On 3/11/05 I purchased one male puppy from the "k" litter from Cindy Hiemenz of Fenwald Kennels in WonderLake, Illinois for $2300.00 plus tax. The sire to my pup is Isko com Klebinger Schloss and the Dam is Gabriala von Fenwald. As in the contract we both signed, I was to recieve AKC papers for my pup. At the time of purchase she explained to me that due to a mix up his papers would be delayed a short while maybe a month or two. Knowing this I still agreed to purchase and take posession of the pup.

Since then I've continually asked Ms. Hiemenz about my papers and have been given a basket of excuses. This is not my first purchase of a registered AKC German Shepherd. While I DO NOT consider myself an expert I would not consider myself a novice by no means.

As the months pass, and the excuses mount, I began to investigate why I have not gotten my contractually agreed upon papers. #1 The Dam of Litter "k", "Gabriella" is not registered with the AKC. Obvious reason to this being that the Dam to "Gabriella", "Imke vom Haus Hera" is not registered with the AKC. Reason being I don't know.

I have heard MANY stories of why neither Gabriella nor Imke will never never be registered with the AKC but at this time I have no actual proof. But there is proof that neither of the above mentioned Dams are not registered, just call the AKC, that is TRUTH.

In the dually signed contract it states, quote, "We absolutely guarantee that all pups will receive their papers", I have asked when many more time than I can remember.

I have no intention of ever breeding my dog, yes I did tell her that I intended the pup to be a family pet with possibilities of obidience, agility, SAR etc. It does not matter what I told her I wanted to use the dog for. What does matter is that we have a written contract that I fufilled by doing my part of paying Ms. Hiemenz $2300.00 plus tax for the dog with the promise of AKC papers. Maybe I just want to frame the AKC papers like I have done for my other German Shepherds and hang them on the wall.

Bottom line. I have contacted Ms. Hiemenz by phone and email many times asking about the papers. I get nothing but excuses. I understand that people are busy, but I also understand that I paid and EXTREME amount of money for a so called soon to be eligible AKC registered puppy. The AKC registration is part of the reason that you would pay so much money for a dog.

The can never get a straight answer from Cindy. She claims she is too busy and she will get around to it sooner or later. I have missed opportunities to show my pup in AKC shows (just as a hobby, something to do for fun), but I can't because I don't have what I have been promised from day 1.

I have NO complaints otherwise. The dog is great. We love him to death. But if I wanted a dog without AKC papers I could of spent 1/3 of what I paid for him or less and gotten an unregisterable puppy, just like the one that I got now that I paid full price for plus tax.

I'm not in any way telling you not to buy a dog from Cindy, I think she produces wonderful dogs. Just make sure before you pay and fall in love with your puppy that you have your AKC papers in your hand before you leave her premises.

Thank you.

In response to the post by Leticia, everything that I have posted is true and with merit. Like the title to this reponse, I DO indeed tell everyone I meet that is into the breed the story behind Kane. Then when they ask for a referral to a true, stand by their word breeder, I give them a few names of people that I trust and know would NEVER EVER do anything so childish and immoral as Ms. Hymenz did.

I've kept copies of all records of dealing with Ms. Hymenz as well as a copy of Kane's Registration from a so called professional and honest breeder. Every show or GSD event I go to, I proudly show anybody that will look. Believe me, it is a GREAT ice breaker or conversation piece.

I am so glad that my story has been heard. Not that I am glad that other's have had many problems, but through outlets like this, I don't feel so alone anymore. There are obviously lots of people that have had or are having problems with this person and her ways of doing business.

Thanks for your comment.

Just for your information Joe-My son owns a black Cougar and the only way Lisa would know this would be if she passed by my home- I have filed a police report and Lisa told the officer she would stop doing this and since she hasn't stop doing this I will be back at the police station again tommorow. I will not tolerate people stalking my home. Problems and consumer complaints are one thing ( if they are legidimate) stalking is against the law and since Lisa lied and she continues to post on here- I will go back to Police Department tommorow and that's a promise- and Joe it's on record so Dominique is telling the truth- go check at the police station.

You have crossed the line, if I were Cathy I would file a report with the police.

Making comments about loving big cats refers to her child's car, which means you have been stalking her and her minor children.

You clearly know that Cathy is not Cindy as douse everyone else.

I don't know how they feel about people who make implied threats against children up there, but where I'm from your in big trouble.

I don't think anyone on this or any other posting will agree with what you are doing.

