Hello There,
Get the whole story prior to buying a dog from this breeder. Mrs. Romeo of Black Knight American Akitas: after I read all the blacklist information on her site about other people and breeders, I was outraged that the American Kennel Club has taken no action against her. I do not see any "champion Akita breeder" buying one of her puppies, and when I talked to her she refused to allow me to come to her home to view her dogs and the way they are kept.
I just looked up her name on Google and found she is taking people to court and calling to report animal abuse on her word alone. On Facebook she even posted a civil court case; this is hate. I found this site too: blackknightakitas.weebly.com, where she has accused people of things that are not true. You can see the answers there, and if you contact them they will give you letters from the American Kennel Club which clear one person's name. Animal control has made clear that the dogs and horses in California that she asked them to check were found to be in great condition at both people's homes. Now she is on another man's case reporting bad things about him, and she does not live in his state.
Her site's blacklist said Ohio, Oregon, California, Georgia, Alaska. Mrs. Romeo has never bought a dog from any of these breeders; I called them, and they said no, she has never bought a dog or puppy from us. This is not a moral or ethical act by her; it is a woman with an issue with airlines, the humane department, and other breeders. Mrs. Romeo has a problem with so many people, and the Akita Club of America has rules about one's personal ethics and good sportsmanship. I checked for a breeder on that site and she is not on there. This is a very scary situation, to have her stalk and write all these things about so many other people. I will not be buying my puppy from her.
