To whom it may concern: As you can see from this report which I filed on 7/28/06 and updated on 9/27/06 the report states what I have been saying all along about Bob Cox. He is a liar, a ripoff, and an unethical breeder. Bob Cox to this day has not yet contacted the Illinois Attorney General's office. Their office sent him a demand letter months ago for the $1000 that he owes me on the "Blitz" dog. I talked to J.K. consumer protection advocate on 12/05/06 and the letter that was written to Mr. Cox demanding him to pay me, was sent out months ago and Mr. Cox will NOT respond, nor will he pay up! That's why he has a law suit pending with the courts to be heard next week. My original complaint was filed against Mr. Cox with the Illinois Attorney General's office in August of 2006. He also had complaints filed against him with the AKC as well. It took that complaint to the AKC to enforce his signature on the litter application. After months of his refusal to sign off he did so because he was in fear that the AKC would suspend his membership meaning that he could not register any future offspring, so he knew he had to sign those papers if not he couldn't peddle the crap dogs he sells to unsuspecting buyers. Once he was forced to sign the application FOR AKC, he now thought he was entitled to a pup, and once I allowed him to get the pup, he refused to come pick it up. I sent him a certified letter dated 10/31/06 allowing him until 11/06/06 to pick the pup up, and PRIOR to my certified letter to him, my attorney wrote him a letter stating to pick up the pup, and Mr. Cox refused, he wanted a THIRD party to come pick up the puppy, because he is the COWARD and didn't want to face me. The pup was sold on 11/16/06 because I was not going to board anymore dogs for Mr. Cox as I been doing so since July the 11th on the Blitz dog. He can slander and lie but can't face anyone face to face. But that's okay because the pup is in a wonderful, loving home the family he is with Bob Cox could NEVER ever, ever come even close in providing the love and care to this pup as he is receiving now. Bob Cox cares NOTHING, NOTHING about the dogs he sells, nor the people whom he sells to, his main concern is getting every cent he can get his hands on. Bottom line. Money is his #1 priority nothing else matters. That's why I say he has NO business in the dog business, he needs a new hobby. But it doesn't stop there, he has now bashed a member of our military here's Mr. Cox's post. The post below is from a Sgt in the U.S. Marine Corps who responded to Mr. Cox's slander about me... Ladies and gentlemen my name is Sgt Axxxx Pxxxx, I am a 7 years veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I happen to have inside information concerning this problem. I purchased a male german shepard from Ms. Roberts about a year and a half ago. And I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, that he is by far the greatest quality of animal it has ever been my privilage to own. Ms. Roberts has always bred the dogs she has owned and she has been highly regarded by everyone that has purchased a dog from her. Mr. Cox on the other hand has had several complaints proir to this. The problem with Mr. Cox is that he has inferior dogs with hernias and finds unsuppecting people who want to breed with his dogs. Ms. Roberts lost approximatly $5000 dollars due to the low quality of his dogs. And it took Mr. Cox 4 months to finally sign the AKC papers, only to cover his trail and not anger the AKC. Mr. Cox is a coward and a thief. I have had two tours in Iraq and never have I seen such an evil man. For your own safety please stay away from Mr. Cox and allow the proper authorities to deal with him. Ms. Roberts will be in my prayers and the good lord will take care of the rest. Thank you for your time and Semper Fi. Allen - Camp Schwab, Okinowa Japan, Asia U.S.A. THIS IS HOW MR. COX replied.... Sgt Axxxx Pxxxx Mr.Marine I am so happy you got a gsd from Kathy Roberts. It is great that you are happy with it. The problem is that your inside information is just B.S. that you were told by this woman with serious mental problems. By the way a COWARD is someone who does not have enough BALLS to say it in person and has to say it from many many miles away. You must be one bad a*s soldier. HA HA. You think you know a lot about her and her business,and you only bought a dog from her ,yea right! I have never sold a dog with a hernia,unlike Kathy Roberts!!! Everthing I said has been proven in court. And Kathys B.S.??????? She just sold 5 pups with hernias!!!!! Bob Bob - Nashville, Illinois U.S.A. This post from Mr. Cox is outrageous, disgusting, and uncalled for. Its bad enough Mr. Cox has no respect for women, by calling them bitches in public places, and now he has shown his true colors by attacking our service men, is this the kind of person YOU want to do business with? Certainly not me. Thousands of our men and women have fallen while fighting for "our" freedom, and this is the thanks that one of our fine Marines get? This is proof that Mr. Cox has no respect for himself, or anyone else. This is totally uncalled for. I am totally appalled by Mr. Cox's reponse to this Sgt.