And before you say it, NO I am not Cindy, but you already know that.

Sociopath

#52Consumer Comment

Mon, March 06, 2006

Catherine (Cindy) you refer to a person that has a real costumer issue as being a nutcases, which are behavioral characteristics of a sociopath. I have listed a couple of others.

Manipulative and Conning:
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self:
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the "spokesman for God," "enlightened," "leader of humankind," etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentality

Pathological Lying:
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt:
A deep-seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Need for Stimulation:
Living on the edge, yet testing the beliefs of their followers with bizarre rules, punishments and behaviors. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy:
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Their skills are used to exploit, abuse and exert power. Since the follower cannot believe their leader would callously hurt them, they rationalize the behavior as necessary for their (or the group's) own "good" and deny the abuse. When devotees become aware of the exploitation it feels like a "spiritual rape" to them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature:
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, and no concern for their impact on others. The followers only see them as near perfect.

You mention in your email that Gail Barnes has a BBB complaint filed against her. I need to know where and who filed the report. She as taken $1,000.00 from me for a deposit on a puppy and no pictures or information on the puppy.

In addition, there is a law firm in Chicago who is also looking for her since it seems that she has up and moved to TN. Her website changes daily with removal of contact information or mailing information. I will also file a complaint with this site for a ripoffreport complaint.

I am the PROUD owner of two (2) RavenWolf dogs, three if you count Kane von Ravenwolf (I can call him whatever I want). Yes, everyone, von Ravenwolf does also have a dispute on the BBB. My point is that Gayle of von Ravenwolf, provided me for purchase two beautiful, perfect GSD's. Her customer support is unbelievable. In fact, just from the first purchase, I made a life-long friend. She was ALWAYS available if there was a problem with the dogs. Their papers where handed to me when I picked the pups up. She cares about her dogs from the day they are born until the day the leave this earth. Unlike Ms. Hymenz who only cares about the money. I've heard stories about her and her "guarantee" policy. Regardless, I love my Kane to death, but if Gayle would of had a puppy available at the time, I would of gotten another from her. She is such a nice person, unlike Ms. Hymenz that likes to use obscene language and threats as her protocal for customer satisfaction.

Really, Catherine, you must really be in love with Cindy if you TRULY are not one in the same. If the 1 in 1,000,000 chance you are not Cindy, then please tell Cindy to step up to the podium and address her own issues.

Whoever you are Catherine,Cindy sounds more like Sybil to me. Anyways, bottom line everybody. I did get some papers finally. After 11 months, a lawyer and a million emails and phone calls. Did I get the papers for my dog? NO. I got some papers for a dog names Karly F.U. von RipOFF.

Like I said, what goes around, comes around. Maybe one day Sybil will have some of the headaches that I had dealing with her. Who Knows.

I wish I had Cindy Hymenz mailing list. I would send them this web address, and then we would see how many satisfied customers she has. She probably has a few, no doubt. Maybe a few that don't really care about getting ripped off or screwed around.

What I don't understand here is if Catherine truly is not Cindy, then where is Cindy? And Catherine, are you like in love with Cindy and she is your idol? Let her defend herself. And YOU should get a life, I have not posted here since November. You're just obsessed with this issue.

I spent $2300.00 plus sales tax on a puppy. That's alot of money for me. Was I happy with the transaction and the way I was treated? NO WAY! Would I recommend von RipOFF to anybody, NO WAY! I'd be embarassed to. Catherine if you truly are not Cindy then you must have a crush on her or something, because if Cindy Hymenz was not guilty of any of the accusations against her, she would stick up for herself, not have you do it for her. Leave it alone already. I got over it, so should you. Seriously, it's done. Go find somebody else's issues to meddle in.

Yes Joe you should be so proud to lie and say you are the owner of a dog from this breeder- who has the following report on the Better Buisness Bureau-
BBB Reliability Report
Von Ravenwolf Shepherds

Principal: Gayle Barnes File Open Date: September 2005
BBB Membership: This company is not a member.

The Bureau processed a total of 1 complaint about this company in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total of 1 complaint closed in 36 months, 1 was closed in the last year.

This complaint concerned:

1 Contract Issues
BBB Definition:

Contract Issues - Claim of alleged failure to honor contract or agreement, work performed without authorization, or invalid contract.

