Morningstar Shibas - Defrauded/Broke Show Dog Contract
I would like to add the Ms. Morningstar has another email address, starshibas@***.com
I would like to give an update to my complaint. On November 14th 2012, I sent an email to Ms. Morningstar. The email did not come back undelivered, so I know she received it. As you will read, I am a very rational person and only want Ms. Morningstar to sign off on my female like she agreed. I signed a contract for a show/breeding dog, not a pet. This female can not be bred and have AKC puppies without Ms. Morningstar signing off on her. I did not pay over $5000 for a pet! I have not heard from Ms. Morningstar, she ignores this email.
Please read below.

Joan,
I would like to be done with this. I am in bad health and I know that this can not be good for you either. Both you and I have bigger things to worry about.
All I am asking is for you to sign off on Lily\'s AKC papers and send them to me. I have paid you $2500 for Lily, and paid $300 to ship Polani and given you registration of Polani(who I paid $2500 for to you already). You agreed to sign off on Lily once you took ownership of Polani, I\'m just asking for you to hold your end of the agreement.
Although you agreed to pay for Polani\'s shipping, the shipping will be a mute point, since I owed you a couple hundred dollars for Lily\'s health certificate and meds and buckets.
Once I recieve Lily\'s papers, I will rescind all complaints against you and I will agree to sign a paper agreeing to this. And we will agree never to talk to one another nor sue one another. I will wish you good luck in your showing and we can go forward in our programs.
I do not have the Taki X Keiko puppy anymore, you have no worries there.
I think this agreement is very rational, and we can agree that we both will come out on top by doing this. The less stress the better.

By the way, per the last paragraph of Stephanie Abel's tale of deceit above ("Also, Ms. Morningstar has sold the JP import to another breeder!
The very same import I sent to her and she was supposed to pay for his shipping."), the breeder in question is Lonita Kress of GoldKress Shibas in Lawrence, KS. She knew the stud dog in question belonged to Stephanie, but still took him anyway. For those who don't believe this, those who think these "ladies" aren't capable of bamboozling other breeders/buyers, a signed sale contract between Ms Morningstar & Ms.
Kress for the dog in question (Polani) exists and has been seen by a number of people in the breed. Don't just be careful of the breeders who openly cheat others, make sure you check out who they're in bed with...
To whoever the above "anonymous" poster is this is Lonita and YES I bought Polani completely above board from joni and Stephanie KNEW I was buying him because I called her and talked with her about it... so before you go accusing someone of something get your *** facts straight!
Lonita, oh what a tangled web you weave when first you practice to deceive...and you'll always get exposed (maybe you ought to get your facts straight!).
Lonita, what's sad is that you bought the dog before Joni satisfied her end of the agreement with Stephanie. What's even sadder is that Stephanie didn't know about it until after you signed Joni's sale contract on 10/15/2012 at the show.
Your memory seems to be faulty in your advancing years, Stephanie actually found out about the sale from someone who witnessed it at the hotel (not you!) and from someone the witness told, then she called you to find out what the *** was going on. She never approved the dog being sold to you before you signed Joni's contract...you really should get your *** facts straight!
No response as of this date, Lonita knows she was in the wrong..."Silence is Golden."
Lonita Kress's silence speaks volumes about what she did...she made a deal with the devil and didn't care who it hurt!
Sad, Lonita Kress says to herself, "What would Donald Trump do?" (and follows that mantra!). Well, he's screwed a lot of people for a long time & gotten away with it...birds of a feather flock together!
I was done the same way by Joni Morningstar, Morningstar Shibas. I signed a contract for a puppy back and she would sign off of a $2,500 *** I bought from her.
After the first litter I sold a puppy for her and made her $1,000. On the second litter she refused to sign off of the papers and refused to respond to emails and phone calls. Thank God A.K.C.
knows of her and gave me the papers anyway. Stay away from Morningstar Shibas and do not buy a dog and allow Joni Morningstar to be on the papers.
Ms. Morningstar had as high as 76 dogs in the mid-summer of 2012, down to 72 in October and 69 the very last time I saw her.
When Animal Control came the first week of November, she had 69 dogs, but told them she had 49 (didn't show them all the dogs, especially the ones crammed in to the laundry room, yes, crated dogs stuffed in a small room!). Of the 69 dogs, approximately 29-32 of them spent up to 23-hours a day in their crates with 3-rotations max per day to *** or ***. Also, Ms. Morningstar had no kennel license, even though she told people she did (supposedly paid $500 mid-summer 2012 for a license, but never did!).
During 2012, she did 10 breedings w/10 litters whelped and at least 3-more litters born just prior to 2012 (approximately 13 litters in 12-month period). In Oregon any "kennel" or facility with over 50-dogs is considered a puppy mill, she was well over that.
Unfortunately, Animal Control believed her about the number of dogs on the property and her kennel help kept the premises quite clean, so she got away with it. All this is over & above the complaints listed below, so come to your own conclusions about whether or not this is someone you'd want to do business with...
