so dirty and smelly.


Mr. Sheppard has since hired a groomer and bought dog clippers to care for the dogs living at winsome kennels. A positive outcome for sure is that Mr. Sheppard has learned he was in need of a groomer and grooming equipment.

(Jamie writes = Alena sued me for $25,000 claiming ownership of the puppies from the 2 unpaid breedings and I countered sued over the business deal that went sour.)

Alena sued for Travel expenses to the sunshine coast, two unpaid stud fee's from her poodle, the remaining purchase price from an labradoodle and the unjust enrichment for the 8 other breedings Jamie used off of her stud poodle.

The court awarded Alena the right to keep her stud dog. Over awarding Mr. Sheppard owner ship or replacement value to the stud dog. Alena proved in court the poodle was in fact owned by her. That Jamie never paid for the dog as promissed. She was also awarded the two stud services and the money owed for the labradoodle. The judge did not awarded her the 8 other breedings as Mr. Sheppard had agreed to purchase the poodle before the breedings had taken place.

(Jamie writes = judge's ruling was a split decision awarding Alena $2700 and awarding me $950.00 leaving a balance of $1650.00 and not awarding Alena the $1600.00 she claimed for expenses. Alana's net gain after a two day trip from Vancouver Island to Sechelt Provincial Court was $50.00.) Note Jamie mocks Alena repeated over grammar and spelling but has multiple spelling errors. It is not common typing errors!! (Alana's misspelled)

(Jamie writes = I ended up with a Labradoodle and 4 puppies. Certainly, in my eyes, this was a well deserved victory. How you think I could be upset with this ruling baffles me. I e-mailed Alena offering her back her Labradoodle because she claimed in court how much the dog meant to her and had posted pretty much the same thing on her website although she claimed on her site I had stolen the dog. Interesting how her position changed outside of the court.)

Jamie offers Alena once she arrives back in Victoria to come and the labradoodle in trade of the court ordered payment awarded to Alena. Mr. Sheppard also sends an email offering to settle the supreme court action brought on by Mr. Sheppard against Alena for speaking up over this matter. He asks for a one time settlement of $25,000 over the $100,000 he originally filed for over a year ago.

Jamie offers Misty and her puppies to Alena on the first day of trail as he claims he can't sell them and she is a horrible mother. On day two the judge asks him about is offer to give Misty and her puppies to Alena. Mr. Sheppard changes his mind and decides he wants to keep them. The judge rules over the matter of Misty and her puppies. She orders Mr. Sheppard to pay for the labradoodle as no agreement could be met between the two parties.

Three weeks after trail Alena has not received court ordered payment. Alena's has to get her lawyer to get payment for the court ordered settlement.

(Jamie writes = Regarding Holly,
My countersuit was based on the fact that Alena was in possession of a dog that belonged to me. When I called Alena to inquire were my dog was she said she had given him to her friend Holly and gave me her number. I was upset when I called because Holly was being evasive. I pointed out that she was in possession of my dog and if she didn't return the dog I would be coming over with the police.)

Alena was contacted by a lady that purchased a dog from Mr. Sheppard. She was promised if her daughter reacted to the golden doodle she could send the dog back. The lady's daughter had a horrible allergic reaction and broke out in hives!. Mr. Sheppard refused to take the dog back as promised by Jamie if her daughter reacted. The lady was able to find Alenas name through contacting other breeders for help. Alena has helped many homeless dogs and dogs in need over the years and opened her home again to another puppy.

Alena agreed out of the goodness of her heart to take the puppy until this lady could resolve the problem or find the puppy a new home. The puppy was at Alena's home for a day and a half and was given to Holly.

Holly and Alena new each other through a dog Alena had placed years earlier. Holly agreed to take the golden doodle puppy and try him. She also reacted to the dog and placed an ad and gave the dog away.

Jamie claims three weeks after selling this puppy the credit card payment was reversed, but never showed any proof. As Alena had taken this puppy she was held accountable for the money Mr. Sheppard claimed was owed. Since Mr. Sheppard was awarded the purchase price for a male golden doodle her travel expenses were not granted. The puppy she helped find a home for ended up costing her $3000. $3000 for a dog that she never received any money for.
A puppy that was given to her, that she gave away. Just like the puppies Mr. Sheppard is giving away again, Free puppies from winsome kennels but are they really free. or will you end up having to pay for them?

(Jamie writes = You have stated from what Alena has sent you that I am paranoid and need medical help. I didn't see any credentials stating your degree in Psychology. I'm sure educated readers will see you're biased so there isn't anything more to say on this point.)

It is not hard to see that trouble follows Mr. Sheppard, proof of this is in this long history with in the courts.
This matter started well before Alena met him in 2007

Court cases dating back to 1999 eight years before Alena offered dogs for sale to Jamie


(Jamie writes = What are childish are the numerous ads and threads written by Alena because anyone can see who has the issues. It is quite normal for someone to respond to unfounded attacks on their livelihood and that is exactly what I did. The slanderous campaign by Alena has gone on for two years. You just have to look at the dates and then my responses to see who started and who is disturbed.
Anyone looking at the postings can see they are targeted by the same person.)

I had a lady that used to work for Jamie describe him as a person that believes his own stories. A person that sees with only tunnel vision. That he only hears or believes what he wants and things to be the truth. That he thrives from any attention no matter what it might be. He likes being in the spot light.

He often talks about poor me, I have to look after my sick second wife. To find out she is a drinker a commom problem with natives. It is also common for abuse with native people. With statistics showing 100% of native women are abuse at some point in their lives.

Jamie Sheppard was ordered by court not to expand his kennel but clearly states how his kennel is getting larger. This shows his disregard to following rules or the law.

