Complaint Review: Jody Ingram - Golden Reighn Shih Tzu - Dallas Georgia

REGINA KITCHENS OF ROCKINGKSHIHTZU & JODY INGRAM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE AMENDS & I REGRET EVER WRITING THE REPORT ON REGINA KITCHENS. WE DID HAVE HARD FEELINGS AT EACHOTHER AT ONE TIME BUT I SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO HER INSTEAD OF HAVING HARD FEELINGS FUELED BY 3RD PARTIES. I TREASURE MY FRIENDSHIP WITH MRS KITCHENS NOW & DEEPLY APOLOGISE FOR WRITING SUCH NEGATIVE & HURTFUL THINGS ABOUT HER. SHE IS A GOOD LADY WHO CARES VERY MUCH FOR HER SHIH TZU & FAMILY. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR HER I WOULD HAVE LOST AN ENTIRE LITTER OF PUPPIES WHEN THEIR MOTHER BECAME ILL & WENT THROUGH SURGERY. REGINA HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO HELP ME CARE FOR THEM. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO PUT PERSONAL HARD FEELINGS AT SOMEONE ONLINE AS YOU MIGHT FIND THAT THEY ARE TRUELY YOUR BEST FRIEND WHEN THINGS ARE SAID & DONE. THANK YOU REGINA FOR ALL YOUR HELP & SUPPORT & FOR FORGIVING ME FOR PUTTING THIS MESS ON THE INTERNET. THANKS JODY

I will not respond to ignorance. The above reports speak for themselves. Oh, & by the way the dogs you are referring to next door were my mothers beloved pets. Two of them to be exact. I have found good home for both of them as pets several weeks ago. I will be glad to give anyone the new owners contact information. Regina, for the record I own 7 wonderful Shih Tzu of which none are as you put it bargain dogs. Also for your information since you might as well get it right I paid 6,000 for my Champion Redi & I have very nice dogs with great pedigrees. You are not worth my time.

Unlike Jody, I am a PROFESSIONAL hobby breeder with a limited number (10 to be exact) of only the BEST producers. (Unlike Jody, who, being the bargain shopper that she is, has so many dogs that several of them are living in the house next door to her as well as her own home). My expenses FAR exceed any revenue. I have well-kept records and receipts, as well as a separate bank account for my hobby. I also use a CPA for assistance. I am passionate about my hobby, and want only to raise the best of the breed. I promote my dogs by having them shown and therefore I maintain a professional handler (which is quite expensive when showing several dogs each year). I also maintain a professionally designed and maintained website, as well as countless other monthly expenses, such as full page advertising in top magazines. What does all this prove? Mine is an expensive hobby, not a lucrative business. FURTHERMORE, I am not afraid to admit that I WORK a REAL job outside the home in order to help support my hobby expenses. I have never been lazy or had to rely on relatives or government assistance to pay my bills. Jody has the nerve to ask me to 'drop it'. She expects me drop it after SHE by filed a Rip-OFF Report against me. She has spent just as much time in front of her computer, if not more. Notice how far Jody has strayed from her original allegations about the two dogs that were given to her and her mother. She is the one who has broken the contracts and slandered me. Frankly, I find Jody to be pathetic. Enough said.