I filed a complaint against Bob Cox, DBA: "Cox's Vom Shepherdhaus Kennels", AKA "Cox K9's", "Vom Shepherdhaus", (( link removed by ROR)) I filed my complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's office on 8/10/06. After the Attorney General's office received my complaint, they contacted Bob Cox by mail. Mr. Cox called the Attorney General's office on 8/24/06 to ask for an extension. Today's date is 9/27/06 over a month has passed and Mr. Cox will NOT respond to the Illinois Attorney General's office. I wonder why, perhaps guilty of FRAUD? I also filed a complaint against Bob Cox and his business with the Better Business Bureau on 8/10/06. On 8/24/06 Mr. Cox replied to the BBB with this: "I paid Aaron's driver up front, since I was going to be meeting with Kathy the next day and figured I'd be reimburse." On July 24, 2006 Mr. Cox sent me a certified letter and he stated this: "I wrote you a receipt for the cash and forwarded it to Aaron." There are two conflicting statements here! Bob Cox is nothing but a FRAUD, a RIP-OFF, and a LIAR! He tells the Better Business Bureau he paid for the dog up front by giving his money out of pocket to the "driver". Then he states in a certified letter to me that he sent the money that I paid down ($1000) cash to Aaron. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he didn't pay TWICE for the dog. My $1000 cash went into Bob Cox's pocket. Period! End of story! Does Bob Cox think we are all stupid? Bob Cox states to the BBB that he didn't get a receipt from the "driver". He states he paid cash up front the night before I bought the dog. He states he did not know the driver. He states he mailed my $1000 cash to Aaron Pickard, yet he doesn't know Aaron's address! WOW what's wrong with this story??? Why would Bob Cox pay up front for a dog especially not knowing if I would take it or not? Why would anyone pay CASH to someone they do not know? Why wouldn't you get a receipt? Why would you send $1000 CASH to someone through the mail? Why can't Bob reveal Aaron Pickard's address in Elkhart, IN? The Wood River, IL police came to Bob's work site and he lied to the Police when they asked for Aaron's address. What does Bob Cox have to hide? (PLENTY) It is evident Bob Cox is caught up in his own lies. In case you are reading this Bob, the Attorney General is still waiting for your response. He figured you and Aaron out as well. You can't con people who deal with "your kind" on a daily basis! I can only assume this...Bob Cox bought the dog, "Blitz" from his good friend, Aaron Pickard for $400 exactly what Aaron paid for the dog, because the dog was useless to Aaron, he had him for awhile now, clearly could not afford feed for the dog, NOR any health care, that was obvious the day we got him. The dog couldn't breed and he also has a defect. So since Bob Cox knew I was looking for a "stud" that's when the perfect opportunity arose for Bob to make some $$$ and Aaron to unload a worthless dog. I doubt that Bob was spliting the money as Bob told me numerous times that he wanted ALL payments made to him ONLY. He was going to have the AKC papers put in HIS name, but I found out that was impossible as well. So even if this dog was a stud, without a defect he couldn't be registered with AKC. There again worthless without papers. Nothing but a SCAM! I sent copies of Blitz' imported pedigree papers to AKC case management dept & to the foreign registry dept., along with a letter to let them know the fraud that these two men are commiting. On 8/15/06 at 4:08 p.m. Bob Cox submitted the following to the pedigree database forum as facts: "Fact 8: She filed a claim with the Ill att. General office and they sent me a copy of her hand written complaint.I sent back copys of her emails and they proved that she was all lies." Another lie! I printed out Bob Cox's post and sent them to the Illinois Attorney General's office & I asked them for copies of emails that Bob Cox stated that he sent to them. Its very interesting as Bob Cox has NOT submitted anything to them, other than a phone call he made on 8/24/06 begging for a 2 wk extension. Here Bob Cox is lying about a Gov't Agency! The IL Attny General's office re-sent Bob Cox another letter on 9/14/06 once again requesting that he get in touch with them. Why is he avoiding the Illinois Attorney General's office??? The Attorney General's office and I have talked in lenght about Bob Cox and we went over multiple conflicts in his statements that he's made in emails, in letters etc, I have everything prepared to take to court. I am hoping that the Attny General's office will file charges against him. On 8/14/06 a lady posted the following on the pedigree database: "I know for a fact that Aaron did not import this dog. He bought it from a friend of mine in Florida for 400. My friend imported this dog at age one and had it for less than 6 months. He did not breed in Argentina, he was bought for resale for a pet. Aaron told my friend that he sold it to a family for