Almost every day I find a new slanderous blog posted about me online by Dee Gerrish of Goldendoodle World primarily on: http://dianegerrish2.blogspot.com/

 I have warned her numerous times that if she doesn't stop blogging about me and remove the previous blogs, I was going to continue to report her here. Because Dee Gerrish is operating a 'business' and Ripoffreport.com is a site to complain about businesses, this is why I choose to report her here. She calls herself a "hobby breeder" and perhaps she believes this doesn't put her in the 'business' category but she sells puppies on the Internet and if she is making money from these sales which she does, she is a 'business'.
Dee Gerrish believes that she is a victim of cyber bullying and Internet harassment and the blogs she posts about me is her way of "defending" herself but what she doesn't seem to realize is, she is engaging in harassment and bullying. If she had not posted anything slanderous and derogatory about me online then yes, she would be a victim.
She is so obsessed with blogging about me that I am finding more and more of her nasty blogs, not less. She even tells her dog groupies to be on the lookout for anything posted about her which seems to me that she is paranoid. I suppose the reason Dee Gerrish blogs so often about me is because she is obsessed with me (not sure why) but certainly this woman would have better things to do than blog about someone she hardly knows even though I'm her sister.
It's one thing to post one or two things about someone who you believe has 'wronged' you but to post a daily blog for years about that same person as my sister has done to me is just obsessive. It's the same thing over and over. She doesn't know that much about me and what she doesn't know, she fills in the blanks with speculation.
We haven't seen each other in well over twenty five years and the last time we spoke on the phone, she had the audacity to record the conversations and put them on the Internet. She didn't warn me that I was being recorded and what she did is illegal.
We have other siblings and I think it's time Dee Gerrish start harassing one of them or find someone else to blog about like her competitors. I am not a dog breeder or any kind of breeder for that matter so I am not her competition.
My sister is ticked off because I have Power of Attorney for our mom and my sister wants it. Our mother is in a facility because she has advanced Alzheimer's disease. She cannot and should not be removed. My mother cannot function on her own and she is doing very well where she is. Dee Gerrish believes that if she could get POA over our mom's finances that she would have extra income that would come from our mom's social security and her retirement pension. The facility where our mom is receives all that. My sister believes that I am raking in our mom's pensions and living high off the hog so to speak but she is sadly mistaken. Our mom's money goes directly to the facility and not to me. I set it up that way and that's the way it will stay. No one and nothing is going to change it.
My sister seems to be ticked off about a lot of things but that's her problem and not mine. What angers me is that she has not only attacked me but she has attacked my kids and even my dogs. Dee Gerrish seems to be obsessed with where my dogs are and what they are doing. I don't see that it's any of her business where my dogs are. I don't see that anything about me is any of her business but she likes to make it her business.
I suppose my sister has a right to be upset that other dog breeders don't like her and she has been banned from some dog forums and other blogging forums and some people have posted negative comments about her but that's the chance you take when you put yourself 'out there' on the Internet. That's the chance anyone takes when they have a business. You can't please everyone and you can't force everyone to like you. All you can do is take it in stride and try to be better and not bitter.
My sister has accused me of making up false names and posting things about her. This is not true. I don't need to make up a fake name. I want her to know that it is me complaining about her. She even went as far as posting slanderous comments about herself using a fake name which I thought was really bizarre. If it were me, I would make up fake names and post positive things about myself.
Dee Gerrish is also upset that I referred to her as being a "back yard breeder". Well, if your dogs live outside in pens, what else would she be referred to as? I'm sure she doesn't keep all of her dogs inside her mobile home and she refuses to post photos of a kennel on her website so what is she suppose to be referred to as? Oh yes, that's right. She is a "hobby" breeder. In my opinion, if she is allowing more puppies to be born into this world and doing it as a "hobby", this is unethical and goes against everything that reputable breeders stand for. I have never heard of a "hobby breeder".
I have asked my sister numerous times to post photos of her dog kennels. She refuses. I have looked at hundreds of dog breeder sites and most of them post photos of the kennels, the inside and outside of their homes and there are photos of their property along with lots of photos of the dogs. These dog breeders seem proud to show everyone where the puppies were born and what the dam and sire look like and most of these breeders will even send extra photos if asked. My sister doesn't.
On my sister's website she has photos of puppies and photos of people but these photos were not taken on her property. There isn't one photo of her mobile home, no photos of where her dogs are kept, no photos of her property. Just photos that people have sent to her. Even a "hobby" breeder should have dog kennels I would think.
When my sister refused to post photos of dog kennels, her property and her home, it made me suspicious. She wanted our mother to visit her and stay in her mobile home but because my sister refused to post photos of anything, I certainly didn't want my mom to stay somewhere that might be contaminated or dirty or not safe for her.
By not posting the photos I requested, I had to assume that my sister was a back yard breeder. She must keep her dogs in the back yard. Are they in a pen? Are they in a kennel run? Are they running loose everywhere? I didn't want my mother to be jumped on by my sister's dogs.
By my sister being outraged that I referred to her as a "back yard breeder", one would think that she would put the accusation to rest by posting photos of where exactly her dogs are kept. Why doesn't she prove me wrong? I'm wondering if anyone else wonders this too? She seems to be selling puppies so hasn't anyone ever wondered where the puppies were born, where did they spend their first eight weeks of life and where is the dam and sire? Where are the rest of the dogs? Is there an exercise yard for her dogs? No one knows.
My point is, my sister is inflamed because I have called her on the carpet and she refuses to prove me wrong. The red flag remains up and flying. What made things worse for Dee Gerrish is that our younger sister was actually on Dee's property about two years ago to help her clean up her yard. Our younger sister came to visit me about a year after that and told me a lot of disturbing things about Dee's 'business' and where her dogs are 'housed'. Of course, this is a 'she said-she said' kind of thing but my youngest sister is not known to be a liar. After she described everything in detail, it made me sick. Because I wasn't there and I have never been to Dee's property, that's when I asked Dee to post photos and that's when she refused.
By refusing, this told me she was hiding something and maybe my youngest sister's story was true after all. Dee denies it online but to this day, there are still no photos of where her dogs are kept, no photos of her mobile home, no photos of her property.
So, to me, Dee Gerrish will remain a "back yard breeder" until she proves me wrong.
Dee Gerrish remains a cyber bully and an Internet harasser because she continues to post slanderous blogs about me. If she doesn't like the publicity she is getting by me complaining about her here, she can remove the blogs and do her part in dousing the "flames" in this war.
