Ansley, This is my final comment on here. I was not going to say anything else but you last post on here reall made me mad! You stated "This post was origianlly started because of Samantha bing a Puppy Mill, yes, some comments got out of hand concerning her family and such." A LITTLE OUT OF HAND? Is that what is making yourself sleep at night, you think it got a LITTLE out of hand? Well I tell ya, the police department thinks it is ALOT more then out of hand. They have been here, at my home, and read these posts. The officer was appaled at the comments about my children as he sat here looking at them. I will also tell you my 6 year old son, who you said there is something wrong with him because he is thin, well he read this. I came in here and he was reading that particular post, he then looked at me and asked "mommy what's wrong with me? and why havent you told me there is something wrong with me?" How in the hell do you think that made my baby fee? or me for that matter? Did you care that, you could actually hurt someone when you wrote that lie? NO you did not, I guess you can sit their at your home and write lies after lies and think you are getting away with it because you are doing this under a fake name. You are not getting away with this none of you. The office says I have a good case for, harrassment, stalking and tresspassing. I will move forward with this. The police are investigating and will get your real name and addresses, and I will go sighn the warent for your arest. When we get done with the criminal charges we will go for the civil charges of slander and Libel. You stated " No ethical breeder would breed more than 2 breeds of dogs, sell them to the general public without a spay/nueter clause,promote education on the breed standard". Have you bought anything from me? NO, then how would you know if I give a spay/nuter clause. In fact I do IF the dog/puppy is not qualltiy and of breed standard. I also give a purina puppy pack that comes with 10 pages (give or take), that I have taken my time to type and print out. It gives the new owner information on the breed, gives info on possible health issues known to that breed, and it also includes training tips. You can think I am lying and I will not move forward with this just wait sweetie you will see when the sheriff pulls in your yard with a warent!

Ansley I am not going to tell you personel information about myself....and I sure as hell am not going to prove anything to you. I came on to this website to post my opion, just like you did. I have the right to do so, just like you do. You may not like my opion and I may not like yours but it does not give you the right to call me a liar!! You do not know me!! I came out here and stated as what I know is the truth....whether you look at it the same way that I do is a different story. Up until the last two postings all you (Ansley) have done is make accusations, and slander her family. This to me looks a lot like some one that Samantha has made mad, not someone who is really worried about the wealth fare of animals. Even in your response to me you stated "and please you can look at one of her kids and know that something is wrong there with the weight. the only reason the baby was fat at the time, was think god for baby formula, for she probably gets that from the state, so thankful the baby wasn't thin!" If you have kids (which I am not stating that you do or don't) you would understand that every child is different. So what if one of her kids is fat....that does not make her a bad mother. What does a child being over weight have to do with the weath fare of animals? I am little confused here. Per your rebuttle you stated "Okay, so you got a dog from something that she had rescued? NO YOU DID NOT! The dog you got from her was probably something that she either breed and had herself or something puppy/dog that Samantha "found" and just simply couldn't USE in her breeding... You are lying in stating that she is a rescue, and you know it! Just because you find a dog/puppy one day, keep it, and then give it too some one you know the following day, doesn't mean you RESCUED that dog/puppy." Yes I did get a dog from her and no I do not have to prove that to you. If you don't believe me that is fine, as I don't have to believe you either. You also mentioned that I got a "PUREBREED" dog from her.....I never once stated that it was a purebreed. I simply stated that I got a rescued dog from Samantha. And if you look up the definition of rescue you will see that it is, and I quote from the dictionary "recovery or preservation from loss or danger" and/or "free from harm or evil". That is exactly what she did. She kept both of those dogs from loss or danger by having the kindness in her heart to take them in and keep them from harm or evil. Get your facts straight before you state that she does not rescue dogs. Samantha may have come from Florida, but I certianly did not know that at the time. News to me. Take some time and think about this before you go throwing around more accusations "but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone" John 8:7

Thanks for letting me know who you are. I repect you for being honest. You may not agree with what I do and thats ok. But the truth is not all of the facts have been laid on the table here. I do love my dogs very much, every one of them has their own little personallities and quallities that make them special to me. I am not a bad person. Yes I do have more then one breed, and to some people that is not right. But I am not hurting anyone, or the dogs for that matter, and I have not had anyone complain about a puppy or dog I have sold them. We are cutting back on the breeds, which we have been working on for about 2 months. I love Golden Retrivers, I used to walk my grandmother's neighbors dogs when we went to see her. I do not have any but I love the breed. Very smart dogs. Good luck to you and your dogs.