IT IS VERY CLEAR REGINA HAS NO LIFE & HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN SIT IN FRONT OF HER COMPUTER & STEW ON WHAT KIND OF LIES SHE CAN COME UP WITH NEXT TO MAKE HERSELF FEEL GOOD. AS FAR AS ME STARTING MY LINE WITH TWO DOGS "PURCHASED" FROM MRS KITCHENS. I WOULDN'T GIVE 5 DOLLARS FOR HER BEST DOG IN HER BREEDING PROGRAM. NEITHER WOULD ANY OTHER REPUTABLE BREEDER I KNOW AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE REPORT ABOVE WITH HER NEEDY EMAILS BEGGING THE POLITELY UNNAMED KENNEL TO TRADE WITH HER FOR ONE OF HER WONDERFUL DOGS. SHE WAS SHOT DOWN QUICKLY. HOPEFULLY AFTER BREEDING FOR AS MANY YEARS AS SHE HAS I MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO HOLLER ABOUT, MY ONE AND ONLY LITTER THIS YEAR HAD ALL THEIR SHOTS DONE BY MY VETERINARIAN & I DO HAVE THE RECEIPTS SCANNED FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. I SHARE MY HOME WITH MY HEALTHY & HAPPY SHIH TZU THIS IS DOCUMENTED WITH MY COUNTY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE MRS KITCHENS IS GETTING HER FIGURES ON HOW MANY DOGS I HAVE BUT ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME VISIT WITH ME & COUNT MY DOGS ARE WELCOME. MY ADDRESS IS 545 COLE CREEK RD, DALLAS GA PUT ME IN MAP QUEST. DON'T BOTHER TO CALL AHEAD AS MY HOME & DOGS ARE ALWAYS CLEAN. REGINA I AM SENDING EMAILS OUT AS WE SPEAK TO YOUR PUPPY BUYERS & SEVERAL YOU HAVE SOLD AS SHOW PROSPECTS FOR 1,200 & 1,500, I HAVE ALREADY LOCATED SEVERAL & YOU ARE GOING TO NEED A CPA. SHOW YOUR RECORDS IF YOU REPORTED YOUR PUPPY SALES TO THE IRS OVER THE LAST 7 YEARS. LETS SEE WHO LYING. FIRST YOU TURNED ME IN FOR THE COUNTY LISCENSE, WHICH YOU SO PROUDLY BOAST OF. UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU I HAVE BROKEN NO LAWS! SECONDLY YOU NOW HAVE THE NEED TO SLANDER ME TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN WHICH IS A REFLECTION ON YOU ALSO. I TRIED TO BE YOUR FRIEND & STLL WOULD BE IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE SAD FACT THAT YOU CANT TAKE THE CHANCE OF SOMEONE BREEDING QUALITY SHIH TZU 3 MILES AS YOU PUT IT FROM YOU HOME. REGINA I AM FED UP WITH ALL THIS & IF YOU FEEL A NEED TO CONTINUE THIS IN AN ADULT MANNER WE WILL GO TO THE COURTS. WHY RUIN YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING IT A BAD NAME THAT NEVER GOES AWAY ON HERE & PUTTING ME DOWN FOR HAVING MY LITTLE HOBBY. I JUST LOST MY MOTHER & IF YOU HAVE ANY COMPASSION IN YOU, WE WILL BOTH DROP THIS. YOU MIGHT HATE ME BUT THERE ARE MANY IN GA WHO PROBABLY DON'T LIKE YOU JUST THE SAME & YOU HAVE HARASSED THEM ALSO, IN EFFORTS TO HURT THEIR BREEDING PROGRAM AS WELL. THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST DOGS & ITS NOT A CONTEST ON WHO IS BETTER THAN WHO, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY LEARN THAT WHEN YOU LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY COME HOME & I HOPE WHEN IT DOES YOU WONT HAVE SOMEONE TAKING CHEAP SHOTS AT YOU WHEN YOU ARE AT YOU WORST. I WOULD HAVE NEVER POSTED THE 1ST REPORT I DID ON YOU IF YOU HAD NOT TAKEN IT UPON YOURSELF TO SAY SUCH AWFUL & UNTRUE THINGS TO PEOPLE I HAD DONE BUSINESS WITH. THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR & VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

Response to latest comment: The male was given to Jody, the female was given to her MOTHER, Judy Smith, who was seriously ill and resided next door to Jody. At the time, they had no other dogs, and Golden Reighn Shih Tzu did not exist. Jody swore she was not a breeder and she promised me that she only wanted a pet to love. Ditto for her mother. After her mother passed away, Jody fraudulently put Jazzy in her OWN name instead of returning her to me, as she was supposed to do, according to our signed agreement. Frankly, I am afraid to know the number of dogs Jody has acquired for breeding over the past year. I fear for ALL of them, because Jody recently bought a box of 7-way vaccinations from a local tractor supply store. OBVIOUSLY she is unaware that the Leptospirosis vaccine can cause fatal reactions in toy dogs. Clearly, another indication of her ignorance. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, Michelle. I should have RUN the moment Jody came knocking on my door. I have definitely learned a lesson: not to trust her.

