In September 2005 I purchase a purebred White German Shepherd puppy from Buckstone Shepherds. Owners Cynthia and Clifford Philllips. All the forms filled in by Cynthia were on The Canadaian Kennel Club forms.
I had no reason to doubt that my puppy would be registered. Cynthia Phillips told me I would receive my registration papers within 3 months. I called her several times after that and she told me the CKC was behind in their paperwork.
I finally filed a complaint with CKC and they basically told me there was nothing they could do as she was in default with them. They sent her letters and she agreed to pay them up. They never called or followed up with Cynthia for payment and finally several months later they instructed me to contact the RCMP.
Well I did that and once again the located Cynthia, she had moved, all her dogs were taken away and some other breeders took them. I asked the RCMP to file charges against her under the Federal Pedigree Act.
The RCMP said they could not find her to serve papers or waited to long to do so and when they did find her, they gave the case back to CKC who once again just sent letters to no avail
The long and short of it, is that I still have not been able to register my pure bred White Shepherd and both the RCMP & CKC have be uncooperative and closed their files, as they say they cannot find Cynthia or Clifford Phillips.
Has anyone else had dealings with Buckstone Sheperds and have dogs that they have never been able to register??? Or has had dealings with Cynthia or Clifford Phillips.
Just as I assumed the breeder was in good standing with CKC as the breeder had CKC paperwork, I now know anyone can get CKC paperwork off the internet. So be careful when purchasing a so called predigreed pup. I do feel CKC should have some control on who has their paperwork, but it seems they do not regulate that.
