Who is this Kijsha?

According to the documentation packet that Gaby submitted, she is the daughter of "Starlight Melody".

Her sire is listed as Neshoba, a 45.62% Wolf but there is no other information available. 

I explored every resource I could think of to help me trace this "Anita Cote" that is listed as the owner/breeder but was unable to uncover any additional information.

Her dam is listed as CIENNA, a 75.68% wolf HYBRID.

If you apply standard wolf hybrid calculations then you must assume that Melody is 60.65% wolf .

I have to seriously question the other calculations provided since in reality, each cub will inherit a much wider variety of "percentage/traits" from each parent--as well as grandparents, etc.

Assuming this pedigree IS accurate, the person unknowingly purchasing puppies out of this line, not realizing they had such a dangerously high probability for passing on undesirable wolf traits, could be stepping into some potentially serious problems.

Wolf-dog breeders can tell you that their cubs can carry many strong characteristics for several generations, until the "percentage" is sufficiently diluted to a safer level (most state below 3.25%) while others continue to insist that even those pups can still display some extreme behavioral characteristics.

You can do a generalized calculation by taking Melody (listed as 60.65% on this certificate) and claiming that she was bred to a GSD ... but it is still going to show KIJSHA as being over 30% WOLF! Therefore, her puppies would still be legally classified as Hybrids.

 

Who are these dogs?

Is this the "real" Phantom with NO Stop and a funky hook tail? Rumor has it he is a rather small Gaby OTX mix! Please compare to a one year old plush coated 31 inch ISSR Shiloh !! Or this 31 inch ISSR 2 year old smooth coated Shiloh!

Is this what Phantom truly is? A HYBRID? He certainly doesn't look like one.  I would have classified him as a "farm type" ADS--certainly not a HYBRID!

Yet according to the "official" documentation that was provided by the ESSR, Kijsha has over 30% wolf blood in her! Wow--and according to Gaby's documents she is the mother of Phantom, who was born in 2000 as "Bodyguard" but then changed his name. None of this paperwork makes any kind of sense at all!

These documents are presented here for your convenience.

Even the GTF data that was submitted leaves a ton of questions.  Gaby assured me that...

1.  Kijsha was a UK bitch she purchased in '95 and bred several times, keeping one of her males and breeding him to 2-3 ADS bitches over the past decade--with full documentation available.  (See above--this is what we received after she had already sold all of her pups under false pretenses!)

a.  I assumed that UK stood for United Kingdom.  You know the place that holds the Crufts shows and has super strict breeding rules, not the Universal Kennel that is listed along with so many other "scam" registries

b. I was also under the impression that she had full documentation on all of the ancestors as well as 5 generations of LMX/LMI data.  NOT SO! All that we received were a few handwritten notes on a few pups--what about all of the rest? Where are they? Do they have any health issues? Have any of them been bred? To whom? What is the progeny like?

That's the kind of information that a good breeder maintains in order to improve her stock! What happened to the records regarding those hybrids? What about their ancestors? What is known about any of them?

Now let's look at some of the pups that were recently sired by this "Phantom" out of a top quality ISSR female. As you can see, they may have a slight resemblance to a "pet quality" Shiloh but as they start to mature, you can clearly tell that they are just imposters! Look at those KITE (Rosen) ears!! Where did THAT come from? Not to mention the weird RING tails. Those traits are certainly not coming from any "wolf" ancestors-- so what else has Gaby tossed into this mix? 

 

Now, let's compare them as they mature.

Sioux at 13 months

Chesmu and Wynona at 13 months

 

Most of all--since none of the progeny resemble any of the dogs listed in the pedigrees, what are the other discrepancies that Gaby is hiding? Does the NSBR know--or even care?