a pet. If you like email me personally and I will get you in touch with the original importer of this dog. THe only freight bill is from FLorida to Indiana. Good luck.." I called this lady after we emailed each other, and Jill informed me that her friend "Sen" in FL., purchased this dog and he did in fact sell this dog to Bob Cox's friend Aaron Pickard in the amount of $400. USD. FOR A PET! (FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS) My price was an outrageous $3000 (THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS) for a "top notch stud" that's what Bob referred Blitz to a "top notch stud". I am not concerned about the profit, its the mere fact that Bob Cox knowingly, and willfully sold me a dog that was of no use to me whatsoever. Bob knew for a fact that Blitz was NOT stud quality. I sent emails to Bob stating I was needing a "stud" for my breeding females. Bob Cox tells lie after lie after lie! He's only been in the German Shepherd business for a short time, he knows absolutely NOTHING about these dogs. When you treat people so WRONG as he did me, soon enough he will not be in business for long. I can only hope its sooner than later. Believe me, I am not alone here. I have many emails from others complaining about Bob Cox and his "breeding" practices. Bob Cox is advertising puppies on his website and I would use extreme caution in buying ANYTHING from that man. He also advertises his stud, Marco on his website. If you do any business with this man have an attorney draw up a contract. In the long run, it wouldn't be worth it. There are many good breeders out there that sell top quality dogs, and are true to their word. Don't waste your time with Bob Cox. I wouldn't advise anyone using his stud, I used his stud (per HIS request) and he lied once AGAIN, this time about litter papers. Bob Cox is one big bag of garbage! Its ashame that no one can trust anyone anymore, everything has to be in writing, or better yet in blood, it use to be a hand shake and your word meant the world. HUH! Bob Cox's word means absolutely NOTHING! He's a man that lives beyond his means, and sells junk dogs for top dollar to pay his bills. He cares NOTHING about the people who he sells to that much is obvious. So if a man has little regard to his buyers what does that say about what he's selling? Bob Cox does much advertising in the Southern Illinois Trader newspapers, and the online classifieds. I will be traveling soon to Illinois to file my claim against him in small claims court. My advise to people out there that's thinking of doing business with Bob Cox...BUYER BEWARE!!!

After the Attorney General's office received my complaint, they contacted Bob Cox by mail. Mr. Cox called the Attorney General's office on 8/24/06 to ask for an extension. Today's date is 9/27/06 over a month has passed and Mr. Cox will NOT respond to the Illinois Attorney General's office. I wonder why, perhaps guilty of FRAUD? I also filed a complaint against Bob Cox and his business with the Better Business Bureau on 8/10/06. On 8/24/06 Mr. Cox replied to the BBB with this: "I paid Aaron's driver up front, since I was going to be meeting with Kathy the next day and figured I'd be reimburse." On July 24, 2006 Mr. Cox sent me a certified letter and he stated this: "I wrote you a receipt for the cash and forwarded it to Aaron." There are two conflicting statements here! Bob Cox is nothing but a FRAUD, a RIP-OFF, and a LIAR! He tells the Better Business Bureau he paid for the dog up front by giving his money out of pocket to the "driver". Then he states in a certified letter to me that he sent the money that I paid down ($1000) cash to Aaron. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he didn't pay TWICE for the dog. My $1000 cash went into Bob Cox's pocket. Period! End of story! Does Bob Cox think we are all stupid? Bob Cox states to the BBB that he didn't get a receipt from the "driver". He states he paid cash up front the night before I bought the dog. He states he did not know the driver. He states he mailed my $1000 cash to Aaron Pickard, yet he doesn't know Aaron's address! WOW what's wrong with this story??? Why would Bob Cox pay up front for a dog especially not knowing if I would take it or not? Why would anyone pay CASH to someone they do not know? Why wouldn't you get a receipt? Why would you send $1000 CASH to someone through the mail? Why can't Bob reveal Aaron Pickard's address in Elkhart, IN? The Wood River, IL police came to Bob's work site and he lied to the Police when they asked for Aaron's address. What does Bob Cox have to hide? (PLENTY) It is evident Bob Cox is caught up in his own lies. In case you are reading this Bob, the Attorney General is still waiting for your response. He figured you and Aaron out as well. You can't con people who deal with "your kind" on a daily basis! I can only assume this...Bob Cox bought the dog, "Blitz" from his good friend, Aaron Pickard for $400 exactly what Aaron paid for the dog, because