This man is a puppy mill. He sends sick and poorly bred dogs to unsuspecting buyers. His dogs have fake registration papers made up by him. He does not properly care for his dogs and does not know what female he has bred to which male. If you have a problem with a dog you have bought from him he will yell at you and used vulgar and abusive language.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Blahh Blahh Blahh Who cares. You are the piece of [censored] that you are and you have live with it. All myself or anyone can do is warn people about you before they make the same mistake I did. I did not come to your kennel for your sake, not mine. you should be grateful for that.
Bye Bye

p.s.
I never said I was sane. in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Same old ###e coming from a nutcase call a master Dog trainer.. That may be.. Perhaps he is good at training dogs but he is not the sort of person I want my dogs sold to or given away to. He continues to try to slash my good name and claim I have badly bred dogs.. WTF Does he know about our dogs we breed here. His threats are pointless.
Grow up little boy..
Note to all Commentors - Please ensure you spot check one of the three 'attitude towards this post' when you leave a comment so we can get a general feel for the original posting - otherwise we lose track of the point.
Secondly - I understand JS's feelings, he's trying to defend himself with all of his long posts - but can we ALL please stick to/make way for the essential facts FOR and AGAINST as it has becomes nothing more than a pointless slang match.
Keep it clean - bad mouthed opinions should be kept to oneself - only facts and valid Q's & A's sould remain.
All the slanging will not get us anywhere over the years. If all the facts were properly documented (without personal opinion) there would be enough material from several buyers from JS to go to court.
Let us progress and move forward with this please. Thank you.
Hi my name is Carlos Pez from Mexico city.
I want to tell my story. I meet Jack by facebook and I talk to him by skype .In fall of 2012. I went to Cambodia to give lithography classes to the royal university.
I live with a TRD since 8 years. In mexico we don´t have to TRD. So I have an opportunity to have a male dog.I get in contact with Jack. We have a very interesting conversation about the breed, He knows a lot. So I visit him to his house. He help me to get a nice hotel and he coach me all the way. He offer me a room in his house. Very kind of his part. I can tell he has a strong personality but always with education (with bad words included). We make a deal and he make me discounts, he is hard with the money but at the same time he offer me good deal that make me loose the sleep. Hard to make a decision with the opportunities that he offer me. Then I bring 4 dogs one without payment, he give me time to pay it. ( Very nice from him) .
I read all the complains. This is not my experience with him. I be 10 days, every day with him and the dogs. I saw all the
kennels, the dogs has a lot of space. They clean every day. They have big fields for exercice. I help him a little because
he has a lot of work. He is full time to his dogs. I saw him. I understand how he express himself. He is tired about so many work. They
way he lives and talk is very direct so some people get mad. They help me all the way to Bangkok. His wife bring me to the airport. He could not go with us because he has to be with the dogs. So for me become a good friend!
I'm very happy with my dogs and I hope to see him again, by the way he lives in a beautiful place,
I'm a young Canadian girl from Ontario I emailed Jack he contacted me by calling me within the same day I was shocked most breeders don't contact me so fast. He called and finally the second time I picked up. We talked on the phone for about 45 minutes and majority of our conversation was about Jack telling me what he did in 1980 in 1983 in 1987: pretty much his whole life story. He pretty much wanted to prove himself to me before I did research on him (which I didn't do until I Hung up the phone w/him) I did not want to mention that I read anything online when I politely declined the interest of a puppy and thanking him for the time he took to call me & I received an email back asking why I wasted his time. After that he got very rude to the point where I thought it was very unprofessional. Professional breeders would normally tell you other places where you can purchase this dog he on the other hand immediately began attacking me he analyzed every single email and copy and paste and analyze every single sentence. He began to call me ignorant and stupid and all sorts of kinds the names I threaten to expose all of our emails online to let everybody see how our first contact went down. This true & simple fact made him more angry and emails continued on with very little respect for me as a potential buyer. I have never been to his kennel I don't know what his property looks like but judging by the reading online and the responses I am getting through email (from him) he is what people are saying and he is trying very hard to defend himself and he is exposed all over the Internet no matter where someone posted a comment he is on there trying to redeem himself. I've never been so upset with someone I've never met in my life pressure selling is not the way to buy a puppy. Potential buyers should not have to feel bad about inquiring about a dog. My last straw was when I contacted a Canadian breeder she knew immediately what /who I was referring to and all I did was describe some nasty emails we had between each other. I have every single email between each other and I am willing to share with anybody who wants to see them. I have contacted quite a few breeders all which were lovingly kind people none of them put pressure on me to buy immediately, but here was Jack trying to tell me to send the money right away (a deposit on a puppy).
