Sandy,
First off, I never said that both names were on his papers, and I hadn't even paid much attention to the fact that her name wasn't on the papers, as she and I have a binding contract that says I cannot breed, sell or give away the dog. That in my eyes is as much a co-ownership as any other. I am not about to get in the middle of anything, as I only took possession of Pepe because poor Magda cannot physically train and show the dog. Dawn

There was more to this email. Basically Dawn accusing me of breeding everything in my kennel to Fridge and showing a harle bitch, Von Shrado's Chynna Doll, who was sired by Fridge. Dawn said she knew the owner of Chynna's sister, Swirl and has seen the papers on Swirl and had Fridge listed as the sire. I have proven to Dawn that her information was NOT TRUE Swirl's registered name was Von Shrado's Coquette. Both Chynna and Swirl can be seen on my website. AKC records show they were both sired by Von Shrado's Jackson Fair Oaks. Below is my email to Dawn.

Please notice their AKC numbers which will show you they are from the same litter. It is amazing what you can find on the AKC website. It is all there in black and white. You can print out a report if you care to. I haven't quite figured out if you are as stupid as it seems or if you just like to make up stories, especially when it is so easy to prove you wrong.

Sandy:
I offered to pay you for Pepe in August and you refused. Now you are posting to my website asking who is going to pay for him. I understand that Magda paid you half of the agreed price. I will be more than happy to pay the other half as soon as a CD I have is ready to be cashed. I think it is the last week in November. Please advise. Dawn

Dawn,
In August when you offered to send me $100 towards Pepe, I refused because you did not own him (AT THAT TIME).  It was never about the money, it was about the principles that Magda lives by.  I did receive $500, though I have no idea who it came from and on the advise of my attorney, I have not cashed the check.      I will have to ask my attorney how to handle this as this is only part of what I am seeking.   ...............  Sandy

    Sandy,
I did own him at the time, it was just that the papers were in transit, At the time it was all the extra money I had. Dawn

Dawn,

I have been lied to by Magda, cheated by Magda. I sold her a bitch in good faith and she has illegally registered puppies from her sired by Harley. I have the proof she has done it. All I got from you were untrue accusations about some of my dogs being registered to Fridge and how I had bred him to all the harles in my kennel. I have the proof that your accusations were incorrect.

It doesn't make any difference to me about what you say, dates of transfers etc. I just do not care. My concern is the 4 puppies that Madga registered illegally out of Bee and protecting my line of dogs. I will fight with everything I have to make sure she does not have anything to do with Von Shrado ever again and if you happen to be brought into it because of your involvement with her than so be it.

Mindy Bannister, who was a friend of Donna Kelly's for years will testify that I had absolutely nothing to do with Donna and never sold her a dog as you claimed. I am tired of people (Magda and you) lying about me. I am not aware of anyone else lying about me. I have spent the past 2 1/2 months gathering evidence and I have what I need.

Did Patrick ever find the check involving Arno? I know he did not as I have seen a letter from Magda and it PROVES that Magda did not pay him and neither did Patrick pay Arno. Oh, in the letter, there was the typical "Check's in the mail" which I have received from Magda when she did not pay me for boarding her dogs and dog food she took when she left. I got the "Check's in the mail." Check never came. That was January 16, 1999. She never paid me........ I felt sorry for her and let it go. Her claims of BARFing her dogs for x number of years are a joke as she was feeding kibble as of 1/16/99.

I have read so many letters written by her to people in which she says "go ahead and sue me, you cannot get blood from a turnip". I even have one myself.

Dawn, you can go ahead and believe all the lies Magda tells you, and call her your friend. She is not someone I care to have anything to do with nor do I care to have any involvement with anyone who calls her a friend

. Another of Magda's lies is her claiming Bee had 2 litters of 10 puppies. It is part of the record. Bee actually had 4 litters, 7, 10, 8, and I believe the last one was 3? She also says she had one stillborn in each of the 2 litters of 10. She told the truth about the one litter of 10 having a stillborn but Bee's third litter which Pepe was in, there were 8 puppies, not 10, 2 were still born and she lost one after I signed the papers. All part of AKC records. Her last litter all puppies were dead? She lies, and lies and lies.

Everything I have just stated is true and can be proven, either by emails, (enforceable in a court of law) or by signed letters/statements or my own personal records on Bee.

Even though Pepe is a nice dog, I personally would prefer never to see him in the ring again because of Aquiline being associated with Von Shrado. I have spent over 30 years of my life, blood, sweat and tears developing my line and I do not want her to have any part of it ever again and will do whatever it takes to assure that my line is protected as I think any breeder would do and should do. I owe it to them.

What Donna Kelly told me came from her own mouth. I have no reason to lie about anything. She may have lied to me. Seems everyone is lying to me .