the dog was useless to Aaron, he had him for awhile now, clearly could not afford feed for the dog, NOR any health care, that was obvious the day we got him. The dog couldn't breed and he also has a defect. So since Bob Cox knew I was looking for a "stud" that's when the perfect opportunity arose for Bob to make some $$$ and Aaron to unload a worthless dog. I doubt that Bob was spliting the money as Bob told me numerous times that he wanted ALL payments made to him ONLY. He was going to have the AKC papers put in HIS name, but I found out that was impossible as well. So even if this dog was a stud, without a defect he couldn't be registered with AKC. There again worthless without papers. Nothing but a SCAM! I sent copies of Blitz' imported pedigree papers to AKC case management dept & to the foreign registry dept., along with a letter to let them know the fraud that these two men are commiting. On 8/15/06 at 4:08 p.m. Bob Cox submitted the following to the pedigree database forum as facts: "Fact 8: She filed a claim with the Ill att. General office and they sent me a copy of her hand written complaint.I sent back copys of her emails and they proved that she was all lies." Another lie! I printed out Bob Cox's post and sent them to the Illinois Attorney General's office & I asked them for copies of emails that Bob Cox stated that he sent to them. Its very interesting as Bob Cox has NOT submitted anything to them, other than a phone call he made on 8/24/06 begging for a 2 wk extension. Here Bob Cox is lying about a Gov't Agency! The IL Attny General's office re-sent Bob Cox another letter on 9/14/06 once again requesting that he get in touch with them. Why is he avoiding the Illinois Attorney General's office??? The Attorney General's office and I have talked in lenght about Bob Cox and we went over multiple conflicts in his statements that he's made in emails, in letters etc, I have everything prepared to take to court. I am hoping that the Attny General's office will file charges against him. On 8/14/06 a lady posted the following on the pedigree database: "I know for a fact that Aaron did not import this dog. He bought it from a friend of mine in Florida for 400. My friend imported this dog at age one and had it for less than 6 months. He did not breed in Argentina, he was bought for resale for a pet. Aaron told my friend that he sold it to a family for a pet. If you like email me personally and I will get you in touch with the original importer of this dog. THe only freight bill is from FLorida to Indiana. Good luck.." I called this lady after we emailed each other, and Jill informed me that her friend "Sen" in FL., purchased this dog and he did in fact sell this dog to Bob Cox's friend Aaron Pickard in the amount of $400. USD. FOR A PET! (FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS) My price was an outrageous $3000 (THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS) for a "top notch stud" that's what Bob referred Blitz to a "top notch stud". I am not concerned about the profit, its the mere fact that Bob Cox knowingly, and willfully sold me a dog that was of no use to me whatsoever. Bob knew for a fact that Blitz was NOT stud quality. I sent emails to Bob stating I was needing a "stud" for my breeding females. Bob Cox tells lie after lie after lie! He's only been in the German Shepherd business for a short time, he knows absolutely NOTHING about these dogs. When you treat people so WRONG as he did me, soon enough he will not be in business for long. I can only hope its sooner than later. Believe me, I am not alone here. I have many emails from others complaining about Bob Cox and his "breeding" practices. Bob Cox is advertising puppies on his website and I would use extreme caution in buying ANYTHING from that man. He also advertises his stud, Marco on his website. If you do any business with this man have an attorney draw up a contract. In the long run, it wouldn't be worth it. There are many good breeders out there that sell top quality dogs, and are true to their word. Don't waste your time with Bob Cox. I wouldn't advise anyone using his stud, I used his stud (per HIS request) and he lied once AGAIN, this time about litter papers. Bob Cox is one big bag of garbage! Its ashame that no one can trust anyone anymore, everything has to be in writing, or better yet in blood, it use to be a hand shake and your word meant the world. HUH! Bob Cox's word means absolutely NOTHING! He's a man that lives beyond his means, and sells junk dogs for top dollar to pay his bills. He cares NOTHING about the people who he sells to that much is obvious. So if a man has little regard to his buyers what does that say about what he's selling? Bob Cox does much advertising in the Southern Illinois Trader newspapers, and the online classifieds. I will be traveling soon to Illinois to file my claim against him in small claims court. My advise to people out there that's thinking of doing business with Bob Cox...BUYER BEWARE!!!
