I was a puppy buyer from Judy back in Jan 2008.
1. Judy never got me my AKC paperwork. She promised and promised then just quit answering her phone.
Now I know that I could have filed a disciplinary complaint with AKC and she would have to answer to them. But I was not very knowledgeable about such things back then, and Judy never had to answer to anyone about this. This issue required that I register IPL for my dog so that I could compete with him. What a pain in the neck that paperwork was.
2. When my puppy had medical issues she told me he would grow out of it. He never did. Severe elbow dysplasia and mild hip dysplasia, pigmentary uveitis, corneal dystrophy, and digestive issues. I never could get Judy to even pick up the phone to discuss these issues. PU is heredity issue.
Judy is probably not a bad person, she is an irresponsible breeder that churns out puppies without responding to buyers with issues. She doesn't seem to really care if she gets all clearances on the dogs she breeds. What bugs me the most is that GRCA has allowed Judy to become a CCA judge when she doesn't follow the COE herself! That goes for her local GR club either, nobody has called Judy on the carpet for any offenses.
Judy has used 2 different kennel names and several different last names. So finding her pedigrees in k9data can be a little difficult.
The one good thing I can say about Judy is, my puppy Reilly had the most wonderful personality and was very easy to train. We off the cuff one day took and passed the CGC test without ever having taken an obedience class. We competed in NAHRA hunt tests and he was a wonderful bird dog with very little training. He loved all dogs, especially puppies and loved all people. His temperament was amazing! I will always miss Reilly, he was a very special guy. To that I can say Judy did right by making sure she bred the golden retriever temperament. It's just too bad she overlooks everything else.
