Illustrating this organization's credibility and integrity |
Zion Faith of
Mystic Morn practicing with her owner for herding trial. |
M.B. came to my house
on Jan. 9, 2005 to take possession of two female Shiloh Shepherds that Linda
co-owned with Lisa. Since they had been raised in a loving home, their "mom"
wanted to be assured that they would have a private home where they could
run free in the woods and play like they did during the two years that they
lived with her! Both bitches were fully tested, ready for final ISSR
breeding papers and about to come into heat.
Faith had already obtained both
her Herding Capabilities Test and her Junior Herding Dog Titles, presented
by the American Herding Breed Association.
It was the deal of the century. Instead of having to wait for pups to grow
up and gamble that they would be able to pass all of their breeding
requirements, she was being provided with instant satisfaction. She would
even get a free stud service to both bitches; all she had to do to "pay" off
her contract was to provide half of the first litter (minimum of three pups)
back to Lisa/Tina Barber.
M.B. excitedly talked about her pups on our (paid for by Tina) forums and
was flooded with calls from potential buyers. However, when it was time to
bring the pups back to New Zion for their LER she chose "not" to show up.
Instead, since she had already sold all of her pups, she chose to pursue
getting litter papers from the NSBR.
I wonder who she names as the sire and how a "registry" could
possibly register a litter without the stud owner's signature or even proof
that particular breeding occurred.
She presently advertises those dogs on her website as being Genesis' Faith
of Zion and Genesis Hope although their ISSR papers clearly state that they
were registered as
Zion Faith of Mystic Morn and
Zion's Hope of Mystic Morn.
[Note that these documents were intentionally
blurred to prevent further theft of TCCP/ISSR documentation.]
Maybe it's because she could not get "papers"
for the real dogs (named above) because they did not belong to her as can
clearly be seen by anyone that looks at the back (transfer part) of the
registrations. Both
Faith and
Hope were signed over to her and Lisa Barber at the
time she received physical possession of them. She understood that she would
not be given full rights to them until the co-ownership contract was
fulfilled.
Is this the way an honest "registry" operates? Just issues a
"certificate" for dogs/puppies that have no legitimate documentation?
You be the judge.
The third case is even more bizarre.
In early August 2003 C.B. came to visit New Zion and spotted a male puppy
that Lisa was planning to keep.
Due to the busy schedule Lisa has to deal with prior to and during
Homecoming, she agreed to let C.B. take the pup home for a few weeks to
"show" train him for her. C.B. did bring him back for Homecoming and
showed him for Lisa. Unfortunately he was winning all of the prizes and
she was hooked.
That's when she asked Lisa if she could take him home again for a few weeks
so she could show him at the next Canada show, at which time Lisa could have
him back. Against her better judgment (Lisa did not like the idea), I chose
to release him back to C.B., assuming that since he was micro chipped and
fully ISSR registered it would be safe to trust her.
[Note that this document was intentionally blurred to prevent
further theft of TCCP/ISSR documentation.]
Fooled again! Shortly after she got back to
Canada, C.B. informed us that she was not bringing Thunder to the show as
planned, because her family was too "attached" to him. We were also informed
that since she was in Canada that there was nothing we could do about it and
that she could even change his name and apply for registration papers in
another 'registry.'
Now he is listed on her site as being a NSBR registered dog named Keystone's
Jasper Jax O'Zion even though she is still using all of Thunder's other
information, like sire and dam, date of birth etc. She is even using
our kennel name! Interesting?
How can a "registry" issue a certificate for any dog without proper
proof of ownership?
Is this even the same dog? I realize that puppies can change a lot, but I
have sincerely questioned this one from the pictures I have seen of what he
supposedly looks like now? Who is he? Why is he registered as a Megan son?
What kind of proof of ancestry/ownership (if any) was submitted to the NSBR?
After considering these three cases, I can only conclude that the NSBR just
prints off papers that "match" what the person wants them to say.
What kind of monkey business is this?