I am sorry for your lose but why would you give a person who is unethical a male and female? only wondering why or how these people get quality shih-tzus? I had a phone call for my puppies and did not hesitate to turn her away or anyone. I was just wondering did it not seem suspicious to you 1st a female then a male?

SEE REPORT BELOW, THIS PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT ALL UP. I HAVE NO NEED TO ADD ANYTHING FURTHER. MRS KITCHENS IS DESPIRATELY TRYING TO COVER HER TRACKS & AS USUAL SHE IS " NEVER IN THE WRONG". I DONT THINK MRS KITCHENS WANTS ME TO CONTACT THE NUMEROUS OTHER BREEDERS WHO HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH HER AS WELL. First of all Regina Kitchens being the generous person she is would not 'out of the goodness of her heart' given me AKC & CKC papers on the Dog's if she did not mean for them to be bred nor if she had not been paid for them in the first place. People don'n just give dogs away as pets with papers. I think if Mrs Kitchens put as much energy in her breeding program as she does in running her mouth & getting in other peoples buisness, she might have something to brag about. She is so proud of her AKC Champions she has to resort to contacting professional breeders I have done buisness with to brag to, lie, & put me down to, while at the same time ask them to sell her one of their dogs. Below you will see a copy of one of these emails in which she has sunk to her lowest level thus far.

When only a year ago, she had no dogs, and she came walking up to my door begging and pleading for a female, (to be for her mother who was bedridden) and a male for herself, to be her pet. She had no money, and sweet-talked me into giving her two dogs. I had sympathy for her I was ready to 'retire' a couple of my dogs. She signed agreements to give me a puppy back from each litter, (which she did that for only the first litter). ALSO she was supposed to return the female, 'Jazzy', to me when her mother could no longer keep her. Jazzy has not been returned to me. As a matter of fact, she took steps to ensure that Jazzy would not have to be returned to me. She told me that I had misspelled her name on the papers, but I knew better. Her name and her mother's name are very similar, so she simply changed one letter and thus put JAZZY in her own name. Lately she made the comment to a friend of mine in NC: 'There is a way around everything.' This sums up her character perfectly. The sad fact of the matter is, I showed her everything I knew, EVERYTHING.... I did my best to help her. Only to be blindsided. She moved so quickly. She created a website and said FULL registration would always be given with each puppy. I kept trying to 'mentor' her, but she pretty much shut the door on me. I am praying that I can get over what happened and let it go. I'll take solice in your words. Maybe she'll some day she will regret it. Take care, Regina > wrote: HI REGINA .

I am sorry I do not have a show puppy at this time I am bringing them all to the National I may visit you and see your new champions while I am in town. And I will be visiting Jody as well she invited me to stay at her house during the National quite sometime back. Best Wishes with your dogs Regina Kitchens wrote: Absolutely NOTHING.

Sorry my 1st email was so redundant; I should have proof-read it. I noticed that Jody bought Reddi from you. She and Jackie Bozeman are very good friends. I know Jody: she got her first Shih Tzus from me, just last year. She lives 3 miles from me. She was never very honest with me. I tried to mentor her, but she went on a rampage and started buying lots of females from ANY and everybody. She bought several pet females, and 2 came from a puppy mill. Next thing I knew, Jody had 15 dogs in her doublewide trailer. Oh well, can't seem to talk sense into some people. I tried. I realize you didn't breed Reddi, but he is a pretty dog. I have his half sister, Lun Lynn Kiss Me Tia, and she's been a CHAMPION producer for me. Sorry to ramble... if you don't mind, please send me pictures of any available show males.