"P", I totally agree with you comments about breeding responsibilities, care, for bettermeant of the breed, etc. This post was origianlly started because of Samantha bing a Puppy Mill, yes, some comments got out of hand concerning her family and such. Let me say, it was not ME who came to SAmantha's house and Sprayed her dogs and such as she had posted. I wonder if She didn't do it herself, and make a report just to justify her lies on this board, I don't know if it was simply a mistake or what. what i do know is that I would never hurt or mistreat any animal, not any one of them! I am sorry to her if that indeed did happen, no one will ever know if it did or not, due to the number of lies Samantha, her family, and her breeding friends have come on this site and stated or listed. She is a puppy mill, and I am sorry of the truth hurts! She should not be breeding dogs, I have not seen Samantha's dogs or her since she moved away from this area, and I have chosen not too. But it is my right as a concerned citizen and animal lover, that I do have the right to inform the general public of her pratices and conditions. Like I have read and agree with totally, I only hope this Site has helped Samantha get her dogs in good condition and possibly take a look at what she is doing to those dogs. No ethical breeder would breed more than 2 breeds of dogs, sell them to the general public without a spay/nueter clause, promote education on the breed standard, and so on. There are many beliefs I have on puppy mill breeders, what they should or shouldn't be doing and what is or isn't right. I am against alot of things in relation to that, that is my right, just as it Samantha's right to be a puppy mill if she so chooses! It is awful but that is the world today. I only hope again through this site it has educated about her and what she is doing and maybe this would possibly change her in some way regarding the care, beliefs, and education surrounding her breeding dogs. No dogs should be used in this manner at all, sorry but that is the bottom line here!

I realize that you are upset about your dogs but I asked you ONE question and you answered it. I haven't asked or said anything else about you or to you. But since you asked, I'm not a breeder, not right now anyway. I have a 10 year old spayed female Golden Retriever and a 1 year old unneutered male Golden. He will probably be neutered soon because he's 2 inches under the standard and I'm not into breeding "miniature" Goldens although I could probably make a mint doing it. I've bred, raised, and shown Golden Retrievers for 23 years. I've shown several dogs to their championships, put several obedience titles on different dogs and competed in all areas of dog sports. I've been a member of several dog training clubs and am currently a member of the Golden Retriever Club of America. I believe that anyone who breeds more than 2 breeds is not doing it to better the breed. I believe that anyone who will not even do basic clearances on their dogs should not be breeding. I believe that anyone who breeds "designer" breeds or "rare" types/colors of dogs is in it for the money. I don't believe that anyone who "swaps" breeding dogs is thinking of the dogs wellbeing. I can't stand pet stores or the people who sell dogs to them. I think that people that buy from pet stores are seriously uninformed about how the dogs got there and haven't done enough homework. My definition of puppy mill is anyone who breeds large numbers of puppies (one breed or more than one breed) with limited/no health testing, who either don't use limited registrations or they charge more for unlimited registrations, and who use will-register-anything registries. I used to be one of those people who would "jump" on people I didn't agree with. Now, I try to educate instead, it works much better. Sometimes, I do lose my temper but I'm only human and things do get to me, particularly when it involves Golden Retrievers. So that's me... I'm sorry that people are harassing you, and causing harm to the dogs that they are claiming to want to protect. That's completely unacceptable behavior. I may disagree with you and your breeding practices and call you on it but I would never condone hurting the dogs or damaging property, it's counterproductive and stupid.

First thing I have to ask is who are you? Are you a breeder? No I will not share any information about the lady I bought Papillons from. It is not your buisness. She herself is not a breeder. She bought them from a man she knew who needed some financal help. You are free to make your own opinions regarding me. Let me explain to you about the people who are posting these comments about me, Last night these people came to my home. They took my water hose and put it in one of my dogs pens, and turned it on full force. Now mind you my kennels are on a hill, so the water ran down into every kennel soaking the ground, and my dogs. Last night was not a warm night it was in the 30's where I am. So we are talking about my inocent loving animals wet and cold. When I got up this morning they were standing on top of their houses trying to stay out of the water. And these people are supposed to be animal lovers? I did make a police report on this. These people also called my home this morning, from a private name and number, when I answered the phone there was a comercial blairing in my ear. This comerical is on tv all the time, its for a lawyer. Then they hung up on me. These are the people you belive. You go ahead and belive people who are harrasing me, have admited to tresspassing on my preoperty. If you do belive them you are no better then them. I have to say I am done with this, I have nothing more to say. FOR YOU LIARS, STAY OFF MY PROPERTY, AWAY FROM MY DOGS AND DO NOT CALL MY HOME AGAIN, I MEAN IT!!

