Tammy, Their are numerous agencies, veterinarian clinics and past customers of the Ellerbachs in the Iowa, Illinois & Wisconsin tri-state area willing to defend your and/or state their own case. Will contact you per your ad Oct. 16.

Well here I am again!!! Since my last report Jim and Karen Ellerbach have hired an attorney and the firm has sent me a letter stating I am slandering their client. I am to immediately remove all postings on this site, any other site, and make a public apolgy. After reading over all reports on more time (argh), I just don't see the slander. The Ellerbach's have stated on this site I have 33 german shepherds (I do?-NO I DON'T), talked about my breeding practices, accused me of making my dog suffer by not taking him to the vet when in pain (for a month), and lied to me again. Harley went to the vet in 3 DAYS when limping began! I am NOT a breeder. Karen did you talk to someone elses vet? I will not appologize for telling my personal story and personal grief. I have only stated facts, and asked many questions (that have not been answered on this site). The attorney states all complaints are unfounded! I HAVE A PUPPY THAT HAS GENETIC HIP DYSPLASIA!!! I have sent Jim and Karen Ellerbach proof from my vet by registered mail as requested by the Ellerbach's. I stated on the telephone and on this site, if anything else is needed where do I send it? How is this unfounded??? I also received a response from the Better Business Bureau. The Ellerbach's attorney states all accusations are unfounded. I still don't see how this can be considered UNFOUNDED!! I am wondering what laws are stated in Iowa? Could it be possible to picket or take legal action? I will putting an ad in the Rockford Register Star beginning on October 16th looking for any further information. Please feel free to call me! OCTOBER 16TH, 2008 Tammy Harley my best friend Loves Park, Illinois

Tammy, I sympathize with all you are having to deal with because of the Ellerbach's greed for money. We (my husband et I) were also dubbed by the Ellerbachs. All the lies told to you were also told to us. We were also told that they had no problems with hip dysplasia et that their male dog was going to be OFA certified. Our complaint is also filed on this site. It is titled "The red flags were there but I failed to notice them." If any one is interested in filing a class action lawsuit against this business I will gladly donate time, money, to close this business down. Think about it if sears or any other retailer were selling defective merchandise complaints would be filed with the Better Business Bureau. You will get no where with the Ellerbach's. As for this joke of a libel suit, I would never retract what I said. The truth shall prevail!!!!! My heart goes out to you. The fact is, Harley is the one suffering in pain. If Jim et Karen truly love their animals as they claim, they would not be breeding defective animals for the almighty dollar!!!!

Did you take him to the vet or not !! Also read your Contract !! We want proof !!! You have not proved anything to us !! You said you bought him as a breeder. You also said you have 33 female Germ Shepherds.. ARE you a licenesed kennel or a back yard breeder !!!! We are a Licenesed kennel and we have rules & regulations !! I'm sure you as a kennel you have your rules !! I told Tami i would call her back Fri evening or Sat. morning.Yes i was going to call you in the morning to tell you yes i have the contract & yes you need proof from the vet !! Just like it states on the contract !!! You are worried about a couple of days for me to get back to you, and it took you howww many days to get him to a vet.. Thats if you did take him !!! I'm sure there's been a time or two when you misplaced something !!! Sat.morning 8:00, Aug 23 -2008 Brad called insisitng that we change the contract !! That already has been signed over 1 year ago. You said this pup was limping over a month & in alot of pain. WHY didnt you call the vet right away instead of letting the pup suffer that long !! And we cannot beleive that you wouldnt of called us !! Most any one if they would have a problem would take a pup to the vet right away! Not a month later !!! Like we said all we ask for is proof from the vet.. Jim asked you for your vet phone number and you would not give it to him !! Jim & Karen