It was closed as:
No Response

So when Gayle makes you mad are you going to slam her too?- I still think it is hillarious that you think I am Cindy.. If you only knew Mr. Joe. I think out of all the puppies Cindy has sold if she only deals with the few morans on this page she is doing very well considering the ratios. You are a real joke Joe-get a life.

I will never ever ever admit to anyone that Kane came from von FenRipOFF. And as far as me eating crow, naaaa, I'll be eating steak the day I finish with what I am doing about the F.U. situation. That's what lawyers are for. If you have the means, then why not.

So in conclusion, sorry I have not been around, been busy lately, but who hasn't, I just have not been busy lying, cheating and ripping people off.

If I ever were to buy another GSD, I would have to do my due deligence and learn fom my prior mistakes.

If anyone would like, they can also go to the Better Business Bureau and check out the report there too...

Have a great day everyone!!!!! You too Catherine. Oh and Catherine there are Doctors that deal with multiple personality disorders, just look in the phone book.

Wed, February 01, 2006

Hello everybody who thinks they are involved and hello my friends that have helped me, without you (and you know who you are), I would have not gotten here.

Cindy (AKA Catherine) Hymenz, is a liar and a fraud. When I look in my archive I will post the message that Cindy sent me when she finally did send the papers. She told me that there was a special suprise in the papers for me, and that I was the biggest a**hole she has ever dealt with.

I'm no expert on the breed, but a well read novice. Can somebody explain to me what F.U. stands for besides the obvious?? Is that a new title? Or hip grade? Or What?

It only took what 10-11 months plus an attorney to get the papers that I was promised only to find Ms. Professional Hymenz had hidden a "subliminal message" in the papers. What a loser. And she claims to be a professional. That's alright, the AKC is well aware of the situation and believe me Kane is still Kane. I have been continuosly been working on fixing everything all up. Catherine, you can tell your alias Cindy that what goes around comes around.

Everytime somebody asks me where Kane came from I tell them he is a von Ravenwolf. They treated me with respect and provided what was promised to me.

What else would F.U. stand for you should have put F.U.A. that seems to be what fenwald is all about.I would think a lawyer would send a letter of request; you don't seem to be easily reachable by phone when things are not going the way you plan.

JOE GOT HIS PAPERS: Before Melanie attacks my character

#52Consumer Comment

Tue, January 31, 2006

I was busy and was typing too fast- It should be Karly.

And this is what I meant to post:
For your information- Joe's attorney contacted Cindy requesting "Karly's" papers so that's what he got and once again I am not sure what your mental problem is but I am not Cindy. Regardless of what his papers say he stated on here that his dog was not papered when in fact it is and what are you assuming that Cindy meant by that name? How do you know what that means did you maybe think there is a professional reason for that? Or is it that you think everyone thinks as twisted as you do.

So I think Joe should eat crow

"Catherine" He received registration for a dog named "Karly F.U. von Fenwald", which is not the dog or registration he paid for.

Catherine and Cindy,

Joe got AKC registration for a dog that he did not purchase. From what I understand, a dog named Kyle von Fenwald was purchased. He received registration for a dog named "Karly F.U. von Fenwald", which is not the dog or registration he paid for.

Number one, putting "Karly" was wrong, number two, putting "F.U." is ridiculous, not to mention very childish and highly unprofessional!

You should be ashamed of yourself, Cindy. I'm sure it's a real hoot to you, and you're sitting there eating your popcorn and getting a real laugh, but it's wrong, and you should have the decency to know that.

For those of you who care to see it, here's the AKC link, you can cut and paste the name from here, and this is a German Shepherd Dog.

Really sad Gina that you continuoulsly accuse me of being Cindy- hmm it's great to see that others are posting here sticking up for Cindy as well-the more positive posts make you and the other negative people on this site look more and more guilty everyday..... and by the way everyone.... Joe got his papers (but I guess no one wanted to say that). Where's Joe's rebuttal ? Who knows.

Still no response or papers. 10-23-05

#52Consumer Comment

Mon, October 24, 2005

Here it is another week or two has come and gone. No response at all. No papers in the mail, no emails in the inbox, no excuses or reasons thrown my way.

What a crock, I buy a dog thinking I am getting an AKC registerable dog and here we are so many months later, and still not a word.

Nothing else new, just the same motto, be careful who you buy from and spend thousands of dollars with. Make sure you have everything you are supposed to have before that money leaves your hand and before you leave that property. Don't wind up like me, the VICTIM. Yeah, I have the dog, the dog is the same dog that I love and wouldn't trade for the world, but my contract also called for AKC papers along with that wonderful dog. Even if I never ever needed to show anybody his AKC papers, I paid for them and I should have them, and as of today 10-23-05 I still DO NOT.