....... Answer: I have no reason to lie either Dawn, so the only explaination I have either you misunderstood her or she lied to you, because it is not true.

I am disgusted with all of this. I do not lie, I don't have time for lies.

....... Answer: Neither do I Dawn.

I do know that Floyd was DNA'd at one time, as when I was at Magda's house I saw the DNA certificate.

....... Answer: This is wonderful news Dawn. The only problem is if Magda did the DNA herself, she probably got the DNA from Harley. I am afraid I would not trust anything that Magda is involved with. She is scared to death about what I, and several other people know and that is that she has illegally registered at least two litters of puppies and there are several of her ex-friends who are willing to testify to that fact. !!!!

This is disgusting. I just do not understand why you want to jeopardize all of your years of breeding to get even with her. You were co -owner of the bitch in question and you will get in trouble too. Is it really worth it? Dawn

....... Answer: Dawn, I agree with you wholeheartedly that this is disgusting. Selling someone a bitch in good faith and having that person breed the bitch to an unregistered male that she owns and then registering 4 of the 7 puppies to another dog and bitch is about the most disgusting thing I have ever had happen to me in my 30 + years raising great danes. I am one angry person believe me.

You apparently do not understand about the registering of dogs and co-ownerships. Let me try to explain this to you so you can understand it. I was on Bee's papers when she had the litter with Harley. I did not approve of the breeding and asked Magda to give Bee an abortion shot and she refused. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION she signed a litter registration application and registered the 4 puppies to another bitch and dog that she owns. I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AND MY SIGNATURE IS NOT ON ANY PAPER INVOLVED WITH THIS LITTER AND I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE SHE HAD DONE THIS UNTIL 8/12/2001. I will not get in any trouble because I have done nothing wrong, I promise you.

Dawn, I am not jeopardizing all my years of breeding. I am doing what any good breeder who values her line of Great Danes would do. My requirements were for Magda to Spay Bee, spay/neuter Bee's 7 puppies she produced with Harley and show me the proof. She was to either pay me for Pepe or sign him over to me and she was to never to have anything to do with Von Shrado Great Danes again. How can I sleep at night, knowing that some dogs from my line of Great Danes that I have spent over 30 years of blood, sweat and tears developing are walking around registered to other Danes and probably being bred. I know she kept 0ne bitch from that breeding but I have no idea if she still has her. Her call name is Maddy and her regis tered name is Aquiline's Iron Maiden. Her son Rene has Pantera the black male from Bee/Harley and is illegally registered. I am very worried that she will breed some of these dogs she illegally registered.

I am not trying to get even with Magda. I have tried to get her to do the right thing and so far she has done nothing to rectify the wrong she has done. I have given her a date in November to meet my requirements.

I am still waiting for a response from my attorney about your offer to finish paying for Pepe. I want you to know that I do not want Pepe. If he came to me, he would be neutered and put in a pet home. I will not have anything to do with the name Aquiline. I want Magda out of my life and any Danes which Bee produced.

I have tried to figure out why you can still believe what Magda tells you when you know she lies.

Someday, you will be able to read my entire story and see the evidence and the proof I have of what I have told you.

Sandy:
There are so many "facts" on both sides and yes, I am a loyal friend who wants to believe my friend. When the time comes, and that is inevitable ...all the evidence from both sides will be put on the table and the whole truth will be told. I like everyone else will wait for the AKC to make the call, as they will see all the evidence and make the right call. If you were right, I will apologize immediately, if not then I am not sure how I will feel. If Pepe cannot be shown he will live here as my pet til the Good Lord takes him away.

I asked Magda about what you said so that she could answerme and she still has maintained her innocence. She says she has all of her breeding records and is going to mail copies of them to me to read for myself. Apparently she keeps impeccable records. This is tearing me apart.

Hi Dawn,
Facts on my side.......lies on Magda's side. She is one of the biggest liars I have ever met in my life. She has lied to you and you know it.

I will never forgive her for what she has done and I will try my best to protect my line of dogs. She will not take a dog from my line and screw with the papers and expect me to try to cover it up for her. Won't happen, won't do it, won't be any part of it.

The second litter she illegally registered, is not from my breeding so if others want to go after her for that litter it is up to them. It is her own breeding she messed up the papers on. This litter is Facey/Harley litter that she registered to Facey/Floyd. She did it, no doubt about it. She did it, and she knows that I know she did it. Please show her this email.

Tell her I want the registration papers on all dogs she illegally registered out of Bee. Donna Kranzberg's Black Male, Pride, her son's black male, Pantera and the harle bitch, Iron Maiden. She doesn't need to worry about the other harle bitch in that litter, that one has been taken care of, then I want Bee's papers signed over to me. I do not want her to ever breed her again and I do not want her on the registration papers of any of the puppies Bee produced out of Chip or Jester, nor will she ever breed anything to any of them or breed any of them.

