Northern Lights Goldens review: Sells sick puppies to unsuspecting people 54

Anyone get a pup of the supposed birth date of 12/25/2007? I too have a beautiful - yet sick boy from these awful people. My Logan was diagnosed with giardia (sp) very severely. He underwent several rounds of antibiotics and was finally cured. After several attempts/threats I finally received his AKC papers - and now my four year old boy was just diagnosed with degenerative lung disease. The specialist recommended that I contact the breeder and alert him. We are undergoing some very hard decisions now and am very upset with this so called breeder.

5 years ago I bought my Golden from them - my golden was not sick as a puppy however he was 3 1/2 when he was diagnosed with cancer we treated him - at almost 5 he has now been diagnosed with cancer again in 2 more areas of his body and again surgery most probably followed by chemo - my vet said that although goldens are prone to cancer - when you see it in young dogs it is usually bad breeding - they are NOT responsible breeders. if you bought any golden from them have every lump and bump needle biopsied no matter how young they are. these people should not be allowed to breed dogs. also if you go on the bus they travel with to dog shows you will observe an abundance of litters stacked in cages - but very few adults I LOVE MY DOG and will do all that I can for him ...but I WILL NEVER USE THIS BREEDER AGAIN!

I know where these people are now - anybody want to know? They are renting my house at 487 Wiltsieville Road Hanibal, NY 13074. Under the false pretences that they had "show dogs", that were to be kept in my barn. I stupidly rented my house to them. When going out there to collect the rent on August 7, 2013 I was able to see the total destruction of the inside of my house. There were cages lined up in my HOUSE with puppies in them. I called the police and we are having them evicted and animal control is involved. Lynn Overy came to the door with open sores all over her body and John Steib gave the police officer a false name and proceed to tell the police officer he did not remember what his birthday was. Most of the puppies had no water and he lied about that too. Since NY state has no laws set up about puppy mills or lisences, there is nothing they can do, but I can. They ruined my house, now I will ruin them. oh by the way Lynn Overy's phone number is [protected]. Lets put these sick dirt bags away so they can no longer hurt anyother puppy or person. you have 3 weeks before they are evicted - so SUE away!

I recently purchased a Siberian husky from possibly this breeder. I found them on a website for multiple ads regarding Siberian huskies. They were selling Siberian huskies and their location was farmingdale. I found it weird that there are absolutely no pictures of the parents. However, I dismissed it. They save on travel fees by delivering the puppies either to the house, or a public location such as a parking lot. The breeder's name was Jim, and the person I have done the emailing with for the puppie's name was Cheryl. After taking home my puppy, he came home with a contract and special instructions to take care of their puppy. Their name is now called Bright Star Siberians. They told me that they would send me the AKC paper work. It has been since June 26th, since I have got him. I emailed them and told me they will send out the papers soon and gave me his number. I checked it on AKC for the registration number and completely nothing was there. Jack also was diagnosed with Giardia and diarhea from day one of bringing him home. He has got a bit better, and he has been on medication twice. I saw on his vet papers that they only written on the contract that he was treated for panacur 2 months in a row. When I asked Cheryl about the giardia, she said that he must of contracted it from the dog park. How can that be since they always have so many litters that are being made every month or so? After researching their phone number information online, I stumbled across a profile that she have abandoned. It had her address and I typed it on white pages. Living at the address was John Steib and after typing in his name, I found these articles on him. I have done alot of research on my own, and he have signed the contract as what it looked like was Jim Stevens. He is also listed as 66, and the article was written for him when he was 61 in 2009. Now that I have information, can I do anything about my puppy? File a complaint with the aspca or akc?

I'm trying to find out if what the post of August 9th, 2013 is correct. Does anyone else have further information?

The information in the post from August 9th is correct and I just confirmed that they are still living there. Jim Stevens is one of the names John Steib uses. Please file complaints and do whatever you can to stop these people. I know that the big issue is how to place the dogs once seized. I think if enough people fight together against Overy and Steib they can be shut down and the dogs and puppies placed in homes and rescues. Anyone have new information? How is Jack? It breaks my heart to see what these dogs and their new families are going through because of these greedy, twisted individuals.

John Steib(aka Jim Stevens) and Lynn Overy(aka Cheryl) are living at 487 Wiltsieville Road, Hannial, NY [protected]. They were last operating under Bright Star Siberians and when they advertise they say the are out of Farmingdale, NJ. They tell people they will meet halfway because they don't want people to see where the dogs and puppies are kept. Must be stopped!