Thanks Cindy, thanks for the lies and excuses. Maybe you thought they were harmless but to me the were not. I paid you very good money $2300 plus SALES TAX for my pup with his papers to come. I even sent you a friendly email in the last week of so just asking if you were ever going to respond to me or ever going to attempt to get the papers. NO REPLY AT ALL.

What else would I expect of someone with NO integrity or pride in what she does?

Your meddling into these affairs to the point where you supposedly have someone handling your case against me at the AKC will clearly not end up in your desired results, unless of course your goal is to attain your supposed worst fear of not getting the papers. You will clearly end up being your own worst enemy. You'll have no one to blame but yourself.
_______________________________________________

Friends that are following the saga,

The above email is an exact QUOTE of the last correspondence between Cindy of Fenwald and myself.

_______________________________________________

If you were me how would you interpret that message? All I have done is contacted the AKC and asked them for help in this whole matter. They wrote me back saying that my dog is not AKC registerable. I paid $2300 plus sales tax for a dog that is contractually obligated by the breeder to be able to be registered with the AKC. All I want is my AKC papers that Cindy of Fenwald both verbally and contractually promised to me for the sum of $2300.00 plus sales tax. I agreed to pay the $2300.00 plus sales tax and take posession of the puppy, taking Cindy's word that it would just be a matter of time that I would get my pup's paper's. I drove 2 hours in the snow to pick this puppy up for my wife's birthday as a suprise. Heck, Cindy even gave me a blanket and a birthday hat for the pup to wear when I got him home. I trusted her. I had no reason at the time not to. I can't believe she did this to me and my wife. $2300.00 plus sales tax is a lot of money to spend on a puppy. That may not be a lot of money to some but to me it is a lot. I work for everything that I have. At least the puppy Kane is otherwise healthy so far. We are happy with him, just not her and the fact that we spend $2300.00 plus sales tax on a dog that cannot be registered with the prestigious AKC.

Well ladies and gents, that's the update for 10-11-05. Still no papers.

Thanks for the support.

LESSON OF THE DAY FOR EVERYONE:

BUYER BEWARE.

P.S. Cindy said that I am a coward because I did not post my last name or email or phone. Just for the record I have, but I think the site edits it out for some reason. I have nothing to hide.

Ok Catherine, AKA, Cindy's puppet.

Tue, October 11, 2005

Catherine, you are 100% right. This is a public forum and you do have every right to post here.

But let's review shall we?

I have a legitimate complaint with Fenwald.

It seems Kenneth, from Tennessee has a legitimate complaint with Fenwald.

Dee Dee, is a mystery, but still seems to be trying to do the right thing by making a connection of two people that got ripped off. Nothing wrong with that.

I just don't really see where you fit into the picture. Are you trying to help anybody? I think there is no Catherine, I think it is just one of Cindy's multiple personalities.

As far as my papers and my attitude, I am over that, I am now a hero for the little guy. I am going to make it my life's work to make sure that nobody else falls for the lies and stories that I unfortunately did and got ripped off in the process. See "Catherine" there is not ONE part of my story that cannot be disproven. Sit here and post all you want. Any publicity is good publicity in this case, for me anyways. If you really wanted to make me look like a fool, I would prove my story to my unfounded. But you cannot. And the AKC does not lie. My dog is not registerable and neither is his mother. Prove me wrong. Prove me wrong. That would show the world what an idiot I am.

So until you can prove me wrong, I guess you can say whatever you may want to say, but there is ONE thing, just one little thing that you cannot HONESTLY say, and that is "JOE YOU ARE WRONG"


P.S. Dee Dee, whoever you are, thank you for making the connnection. It does help. The time will come one day, maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, but justice will be served, one way or another.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, if you are speaking for Ms. Hiemenz then say so. Identify yourself as her spokesperson. Otherwise BUD OUT! You have nothing in the world to do with this. How dare you call us "misinformed", you my feeble minded friend are the one that is "misinformed".

Catherine? Is it? Have you lost any money or been lied to (that you know of) by Ms. Hiemenz?

No??? THEN KEEP YOUR NOSE WHERE IT BELONGS, OUT OF OUR BUSINESS.

