Bellaclan Border Collies

I purchased a show Border Collie male from Bellaclan Border Collies (Laura K.S. Shaw) of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada in 2010. In 2013 she contacted me asking me to send him to her so he could be shown in Canada and bred.

After he was shipped to Laura and my expense she sent me one of her show dogs to show here in America. She was to pay all entry fees for my dog in Canada plus all expenses to ship him home. She was also to pay for the show expenses for her dog. When I went to enter her dog into a show I asked her for the money for entry fees and she said she was broke so asked if I could pay them. I said I would, but that she had to pay me back a.s.a.p.

I then got a call from her saying that my dog had bit someone in Canada and that he would need to be put to sleep. She said he had been aggressive toward her for about 3 weeks. My dog is a family dog and the *** she described was very severe so I told her we needed to do what was best for the dog.

She contacted me later to say that he was dangerous and violent and that she wanted me to sign his papers over to her. She did not give me a reason why other than I would be liable if he bit someone else.

I told her I would not sign the dog over to her but she could neuter him and place him in a home without children. She refused saying he was too dangerous. She continued to ask me to sign him over to her so she could give him to a breeder friend of hers. I refused saying that I did not want him bred if he was truly aggressive. She continued to threaten me with legal action if he was to *** someone else.

In August I started hearing more about Laura and began to demand for my dogs return. My dog had been seen in a grooming shop where Laura works with his belly shaved in July. Well after the *** incident. Then I started hearing that my dog never bit the person and that it was a poodle mix. Numerous people that live in the area told me this.

I continued to demand the return of my dog, and Laura continued to refuse. In December, 2013 I was given the name of another person that had been screwed over by Lauren so I contacter her to see if she could help. After a week of trying, we located the property my dog was being held on and video was taken. We were horrified at the living conditions of the dogs. It was -32 when the video was taken and no one was at the property.

Later that night the OPP (police in Ontario) took my report for stolen dog, contacted Laura and demanded the release of him. He was given to my contact in Canada and showed no signs of aggression at all. He is soon to be returned to me after being gone for almost a year.

She now owes me for his shipping home which is $508 plus tax, plus entry fees for her dog $280.

This dog is my sons best friend and she took Cash from him. Who does that to a child? Our dog may never be the same after the "loving" care that our dog recieved while in the possession of Laura Shaw, but at least he will be home with us in a warm house.

Do not believe the pictures on her website, they are all fake. They are pictures of the park, pictures inside her grooming shop and even pictures of other peoples houses/property.

I will be posting pics and videos of the conditions my dog was found in and his conditions upon return.

I bought a dog from Laura a couple of years ago after a yera of looking into tons of kennels.Bellaclan dogs are trully beautifull with great temperaments, full of energy and love to give.

She is really kind and helpfull with you. You can ask her any question and she'll respond in a blink of an eye, she'll guide you through every step of raising your border collie to become the best friend you could ever dream of.

I love my dog and will always be gratefull to Laura!

I had a very bad experience with Bellaclan (Lauren KS Shaw). I purchased a show prospect puppy from her for $1500, and paid in excess of $600 to ship her home to me.

As the puppy grew, it became apparent that there was something very wrong with her front legs - they were turning out more and more as she grew. Lauren told me that her sire had had that, and that it has 'improved' as he got older. I waited, while they got worse and worse. Eventually, I told Lauren that there was no way I could show the dog, and that I would certainly never breed her, and wanted to spay and place her.

I was told that, as per the contract, the only option I had was to return her to her, at my expense, with no refund being offered.

I declined and spayed my girl. Lauren immediately lost all interest and has NOT asked about her since.

In August of 2013 I offered my services transporting a dog that belonged to Bellaclan (Lauren KS Shaw)via car from Portland, OR to Grass Valley, CA.

I boarded the dog for 4 days previously in my care and transported her to California at Lauren's request. We discussed the amount of $75 as I was waving the boarding fees I would generally charge. This amount was agreed upon by both parties in writing.

After several weeks of asking when the payment was going to arrive and getting the run around it was very apparent that she never intended on paying me for my services.

Numerous attempts to get the payment with no success. I was told that not one but two money orders were sent but must have "gotten lost in the mail" but no proof of receipt was ever disclosed. I gave another option of her paying me via paypal but the answer was another run around and that didn't transpire into anything.

I gave up and have realized that the transportation services are a loss in this case for collecting the payment that is due.

I have 3 dogs from Bellaclan Border Collies. Lauren has been so helpful. I can call or text her any time and she will answer all my questions. My friend here in Toronto has two dogs from Lauren as well and they are seriously the nicest Border Collies we have ever seen.

Everytime Lauren is in Toronto she lets us know so that we can visit with her and so she can see the dogs. You can see that she really cares about them. I have met many of her dogs at shows here and they are always the happiest of all the dogs at the shows. Their tails are always wagging and they always have the most coat and they GLOW!

I picked my dogs up from her home and her dogs were all so happy. She didn't even let me pay for the third dog I got from her, she GAVE her to me for FREE, because she said I was such a good home!!! All the people saying that she is a horrible person need to find something better to do. All of you are commenting because of things you HEARD. How many of you have actually met Lauren? How many of you have seen all her dogs?

When I got my pups my vet commented that he had never seen such healthy pups and also was surprised at how solid they were. He said they weighed a lot for their actual size and that they must have had really good muscle mass. This was with all three of my dogs from Lauren!!! They have been perfect and Lauren has the biggest heart in the WORLD.

When my friend's dog died that she got from Lauren, Lauren spent hours on the phone crying with her...It is so crazy to read all the made up stories and comments that everyone is writing about this person who they don't actually know at all.

This world is disgusting, you should all be ashamed...all because she beats you in the show ring!!!! Go help people in need instead.

The only thing I've ever heard about this breeder is that she doesn't supply papers. Met some people at a show who had a very pretty Bellaclan ***.

They couldn't do anything with her because the dog was 2 years old and they still hadn't received papers for her and the breeder was refusing to talk to them. I advised them to lodge a complaint with the CKC as not supplying papers is illegal.

I hope they did but I doubt it. I imagine I'll see them again and if they still don't have the papers for their dog I'll be helping them get them.

I went to bellaclan kennels after finding out Lauren shaw had forged paperwork on a dog I had purchased. Her web site describes 40 acres of paradise ...

It's the worst place I have ever seen with dogs our side freezing in pens with no water and nonfood and the dogs stained from their own urine it was awful. I then founded out this father has hacked the leg of a baby goat that was frozen in snow and starved chickens and turkeys and charged. Lauren is a deceitful breeder and her images of a beautiful kennel and dogs living a great life are lies and fraud...

Not convinced drive out to hwy 608!to 597and look for the house marked 326 it's unbelievable. When I was there I discovered a stolen dog named cash which with the help of the police was released to us and we got him home to his family or im sure he would have perished it also took me a year to get all the paperwork settle and in our name but we know of many people that have had worse stories

It had been brought to my attention that animal rights fanatics and extremists have been bullying Laura of Bellaclan and family members and using fanatical and extreme measures and even posed direct threat to life of officials and direct threat to property like threatening to burn their house down if they do not find Laura guilty during inspection visits. These animal rights advocates fanatics and extremists resorted in breaking the law both civil and criminal such as illegal trespassing with intent to steal animals, invasion of privacy by stalking and posting videos on the internet with comments based on false accusations and presumptions and creating an atmosphere of cyberhate on line against Laura and Bellaclan and her family.

OPPs had been alerted as well as local neighbourhood watch in our community to protect Laura her family relations and her animals and her property. Members of Parliamnet have been informed about the situation as well.