When she approached me about breeding Genesis a few months back I told her she would need to xray for OFA and she refused. Also Magda has violated our contract. It states in our contract that she will xray Bee's hips for OFA at the age of 2. I can guarantee you she would not spend the money for it and she has not done it, so she has broken a contract she has signed.

That is what I want and that is what I will be fighting for. Tell her we can settle this the easy way or the hard way but it will be settled.!! She is going to have to hire an attorney which she really can't afford to do. Her attorney, Pamela Fulbright, is no longer representing her. Tell Magda I need her new attorney's name, address and phone number.

I had asked her on 8/12/01 for the names, addresses and phone numbers of the owners of the 7 puppies in the litter from Bee/Harley and to this date she has not given me that information though I have located most of them myself with the help of an investigator.

I really am sorry you got involved in this Dawn. I do not want Magda involved in with any Von Shrado Great Dane. Unfortunately, though Pepe has Aquiline in his registered name, he is Von Shrado.

Date sent: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 16:04:01 -0500

Hi Dawn,

I have a way we can settle this very quickly and here is my proposal.

Tell Magda to have Patrick take Floyd to a vet and have his DNA collected and have his picture taken with the vet doing the swab and have it dated. We must have the vets information such as Name, Address and Phone number.

Make sure you let Magda know that I have a photo of Floyd and that I can positively identify the dog. Believe me, I have a picture.

Go to the AKC website, request a DNA kit and have it shipped to Patrick. She can print off a $10 certificate but that is not important, we will be happy to pay the costs.

We will pay for the tests, the fee for the vet doing the collection and photos. I will even pay for one of those throw away cameras.

I would love to have Floyd's DNA. I am not talking about any certificate she has shown you because I believe it would be Harley's DNA.

Now, remember I am talking about Floyd. Aquiline's Pink Floyd V. Beau.

Also have her do the DNA on Maddy, and Pantera, same deal, I will pay for all of it, but pictures will be needed for positive identification, all done at a vets office.

I also want Bee's DNA. Same deal, I will pay for all of it. Won't cost her a cent. Bee has a tattoo #VS 98, so I know she can be positively identified. Pictures won't be necessary for her.

Hi Dawn,

I was hoping I would have heard from you by now about my proposal to Magda. I would like to sweeten the deal.

If Magda does the DNA tests that I have asked, with the proof I have asked, and she can prove that Bee's puppies were not registered to Maggie and Floyd, I will forget that she owes me the $500.00. It won't cost her a cent. It will be over and done with.

On the other hand, Dawn, have you ever wondered why Magda has not sued me for voicing my allegations? She has sued so many people ......... not that she wins but she does love to sue people. I would love for her to sue me as my attorney says we will counter- sue for due process and then have court ordered DNA. I would love that. Right now, I cannot force her to do DNA on her dogs and she knows it.

All I ever asked for from the very beginning was for her to give me the names, addresses and phone numbers of the owners of Bee's 7 puppies. I am going to let you read part of an email she sent to me and then I will explain something to you. This after asking her about the puppies.

@@@@ Hey, you can believe whatever you want. I don't know the name or address of the guy who got the big fawn mantle, I have not heard from the people who took the fawnequin bitch. The fawn bitch is in Spartanburg but I haven't heard from them in months and I have never heard a peep from the people who got the black boy. Two puppies died before they were ready to go, and the other black male died shortly after they vaccinated him from HOD. Since the litter was not registered, I did not keep the required litter records. ### NOne of those puppies were sold to anyone. They all were given away.

(Sandy)
~~~~ You expect me to believe this too? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Fawn Mantle male - he lives in Pa. Mark says he is doing fine.

Fawnaquin Bitch - also lives in Pa. I know who the owner is.

Fawn Bitch - I have not located her....... yet.

Black Boy - Donna Kranzberg owns him - lives in Sarasota Fl. Aquiline's Pride V Elysian.

Black Boy - Aquiline's Pantera - Magda's son's dog. Did not die from HOD after being vaccinated.

Harle Bitch - Did not die before she was ready to go. Aquiline's Iron Maiden. Magda calls her Maddy.

Harle Bitch - Did not die before she was ready to go. "Addy" She was part of the litter - owner did not register her. She is also a litter sister to fawnaquin and lives in Pa. with the litter sister.

Dawn, let me ask you a question. What are the odds of 2 bitches owned by Magda, whelping on the same day and having the same color combination in a harle litter as well as the same sexes.? One bitch lived with her and the other lived in Pa. A million to one, maybe?

If she keeps such impecable records why didn't she follow up with this litter? It was her responsibility to know how they were doing. I have had litters over the years where I did not register all the puppies and they went in pet homes, but I still knew right where they were and made them a part of the dam's record. Any good breeder should do that. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Anyone with half a brain can see the picture. ......................... Sandy