Just wanted to let you know I just read another report about this woman and kennel written by someone who is a co-owner of one of the dogs. I don't know if hooking up with him might be helpful to you but just thought I would let you know. You can find the report just a couple below yours under the animal services category, I think.

AKC UPDATE; NOT GOOD. OCTOBER 5,2005

#52Author of original report

Thu, October 06, 2005

The woman handling my case against Fenwald called me today. She asked me if I recieved my letter yet. I said no, but inquired as to what it was about. She then went on to read it to me. Basically, without word for word, (which I will post when I have it in my hand probably tomorrow) "Due to the fact that the Dam Gabriela von Fenwald cannot be registered with the AKC, we regret to inform you due to AKC rules and regulations that your pup will not be able to be registered with the AKC neither". Again the exact words will be posted believe me, she was a nice woman, she reminded me that Kane is still the same dog he was before I left for work this morning, I agreed, but reminded her that this was never an issue. The FACT that I paid $2300.00 plus tax for an AKC registered puppy was the issue. They are very nice down at the AKC. I thanked her for her help and she told me that we would definetlely be in touch.

So back to square one. October 5, 2005 Kane's actually 9 months old today. Happy Birthday Kane. Well that's all I got for today for those of you reading. I'm still without what I paid for.

Please remember while Fenwald does have some great dogs, please if you are going to purchase one, PLEASE I BEG YOU, read before you sign and make SURE you get everything you paid for before YOU LEAVE HER PREMISES.

Good night everyone.

I'm still looking for his littermates. Born 1/5/05. "K" litter, if you or someone you know has one, drop me a line. I would love to exchange pictures and stories about them growing up.

Fenwald Kennels, Imke registered

#52Author of original report

Sat, October 01, 2005

I have been notified today 9-30-05 that Imke vom Haus Hera has gotten her AKC registration issues taken care of as of today.

To the best of my knowledge that is now a fact.

It is also my understanding that even though Imke, Dam to Gabriela, Gabriela being the Dam to my pup Kane, Gabriela cannot or will not be able to be registered with the AKC because the one year has more than passed on Gabriela's birth. If this is the case, which from what I understand from the AKC it is indeed the case, then my pup Kane also will not be able to be registered with the AKC as promised at the time of purchase and contractually.

I had a discussion with Cindy of von Fenwald today, and she seems to think that my pup's papers are just around the corner. I explained to her that if that happens that I will publicly apologize and leave it at that.

I am so confused, the AKC tells me one thing, that my dog will NEVER be AKC registered, and Cindy tells me that he will. Who do I believe? The jury is still out on that one. Why the AKC would lie to me? I don't know, maybe they just don't know the whole story. Cindy gave me her word that she is working on this and I WILL UPDATE EVERYBODY on the progress.

UPDATE #1 - KANE STILL HAS NO AKC PAPERS (9-30-05), Joe Walczak, of Shorewood, Illinois is still out $2300 plus tax on a dog that has no AKC papers.

Thank you folks for taking the time to read my update, check back often, I promise I will continue to update the situtation.

Until then, if you are looking for a Fantastic German Shepherd, call Cindy, she has a great facility, good dogs (or at least mine is, I can't speak for others) just do your due diligence and if you decide to purchase a pup from Cindy, congratulations! Good Choice! Just make sure you have EVERYTHING that you paid for when you leave her premises. And do not pay for excuses. Make sure you TOTALLY and COMPLETELY understand the language in the contract/agreement. I never planned on breeding, but there is some pretty TECHNICAL language in the contract about what you can and can't do with your dog as far as breeding. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN WRITING AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO BRING EVERYTHING THAT YOU PAID FOR HOME WITH THE PUPPY/DOG THAT YOU ARE TAKING HOME WITH YOU OR ARE HAVING SHIPPED TO YOU.

Other than that, chances are you are going to get a beautiful dog. We love ours to death. It's just sad that a pretty decent friendship had to be ruined over the FACT that I picked up my puppy on March 11, 2005 and here it is say October 1, 2005 and still don't have what I paid for. His AKC papers.

I am no stranger to buying dogs. I have in the last 3 years bought two other German Shepherds from a different breeder, and at 8 weeks old when I picked up my puppies that, other breeder had my AKC registration right there for me to sign even before I left her home with the new puppies. So I know it can happen.

If you are following this saga, please check back often, I am hoping for a happy ending, but as each day goes by so does my hope.

Thank you everybody for reading