For your consideration, I have nice litters (one is out of my AKC Champion Marina and AKC Ch. Newt)... and I would be willing to trade a puppy if this is something you would be interested in! Thanks, Regina IF YOU NOTICE IN THE ABOVE EMAILS SHE REFERS TO FUTURE BREEDINGS WITH THE DOGS I 'PURCHASED FROM HER, SHE ADMITS ALSO THAT SHE RECIEVED PUPPIES FROM THE FIRST LITTER. Unlike her I do have proof in writing that what I say is true.I will be more than glad to provide anyone who would like to see them with copies proving she is a poor excuse for a liar. Also as I have mentioned before & from the horses mouth itself I did indeed pay for the above named dogs with the 2 pick puppies from Jazzy's first litter. She had no problem with me breeding them so long as she got the first 2 pick puppies from any future litters produced for the remainder of theor lives. If you would like to talk about serious health issues Mrs Kitchens on 2 seperate occasions had litters with Cleft Pallates & missing tails. You wont see those on her web site! Her excuse was her dog's came down with Kennel cough because they had not been annualy vaccinated as one is suposed to do. So she resorted to giving all of her dogs including her pregnant bitches antibiotics which she says caused the afflicted litters of which several died. I might be a newcomer to breeding & showing Shih Tzu but even I know to take your dogs to the vet to get the proper medication & care instead of playing doctor at home & having deformed puppies who suffered as a result. I intend to stop this childish argument because as any idiot can see this is a personal vindetta for Mrs Kitchens. Every email that I recieve where she is running her mouth in efforts to make herself feel important or special will be posted so you can see how deranged this sugar coated individual really is. AKC champions have nothing to do with health issues. Mrs Kitchens also talks a big talk about agreements between breeders but it seems she cant even keep the ones she makes. I have proof of this also. My mother was hospitialized in May of 07. I was asked by my mother to take care of Jazzy as my mother loved her dearly.We have taken very good care of her as if she was one of my children. I do have vet bills for her regular health checks. Mrs Kitchens wasted no time after my mothers death to start harassing me so much so that I could not even bury my mother in peace or grieve. She emailed me the day after my mothers funeral. I also have this pathetic email if anyone would like to see it. I have never taken any shortcuts when it comes to my dogs. Also I am in no wrong with my county & have broken no laws. Ask Mrs Kitchens how many litters she had last lear & to see the breeding records on her bitches who are never given a proper or decent rest between litters. I will gladly show you my AKC records that clearly show my females are treated with humanity & love. Certainally not looked at as a slot machine for ones ego. You better ask her for her CKC records also since she double registeres many of her dogs. All of my Shih Tzu are proffesionally groomed in my home by my mobile groomer every 8 weeks. She is providing me with a statement & a invoice of her services to be posted with this report. Bottom line is Regina cant tolerate any competition from ethical breeders, breeding healthy beautiful puppies in the same area as her. If Mrs Kitchens wants to take the high road as I do she can refund me the 800.00 for the puppy she sold as payment for Jazzy. In addition to vet bills of 321.00 & boarding for the last 2 years which came to 3,550 Which comes to a total of 4,671 to be PAID IN FULL with a cashiers check from the bank only. She WILL be spayed upon delivery so add a additional 160.00 for services rendered I dont provide boarding, feed & vet bills for free! Scincerely Jody

She signed agreements to give me a puppy back from each litter, (which she did that for only the first litter). ALSO she was supposed to return the female, 'Jazzy', to me when her mother could no longer keep her. Jazzy has not been returned to me. As a matter of fact, she took steps to ensure that Jazzy would not have to be returned to me. She told me that I had misspelled her name on the papers, but I knew better. Her name and her mother's name are very similar, so she simply changed one letter and thus put JAZZY in her own name. Lately she made the comment to a friend of mine in NC: 'There is a way around everything.' This sums up her character perfectly. The sad fact of the matter is, I showed her everything I knew, EVERYTHING.... I did my best to help her. Only to be blindsided. She moved so quickly. She created a website and said FULL registration would always be given with each puppy. I kept trying to 'mentor' her, but she pretty much shut the door on me. I am praying that I can get over what happened and let it go. I'll take solice in your words. Maybe she'll some day she will regret it. Take care, Regina > wrote: HI REGINA .

