Kim Owens-kimmars Kennels ripoff-$800 for a purebred amstaff pup, refuses to give akc papers, will not return phone calls or emails Huntingtown Maryland
Purchased a 8 week old American Staffordshire Terrier puppy from Kimmar kennels in Huntingtown MD. from owner Kim Owens in Nov. 2005, when purchased I was told that the AKC papers for this dog would be sent as soon as I sent proof of the dog being altered (spayed), at 9 months of age the dog was spayed and a copy of bill of sale and a copy of the vets certification of spaying was sent, after not hearing from Kimmar after 2 weeks I called and was told that they couldnt find the paper work I had sent and that I should resend and they would process immediatley, well I sent the same documents again and again and have not heard back from Kimmar, I have called atleast 10 times and emailed atleast 10 times--they dont return the calls or respond to any emails, by searching the web I have found others who they have screwed, have filed a complaint with the MD. better buisness bureau and will pursue Kimmar til my last breath,they do breed beautiful stable tempered animals, but if you cant prove the bloodlines the animals are should not be sold at a preminum price, they cant be shown in shows, truely Kimmar's sucks!, DONT GET RIPPED OFF-BUY ELSEWHERE

Response to Rip off allegations for AMSTAFF puppy

The puppy was purchased from Kimmar Kennel's with all Puppy vaccination's. The Buyer and the Seller entered into a legal and bind written contract as to the disposition and care of the puppy, in regards to Breeding, Showing, and Pet Status of the puppy. Dog Sold under ant of these contracts have things that have to be completed before AKC Registration papers will be delivered.
If it's a pet quality puppy - It must be spay or neutered and proof provided to the seller proior to delivery of the AKC Registration Papers. If it is a SHOW Puppy - it must compete and be finished as an AKC Champion of record before transfer of AKC Registration (CO-Owned with Seller), If the Pet is a Breeding Quality Puppy - it must be returned to the breeder for Breeding to a Male that would improve the Gene Pool of the AMSTAFF Breed.
Apparently the consumer whom filled this complaint wanted to bully us, instead of taking us to court. Because the contract is made in Maryland, and Maryland has jurisdiction over all of our contracts, this individual was not willing to pursue the issue legally.

in agility, obedience, etc, you can get an ILP number from AKC. Of course spayed animals can't be shown in conformation anyway.
I get so tired of "breeders" shifting the blame to AKC for late papers when in fact AKC is quite fast in turnaround. I have never had to wait more than 3 weeks for a litter registration or individual registration. Your pup is probably not eligible for AKC papers and that's why they won't respond to you.
Glad you got a healthy, sound tempered dog, so many people get ripped off and don't even get that.