I was offended, upset I even took the time out of my day to write this .
It's almost like he couldn't take no for an answer. & then the emails started.
Feel free to contact me via email I will be happy to forward anything & everything we had in our conversations just to prove what I've stated is true.
And last but not least I'm sure he will be on here, defending himself (once again) analyzing every single sentence (on this blog). Ha wouldn't be surprised if I get another nasty email.
My name is Melissa, you can' contact me melissacullen1983@hotmail.com
Hi I would like to join on on this thread and let people know about jack sterling. Do not buy from this man.
Basically I paid him 1000£ and I've not got any dog that he promised me
I was to buy two and he ask for deposit and I sent that to him, although I was not comfortable sending him money from the uk to Thailand via western union I still went ahead
To my surprise he sold the female dog when I was in a spot of trouble although I had paid deposit and was promised two dogs from him.
Cut a long story short I came all the way from uk to Thailand to see the dogs myself . This man has taken my money and is refusing to pay me back because I don't want his dogs from him. He is one off the worst trd breeders I've come across since I started my search
He owes me 1000£ and he's telling me I'm not getting it back,
Well jack I have news for you, I've reported you to the chiang mai police and ill do everything to get back my money.
Ill also post the emails he sent to me very soon,
Anyone please feel free to voice your opinion about JACK STERLING
ILL UP DATE THIS SOON
RAY FROM UK
This slightly true.. Ray sent me 900 pounds and gave us 5000 Thai Baht the night he came back to Chiang Mai from spending 2 months in a Thai jail for buying or dealing drugs in PATTAYA.. His lawyer contacted me about he wanting the money back for a dog he had paid half the money on. We have the dog we bought for him due to we did not have a non related male as he wants a breeding pair cuz it seems he wants to become a new greeder breeder in the UK so he can rip off new Brits. He is the one who changed his mind and decide not to take that male. Not my fault! Nothing wrong with the TRD here only the ones who are now trying so hard to become new wannabe greedy breeders..Let me ask all who are able to read.. if you tell anyone you want to buy a dog and then you come to say you did not have enough money to pay.. would you give a person their money back because he found cheaper quality elsewhere?
The female was sold cuz he was in prison and I have only a short window of time in selling a puppy.. That new buyer is in Italy and she knows of the guy Ray.. as does two other TRD people in London.. Ray did a video with me when he first arrived and he said the dogs looked good to him... and they are.. but now these same TRD became ### to him.. Go figure this guy.. The police in Chiang Mai just laughed at him as I went to see them. They said it was a civil matter and Ray needs to sue me. His lawyer will charge him more money to get that deposit money he gave me back. Now, what about the blue puppy he bought? He just forgot it cost me money to buy that puppy and care for that puppy... Am I to lose in that deal.. Ray Hanson is a very nice man who has turned into a big crybaby.. RAY, WHY DID YOU RIP US OFF?
This all ### Ray never pay all the money and is trying to make story bad at Jack. I was there. Ray go to prison for dealing grass to a police man. He spend 1-2 months in jail and never tell us. Jack had to sell the female to another lady as Ray never contact him because Ray was in jail serving his time for deal drugs in Thailand. Ray owes me money and he lies here. I think he good man and I see his is a liar. He not tell true here. People who buy my TRD are buying great puppies. Jack have great bloodlines. I think these few people are crazy people. The never meet Jack or know him as I do. Jack is a very good man who love this breed. Only these few are stupid and angry for what. I have a very good kennel and not a puppy mill as they start to say on page one. Not one of these people ever meet Jack in person. All is slander from very stupid people I think.