Gia, I will message you on inbox as I got your message.

So glad to hear that this breeder is finally getting shut down through the work of many dedicated people. We bought a Siberian Male puppy from them in the summer of 2006. I did do my homework, checked out their website and spoke with Lynn multiple times. We did not buy a puppy from a pet store or any other back yard breeder. For anyone who is feeling bad about being fooled, don't feel bad ...they were very convincing and obviously deceptive..
Our Kodi had diarrhea at first but I was able to quickly clear it up, however at age 1, he began having seizures. They are fairly well controlled now with phenobarbital but every 4-5 months, he will have one. They are terrifying to watch especially since he sometimes has cluster seizures. When I tried to call them to get advice and help, I spoke with John once and he denied that any of their dogs had seizure disorders. I asked to speak with Lynn and never got a call back. Now I know the real story ...

OMG my daughter got her Brody from Cheryl and Jim from an August litter. The morning after she picked him up in the Montvale rest station, he couldn't breathe. We had to take him to the Oradel Animal Hospital and he was in ICU for 3 days and $3, 000 later.
There was something inside us that said not to bring him back to Jim and Cheryl, we spoke to the doctors and I felt they might drown him if we returned him. We still have not received his papers and I spoke to the police officer in charge of their case in Momouth county and he said we can forget it, BUT he said the only was to shut them down is if we get together and sue. He says nobody follows through... There were a lot of people that day picking up puppies. We must all live around each other. Lets ban together and shut Jim and Cheyl down! Contact me at Huskypup822@yahoo.com and lets see what we can do to get them shut down FOREVER!

As of this week Lynn Overy and John Steib are on the run. They left my house in Hannibal, New York after 50 dogs were seized. They not only had the dogs seized, but they stole a four wheeler and basically cleaned the house out - including the hot water tank. I have been feverishly trying to get them out by contacting everyone - police, ASPCA, citizens against puppy mills, attorney general, dog warden to name a few. They may still be in New York state, but may have also booked back to New Jersey. People please beware! - John also uses the name Jim Leon and Jim Stevens. Lynn uses the name Cheryl and Renee Overy. They went under the name Northernlights siberians and Bright Star Siberians. They are in hiding for now - but their friends and relatives will be helping them to start all over again and do this to somebody's elses home and LIFE. House is destroyed. Dogs are all safe and have been rescued by the ASPCA and most of them have been adopted out (soooo glad about this - my main goal). I was also told that they monitor this site, so F*CK YOU - ### OF THE EARTH - YOU WILL GET CAUGHT - IF NOT IN THIS LIFETIME THEN IN THE NEXT. HOPE HELL TOURTURES YOU LIKE YOU TORTURED THOSE POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS. You underestimated me and NO I will not stop until your shut down permanently. PEOPLE DONT BUY PUPPIES OFF THE INTERNET - DO RESEARCH - DO BACKGROUND CHECKS - WISH I HAD.

Does anyone know Dan Amato the prosecutor from New Jersey that fined them guys in the first article a while back, his phone number? If you do, please e. mail me a message. Thanks

The breeder didn't get shut down, she asked for help in placing her dogs.. You people should really get the facts before posting! READ http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Please-Help-HEART-s-Husky-Rescue-2013.html?soid=1109815831059&aid=yRHvt8tw5O4 Some may have had giardia, Giardia is not life threatening and there are many ways for a puppy to contract it and it is also easily treated,

As for seizures Siberians are known to have them NO ONE can detect if a puppy will have them at a young age or as an adult. Cancer is also common in Golden's and Siberians unfortunately cancer can show its ugly face in animals and humans without any prior history maybe people should do their research on a breed to find out the good and bad.

Amy Waddington I didn't read any thing about animals being tortured as you so claim in all the news articles, not sure where that information came from. NEWSFLASH THEY HAVE NO MORE DOGS SO OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE SHUT DOWN!
The ugliness you wrote in your comments would make anyone question the type of person you are to voice so much hatred towards another human being. Hatred is a poison that destroys use from within, producing bitterness that eats away at our hearts and minds. This is why the Scriptures tells us not to let a “root of bitterness” spring up in our hearts.

One last thing it wasn't false pretenses they have many show dogs and did genetic testing here's proof.. once again I did my research and found this webpage

It is 2017 now...Just my opinion, but I would do a lot of research before going with a puppy from anyone! If you don't, it's your own fault. Dogs deserve MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT THESE PEOPLE DID TO THEM! I would never buy a puppy from a pet store either, who knows where they come from.
