Complaint Review: Mittelwest German Shepherds - Wonder Lake Illinois

I am the person who recently posted an ad here about Julie and her MITTELWEST Shepherds. I was not honest and I was trying to get back at her for personal reasons. Why I did it here, I am not sure all I know, is I was wrong and all I said was blown way out of line and not truthful. I am sorry for the pain and hurt I caused Julie and anyone at her club and I can assure you this will never happen again. When I first signed up here in Jan. Last year, yes I had gotten a pup from Julie and it was a great dog and yes his tail was bent but only when he got excited, I posted the ad here because I wanted some advice from other German
Shepherd breeders but I should have just went to her first. Because once she found out, she replaced the pup right away and we found the pup with the curved tail a new loving home. My words back there were blown out of proportion only because I did not know any better and I was disappointed that this pup I came to love that I was planning on showing at the time had this curve in his tail.

Instead of going right to her which I should have, I came on here and posted my ad and got all kinds of advice both good and bad and I took the bad advice and what others said and I made a bigger deal of it back then that wasn't necessary because all I had to do was go to the breeder in the first place (Julie). She made it right back then and I had no need to further any more posts. The pup she replaced it with was a great pup, very smart, beautiful and won 3rd place at a show. But at the time I was recovering from my 3rd surgery and living with my Grandmother who is 84 and the pup had a lot of drive and was to much for her, so again I went back and Julie took and placed her and told me when I was ready, she would give me another pup. Let me make this clear, I paid only a deposit for the pup because I was not financially in a good position because of my surgeries
and I was off work. Julie trusted me and out of the kindness of her heart gave me these pups in good faith and for me to make payments. Instead I painted her house as an even trade after making the initial payment and one other as an even trade. Then recently I had another surgery and I have been recovering again.

Well some stuff happened during the last year and Julie helped me out alot emotionally and financially, we became friends and again I owe her, not for the new pup this time but for money she loaned me until I got back on my feet. But recently I emailed Julie and asked for the pup that she promised me and she said she didn't have any available that were solely hers at the time and before she was going to give me a pup, she wanted me to make good or an effort to pay back what she wanted. Instead I posted the recent post about Julie and Mittelwest that was made of lies and BS. I was wrong and I made a mistake. My credibility
here is no good, so please dont listen to me accept for what I have said here because here I am being honest and I have cooled off and thought about my actions. Julie has made a great name for herself and Mittelwest and it shows all over this country and the world, I am just one person that didn't think before I did what I did and I do not want to hurt her, her family or her business in any way shape or form. Julie has not asked me to say anything, I am not even sure she knows about these posts, but I needed to clear my own mind and make things right however I can. Again for all the users here, I am sorry for involving you
in this web of lies and hurt I tried to cause and for the internet world I am sorry for ever making this bad stuff up about Julie and her club. They are a bunch of great people that work hard and it shows when you go to their property, and it shows in the rings and all the great achievements they have accomplished over the years. It shows at their training facilities and if you go to see her kennels and pups, the place is like no other. i lied about the abuse and the cleanliness of her property and kennels. If you have been there you know the truth of how clean it is and how much they love their dogs and treat them like family and if you haven't been there or seen her operation or pups, maybe give it a shot because she is one of a kind and a great person to deal with and she is always fair and honest. Yes you can dig and you might find others such as myself that have made up lies to hurt her for one reason or another, but in reality I have nothing bad to say about her or her kennel and I made a grave mistake by lying and doing this to a person like Julie and her family. I hope if this is ever read by them she will forgive me. It is and was my fault and I am sorry for doing any of this. If anyone has anything they would like to say to me or ask me, please email back, otherwise let this go and forgive me for my part in hurting an undeserved person that works her but off to make this breed one of the best.

I am the original person who posted this complaint. I did so without ever talking to Julie Martinez the owner of Mittelwest. I told lies and made unfounded remarks here without first going to the source. I said things that were out right lies and I am sorry for ever posting this ad. I did it because of personal conflicts that have all been worked out and I am very satisfied witht he outcome. Please forgive the previous posts I have made and it wont happen again.
