The Anonymous Complaint - the Whispering Pines Poodle story

This is the story of the destruction of the Whispering Pines Poodles at the hands of a vegan animal rights extremist.


“A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.”
William Shenstone, English Poet (1714-1763)

As I approach the 10 year anniversary of the destruction of the Whispering Pines poodles at the hands of an animal rights extremist and the release of my next book, I'd like to walk down #MemoryLane 
Reserve Best in Show winning 'Blaze'


Picture it 10 years ago. I've been hit with a 1-2-3 punch that has caused a situation in my home that has never happened before. I have literally triple the number of dogs in my house than I normally cared for. I have retired adults for sale and unsold puppies. The first punch that hit me was September 2009. The stock market crashed. A massive recession hit. Millions are thrown out of work. The market for poodles collapses immediately. With their grooming requirements, poodles have a reputation as an expensive dog. Overnight, no one wants to buy a poodle. The months trickle by as I pray for the market to recover. I continue to house and care for the dogs that are for sale but I have no buyers.

Desperate to sell dogs and cut down on the number of dogs in my home I slash the price of the dogs for sale. The older puppies I now list for an $150 adoption fee to cover the price of a spay surgery. I still have no buyers. Weeks go by without a single application. 

 All of the adults for sale 'have' homes allegedly. My current families want them but they all ask me to wait and they will take their dog when school ends for their kids and they have more time. I know these are all excellent homes so I agree to wait until they are ready. I should have been firm and demanded the dog be placed when I want it placed but I want my dogs to go to good homes. I agree to wait while I struggle to sell the puppies.

In desperation, I start advertising on places I had never touched with a ten foot pole. I start advertising on places I despise like Craig's List. Anything to get buyers for these dogs and get them placed in homes.... That gives the local animal rights activist the 'in' she is looking for but I didn't know it at the time.

They send a buyer, Suzanne Dokovna, in to buy one of the older 6 month old puppies from me from the September litter born around the time of the stock market crash. At $150 a puppy, they have nothing to lose. I didn't know she was using her middle name as a last name. I researched her background as I do all visitors but I found nothing on her.   


I asked her to fill out my buyer application repeatedly but she constantly deflects me and pretends to have 'missed it.'  She finally gives me an unlisted cell phone number.   I kept pressing her for a home telephone number (a land line) or a work number to verify her identity and again pressed her on filling out my application. She refused. We exchange dozens of emails and talk on the phone several times but she has one excuse after another why she can't verify her identity.  I finally send Suzanne an email telling her that AKC record keeping requires me to document where every dog has gone and if she would not provide me with her name and address I could not sell her this dog.  I should have walked away.   She gave off so many red flags but I was desperate to get the 6 month old puppies placed in homes.  


She demands the right to come to my home immediately after I have gotten off of work so I have no time to put the dogs out to potty or clean up after the puppies. This is yet another red flag that she is a crook. She claims to want to take this dog immediately and that she comes from an experienced poodle family. She claims to be 'so excited' to have found me and wants to give one of my dogs a good home.

She twanged my radar the whole time she was in my home. She was the youngest person I've ever sold a dog too. She looked to be in her very early 20's. She arrived in an expensive luxury car, something far beyond her ability to pay for at her 'retail job' she told me she had. I knew she was a bad apple but couldn't figure out how to stop the sale. I never expected she was an animal rights mole, I thought she was simply an inexperienced home.

She is visibly freaked when I make her sign a sales contract. All Whispering Pines poodles were always sold on contract no matter what. She's very upset but at last she agrees to sign.

One of the clauses she signed states: "The Buyer agrees to have Puppy spayed/neutered between six and ten months of age and not used for breeding at any time. Should the buyer violate this clause and breed this puppy/dog, they will pay the Seller an additional $3,000 due immediately upon such an act taking place."   

While this may seem onerous, Suzanne the Sell-Out paid me $150 for her puppy.  ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS for a purebred poodle puppy out of champion parents.   Her father is reserve Best in Show winning UKC Champion Amandi's Fire And Ice.  Her mother is UKC Champion WP's Le Chocolat Du Luminary, CGC, CHIC.

Another clause she signed: "Seller guarantees Puppy to be in good health at the time of sale; however, it is advised that Buyer have Puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian to validate the same within three days of Ownership Transfer."
Truffles, mother of her puppy
Since I didn't check her driver's license I have no way of knowing the last name she gave me isn't her current last name but actually her middle name. I didn't know she thought she was 'doing good.' That she thought she was righteously destroying some sort of 'puppy mill' even though the parents of her puppy are titled champions.

At no time did she ever see any part of my house except a front sitting room. She met some of my adult dogs but she was not given a tour of my home. I thought that was safe.

I was wrong. I forgot the basic premise of the animal rights movement. They LIE.   Most Americans don't know that animal rights does not mean better care for animals.  It means they all DIE.  

I'm just 3 weeks from the destruction of all my dogs including Truffles shown here.   They claimed I was a mentally ill abusive puppy mill hoarder.   Funny how they waited 3 weeks to 'save' my dogs from the most 'deplorable conditions ever seen.'

Why did they do that?   

They waited until they gauged that River's puppies were 8 weeks old and at a perfect resale age.    Why should they take them any earlier and then be forced to care for them until they could be legally sold?  It makes perfect sense to a thief to wait until the breeder has fully and completely raised the puppies, vaccinated them, wormed them and fully groomed them all.  Then its suddenly the perfect time to save them from 'cruelty.'
