Gayla Striplin is probably the most dishonest breeder out there right now. Trust me I know from experience! I purchased an adult male from her for $2250, who she claimed to be champion sired and and lied about his size. Not only was he not ch. Sired, he had no absolutely NO champion background at all.
When I contacted her to let her know that I received his pedigree from AKC and that there were no champions she produced some fake, doctored up documents that were NOT in any way official. (I think it was something she made on her computer)
Finally I asked her for either a full refund in exchange for the dog back or for a partial refund. She refused of course. So I threatened to take her to court, to which she responded "don't waste your time, you don't have a case". I had all the emails where she claimed his daddy was a champion and my reciepts so I did have a case.
I then contacted the clerk of courts in Maryville, MO... Looking for some direction. Not surprisingly they knew all about her shady business practices, the woman actually said (before I could get it out) "let me guess, Gayla Striplin!!!" Next I contacted the Anderson Sundell Law Firm in her hometown, who also knew all about her. Their exact words were "let's take her down". The attorney informed me that he was also contacted by a woman in Washington state who was ripped off!
Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to fly down to Missouri to get justice, but I can smear her name a little... That's free! Please do not put yourself through the headache or heartache, there are honest breeders out there! Oh I forgot to mention she had her phone # changed 3 times while I was dealing with her! That spells SHADY to me! Her husband also has a criminal record for assult and stalking! Yikes!
