Complaint Review: Alena Strelaeff- Alena's Dogs Labradoodle Passion - BC Doodles - Victoria British Columbia

This is posted on Alena's website.

We are accepting donations to help cover the loss of our belongings and to help rebuild our family.

What a scammer! What .. no house insurance???

How is it Alena and her family got out of the house but the four legged dogs didn't. Because the fire was in the shed and the dogs were locked in the shed.

There is no report of a house fire.

This woman has been placing dogs in Guardianships for years and then breeding them over and over. The Guardians pay the bills. All profit and no expense. Now she wants a hand out!!

Why is she hiding???

What is she hiding???

After reading all the updates about the fire, I would like to provide some insight that will hopefully help readers determine the truth for themselves. We fostered the dog that had the puppies and was killed in the fire. For 20 months, Kallie was raised in a loving home environment with 3 children that loved her dearly. She was well cared for in our home and gave us much love and joy, and we loved her back equally. My children are heartbroken that she is gone.

Regarding Alenas Labradoodle Passion site, it is up and running again. It is now a memorial page for the dogs that were killed in the fire. You will see a picture of my son hugging Kallie. He is the main reason we got her in the first place. He dearly wanted a dog, and Kallie was his first pet. He was crazy about her. He still cries himself to sleep almost every night. Now an update reports that the fire is arson and there is a suspect? I will be contacting the police to confirm if this is indeed true, and keep myself updated with the investigation if it is. The tragic deaths of these dogs have created a tremendous amount of anguish for 2 families, and I simply cannot fathom that someone could be criminally responsible for this. Oh, and we also contacted the fire department about what happened. As mentioned in the update, they may not have a record of a house fire, but they do have a record of a barn fire, not a shed fire.

I personally find the postings being placed about the fire to be written in a callous manner by the author(s). Let Alenas and my family grieve in peace, and not be hurt any more by these comments.

The war of words was started by Alena 2 years ago with malicious postings on her site and on KIJIJI. Then she started malicious threads on Rip- Off report and other forums. She was removed from www.goldendoodles.com because of her attacks on kennels. Many breeders listed on this site are kennels. You can always contact the site manager and ask her yourself.

Notice I sign my threads as I have nothing to hide. Alena sold me a Labradoodle that sheds like a retriever and I can't give away and a Poodle that has poor pigmentation so I gave him away. Alena signs with different names and suggests she is an employee.  I opened a lawsuit against Strealeff in the BC Supreme Court because she has maliciously slandered our family business without regard for the consequences.

She continues to write that there are containers buried underground and we keep the dogs in them. She also claims the SPCA visited in Oct/09 and seized dogs.

Why not call for yourself and see if any dogs were seized then you will know who is the liar: 

                                               SPCA Sunshine Coast 604-885-0401

                                               SPCA Head office Eileen Drever 604-709-4670

                                               SPCA Special Constable 604-834-4928

51 adult dogs were examined and 2 were found to have a (one) matt and 4 older dogs had some tartar on their teeth. Impressive no matter how you look at it. All 4 dogs with tartar have since visited the vet and had their teeth cleaned.

Alena has mislead the public for years saying she is a small hobby breeder but she places bitches in guardianship homes all over Vancouver Island. When I bought a stud from her she wanted him back to breed a dozen or so times in a year.

The recent fire that killed 2 moms (one pregnant and one with a litter) is tragic but they were in a shed and not in Alena's home. The true comesw out!!! 

All her ads that say home raised (not kennel dogs) were lies. Can you imagine 10 little puppiues running around the house elimanating everywhere. Her friend Liz is currently selling Alena's puppies from a Guardianship in the Cowichan Valley.

I personnally think that Guardianship Programs are a great idea. Hiding the fact is misleading the public. So the question remains, Why can't she be open and honest.

 So I challenge you Alena. Sign your name Alena, if you have nothing to worry about "Sign your name" If anything you say is true "Sign your name".

In my opinion, it's very clear this man needs to see someone about his behavior.

He continues to story tell and post false statements, slander and cause defamation towards others. His reactions fueled by hate are disturbing.  If he could only get his head out of his asswhole for long enough maybe he then could think straight. Blaming and posting against others for what is happening at his own kennel is also very disturbing.

I do believe all his postings are reflecting on what is happening at his own kennel and life. He is trying to blame others and hide the truth to what is happening in his own life.  

It is clear this man is troubled and would benefit by getting some professional help. With his lengthy problems, police reports, court case against him and so many upset people this man needs to look at himself for why is this happening? Its people reactions to Jamie Sheppard own behavior.

I do think he needs to look into mental disorders. He clearly has a childhood history of abuse or neglect that has led him into a life of abusing others.  This man needs to stop and look with in himself to heal his life. For his family, he needs to stop taking advantage of people. Pay his fines, and get help.