No I do not care to tell you who sold me that Papillons. That is None of you buisness. She is not a breeder in fact she got the dogs from a breeder. Come see my dogs before you lable me as being anything. This all will be comming to an end soon, the harrasing phone calls, the coming onto my property late at night. Let me ask you this Jonah, if these people are telling the truth, why are they calling me and harrasing me? And why did I have to call the police department last night due to them being on my property? If these people are such "Animal lovers" why in gods creation did they take my water hose turn it on full srength and lay it on a hill where it would run into my dogs pens soaking the ground? On a VERY cold night? Before you pass judgement on me or my family (four legged included), come out and meet them. Then make your opinion. People really get to me when you have never met someone or even had a conversation with them, but they can assume the worst about people.

Katrina you went in and posted about yourself being inspected by yourself, your name is the SAME.. this is funny to me another Puppy Miller trying to wheel and deal their way out of the spotlight of the public knowing what they do. I agree after EVERYTHING I have read, these two people, Samantha and Katrina are Puppy Millers. I too agree that these ladys know one another more than they are claiming, and I thinking something is going on there as well! I also think the comments made by some people on here are indeed related to either one of those lady's,,,,, very defensive. Also, all I can say is that you both should be ashamed for what you do to those dogs. Your names are now on the Puppy Mill forum....Glad I don't have to personally see those dogs or you for that matter, it would break my spirit if I saw that in person. I will pray for those little ones. oh, and the comment on the male Papillon puppy, saw that one too. You got him and his brother from a lady in Iowa, care to say who? A Papillon Breeder in Iowa, if that breeder is licensed, the she would have records of the sale to this Samantha. Wonder if Iowa is a State that inspects Breeders? Could find out that way anyone.

Let me clarify: I bought the Papillon and his brother. I was going to keep them both for my breeding program. I did not buy thme to re-sell, I have never done that. I decided, that the one was all I needed. So we sold the other one.

You say you have only had 2 litters - doxies and mini schnauzers - however, the post directly after yours says the buyer bought a papillion from you 6 months ago. So, where did the pap come from if you only had those 2 litters?

I purchased a male papillon puppy about 6 months ago from Samantha Kidd. The puppy was healthy, very sweet and loveable. He is truly wonderful and we are very happy that he is part of our family. Samantha was very courteous, honest and helpful during the process of purchasing the puppy. I can't even imagine that any of these negative remarks about her could be true. Some people obviously have nothing better to do than trash the reputation of others, and that is really pathetic.

Call or emial me at [email protected] will give you the phone number to my childrens doctor and the number to my vet. You need to get a fricken life and stop talking about my children, finances and my dogs. I have a child who is slim by nature, call his doctor (who he sees for regular check ups and the like), my girls are chunky by nature. You have NO idea how much money I have or make for that matter. I have had 2 litters of puppies born in the past 2 years. One was a Miniature Dachshund litter (all sold and the people love their healthy puppies) and a Miniature Schnauzer litter (He is only 4 weeks old). So if I am so much out for the money why have I only had two litters? You dont know as much as you think now do you. As far as your comments to Ashley, she dose not have to provide you with any proof. You have yet to prove anything to me or anyone else about anything you have said, cant back up anything can you. I moved from Georgia by the way. You think you know everything but you know nothing. Keep talking you are sounding more and more inbred by the minute.

Ansley im more than happy to let you come to my home and see my dogs.and no i do not have more than 70 dogs ..no where near it.i have a worker because i want to make sure the kennels are clean and all the dogs are kept well any breeder needs help with them as this is 24/7.. dogs have to be taken care of.i stopped buying puppies a long time ago. to broker dogs you have to go to pet shops and i do not care to do that..but i do sell some for friends that know and trust me.there is an ad ive been trying to get out of a free trader here that keeps running old ads.i do buy older dogs to breed from time to time..because i retire a female after 5 yrs and find them a home.one woman recently tried to sell me a 5 yr old yorkie as a breeder i told her no thanks...i did have 2 westies that had given me pups this one time but i gave them to a friend in the country. I have 3 pups left to sell and then i will not do them again and i have also given away 3 rat terriers and some beagles.i dont understand what you are talking about dachshunds because i do have mini dachshunds.i got them after a woman said her husband was going to shoot them for killing his chickens several months ago..i go over every breed with people who buy them..teacups (sugar drops) are not for everyone..as terrier breeds are not for everyone.. and children do not need to be around certain dogs who do not care to be around children.as for a spay and nuter clause..i believe after a person buys a dog it it up to them if they want that done..that would be like someone having a child and saying that child couldnt have grandkids..many vets say that a female dog should have at least one litter of pups..but thats between you and your vet to decide.But as i stated before you may come to my house if you wish. as a christian my bible states "those without sin cast the first stone " ..please be careful before throwing rocks..this life is short the next one is the one everyone needs to worry about.thanks for hearing me out.

