History of Neko...Kevin & his daughter Nicole finally were brought up on charges for falsifying documents to ship sick puppies to out-of-state customers. He was served with warrants for nine counts of felony charges for obtaining property by false pretenses. His daughter received five charges. They were accused of falsifying information on a certificate of health, which is required for shipping puppies. The kennel obtained a legitimate certificate of health exam for one dog & then altered it for several others. The incidents occurred between March 2011 & November 2012. Three veterinary hospitals - Mooresville Animal Hospital in Iredell County, Lenoir Veterinary Hospital in Caldwell County & Randall Veterinary Hospital in Mooresville were listed as places where the Salisbury kennel obtained the supposed health certificates. The falsified documents came to light when veterinarians in Lenoir & Mooresville received phone calls from out-of-state veterinarians questioning the health certificates of dogs from Right Puppy Kennel. Also, a customer in Illinois purchased what he thought was a husky mix from Right Puppy, the examining vet said he determined the animal to be a wolf hybrid which is illegal in Illinois. The allegations came to light when one of the dogs sold to a customer in Florida became sick, according to investigators, and there are certain parasitic diseases that are called "zoonotic" that can be shared between animals & humans. "what's wrong with these animals to falsify these documents or have falsified them, then you've got health risks w/ the animals & the humans that come into contact w/ these animals, you worry about that" Sheriff Auten added. The sheriff thinks more charges could be coming. Well Kevin got off the felony charges, I guess, because he has everyone in his pocket down there. His daughter Nicole only received probation for 1 year. How that many felony charges against them be reduced to just probation, the almighty $$$ I guess...
Please note... that you might see that we wrote a puppy testimonial on Kevin's webpage a few years back raving about how great our puppy Neko was. He was a great dog, but I am referring to his genetic breeding by Kevin. We posted the testimonial all before his epileptic seizures began, it was a "contest". Don't get me wrong, we LOVED NEKO TO DEATH! I just hate the fact, that a piece of crap human being (if you can even call him that) can breed animals over & over again without regard to the animal or human consequences in the end.
Obviously good breeders when they find out that there is a "genetic fault or disease" within their breeding stock, they remove that animal from breeding, period. They do not continue to breed the animals until they die! He does not do any health testing on any of his animals. Go to this site www.offa.org and type in any of his dogs names, they will not come up as being hip, elbow or patella tested for dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, baer hearing tests like the other responsible Tamaskan breeders do & can be verified! He doesn't want to spend 1 cent on those dogs if he doesn't have to, because that takes away from all of his profits. If you notice on Yadkin Wolfden website, the mother of the current litter "Lupe", is only 1 year & 2 months old. Nobody in their right mind breeds dogs under two years old & have passed their genetic testing. This is just a huge monetary game for him, he doesn't care about people (you can also tell that by talking with him or his daughter, they are quick & to the point if they even give you a straight answer & they are always pushing for their deposit to suck you in!).
Another clue to a puppy mill, "BUY IT NOW" LINKS YOU CAN PURCHASE THE PUPPY OVER THE INTERNET W/O EVEN TALKING TO THE BREEDER & SEEING THE PARENTS, PUPPY, ETC. HE DOES NOT CARE WHO BUYS HIS DOGS, HE CARES ONLY ABOUT THE MONEY!!! Responsible breeders will meet with folks before they even take deposits from them, if they feel they are good homes for their puppies, not site unseen! Also, look under his "questions" on the left - who lists all these problems with coccidia, brucellosis, distemper, parvovirus, roundworms, leptospirosis & heartworm unless he has questions about his dogs having it all the time. Neko had giardia - it is caused by becoming infected through ingesting or coming into contact with contaminated food, soil, or water. The Giardia parasite originates from contaminated items and surfaces that have been tainted by the feces of an infected animal.
PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE A PUPPY THROUGH THIS BREEDER, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE PLAGUED WITH A LIFETIME OF HEALTH ISSUES, AND POSSIBLY EARLY DEATH OF YOUR DOG & THREATS MADE AGAINST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BY KEVIN!