I recently as of 4 days ago contacted Jack Sterling and I will not say bad things about him. I will let you be the judge of his actions as to whether you will buy from him. My last message to him was to never contact me again.
1. me...On Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 9:56 AM,
So I was in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA a few days ago and walked by a
store with its door open. Immediately I fell in love with 2 dogs that seemed so
comfortable with me loving on the, It was 2 brothers ... Thai Ridgebacks.
Truly love at first site. I want one so bad. Can you please tell me more about
them. You site keeps saying the they are not for everyone, What am I missing
about this dog. I really want one.
Thanks
Melissa
2. Jack. wrote BTW.. The sunglasses shop gets a lot of tourists telling me about
those two dogs and I mean a lot of people. But not one has ever sent me a foto
of the two dogs. I would love to show this shop and their dogs and tell that
story. There are several owners in that area. But I have no idea what
has happen to them as that was all before Katrina.

you seems to know more about the store than me. I was just a tourist too
and you are right, it was a sunglass shop. I didn’t even look at there
merchandise. You should be very happy because these 2 dogs were well taken care
of. Very calm in nature and letting everyone love on them. I def. want a
blue. I have 2 other dogs (Dobermans) so don’t know if I should get a female or
male. Not into breeding or showing so it will be neutered at the right age.
Do you have clients who have made the trip to see you to get a dog? I want to
talk to several of them before making a decision. Also what is your price? I
am doing intensive research before I jump right in. Thanks for the continued
contact.

Here is a list of 10 people over 10 years.. They have all the
ages..and 3 have not got their TRD yet but have taken their leap of faith and
sent me their money upfront and need to wait until January for me to ship those
pups.. the other seven bought from me and I hope they give a favorable comments
about me and their TRD.
5. me... On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Will be in touch soon! If I get a dog, do you think the ones
coming to get their dog will bring mine back with them and then I will meet them in the US? Just a thought
6. Jack Sterling Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 8:56 AM
I have no idea where you live. Fill out my contacts forum and then
I can pass it by then who are going to LAX. So far it is 3 TRD from litter #2..
Buy mu fawm female and that means that entire litter will be sent the same day.
About January 15 or there about. You just need to pay my Bank od America account
in California from any Bank of America branch across the USA the cost of a cage
$250, the cost of shipping $650 and the cost of this female $1500 ... a total of
$2400.. Once I see that money in my account ..You, Adam, James, Ryan and
Jessica will get that litter of TRD born that day September 15th. Litter # 2
will be shipped to LAX and all will then be shipped to JFK, Boston, amd
Philly... and you?
7. Me... On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 8:08 AM, sorry, I did not expect the cost to be so high. Thanks. Should have asked
the cost in the beginning. My bad. ( see 2 or 3rd email to Jack... I did ask him. And this was the final email where he showed his true self.