I was contacted by Katrina who was upset about someone trying to slander her name.she stated she read something online about someone she knew and responded to it. Every person is entitled to their own opinions about a breeder.If you feel they do not take care of their dogs do not buy from them. If we have absolute evidence of neglect or abuse we can shut them down or give them ample time to rectify the problems. We have inspected Katrina's kennel and it was well kept.There were no excessive numbers of dogs per pen.all had ample room to move. Fresh food and water was in each pen.The dogs looked very healthy.shot records were produced. I do not know of Samantha as she is out of our area but if she had been in the area she would have been inspected also. Many breeders are inspected on regular basis as to keep down bad breeders in what is called puppy mills. i hope this clears up any misinformation.

Katrina: I had to post a reply to your comment. You yourself are a puppy miller too. You have like 70 dogs or so, the last I heard, and you breed several different breeds of dogs. More than that, you aren't able to take care of them are you? I heard that the reason you have a worker is because you physically cannot take care of them and neither can your mom. You advertise in the papers that you will BUY puppies from anyone! You are a BROKER too! Yes, you have had negative reports, and I am sorry you have not been to Samantha's home personally, maybe you should and see for yourself, or maybe you are in the same posistion as she is in! You made the comment that you needed her help to shave your dogs, again, you can't take care of your own dogs either! You do it for the money right? Are you breeding one or two breeds of dogs, know their lineage, showing them? Do you sell your pets on a spay and nueter clause? Do you teach people about the breed? NO, you do not....You do not even know what puppies you have... I called you the other day, yes, I did, remember when you said you had some Westie puppies, Chihuahua puppies, several mixed puppies from different litters for sale, and you had some poodles coming up along with about 5 other breeds! tried to sell me a puppy. You even stated that if i gave you my number, that you would call me when you could see me in person. You even asked me if i knew of anyone that wanted any dachshunds, older, because you didn't have them , but a friend of yours did, and she just wanted to give them away. I asked you if you breed them or wanted them and you said you didn't because you had almost 70 dogs the last time you COUNTED them and that was over 2 months ago! It was/is hard for you to get out to your kennel with your health or mom's health or someone was unhealthy, not sure, you were telling me sooo much! Anyway, this is a small town Katrina, and you haev offerred you defense for a person that you do not even really know, you claim you have not been to her house, seem her dogs or anything, yet you want to defend her. Wonder why, because you are a Puppy Miller too and you and her are connected in that respect and maybe you trade dogs or puppies, maybe you sell one another dogs/puppies, someway she helps you and you help her. I'll ask more questions around here and find out. I do not like being called a LIAR, i am not, i came here to warn people about this lady, her practices and the conditions she keeps her animals in, that was it, to let them be self warned before contributing too her financial gain!