Its pretty clear to anyone with a brain to realize this site is for breeders and since Alena isn't breeding why would she be listed.

Grow up Jamie, this women is a very kind hearted lady that loves her animals and gave you several top quality dogs on good faith that you took from her and never paid for. I look forward to seeing her graduate as an animal control officer, so she can stop such horrible puppy farming.

I'm glad she has learned through all this BS from Winsome Kennels just how low some breeders will go. It's sad anyone can mock and slander someone name on this site.

Winsome kennels keeps his dogs in wooden sheds and buried in metal cargo containers with no windows how sad is this! 
 

SPCA takes several dogs from wisome kennels Oct 09, have to wonder how many times he was warned before such actions had to be taken.

I wonder why Alena Strealeff was given the boot by goldendoodles.com. Maybe because she is disturbed. Word has it they were tired of her BS. Check for yourself at www.goldendoodles.com .

Can you believe this woman? She claims her dogs all died in the fire yet the fire department has no record of a house fire but Alena claims the puppies are raised in a loving home.  If she can open the door and get out herself then why couldn't the dogs? Because they were locked in a shed. Now she is slandering Mr. Sheppard again saying he is the suspect in the arson. I suppose he shut down her website as well. What goes around comes around. To bad it was the dogs that suffered and not Alena.

Jamie is the main suspect to arson and the murder of all Alena's Doodles. Alena and Kevin were hurt in the fire while attempting to save their family pets and the one litter of puppies.

The puppies were in no way located in a shed as Jamie claims, but raised in a loving family home. This man will go to great lengths to harm Alena, even to post false lies right after their family suffers such a horrible loss. To loose all their animals and belonging in a fire!!

Come on this man is f**kING IN SANE!! HEART LESS AND EVIL!

If anyone has heard Mr. Sheppard bragging about starting this fire. Please contact the RCMP, charges are pending.

Well, well. Finally the proof is out. Tragically, a whole litter of puppies died in a fire in a shed that Alena was keeping her b***h and puppies in. She advertises "raised in a loving home environment" I wonder what kind of a spin she will try and put on this story. Oh ya, by the way, she has already removed all the listings and her website Labradoodle Passion. I wonder what she will call herself next time.

The local SPCA or Dog control officers would never allow dogs to be kept in sheds or anyone in the city to own so many dogs. It is clear by Labradoodle Passion web site and pictures her dogs are all well kept and home raised. It appears Jamie from Winsome Kennels continues to post slander about other breeders. Do to so many people suing this kennels owner it has caused him to distrust everyone around him and attack anyone that he believes has wronged him. He continues to assume all his problems are from one breeder in Victoria even with endless reports posted by breeders from all over BC. Anyone can see no one breeder could be behind so many complaints. No one breeder could be the owner or seller to all the Victoria or Vancouver Island puppies.

No breeder small or large would be able to be listed as a recommended labradoodle or golden doodle breeder if any of these false statements were at all truthful. View www.goldendoodles.com for recommended breeders Winsome Kennels is not listed. 

The public can clearly see Jamie enjoys harrassing this breeder. The multiple false reports are all written with common rants about the same thing.  Is this a kennel and breeder someone you would like to have dealings with? 

As Jamies Postings regularly change we have included his recent slander for records

This woman claims to be a small breeder with only a few litters a year yet has more names for her puppy breeding business than Heinz has ketchup. She is known for posting ads for several litters of puppies at the same time and for breeding her dogs every heat. She claims to only breed non-shedding dogs but clients are complaining all the time and she does nothing. Why does she list her address on Kijiji as Metoshin or Victoria? Is she so stupid she doesn't know where she lives or just trying to deceive the public? At last count her friend said she had 15 females. She keeps 4 labradoodles in a shed in her yard but advertises "Home Raised". I guess it's all a matter of interpitation. Wendy Victoria, British Columbia

It is actual best to breed every heat then to keep skipping them. There are many articles and information online where doctors and scientist have study birth and the cycles of females.

It has been proven that once you start to breed your female (start at 18months -3years) that you should continue on until you are ready to spay her (5-6 years). When you skip a heat you are causing more stress on the body because you are allowing more time for the uterus to heal. When the uterus is healed and then is forced to accommodate another litter, it is tearing new tissues and creating permanent damage.

When a female is allowed to keep breeding every heat until spayed (average about 4-5litters) then the uterus isn't healing upon itself, the new litter is using the same space from the previous litter and not creating more tissue damage.

This is how dogs did it naturally in the past and because we humans have an emotional attachment to our dogs, we believe we are giving the dog a break, when actually we are creating more inner damages to the female...

I would be more cautious of people who keep skipping heats when breeding their dog then someone who breeds every heat. It will show who actual did thorough research concerning the female anatomy in dogs and those who just followed word of mouth.

Good Luck with this breeder!
