This person claims to be an AKC breeder, but will not give you the paperwork you need to register the dog. She sells puppies to anyone with money, even if they have NO experience as a dog owner. She sold a puppy to a boy barely old enough to legally drink. Once the "cute puppy" stage was over, he decided to sell the 8 month old. Because of his inexperience and lack of knowledge, the dog was ill. She has had 2 surgeries and been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. The medical bills are enormous and it is only a 50/50 chance she will survive. All because a greedy breeder sold to someone with 0 knowledge of the dog breed. She is rude when asked any questions and very secretive about the dog's bloodlines. I am not even sure the dog is a purebred because of her lack of professionalism. She can be found on MANY website, talking very nastily to anyone and everyone that disagrees with her. In speaking to someone else who obtained a dog from her, she has a criminal record in NY and PA.
This complaint is absolutely untrue. This poster is a disgruntled individual who created their own problems. Joni's dogs are all East or West German bloodlines and they are AKC registered. If your not going to register your dog you don't need the "papers", but if you want them you certainly will get them. Don't be put off by someone's anger over something they themselves created.
thank you Cliff
We bought a beautiful GSD from Joni in and brought him home with us in March 2020. When we picked him up we brought gifts for his sire Boink and trays for all her dogs. She treats them as her children. We had no issues getting the AKC paperwork needed to register him and did so with no problems. Joni is a very kind person and treats people as they treat her. Give her the respect and she will give respect I kind. She does not live the conventional life but her dogs are beautiful, healthy and have wonderful temperaments. Our boy is now 6 months old and our vet says he is very healthy and growing into a beautiful GSD. In fact while we were at the vet for his shots we were asked where we got such a gorgeous GSD and I proudly gave Joni’s name. This is not our first GSD and we had our last one for 13 years. They are amazing dogs but not for everyone. Joni our best to you always.
Exactly. Same experience with our dog. Couldn't ask for a better dog in looks or temperament
and Thank You too Enid
Joni indeed doesn’t know who the father to her puppies are. Her dogs all run loose and she doesn’t know what male ties up with the females. The dogs are NOT taken care of. She can’t afford to feed the 25 dogs she has up there. All she is doing is running a German Shepard puppy mill to line the pockets of her purse. It’s time she is shut down and these poor dogs go to a good home where they are taken care of and are pets not a source of money for a person to make a living.
Why exactly did you post this "complaint" ? Obviously just someone who has it in for this breeder for some reason and I suspect it has nothing to do with dogs
yeah Ok lover. I have never had 25 dogs, and just for your information, My dogs all do run and live together most of the time. Females ain t in heat 365 days of the year, so why should I seperate them on the days they don t need to be, huh? You get a little notice when females coming in heat, At the time you wrote this, I had three males, so its not that difficult to lock away two or even three of the males during them days. I suspect you must be a breeder yourself, or maybe just someone that worries to much about what I m doing for god only knows what reason. Just to talk crap about what you have no idea about.
you should spend more time worrying about your own self instead of me.
Just completely odd that you worry what I do,
Joni has great dogs but she as a seller is not so positive. I let her take 4 females of mine to try and sell them and since then I have received no updates she posted 2 photos of 2 pups and the photos were so dark, I could not see a thing. Because I was not smart enough to get everything in writing I have, no doubt lost my 4 girls and.or the money I would have gotten from the sales. Money I needed desperately and she knew that. What hurts most is she has betrayed my trust and I no longer consider her a friend.
Yes this is a shady operation.
my GSD was a working line high drive puppy and i have had to give him up to a trainer because he was more than i could handle. its heartbreaking to give up a dog.
Please explain how this is the breeders fault ?
Hmm ! More to this then meets the eye.
I got a GSD from Joni almost 8 years ago and he was the best dog I have ever had. My Dexter sadly died of a spinal embolism that had nothing to do with his breeding or breed. He was very easy to train and the most lovable dog ever. When we went to pick Dex up both parents were on the premises and Joni had full control over all her dogs which was super impressive. You need to know what you are getting into when you get a dog and when things don't go the way you planned then you need to own it and not blame others. Joni was very clear about the pricing and we chose not to register Dex as he would just be our pet. I knew that day that I chose not to pay the extra for the papers. I plan on getting another GSD from Joni as soon as a litter is available and I will do this with no reservations.