Ashley; I read your post, and first of all.....who are YOU? You seem to know Samantha....are you are breeder? A friend? Or maybe even a family member? You live in Florida, which by the way people is EXACTLY where SAMANTH KIDD and her family moved FROM....Information is out there just search to find it! "Ashley" you have jumped on the band wagon of Samantha Kidd, and I am certain you know her really well, meaning either a close friend or a family member. So you would essentially say anything to give her credit. Of course being as close to Samantha as you are, you would tell the TRUTH about her and her dogs. Samantha does NOT rescue dogs or any animals. I have talked to this lady, several times, seen her, been to her house, yes, I have spoken to her in the presence of not telling her who I was that she had already spoke too me. This is a very small town we live in, and when people find out of a "PUPPY MILL", trust me, investgation begins! We are animal lovers here truly, not animal money makers or puppy mill promoters. I know Elie who posted on here as well about Samantha, yes, we have talked extensively about this "Puppy Miller", though let me tell you we are not the only ones in this area....alot of people have formed their own beliefs her about her. All anyone had to do was drive out to her place and see first hand. this is YOUR statement Ashley--- I got a dog from Samantha that she rescued off of the street. When this dog came into her life, he and his brother were both skin and bones, filled with worms and ticks and on the brink of death. They were unhealthy and Samantha took them in. She nurtured them back to health and took them to the vet for their shots. When I got him I was so impressed to see that he and his brother both were happy, healthy puppies. When I took my puppie to my vet, he stated that he would recomed for anyone to get a dog from her since he was in such good condition. Okay, so you got a dog from something that she had rescued? NO YOU DID NOT! The dog you got from her was probably something that she either breed and had herself or something puppy/dog that Samantha "found" and just simply couldn't USE in her breeding... You are lying in stating that she is a rescue, and you know it! Just because you find a dog/puppy one day, keep it, and then give it too some one you know the following day, doesn't mean you RESCUED that dog/puppy. With you being in Florida, how did YOU get the puppy? Did Samantha bring it too you when she came to visit you? I think probably NOT, I don't think she could AFFORD to travel that distance. Did you come all the way up here to Piedmont Alabama to get a "RESCUE" Dog? I don't think so either, becuase you could hvae found a rescue dog in your own town/city, and helped them out. I am certain the dog you got is NOT a purebreed dog/puppy either. Would youmind if I talk too your vet, or please provide us with vet records so that we can see the "PUREBREED" puppy you got from Samantha Kidd! Maybe someone you knew brought the dog too you from Piedmont? Hum, that would mean you know Samantha alot closer than you are admitting......so what is the connection with you and her really? Please unless you are going to speak the truth about this "breeder", don't post here! Here is another comment you made: "I have been out to Samantha's house several times and I do not understand where you come off saying that "She had several dogs at her run down home". Everytime that I have been out there (and yes on suprise visits since I lived in her surrounding area) the cages were clean the animals were fed and healthy and her property was in good order. She had 6 acres for the horses to run and get they excersie and graze. I have witnessed may times the animals being fed and the pens being cleaned." When did you live in HER area? You didn't, you are in Bartow Florida, exactly the area where she came from! You've never lived up here, and please if I am wrong, then provide me with a receipt from a utility bill or home ownership from this area in YOUR name.....She may have had 6 acres for her horses, but they were NOT healthy....they were starving....she ran an ad several times for them, and couldn't get anyone to buy them at the low price, then finally she had to particually give them away to get the man to take them.... those two horses were starving, literally, suken hips, eyes, bloated bellies, from starvation! Even on phone conversations she attempted to tell everyone that the horses feet were messed up, this causing problems with them not gaining weight, a LIE, and then again, she would say that the horses pasture was messed up, by the previous owners, so the pasture had something wrong with it, and her horses were not gaining weight becuase of that, okay so it was the pasture's fault, their feet's fault, the horses fault, yeah, everything's fault but hers for starving them! I am checking too see if i can get some eveidence from where she had the horses before to clarify and prove that I am not lying....I even had someone tell me that one horse DIED out there from Starvation, and Pnuemonia! She also had a coupel of other horses. To prove again, that I am telling the truth, I hate too do this people, but I will take the time, and put out bulletins everywhere on the interent and surrrounding states, and see if I can locate anyone that sold her the horses she had, the ones she sold/traded, and the ones that died from starvation...they would have to be surrounding states like Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Missippi, etc., for she couldn't afford to get them any other way, she didn't even have a horse trailor, so they would have had to transport them for her...yes, i know details, for people here in this town talk, and with this board now, it has really perked up! And to answer your questions, no I am not stalking her, this is a small town, everyone knows everything and yes people talk, that is anywhere. No, I have not "walked" in her shoes. I never would. I would never put my personal monetary gain, above the helath and welfare of me or my family! I would never spend my hard earned money to overpopulate my yard with dogs to breed, instead of having a nice home, clean home, clean environment and clean nice palce for my family. Run down vehicles in the yard, junk everywhere, can't afford gas, even her phone was cut off one time, and please you can look at one of her kids and know that something is wrong there with the weight. the only reason the baby was fat at the time, was think god for baby formula, for she probably gets that from the state, so thankful the baby wasn't thin! I hate to be rude, she needs to rethink her objective in life. SHE couldn't afford the animals she had! That was evident! Skin and bones, it was nasty dirty! I am sorry Ashley for involving you, but you are a liar and you know it. I am sure Samantha Kidd is trying to pull out anyone she can to defend her on this site, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me if you all were indeed family!

