This is a joke. It is readily apparent that Lea wrote her own endorsement. Note the spelling, method, etc. She is good at forgery and fraud I have to give her that - but that, in my humble opinion, is nothing to be proud of. Call Honor's Goldens and ask them about her - that is the name she fradulently uses on at least two of her dogs. Call Scess Goldens and ask them about their dealings with her. How often does she change her kennel name. I guess when you get enough complaints against you it's time to change. I have only known her for two of them - Desert Sun Goldens and now Frosty Paws. Call Hickory Police Department (the police that handle the area she lives in) and ask them what they know about her. Call Newport Beach, California police deparment and ask about the warrant they have out for her for Assault & Battery. I can go on and on, however, she isn't worth it - she is a scam artist and the most screwed up individual I have EVER dealt with. Lea you should have someone else write your reviews - your ignorance shows in your writing style.

Hey if you really have this testimonial up on your web page - give us the link to the page.
You say she (Lea) withdrew the papers - what a freaking joke. Attached is the AKC letter saying they have finished reviewing my complaint and had reversed the registration. If the dog is so bad looking why does she advertise her on her site as being "fabulous"?
Lea - you are so full of yourself and convinced that you are numerous people - grow up and stop being such a liar, cheat and criminal.
Lea - go ahead and sue me - PLEASE. There is nothing better than sanctions for a frivulous lawsuit. I WELCOME IT. Please have me served at 809 N. 40th Street, Clear Lake, IA 50428. I am available at that address from at least 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. daily - I WELCOME YOUR SUIT you are NUTS!

Again, I sign my own name.
If you don't believe the validity of the arrest warrant, here is the link to the Orange County site which shows that there is a warrant out for her arrest for Assault & Battery:

