SOUTHERN X KIWI KENNELS - BLACKLISTED.

It's Official.  The American Pit Bull Terrier Association Inc. has blacklisted Ken Moran and Les Edward's Southern X Kiwi Kennels for falsifying paperwork.

A litter of puppies born 23 January 2008 was papered as out of Southern X Kiwi Kennel's BLAZE and sold by Les Edwards.  You may remember that we reported here that at least one pup from that litter was diagnosed with distemper.

Blaze's owner, having discovered the deception, has stated categorically that this litter is NOT out of his bitch.

Knowing what we know about Ken Moran and Les Edward's readiness to breed anything to anything and sell it as something else (see Fraud) it was inevitable that we would eventually see an indisputable example of such dishonesty.

Not only does Southern X Kiwi Kennels breed crap, rip-off their buyers and mercilessly mill their dogs under appalling conditions, they haven't even the decency to protect them from serious diseases with appropriate vaccination practices.

We have lost count of the number of people who have told the association that they have complained to the local council (one even being told to mind her own business), SPCA, and even the NZ Vet Association yet Southern X Kiwi Kennels continues to operate.  What is that about?

BUYER BEWARE.  There are still good breeders out there breeding the real deal.  Find and support them.  Zillion, Happy Sheep and LOOT are good places to look as well as our Pedigree Services section.