So sad that people love to talk and slander other people..people may come to my place anytime they want and see how i raise my dogs..i have a girl hired to clean my kennels every day..yes people turn others into animal control all of the time with false information.one time i was turned in after i told the woman(who had been helping with my kennel) i was going to turn her in to the police for stealing some puppies from me 4 boxer pups with a value of $1200.to keep me from contacting the police that day she turned me into animal control.who came to my place and said i was a very good breeder. plenty of food and water and cages cleaned. i have had dog pens built with concrete floors and the pups and pregnant moms are placed in kennels i bought from bass equipment that the bottoms are tripled dipped so that the pads on the pups feet will not be hurt and the feces an urine go to a tray so they do not have to walk in it.im a baby breeder with just a few dogs but i do know of a lady that lives off piedmont highway that has excessive amounts of dogs (hundreds)and does not keep them well and the pups die soon after being bought.she has moved her dogs so no one can find them im told..i hope that this is the woman everyone is refering to and not samantha..ive never been to samanthas home i must admit ..but seems to know what she is talking abouut the times ive talked with her... she has come to my home.in fact she came and helped me shave down some dogs before summer. which was a blessing to me..because i do not let my dogs have to wear a fur coat in summer like i wouldnt want to wear a coat in the summer..then i placed frontline on my dogs after i shave wash and bathe..yes she has rescued dogs a lady i know got one she rescued.. i myself have taken dogs and placed them in homes...these i didnt sell but was given them to be placed...which im no longer able to do as these dogs bring in things to your kennel that you dont want to happen(parvo,parisites,mange,coccidia) do i take to our animal shelter? no..if you read the ad in the newspaper(couple yrs ago) that said out of 0ver 5000 dogs taken in all but around 700 were put down..ive never failed to place a dog in a loving home.if you want to investigate something find out why they put down so many at the shelter. if this has changed please let me know ...under one picture it said some beautiful lab puppies were put down because they had worms..you can treat worms why put them down? alot of people stopped giving to the shelter after that ad was placed and it was a full page ad.now thats a shame and a disgrace i use to give money and dog food to the shelter and for what? so they can kill them? a friend had a litter of pups she was giving away and in 2 days we had homes for all 10 in good homes.. as you know not everyone needs a dog. so i talk with each person before it is placed.ask samantha if you can go to see her dogs..speak with the vet she uses..then talk with her directly and not behind her back.shes always been easy for me to comunicate with.

I am shocked that someone could slander Samantha in this was. It makes me sick to know that anyone who gets mad can make up lies and do what ever they can to hurt someone. Are you ALL that unsatisfied with your own life that you have to worry about making up lies and trying to run someone elses? Samantha may not be a registered Foster Home for animals, but that does not mean that she does not rescue animals. I got a dog from Samantha that she rescued off of the street. When this dog came into her life, he and his brother were both skin and bones, filled with worms and ticks and on the brink of death. They were unhealthy and Samantha took them in. She nurtured them back to health and took them to the vet for their shots. When I got him I was so impressed to see that he and his brother both were happy, healthy puppies. When I took my puppie to my vet, he stated that he would recomed for anyone to get a dog from her since he was in such good condition. I have been out to Samantha's house several times and I do not understand where you come off saying that "She had several dogs at her run down home". Everytime that I have been out there (and yes on suprise visits since I lived in her surrounding area) the cages were clean the animals were fed and healthy and her property was in good order. She had 6 acres for the horses to run and get they excersie and graze. I have witnessed may times the animals being fed and the pens being cleaned. Where do you get off saying "It was apparent by the home and surrounding place that she couldn't afford or barely could afford to take care of herself and her family". Do you run Samantha's finances, NO YOU DON'T. So how can you say that she can't afford it. One thing I can say about that is until you walk a mile in someone's shoes you can not pass judgement on them. You stated "She lives in my state, city, Piedmont, Alabama, or she did a few months ago, I went by there and she has since moved! Anyone know where she is now?" What are you a stalker, riding by her house over and over again. Why do you want to know where she is living now? Are you still wanting to stalk her and her family, maybee it is just that you are a petifile wanting to kidnap her kids. You are sick. You need to get a life and deal with you own problems instead of trying to run hers.