Please note I wrote Snowy Paws - it should have been Frosty Paws. She stole the name idea from Rushell P. at Snowy Paws who she ripped off.
Leah and Harold Winkler are now operating under a new name (gee I guess if you keep changing your kennel name you can stay ahead of the bad reputation you have. She is still the same rip off, animal abuser, puppy mill she was two years ago. BTW Leah - I am still waiting for your slander suit - gee you find out you can't sue when people are telling the truth? I can now give out about 8 other names of people she has ripped off, harassed, lied to, etc. Just contact me. At least I put my name and number - unlike the glowing references Leah writes about herself. Notice those people don't list any contact information. I do. Debbie Kern - Showstopper Goldens - [protected].
Forgot - her new kennel name is English Creme Goldens. If you are considering selling her a puppy - PLEASE - for the sake of your puppy - don't do it. I can provide e-mails from her where she tells me she is beating the F____ out of the puppy she got from me when I refused to release the limited registration. The registration got reversed by AKC after they reviewed all documentation. I have hundreds of pages of information on her and am happy to share it so you don't have to go through what I did. For those who claim I have nothing better to do - you bet I don't - if I help ONE person avoid this person then it is worth all the time I put into it. Debbie Kern
If Leah is so unhealthy why is she trying to buy another dog? For those interested - jackbequick is Leah writing - I can show you e-mails where she goes on and on about God after she tell you to F___ yourself. You aren't fooling anyone Leah but yourself. Debbie Kern
I hope so. I would love to get Leah in a courtroom and then we could take her deposition and publish it.
I can only say that from my experience with the Winkler's I would have to vouch for Eva being correct. I have dealt with their sleezy actions for a couple of years with what they did to my little girl. I have to agree with Eva that selling the Winkler's a dog was the worst mistake I have EVER made as a breeder. The person above who is saying this is all lies is Leah herself. She has more names than I have socks. You only have to read what she writes to know it is her with her filthy mouth and vulgar language, plus the fact that she comes across as illiterate with her writing. F"YI - GRCA standards say you can't breed a ### until she is over two and has final clearances - she bred the "limited" registration ### she got from me at 15 months. Fortunately I was able to get the registration reversed by AKC before the puppies were born and therefore she wasn't able to continue using my ### in her unethical breeding program. I have a copy of the letter from AKC posted for public viewing to prove that AKC reversed the registration. It's hard to defend against the truth and all of the cursing and ranting that Leah does will not change the fact that she is a liar, unethical and inhumane to animals. In her own words she told me she was beating the F___ out of my puppy and it was my fault because I wouldn't release the registration. If that is the type of person you want to defend - then you two deserve each other. I heard from a lady last week who she tried to sell a dog she bought from overseas and somehow manipulated the lady into believing there was something wrong with the dog and she was getting two replacement puppies for the one bad one - yet she was trying to sell the original dog for $5, 500.00 (USD). Hopefully the person who was sending her the replacement "puppies" got notified in time. The Winkler's pull every scam in the book and use God as a shield. Well the God I know wouldn't condone the actions of the Winkler's. They send you an e-mail cursing you out, calling you every name in the book, and close the message with things like - you will burn in hell. If we all stay diligent against them eventually they will have no one to buy dogs from and therefore we can shut down this puppy mill. I note that after my posting yesterday with their new kennel name of English Cream Goldens that they have now closed that - wonder what kennel name they will try and steal next? Watch your websites - if they find something on it that they like - they just cut and paste it and use it as their own. The Winkler's are very pathetic people. If they weren't so vicious you might feel sorry for them but their vicious attacks on people and the poor dogs they get their hands on is very cruel. Signed, as always, by the author (wish Leah would do that when she uses fake names to post good things about herself). Debbie Kern - Showstopper Goldens.
At the time I filed my complaint with AKC she was not a GRCA member. I checked that out. AKC won't suspend her because of the number of puppies she registers and they are all about the money. They did nothing but reverse the registration on Sydney and it took quite a while. I sent them a whole package of proof of her fraud and forgery as well as the name and phone number of a witness who was present when she picked up Sydney. The witness happened to be a licensed professional handler. Leah lied all through my dealings with her and after she got her hands on the puppy the whole thing turned into a nightmare. If there is any doubt about the Winkler's character get in touch with the Hickory North Carolina police. She tries to intimidate people and unfortunately for Leah I don't scare. I have begged her to try and sue me for slander (she keeps threatening me with jail time for slander - tells you how much she knows). Unfortunately my years in the legal profession have taught me to keep it to the truth and you are safe - that is why she won't come after me - I can PROVE every word I have ever written about her. She will come up with a new name now that English Cream Goldens site is closed down. Everyone be careful and make sure you check her out carefully before buying a puppy from her and especially before selling her a puppy. If you read the responses she has filed in the various fraud forum's you will see that she openly threatens to use my [censor] as a brood [censor] and then have her put down - is this REALLY the person you want having one of your precious babies? Written by Debbie Kern - Showstopper Goldens
The complaint was obviously written by Leah Winkler or her husband Harold. It is an attempt to do nothing more than damage other people. I can PROVE everything I have said about her - I certainly love to see the Winkler's do the same. My personal actions, and theirs, is well documented and in fact AKC agreed that they committed fraud and reversed the registration on the female they purchased from me (selling them a dog was the worst thing I ever did). It is Leah who harassed Rushell unmerciful, threatening her, her kids, etc. What a shame that people like the Winkler's exist. The story about Leah being sick is used regularly - I believe she is sick but not the way their fake story makes it out to be. Debbie Kern - Showstopper Goldens
Leah - at least have the guts to sign your name. You were not the 2nd owner on Sydney. Everyone from Animal Control in Arizona to police in Hickory North Carolina confirmed the picture I took of you the day you got your puppy. I got the AKC papers reversed because you committed Fraud and I proved it. Live with it - you rip people off, forge papers, commit fraud, have warrants out for your arrest, have numerous lawsuits against you for taking people's money on puppy deposits and then not delivering dogs, you are [censor]. Just live with it. Debbie Kern
When last I checked she was not a member of GRCA. I sent Golden Duck an e-mail and suggested they visit the complaints board to see it. What name will she go to next? Who has recently had a run in with her should beware because you may be next on her list. Debbie Kern
Leah Winkler is doing the same thing with Charlie. She bad mouths him in one sentence and then sells him for $12, 000 and AFTER she gets the money for him it is discovered she sold him with heart worm. Leah is the most pathetic excuse for a human being I have seen. I will continue to try and warn people about her. Maybe the latest criminal charges against her will slow her down but I doubt it. People beware of Leah Winkler. She will make you sorry you ever heard her name.
Debbie Kern
There is no way to miss it when Leah is posting - her filthy mouth and lack of ethics shows up every time. Leah you aren't rocket scientist - a bad person yes - but certainly no rocket scientist. Not everyone has your propensity for animal parts (or Harold's propensity for them). You can look up the word if you don't understand it. The second part of your screen name is appropriate "no brainer". This certainly fits you. How is your court case going for your latest arrest for shoplifting? Hope you get what is coming to you.
Debbie Kern
For anyone interested - I can prove Leah only paid $800.00 for the puppy she purchased from me. I have the ORIGINAL signed contract. She tried extortion to get $3, 000 from me to get her back. I got the AKC registration reversed and I have posted the proof of that on-line. Leah Winkler is a thief, a fraud, a forger and is an extremely unpleasant person. She has made historical remarks that she was suing me - but I have yet to see that. Wonder why? It is impossible to sue someone who is telling the truth isn't it Leah?