Let's just look at the "WOLF" factors.  I have been informed, via very reliable experts, that wolves don't carry a long coat gene! One highly respected expert actually said that "you will never find a coated wolf dog unless it has fallen below the 6.25% mark, and even then it would be extremely rare." Yet Kijsha, a 30% hybrid is black/red and long haired? All I have is a picture of her son, Santos.  If you compare him to real hybrids I am sure you will be able to clearly see that they are not the same--not even similar! Guideline Characteristics of Wolves and Wolf Dogs
Misrepresentations

Now let's look at Santos. Does he look like a hybrid?

If not--then what is he? Does Gaby even know what she's breeding?

Since the papers say that the wolf dogs were mixed with American GSD's from top show lines.  Maybe you can investigate these kennels? Are Gaby's dogs true relatives or is this pedigree just another one of her fakes?

So who is this Kijsha? She is also supposed to be the daughter of Summer Winds Lord Rex. (See AKC five generation research pedigree of Summer Winds Lord Rex). Is that what she is? A pet quality GSD that was mixed with some undocumented wolf blood? Or is she just a small spooky mutt?

Why did most of her grandkids develop generalized demodex? Is that why those lines were producing so many health problems before they were crossed with a Shiloh? Didn't Gaby admit to having BAD hips-skin problems- and digestive disorders? Most of those pups have had a horrible problem with health issues! Is that why her last litter is having such severe skin problems as well as other health issues?  

Even though Gaby did not have a pedigree on this dog (Rex),  we did locate the kennel and have inquired as to the possibility of him having been bred to the hybrids listed on the paperwork.  Thus far we have not received any legible replies!

Now, let's take another look at this Nero that she was so happy about because he was the sire of her proposed NB (Phantom) line. Does this dog even exist? If yes, why did she ask me to "cover up the info"??

Look at the documentation. 

The SKG paperwork indicates that Nero was born in June 1998; be sure to compare this to the "Phantom" data that clearly shows that he sired his first litter in 2000.  So when was HE born? the same year as his sire? Even the DOB's don't make any sense.

Gaby's handwritten  health survey data on Phantom indicates his first litter was born in 2000.  How old was he? His "sire" Nero wasn't even 2 years old yet!
 

Please note that she lists all of her dogs as having "A" (excellent) hips--yet there has been no documentation to verify this! Were they even x-rayed? What about the "bad eater"? Could that have been EPI? Where are the vet records?

Does Gaby have any idea of what she is doing? Has she ever belonged to any Euro breed club?  When I wrote to her stating that I was informed that she was "kicked" out of the ADS group, she was quick to call me a liar and inform me that she was NEVER even let IN to their clubs! ROTFLMAO!  Guess they knew her better than I did!! Everything Gaby has been telling people is just a bunch of lies!! I have extensive documentation on file!

Now take a look at these papers--the crossed out date for Phantom's birth on the ESSR pedigree issued for the Chance/Phantom litter indicates that Phantom, supposedly Nero's son, was born in 1998 as well.  It was crossed out and changed to 2000, yet Gaby indicates that Phantom's first litter was born 2000. What's wrong with this picture?

Please note; The litter report shows that Phantom sired at least 3 litters with Pam (born in 2000, 2002, 2003) therefore he has to be close to 8 years of age, yet his DOB is listed as 2000 on the ESSR paper that was issued. What kind of a breeder would keep such haphazard documentation ... never mind a "registry" !! 

 

Look at the ESSR pedigree again.  Kijsha's registration number is listed as 158-3904
 
Yet, that is the number that originally was listed for Starlight Melody; Starlight Melody's number is listed as U.K. 158 4041, which according to the registration form, was actually Rex's registration number.

I sure hope the NSBR has better luck at tracking down this data in order to enter accurate information into their "registry"--that is IF they care about accuracy! If not--I wonder what they will be printing out on their "official" pedigrees!

Maybe they will just copy the false information presented by Gaby via her ESSR papers??

After all, the NSBR doesn't seem to care about ANY kind of accuracy ... as long as the dog claims to be "of the *shepherd* *family*"  they will issue a certificate!!  It doesn't even matter *who* "owns" the dog, you can get your name listed as owner on anything you want them to print out for you!!  Just pay your fee, nothing else seems to matter!!!