8. Jack write 10/19/14 High? Where do you live? I lived in California in the 1990's and
the TRD was $2000 back then. The dollar was worth a wee bit more and the Thai
baht a lot less. I paid $8600 for 2 ### and 1 stud. The Chihuahua and the
Yorkie were on the market from a fine breeder for about $800 up to
$1500.The TRD was totally unknown in the west in 1994. The cost of
shipping and cage in Thailand is higher than the USA cuz the US has a huge
buying power in many things including the cage.. Thailand allows its people to
ship with wire cages that is cheaper than the plastic cage that America airlines
approve only for so-called safety reasons. A wire cage is cheap.. a fraction of
a plastic cage. You want a BLUE male? I have 4 puppies with no ridges I will
sell for $300 to $400. They need homes and why not? A perfect BLUE male is
$2500 and cheap lesser quality BLUE TRD is as low as $300. The bus fare is what
it is.. Leaves my home in a pickup truck ($6.00 a gallon) and drives the pup at
the 4th month to the Chiang Mai Airport to be unloaded and ready to ship to
Bangkok which is the international hub in Thailand to be loaded on an
international flight to Korea or Japan and then after the reloading of fuel
($$?) then flies to LAX which is almost half the way around the planet. Then
you receive your pup at the TAC office and pay them the fee they want to do the
paperwork cuz that is the way it is in the USA. I bet a Micky D burger is more
money here than there.. Many thing is more costly here than there because of the
USA's buying power. Wal Mart buys here cheap and sell there at a much higher
price cuz it cost so much to ship stuff.. You come here and buy that same TRD at
the 8th week and it will be cheaper for sure. The rule in the USA is 4th
month... who cares for that new puppy for free? To the EU country it is 7
months and a $500 blood test plus 90 days at $10 a day here. What is day care
boarding in the US or Europe maybe 4 times my $10 fee. What did you
expect to pay for a extremely rare FAWN female? I have BLUE and RED and BLACK
for $500 up to $1500. Yeah you are right.. You never told me where you
live only HOW MUCH are my doggies in the sceeen you see at www.ThaiDog.comYes you wasted your
time and mine by not filling out the contacts form that clearly tells you the
prices.
Never will I do business with this man. So glad I read what others said about him and this proves they were right.
Although I have never done business with this fatf*ck, he seems like an absolute [censored] of the highest order. And as for the grammatical errors, people in glass houses... you massive pedo santa.
Jack Sterling is now advertising on face book under chiang mai second hand he loves himself and all his dogs
Jack is now advertising on facebook chiang mai second hand just read what hesays
Who are these people? I have never met any of them. I did meet Ray Hanson and I thought he was a good guy. I never met the girl calling herself Melissa in Canada. All she did was email me. The road turned sour with her. So, I just refused to sell her. The Dog Man is a wee bit looney me thinks.. But again I never met him. All of these people I never met except Ray. None of them ever came here and the reason they wanted a TRD was to cash in on them. How can you call any person you have never met or have ever done any sort of deal in buying a puppy from them a puppy mill? That is just plain slander. So, you can rear 3 pages of just plain BS at this complaints board about me.. None is actual or factual.. all are from the types of people you call HATERS in most of the Internet forums. Notice after reading all this dribble from all these small minded people you can if you are intelligent figure these are jealous, lonely, and full of hate sort of people. There are hundreds of thousands of people like this out there across the world. The best I can do is to continue to create the very best in this breed and try to sell only those who are positive. Who are these people anyways? None will really post their real names. But they seem to love to attack and slander me a guy who got this TRD breed started in the USA in 1994 when there was no internet and I am still here doing the best I can in creating always a better animal. If you all really knew the real truth and not this silly BS from all these coward.. Shame on all of those who posted all this negativity that is on this complaints page.. Shame on you all.
The saga finally ends, and all of Jack Sterling's prisoners were set free when Jack died from complications of COVID-19, February 2021. Karma finally caught up with Jack. His family state side (who didn't agree with his practices) gave consent for Elephant Nature Park (who are caring for his dogs and are currently up for adoption) & Watchdog Thailand the legality to go in and seize his starving and neglected dogs. While the world was dancing on his soon to be grave, not caring about the fate of the dogs & puppies left in his compound. Two Americans who love the breed worked together to get the proper forms drawn up, so his family stateside could sign the proper legal forms and email them the to the rescue, relinquishing his dogs to their care. Without their love for the breed, his dogs would have died a slow, painful death from starvation and dehydration. Special thanks to Watchdog Thailand for exposing Jack Sterling for his abuse and neglect of the Royal breed of Thailand; Elephant Nature Park for taking in all of Jack's dogs for a second time (1st confiscation was July of 2020); Cathleen A. Combs (Land of Bellehound Thai Ridgebacks) for typing up a relinquishment form for Jack's family to sign; Justin Saenz (TopKing Thai Ridgebacks) for emailing the forms to Sterling's family, so they could email their consent to have all of Jack's dogs legally be removed from his property, and taken into the custody of the rescue.