Unlike her I do have proof in writing that what I say is true.I will be more than glad to provide anyone who would like to see them with copies proving she is a poor excuse for a liar. Also as I have mentioned before & from the horses mouth itself I did indeed pay for the above named dogs with the 2 pick puppies from Jazzy's first litter. She had no problem with me breeding them so long as she got the first 2 pick puppies from any future litters produced for the remainder of theor lives. If you would like to talk about serious health issues Mrs Kitchens on 2 seperate occasions had litters with Cleft Pallates & missing tails. You wont see those on her web site! Her excuse was her dog's came down with Kennel cough because they had not been annualy vaccinated as one is suposed to do. So she resorted to giving all of her dogs including her pregnant bitches antibiotics which she says caused the afflicted litters of which several died. I might be a newcomer to breeding & showing Shih Tzu but even I know to take your dogs to the vet to get the proper medication & care instead of playing doctor at home & having deformed puppies who suffered as a result. I intend to stop this childish argument because as any idiot can see this is a personal vindetta for Mrs Kitchens. Every email that I recieve where she is running her mouth in efforts to make herself feel important or special will be posted so you can see how deranged this sugar coated individual really is. AKC champions have nothing to do with health issues. Mrs Kitchens also talks a big talk about agreements between breeders but it seems she cant even keep the ones she makes. I have proof of this also. My mother was hospitialized in May of 07. I was asked by my mother to take care of Jazzy as my mother loved her dearly.We have taken very good care of her as if she was one of my children. I do have vet bills for her regular health checks. Mrs Kitchens wasted no time after my mothers death to start harassing me so much so that I could not even bury my mother in peace or grieve. She emailed me the day after my mothers funeral. I also have this pathetic email if anyone would like to see it. I have never taken any shortcuts when it comes to my dogs. Also I am in no wrong with my county & have broken no laws. Ask Mrs Kitchens how many litters she had last lear & to see the breeding records on her bitches who are never given a proper or decent rest between litters. I will gladly show you my AKC records that clearly show my females are treated with humanity & love. Certainally not looked at as a slot machine for ones ego. You better ask her for her CKC records also since she double registeres many of her dogs. All of my Shih Tzu are proffesionally groomed in my home by my mobile groomer every 8 weeks. She is providing me with a statement & a invoice of her services to be posted with this report. Bottom line is Regina cant tolerate any competition from ethical breeders, breeding healthy beautiful puppies in the same area as her. If Mrs Kitchens wants to take the high road as I do she can refund me the 800.00 for the puppy she sold as payment for Jazzy. In addition to vet bills of 321.00 & boarding for the last 2 years which came to 3,550 Which comes to a total of 4,671 to be PAID IN FULL with a cashiers check from the bank only. She WILL be spayed upon delivery so add a additional 160.00 for services rendered I dont provide boarding, feed & vet bills for free! Scincerely Jody

SEE REPORT BELOW, THIS PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT ALL UP. I HAVE NO NEED TO ADD ANYTHING FURTHER. MRS KITCHENS IS DESPIRATELY TRYING TO COVER HER TRACKS & AS USUAL SHE IS " NEVER IN THE WRONG". I DONT THINK MRS KITCHENS WANTS ME TO CONTACT THE NUMEROUS OTHER BREEDERS WHO HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH HER AS WELL. First of all Regina Kitchens being the generous person she is would not 'out of the goodness of her heart' given me AKC & CKC papers on the Dog's if she did not mean for them to be bred nor if she had not been paid for them in the first place. People don'n just give dogs away as pets with papers. I think if Mrs Kitchens put as much energy in her breeding program as she does in running her mouth & getting in other peoples buisness, she might have something to brag about. She is so proud of her AKC Champions she has to resort to contacting professional breeders I have done buisness with to brag to, lie, & put me down to, while at the same time ask them to sell her one of their dogs. Below you will see a copy of one of these emails in which she has sunk to her lowest level thus far.

Sounds like you are dealing with a dishonest person. Next time you decide to give away some of your dogs, probably a good idea to spay and neuter them before placing them. Also spay and neuter any dog that isn't going to be or shouldn't be bred. If a dog isn't breedable they they have no business being intact. Good luck on the situation.
