Biden dog: no AKC registration?

I really hope that you read the story above(Laura feb 24,2010) even though its long because I too have bought a dog from Linda Brown. I thought when I met Linda that she seemed like she had great dogs. She also seemed like a decent person. I did feel like it was alittle odd that we were only aloud in the one area but I thought (like someone said they think they have a good judge of character) I do too. I do except unfortunately it failed me the day I met Linda! I had Chase for 4 years before she died of EPI Endocrine pancreatic Insufficiency. If you bought a gsd from Linda PLEASE be aware of the symptoms of EPI. She is well aware that her dogs ARE carriers of EPI and like Laura said she will be of NO help because once she has your money she wants nothing else to do with you! SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THESE DOGS!!! She has been notified by several(and I'm not talking a hand full-more like a big building full)of owners of the people who bought puppies from her about EPI. She has sold many puppies from EPI parents the whole time well aware that this is going on and continuing to breed sick dogs! I read someones comment about them thinking that she does not cross breed or do any in line breeding-think again! I could go on for hours about Linda and how bad she is as a breeder and obviously as a human being since she doesn't care who she hurts as long as she makes her money. That woman should be shut down! Unless you want a sick dog that you don't care about or care where they came from then you need to look else where because that is what you will get from Linda. My husband and I along with my four kids were devastated when Chase died-she was a part of our family and was loved dearly. If you do your homework on breeders you will see she is in a class of "puppy mills" and if you look up her records (&I'm not talking about peta-I dont go by them I go by the state who has to have real records-not saying peta doesnt but you need the real stuff not opinions) she has had MANY violations & legally shouldve been shut down long ago so she now has more then 1 name and has no idea who she is breeding with who. She also breeds them whether theyre sick or not because she continues until she can't get anything else out of the dog. She is in it for the money & thats it! Unfortunately if you have or do purchase a puppy from her and it gets sick you will find that out when you call her to ask for help. A friend of mine also had one of her dogs and when she called asking for help(b/c she WAS a close friend of Lindas) Linda threatened her!!! You think she cares-you are wrong! I really hope you NEVER!!!!! have to find that out! I am telling you as a long time German Shepherd dog owner and lover DO NOT BUY FROM LINDA!

The AKC does get a very bad rap for allowing breeders to ruin dog breeds, take money for the registrations, and do virtually NOTHING about neglect to the breeds. Many dog lovers who do care about their dogs just do not care about the AKC registration. The UKC has a good reputation and appears to have a better handle on true health. Yet, the AKC still has the fame. Tragic.