"Katrina"....I do not know you nor wish too know you. But you a breeder in the same state as this Samantha Kidd, clearly her breeding "friend", etc. You lay claim that this Kidd lady rescues dogs? How come when You check with the local Humane Society in your area, they do not have her listed as a "foster home" or a helper to take in unwanted dogs? I cantell you that, because she does NOT rescue dogs. I do rescue dogs, am a Foster home for them, my local ASPCA calls me when they are overcrowded and gives me the detailed information of the puppies, cats, kittens, dogs, etc., and inquires if i can house them temporarily until homes could be found. Anyone who foster's animals, works closely with their local shelters, humane society's, etc., and offers their name to anyone in doing so. These offices keep check and records of such helpers, trust me I know, I have been a foster homer for 9 years now and absolutely LOVE it. Katrina, it is awful, even you said that you have been reported by your local Humane Society, but the reports were false, yeah right! I wonder with some searching on your name, dogs, etc. what people could infact find out about you over the internet and your dogs. I bet you breed just as many dogs as this Samantha Kidd, or even more, and do not take care of them either. Wonder what we can find out about you, I bet it wouldn't be likeable! Would you give your name, you know, this could be free advertisment for you, tell people where you are, what you breed, let them COME to your place and see for themselves! Anyone out there know this Katrina in Piedmont Alabama? She has negative reports on her, she claims false reports, but reports none the less, so with some calling those reports can be seen under open records act in the state, you can find out where this person Katrina is and go take a look for yourself people! STOP PUPPY MILLS.........

I personally know samantha and she tries to take care of the dogs the best of her abilities..ive never heard any complaints and she is always kind and courteous..i know for a fact she rescues dogs fattens them up ,then they are ready to go to new homes..she only has a few dogs she breeds herself and takes care of them well..we do have Animal Control that comes out and inspects kennels .. i also breed dogs and they have been to my place 2 times on bad reports(all false information) and gave me a clean bill .. i know several other people that have had animal control come to the kennels on false information.. in the breeding business there are many people who either dont understand the business or are a kennel themselfs and try to slander anothers good name for selfish reasons ..you try to take the best care of a dog you can with feedings, waterings, clean the cages,make regular vet visits and have shots and meds given.. samantha happens to use the vet i do... She is known to rescue dogs ..ive been told this by 2 different people..so if this lady saw some unhealthy dogs ..samantha must have been trying to correct their problems..people must get facts before reporting anyone..slander is a action that one can be sued on.. thanks alot for letting me help defend samantha's good name

"P", thanks for your comment on the No laws in Alabama, and what I was referring to was that breeders are NOT regulated in Alabama at all by State Department of Agriculture! It is a breeders choice whether to get USDA licensed or not, and believe me many breeders DO NOT get USDA Licensed because tehy cannot pass the inspection. But thanks, I will contact the USDA and report her as a breeder and ask them to inspect her! She has sold puppy out of state, so she is suppossed to be LICENSED with them I am certain of it. So again, thanks for telling more information about the USDA, I will proceed that way. And, yes, the dogs were in terrible condition. I did contact local agency at city hall and inform them of the situtaion, but they are not breeder regulators, and if the dogs were not running loose, etc., they had no reason to go to her house and pick the dogs up! Trust me we checked.....We were told by the police that they do not mandate animal contol policies there, and that a report was not the right thing to do. We were simply told, "if you don't like her, don't go there.....", so we didn't go back, we are telling everyone we can about her and the condition of the dogs, it is unreal. Unless you have seen it personally, you will never understand the debt of the problem....no she has moved, still trying to find her......again, thanks for the USDA thing....great idea for us to follow.....