(Jamie writes = I might add that the numerous grammar errors in your statement are consistent with the same poor grammar skills Alena shows in her ads.
Since the court recognized expert's report we have increased the size of the runs and fenced in 2 - 1/2 acre runs with 3 ponds in one of them for the dogs. We have improved the kennel once again. What is your point regarding this expansion! Now you are knocking our improvements.)

Again Jamie says Alena mocks his kennel. Which does not make sense as I have heard Alena state many times if she felt his kennel was so bad she would of never send her dogs to him. That from what she saw on his web site it looked nice. She was not aware of the number of dogs he owns as he does not list them all and at that time he did not have pictures of the kennel in the ground.

He is so quick to point fingers and point blame away from him. Thousands of people disagree with kennels but according to him the only person is Alena.

(Jamie writes = In the beginning to think you had some help from Alena writing this thread. You state that Ms. Ward was fired and that she was a friend of mine. How did you come to these conclusions? First, it is my understanding she went on stress leave and then quit. Second, I met the woman 2 or 3 times. One of those occasions was when Alena falsely reported that the dogs were all matted at my kennel. She made this claim in hopes of getting support for her frivolous claim in court. The field report from the SPCA stated that none of the 50 dog's coats were matted. In fact, she praised me for running such a wonderful kennel.)

If Jamie wasn't friends how would he know Ms. Ward details over leaving the SPCA. The report that Ms. Wards name was on was never signed or official. The new SPCA manager noted that several dogs had just been shaved the day they inspected his kennel. The SPCA manager had an appt to view the kennel around mid day. He has all morning to prepair for an inspection. That they never saw the poodle in question 6 weeks before this sceduled appt. As it has been just shy of two months since the matted dog left, Jamie has plenty of time to clean up his kennel.

(Jamie Writes = You copied an ad where I am giving away 7 puppies. Where is the crime in this?
January is always slow so we thought it would be nice to give away some puppies.
I guess this bothered Alena because I posted the ad on Vancouver Island where she sells her dogs.)

This is how he tries to draw attention away from myself and his kennel by drawing attention some where else. Their is several golden doodle breeders on the island. Two in Ladysmith, one in Nanaimo, one is Parkville, Two in Comox, One in Mill Bay two in Victoria.
Alena does not even breed golden doodles, Why Jamie continues to blame her is proving the tunnel vision the past worker describes.


(Jamie writes = At the end you talk about another person suing me for unpaid dogs. You really are starting to sound like Alena. The person and I are partners in a group of 4 dogs. She refuses to pay for her half the up keep so I refuse to give her 1/2 the puppies. We will see how the Judge rules but I suspect I will win this court case as well.)

Proof that he is in another law suit, that his behaviour or actions has resulted in many law suits.

Shows Jamies nature and pleasure he takes in mocking others. After Alena's and Jamies court case, Jamie called some of her witnesses and laughed on the phone, or commended Justice Prevailed and huge up. Call display showed his number, and was pictured and documented.


I can not believe what his person has put this poor women through and to this day continues to cause problems for her. I do encourage people to visit the kennel, as the last lady that contacted me cried on the phone after what she saw.


Jamie needs to stop and look in the mirror and ask himself this. Why are so many people suing me!

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Who is misleading the public?

AUTHOR: Jamie - (Canada)

POSTED: Friday, January 16, 2009

Well Laurie, it's nice to know Alena has a friend who thinks so highly of her.
Unfortunately, my experience has not been the same.

I will address several misleading statements you made. Often, people enter into deals with different understandings of the same contract. I bought a Poodle from Alena and sent it back for breeding as agreed upon in the contract on a couple of occasions. On one such occasion, Alena claimed the dog wasn't groomed properly, that I had therefore broken the contract and she was keeping the dog.
As I had bought the dog and there was nothing wrong with how the dog was groomed and she wouldn't return it I held back payment for two stud services she had provided. Incidentally, the airline that flew the Poodle testified in court that if the dog was in the condition she claimed they would have never accepted to fly him. Fortunately for me the airline manager had come outside and had taken the time to pet the poodle. Alena had claimed he was covered in fecal matter and all matted.
Alena sued me for $25,000 claiming ownership of the puppies from the 2 unpaid breedings and I countered sued over the business deal that went sour.
The Judge's ruling was a split decision awarding Alena $2700 and awarding me $950.00 leaving a balance of $1650.00 and not awarding Alena the $1600.00 she claimed for expenses. Alana's net gain after a two day trip from Vancouver Island to Sechelt Provincial Court was $50.00. I ended up with a Labradoodle and 4 puppies. Certainly, in my eyes, this was a well deserved victory. How you think I could be upset with this ruling baffles me. I e-mailed Alena offering her back her Labradoodle because she claimed in court how much the dog meant to her and had posted pretty much the same thing on her website although she claimed on her site I had stolen the dog. Interesting how her position changed outside of the court.
Regarding Holly,
My countersuit was based on the fact that Alena was in possession of a dog that belonged to me. When I called Alena to inquire were my dog was she said she had given him to her friend Holly and gave me her number. I was upset when I called because Holly was being evasive. I pointed out that she was in possession of my dog and if she didn't return the dog I would be coming over with the police.
You have stated from what Alena has sent you that I am paranoid and need medical help. I didn't see any credentials stating your degree in Psychology. I'm sure educated readers will see you're biased so there isn't anything more to say on this point.
What are childish are the numerous ads and threads written by Alena because anyone can see who has the issues. It is quite normal for someone to respond to unfounded attacks on their livelihood and that is exactly what I did. The slanderous campaign by Alena has gone on for two years. You just have to look at the dates and then my responses to see who started and who is disturbed.
Anyone looking at the postings can see they are targeted by the same person.
