Siberian Husky Scammer in Medicine Hat AB
Mood:  sad
Topic: Ed Kopp and Debra North

In June 2008, my husband and I were looking to purchase another female Siberian Husky. We already had a 2 year old, and wanted a companion for her. I have been involved in APRI since getting my female and through the forum there recieved alot of great advice and helpful information on showing, breeding and buying another Husky. Nanuk had just turn two and we wanted to have her hip and eye certified before breeding. She had some faults for showing but did come from good kennel and had champions in her line. We had found an AKC stud we were considering for breeding.

We were looking for a female from a good kennel, that was AKC, CKC registered, that had show potential. We contacted an ad on Kiijjii, a Riz Johnstone ( aka Debra North, Lynn Kopp etc...) responded. Most breeders will only sell purebreds on a pet contract or co=owner. Others wouldn't even talk to us. I am a newbie with limited experience, so i relied on what had found through investigation and on the advice of other breeders.

I responded to an ad stating:Street address: Alberta, T0K 0G0 View map
Location: Calgary
Date Listed: 19-May-08

These beautiful babies are in-house raised, well socialized, temperament tested, and used to small animals and children. First shots and dewormings are complete and they are ready to go. Health Certificate as well as lifetime genetic health guarantee. Dark brown and blue eyes. Blacks and silvers.

I inquired on the silver girl was told:was she a purebred: she was gone but had black sister and: Parents were AKC American dogs but not reregistered with CKC so breeder registered with WKC>>therefore she is $700 and the best personality and affection regardless of paperwork!!!

She had sent me her number and I excitedly called. Why is she not registered with CKC, she said that the CKC doesn't register AKC dogs born in the US. She said the father was from "Rocky" a two time AKC ch. gave me directions to the website of the kennel. Now this a great kennel with lots of champions. Since I have been looking for a while, no kennels would sell their champion sired pups to just anybody.  Riz johnstone had 3 so I was feeling pretty safe. she also explained to me that Miki's mom was from the Seppala line, the original Huskies bought over from Russia, that was impressive. I would receive a health gaurantee, a genetic gaurantee, because both parents were AKC registered, I would be able to register her with APRI. and this very knowledgeable and experienced woman whos husband showed and handled dogs was going to be my mentor. I still decided to check out the CKC, no known reports on a Riz Johnstone, no we don't register American Dogs with CKC. for me this was a shock because I thought that AKC and CKC were the same but different countries. We talked or emailed everyday, made arrangements to meet on Sun. to pick up our pup. Now in email land I'm not so good I don't clean out my box I still have emails sent to me 3 years ago in my box, usually only deleting any junk when it comes in but thats it.  the night before the scheduled pick up I was sent an email that said that two females don't usually get alog all that well, and she had a male that was the pick of the litter. please call. I called and she said that she had the pick of the little a black and white male that would be good for breeding and wouls show wonderfully. I had really wanted the silver and white female. she did have a silver and white male but I would do so much better with the black male, better for show and breeding.

We were suppose to meet in Brooks just past Red Deer the halfway point between her house and Edmonton. Sunday was my husbands only day off so with her house being an 8 hour drive we thought this was very helpful. when we got there and called they were running late and could we meet them in Medicine Hat instead. We agreed, met them played with the pups and decided on The pick of the litter. I asked about all the paperwork, OMG I'm so sorry I forgot it, we will send you a hard copy and email you a copy so at least you will have a copy for now. I was a little uncomfortable but she had been so nice and helpful, that we decided to take the dog now, rather then wait another week before being able to come back. I did make them give us a receipt. Which thankfully Ed Kopp signed. Three days later I email her letting her know what we had named Miki, and requesting at least his vet records, because he was having problems with the runs. She became really offensive telling me I was a neurotic pet owner, that Miki had never been to a vet she gave him his shots and dewormed him herself and that it was just the change of enviroment. I was upset about never having taken him to a vet, but she did raise and sell champion siberians and horses, she must know what she was doing,  I felt deeply ashamed for hurting her feelings and didn't take him to the vet until two weks later. HE HAD WORMS.

To this date I have received nothing from her. She won't respond to my calls or emails. there are no papers on him and looks like she can't ever give me any. Through investigation and googling, and the help from three wonderful women. She can't register Miki because They have been exspelled from CKC for unethical practices, Her name is Debra North but she uses alias, lots of phone numbers and email addresses,  and she doesn't own Miki's mom. She sells Pomeranians and horses as well. Kennel name Inukchakka. She breed for money, not anything else.
