TO KARLA>>>>>>> I am Ashley and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah 84107...... I am not sure who you are talking about.... my conversation with Samantha has nothing to do with you whatsoever. I know what I was told by this lady, etc...... I made the comment on here about her being a puppy mill, yes I did, she is one! I have no dealings with her at all. Her life is hers.... sorry if the truth hurt her, but it is what it is. This is petty indeed with people posting and commenting on people they have never spoken to at all. I have only spoken to Samantha and not anyone else, and since that time, I do not know anything more than what I was originally told by her in our conversation....... the end!

So you own 4 dogs aye? Interesting cus when you made a false report on me http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff215791.htm You claimed you owned NO dogs period! Keep digging that hole.. People will start to see that you and your "friends" are trying to hurt good, decent people.. My question is why?! I will not post anymore, the rest I have left up to the police and my district attorneys office who is looking into this matter now. You are telling lies, keep your stories straight at least!

this is too all reading this post......i do not care if Samantha Kidd has only had 2 litters of puppies in the last year, that does not say she is NOT a Puppy Mill, get educated people here if you are going to post on this matter or topic! Only samantha knows in fact how many dogs she has, how many puppies she has had in the past and now or whenever. Only she knows this information. Whether she chooses to be honest about it or not is HER choice. Though I wouldn't say afterall of this that she would admitt too being a puppymill! But my point remains the same, she breeds several different breeds of dogs, she did have some at the time we came that was unhealthy and had some physical problems that we could see with our eyes, such as the skin issue, etc., and those horses were STARVING.... now, you can say or do whatever you want to, it doesn't bother me, we know what we know and what we saw, and we are not the ones telling lies on this Board, that is for Samantha and her followers of breeder/puppy miller buddies and family members to do. We have no reason too lie. Enough said.....hopefully things have changed or will change........would like too know and see that they would. Puppy Millers are NOT welcome here at all!!!

OK comments not adding up? Stories different? If Samantha were running a puppy Mill wouldn't she have had more than 2 litters of puppies in 2 yrs.??? Goodness people wake up! This "SLANDER" is nothing other than someone being mad or jealous or just some childish prank! OK so your upset with her! Why are you jumping on the subject of her home and childern?? So so childish here. Let me tell you I know these people personally and have been to their home several times and spent the day with them. May I ask whomever made the comment about the nasty and filth, just where did she hide it when I was there?? Their home was very cozy, clean and with 3 childern, yes you have toys around in the floor. She didn't hide anything, as they was nothing to hid . And as for as those 2 horses starving,, that's a lie also. I saw them each time I was there. What in the world is wrong with the person or persons that started this horrible story??? Then other weak minded people falling in line to keep this going. This site seems to be like a cheap chat room where u can say anything, and I've noticed that most of the post are in the early morning hours. Whomever started this needs to try and get some sort of LIFE!!!! You then would have better things to do other than researching the Kidds.. How Ugly of you!!!!!!! You have no Shame!!!! No Life!!!!!! It personally sounds like you are just mad with the Kidds and just stricking out .... Any yes Ansley are you just glad you saw bowls and dishes in those dog runs?? Means that are getting feed.!! And tell me please just what is a person to do with the money they make from selling a dog, cat, etc.?? It sounds as if you are somewhat jealous or that you have tons of genetic problems yourself that you can't deal with. This is such a shame and sad site.. I do hope The Kidds can get a real good "Slander" suit against whomever started this and everyone else that jumped on the wagon to disgrace them.. I just hope the Kidd family can over-come this! I will keep them in my prayers.. AND YES I AM AN ANINAL LOVER!!

i noticed the comment made on the other post about the claims of litters Samantha has had, and then the comment about the Male Papillon. Do you know that you can be considered a Broker, if you buy a puppy/dog and re-sale that dog, if you had the intentions to do so. You, Samantha, stated you bought him and his brother from a lady in Iowa, and then you sold him, I am guessing that is the same people who posted they bought a male Papillon from you. That is brokering dogs/puppies, no matter what way you look at it. I have a problem with trading dogs by anyone, did you purchase the male papillon's or did you trade for them? you know, your life is your life and you have to live it and be responsible for it, that is plainy seen. Anyone can "own" a home, or better yet, "own" a mortgage, or "rent" a home. This entire posting about your home and family, I don't necessarily agree with the way it has come out and ended up. But the dogs and animals I do care about, and think it is simply awful for you to have the number of dogs you have, and breeding them like you are breeding them. Your claims for only a few litters, that makes me wonder if in fact the dogs you have if something is wrong with them, because having them in pens and cages, male and females mixed, I am sure with that number, that you are not skipping heat cycles, nor even thining of it, maybe you had some litters and just aren't telling about it for fear of how it will look and seem. I think this is just sick, and it makes me sad.