Another absolutely true review
why not make people accountable for their lies and false bremarks. 'first complaint from pennt mckay, where are the vet bills, who did he sell this n=mutt that may not live to? Another lying piece of [censor]
How pathetic to even write a complaint and then hide under an assumed name. if you telling rthe truth< back up your position you lying piece of [censor].. and this complaint board a joke that it allows made up names
I totally agree with this complaint. She's nothing but a backyard breeder and scam artist. Selling dogs, keeping money, not properly taking care of her dogs, not knowing if they're being inbred or not. Absolutely disgraceful.
She literally must do nothing but google herself to even see and complain about these complaints against her.
Well poedne, I get alerts when I get these [censor] complaints, and you know as well as I do thats just what it is, [censor]... not knowing if they inbred.. I spent more money on dogs with the best pedigrees in the world to ensure the quality of my breeding program. the first complaint by the penny mckay and cole zuke is bogus, I brag up who my dogs are, wouldn t you brag if you owned a bomber pup, or a kevin murrtal pup, or a female from grafental kennel in germany, why not say who the [censor] your skanky [censor] is if you telling the truth, u piece of [censor]
Who do you want me to give the money to, you. don't properly take care of my dogs, um, ok,, anyone that knows me knows thats a lie. I could give a rats [censor] what someone who hides their identity has to say... you must know me is why your not giving your vreal name, and if you know me, you know I won t hesitate to knock your teeth down your throat.
This has nothing to do with dogs, it s a personal vendetta, otherwise you could state some facts... got any facts [censor]?
who should i give the money to, you? Do you pay for my dogs food, for their bones, and toys? who are you that you hide behind screen name you pathetic piece of [censor]
I was sold a working line german shepherd. i told them i am 72 with a sedentary lifestyle. i now had to give the dog to a trainer. this was the wrong dog for an older person but they didn't care, Joni and Adelle.
you and Adelle sold me a working line german shepherd. i told her I am 72 and have a sedentery lifestyle.
you should be ashamed. Please give me my money back.
I do not even know who you are, You may have got one of my puppies from Adele, but these posts of yours are the first I heard of you. Just because your puppy was sable, don t mean it was working line. All my puppies have working line in them, but they are just as much show line. If you would have contacted me, i would have gave you a more suitable pup. I don t want none of my pups in the wrong home. You obviously knew my name enough to post here, you must have been given my phone number, I never heard a word from you. I guess its just easier to complain about a situation then try to correct it.
I know of several people your age with my pups that don t have any problems.A couple have more then one of my dogs. You should have contacted me directly. I wouldd have helped you out.

Grandmother as big aliar as Cole Zuke
Well cole is one of the few that duped me.
Barely old enough to drink? well at 21 owning a dog ain t rocket science. he told me this was his first dog, he came several weeks and we talked for hours he mentioned his grandma (you) had always had german shepherds and I told him, I am always I repeat, always, availabe to supprt him and my puppy/dog.
He did not buy akc reg papers. I give option but regardless if you choose papers or not I have a 100 percent life time guarantee on all my dogs
One hundred percent
I stand behind any thing I produce. I was never told of any health issues everi I blocked him after I found the puppy he duped me into believing he bought for his grand ma, for sale on facebook 2 months later and I bought the puppy back.
That is when I was aware of all the lies he told me, week after week he sat here telling me bold faced lies.
It was just a couple of weeks ago I was told how good she was doing and what a great girl she was.
As far as pedigree I brag up my dogs, I have some of the finest bloodlines in the world and do absolutely have the best dogs and give everyone the pedigree
I don't give give reg. papers to all because I don't want my dogs being bred backwards. it has taken me 20 some years to get where I am in my dogs excellent health and temperaments
I have three dogs certified police k9, no reason to lie about who they are.
I don't t want them bred with the dog down the road,
I do get a little boisterous on some forums where I see people giving out false information to others looking for help. I am far from expert, but I do have experience and a bit of knowledge.
Quite honestly I have zero tolerance of the *know it all know nothings"
I have been arrested before and now this little liar, put me at risk again, he can take this response to the bank (or police), I am wanting to kick his butt for lying about the entire situation.
I ask half jokingly when someone gets a puppy from me if they need me to write it out" I will break your legs *if* you f my pup up!"no secret"
If you do right by my pupyou have no worry

Do you do nothing but sit home all day and google yourself?