I am appaled that you would come on here and post a FALSE report about me and my dogs. You have NEVER bought a dog from me so how do you know if "You will get a sick, unhealthy dog or puppy from her with tons of genetic problems if you deal with this person!" I do not know you. And when did you come to my house? I moved from there 4 months ago so if it was that bad why didnt you do this before? As for as the horses I have vet records to prove that my vet was the one who told me that they had problems with their feet. I was feeding them. If my home was so run down why did I sell it for $65,000?? We put about $10,000 into it when we bought it to make it nice. SKINNY DOGS? UNHEALTHY DOGS? Call my vet on this one. All of my dogs are healthy, have been vet checked and shots updated in the past 5 months. "They were in tiny cages, cramped all up, awful smelling and appearance!" UM NO they all have their concrete runs which I rinse twice a day. Ok the kennel I will admit was not in the best of shape, but it was clean, they could not get hurt and they could not get out, they were safe. "Skinny dogs, dogs loosing hair, unhealthy all the way around" If you are refering to the Mastiff I had, she had demodetic mange and was being treated by my vet. For everyone who dose not know demodectic mange is hereditary, and is not contages. I had just bought her. I was told it was an alergic reaction, but found out different when I took her to the vet. Again call my vet and he will tell you I took her in the day after I bought her and I poored alot of money into her to make this condition better. I have scince then had her spayed and adopted her out to a loving home. I will not breed dogs with hereditary problems. "It was apparent by the home and surrounding place that she couldn't afford or barely could afford to take care of herself and her family, and didn't need to be breeding dogs" why do you say I do not take care of my family. Did you go in my house and look in the cabnets? NO you did not. We stay stocked on food, my kids are bathed every day they have clean cloths to wear. This is just a low blow. If you had a problem with the way I care for my family why didnt you call the department of children and familys and file a report? "There was a black and white dog in a crate, no where to run or play or anything, stepping all in it's feces and urine, awful!" Yes he was in a small crate, he was the only one in a small crate. He was a climer and instead of letting him get out and hit by a car or getting into a dog fight I put him in the crate to keep him Safe. He was let out durring the day every day to run and play. His crate was cleaned twice a day as well. No human being can stand around their dogs 24-7 and clean their pin every time the use the restroom. "There were other dogs in pens, with trash cans for houses, and even a couple who had dog houses in their pens, but the houses did not even have sides and shelter to them!" yes they all have dog houses. I am not to sure what you are refering to here????? "Bowls in the pens where she fed them, just awful." Yeah where are the bowls supposed to be? I leave them in the pins for them to eat. "Other people even spoke to her on the phone that I know, she would advertise ads in the local paper to sell/breed/trade dogs." I have never advertised to sell/breed/trade dogs. I have had some for sale. Lets go back to the 4 puppies I sold over a year ago and talk to the happy moms and dads of those puppies. I talk to them often. Who has spoken with me? "This is just an ugly person, and clearly doesn't know what she is doing, or maybe she does, maybe she knows she is breeding any dogs for money and selling them to the public." I invite you to my home, you come take a look at how fat, healthy, and clean my dogs are then you can put up a new report about how you were wrong. "If everyone actually saw her home and place and the dogs in person, trust me they would not buy anything from her, unless they too were the same disgrace this person is. I hate too say it, but here in Alabama, people don't always think to check people out who are breeding dogs. they just see an ad, and meet the person somewhere and buy the puppy, instead of going to their home! I plea with people anywhere, before buying a puppy from anyone, check them out physically, go to their home, see the homes, see the family, see the dogs, make an unexpected trip and you will be surprised at what you find, expecially at this breeders home, believe me I have seen it!" I invite anyone who would like to meet the moms and dads of my puppies to come to my home. I met one person to sell her a dog and that was because she requested me to meet her because she was so far away. I encourage that you come to my home when buying a puppy. "From the looks of it, she needs to put her money on her family and herself, she needs it," You are just rude. "and do justice to those dogs and animals of hers and give them to someone that can provide the kindof home the animals deserve! I have spoken with others here who have talked to this breeder, and she is a puppy mill, i would like to see this breeder stopped in her tracks with selling puppies and dogs in that condition. She will lie to you to get the sell, she will meet you somewhere, and she will take your money and smile all the while, and go back to her home where dogs are not taking care of! If you do this with her, you are promoting a puppy mill!" I have had one litter of puppies born that was over a year ago. You need to research before you call someone a puppy mill! Again please call my vet if you think my animals are not cared for! "I am researching here, to find out other things about this person, and when i do, i will come back and post too let everyone know about this awful person and nasty breeding place. She breeds anything, doesn't know the lines she is breeding, doesn't try to better the breed, she breeds ANYTHING to make a sell! You will get a sick, unhealthy dog or puppy from her with tons of genetic problems if you deal with this person!" Keep researching you will not find anything. Like I said I have sold one litter of puppies and I talk to everyone of the buyers and they are happy with their puppies. The puppies are healthy and were sold healthy. You want to find me? I am in Anniston now. I have not run away or anything of that mannor.

Sorry but I find this comment a bit silly: "Unfortunately we live in a state where no laws are on the books against breeders who do not take care of their dogs" There are laws - Alabama has several cruelty to animals laws on the books. "13A-11-14. Cruelty to animals (a) A person commits the crime of cruelty to animals if, except as otherwise authorized by law, he intentionally or recklessly: (1) Subjects any animal to cruel mistreatment; or (2) Subjects any animal in his custody to cruel neglect;..." So my question is...if the conditions were as bad as you say they were, did you report this person to the Humane Society, the USDA, or any other government agency? If the animals were suffering, posting a report here isn't going to help them in the least.