Let me start of by saying I do not ever remember speaking with you, I am not saying that I did not talk with you just simply that I dont remember this. I have even checked my emails but nothing, ok thats neither here nor there. What I do have to say is my vet has not, and will not give presciption medication without seeing the animal. I never said that to anyone. What I was refering to is when I call my vet and as an example if I say hey doc I have a dog who has some loose stool he will say have you tryed pepto or kayo pectate. He will not diagnose a dog over the phone. I also have to say, I am senserily sorry if I offened you in any way shape or form. As I said I do not remember speaking with you, but I may have. I dont understand how you can say "the house looked awful too me as well, and this was just from the pictures, which was not even a close up at all, but you could tell it was terrible looking too me", just from a picture. If you have never been to my home which you admitted you had not, how can you make that assumtion? Why say anything in refrence to my home? I did not at all want you or anyone else for that matter to feel sorry for me, if anything I want you to be happy for me I have 3 beautiful, healthy children, a wonderful husband, we own our home and we have some wonderful 4 legged children to share our lives with. Ashley, I am in no way shape or from picking a fight. I just wanted to say I am sorry if I offended you. If you are ever in Alabama, look me up and I will let you come see my family so you can see with your own eyes they are ALL well cared for. Good luck with your dogs and your brothers Mastiffs. God Bless

okay, I have been reading these post on Samantha Kidd for the past few days now, and even though I have opted out of commenting on the subject matter for fear that I would not be helping the matter at all, I figure I would try to make sense of some of the comments on here. I am not sure what or how my comments on this matter may be construde, but here goes. I do not agree with those coming on this site and using this site as a means of talking about someone for no appareant reason. First of all, I like a few other on this site, do not know these people making the claims against Samantha Kidd and her breeding dogs. This is a world of free speech and unfortunately their are people out their who will abuse that right. Getting back too the point, yes, Samantha does breed dogs, yes, she has a number of dogs , and several breeds of dogs. Yes, she has breeder friends, and I am sure if they have dealt with her in the past they would and could attest to her breeding program. Her breeding program no matter how many dogs or the number of various breeds she does, is actually of no importance. What is important though is the care of the dogs and the quality and care in which a breeder should take in their breeding stock. This board, ripoffreport, in my opinion, is nothing but a step up from a chat-room. People can come on this site and post facts, opinions, lies, etc., without anyone knowing the actual truth. I have glanced over this site numerous times in the past, and no matter what people will come to this site and "search" breeders/puppy millers/ backyard breeders, just too see who is doing what and why. I do not agree with breeders who are puppy mills and back yard breeders, and yes, I believe there are breeders out there that do fall into that category. I also do not agree with people coming on this site and starting threads on people for no reason. I also hate too see people on these threads about Samantha trying to help her, but in fact telling lies themselves. I guess you could say, I just don't like a lie, whether it is made to help or hurt someone it is wrong! That is simply my belief. Sorry for getting off the subject, there are good breeders out there and there are bad breeders. That is the thing, how someone interprets you as a breeder is which category you will be labeled. Some people make false judgement based on first opinions or first impressions. I am not sure who the people are that went and saw Samantha's home and animals, I do not know what shape those animals were in. I do not know who is lying and who is not, what I do know is that everyone on this Board needs to stop lying! Whether good or bad, lies have a way of coming out in the end and can do more damage once they do surface. I am sorry that Samantha is going through this or that any breeder would have to endure the stress of public labeling. So I am not sure if becuase she is a breeder, has a certain number of dogs as mentioned earlier, or what inparticular has caused people on here to label her a puppy miller. I honestly don't think it is the number of dogs you have, but honestly how you take care of them. yes, I believe all animals should be treated well and taken care of by their owners. This is nothing new people, everyone knows this. I'm not sure if any of the stuff is true what the people are saying about Samantha or not, I do not live there, and haven't seen those people or her current home. I also do not know if these people are making these accusations up or if any of it is true, it is not for me to decide. Unfortunately sites such as this one, does provide labeling of people to exist with no documentation to support those claims. That is my problem, whether true or false, this site actually doesn't care, no documentation is ever requested to prove or disprove any claim made against someone on here. And unfortunately, the general public is able to make their assumptions and form opinions about other people based entirely on someone else's writings! That should not be allowed at any point. I do wish that people would look at other qualities besides this particular website, and understand what this website does, before they allow themselves to become judgemental of someone else. My advice, if you are looking to purchase a puppy from anyone, go in person and meet this person in their home, meet the puppy, the parents of the puppy, leave, go talk to the veternarian the breeder uses, ask questions not only about that puppy's parents, but the breeder's other dogs as well, ask about problems the breeder has had over the years, ask about health issue that he/she has endured. Ask for references from the breeder, not only email references, but phone numbers, names, address, all breeders keep records of such details. If the breeder tells you they will get that up for you and email it too you or call you later with it, don't bother! Get what you need from that breeder at that time, so as not to give them the chance to change storys or cover up mistakes made. Call the USDA, all breeders in the U.S. are REQUIRED to be licensed by them if they fall into this category: Pet Breeders- Anyone breeding pets for the wholesale trade must be licensed. You also may have to be licensed if you sell dogs as breeding stock to other breeders. Some small-scale breeders can qualify for an exemption (see "Hobby Breeders"). Annual license fees are based on 50 percent of gross sales of regulated animals. Hobby Breeders according to the USDA are: Hobby Breeders- Small-scale breeders with gross sales under $500 per year are exempt, as long as these sales do not include wild or exotic animals, dogs, or cats. If you own no more than three breeding female dogs or cats and sell the offspring, into the pet channels only, you are exempt. Get the facts, then make your determination / decision as to whether to purchase from a breeder, just don't make the mistake and fall into the category where you are a victim of false claims on a person! This was not done to hurt any breeder, but honestly breeders should be licensed and I agree with them being regualted.
