UPDATE: 10/2/2009    from the Dobieden.  This dog remains unpaid over 3 years after being shipped to Kathleen and Kerry Gurklies of MoonDancer Dobermans in Carbon, IN.  I have followed all legal procedures and they have been presented with legal collection letters from my lawyers in North Carolina and Indiana.  Small Claims charges were filed on Sept 20, 2009 and are now going through the processes.  So whether or not they ever pay for the dog they stole, it is now a legal record of non-payment of a debt and goes against their credit.  And they think they're so smart by trying to avoid the inevitable.  When you steal something that isn't yours, you're only going to have to pay in the long run.  And since they have inconvenienced us, not only are they charged with theft, but now they are responsible for paying all the legal fees, and it's still going against their credit report.  Certainly not an example of smart in anyone else's book but their own.

UPDATE: 10/30/2009    from the Dobieden.  Kathleen and Kerry Gurklies have now been reported to several credit bureaus for unpaid debt.  This will stand as a delinquent expense until the full amount, plus interest, is paid.  It will also be reported on taxes as an uncollected debt, which will also go against their business, MoonDancer Dobermans on a Federal note until full amount is paid.  They will no longer be able to register any of their dogs until the full amount is paid.

UPDATE: 12/30/2009   from the Dobieden.  2009 is now closed and it looks like Kathleen and Kerry Gurklies are totally out of doberman breeding.  Mission accomplished.  Their credit is also destroyed because of this theft, another mission accomplished.  Their name in the AKC books is literally mud because of their dishonesty.  Guess when you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas, and when you try to cheat an honest business person out of what is rightfully theirs, the culprit is going to pay in the longrun.  The Dobieden has proven their case in the court system and has legally listed the Gurklies as thieves in two states.  It will be a long time, if ever, that they will be able to clear the stigma they have put on themselves, and even begin to clear their reputation in the world of honest dog owners.  They are certainly not members of that particular circle of life.

UPDATE: 2/4/2010   from the Dobieden.  Surprise, surprise!  Seems like Kathleen Gurklies has once again changed the name of her operation in an effort to hide from legal proceedings.  In 3.5 years, she has now changed the name of her operation four times that I personally know of.  Tell me, if you were a legitimate business person, what ever would be your purpose to continually change your business name if you were trying to build up a good reputation?  The ONLY reason I know of is if you are trying to stay on the run in front of people you had conned for one reason or another.  I understand I am one of several people who have lost material things to this woman.  So again, there is a serious BUYER BEWARE WARNING to anyone having anything to do with this individual.  Several people have lost things dealing with her in the past.  I was just one of several she thought she could use, abuse, and throw away only to move on to the next poor sap.

UPDATE: 5/29/2011  from the Dobieden  Not sure if she's changed her name in the last year or so, but the last I heard, she's going by Karma Dobermans.  Dog remains unpaid and unseen.  She's still running her mouth on DobermanTalk Forum, which makes me definitely avoid that sight.  If they believe her stories, they'll believe anything, and I want no part of anything affiliated with her contacts.  She personally, and her business, have been reported as a bad debt to IRS, so she won't be able to put anything in her name, for awhile.  It's not like she didn't bring all this on herself.

UPDATE: 7/24/2011  from the Dobieden  Dog is still listed as stolen and unpaid for almost 5 years after the dog arrived in her hands.  Lien still listed on her name and her kennel name.  I'm sure AKC is aware of the situation.  Doesn't matter, Uncle Sam is.

UPDATE: 9/18/2011  from the Dobieden  It is now just shy of 5 years since Kathleen Gurklies stole a 12 week old red female doberman puppy from us, with the agreement to return two 8 week old pups in the future.  Kathleen Gurklies still has not returned any pups to us.  Nor has she paid for the dog she took from us.  But even though she says the dog we sent is not "sound", she has bred the dog, sold the pups, and still not paid for her.  She has done NO MEDICAL TESTING on the dog to show the dog was not sound.  The pup is vWD clear from OUR testing.  Kathleen has not OFA tested the dog as she claims.  The brother of the dog she stole from us has a Rally Sport title, proving that the dog she got from the same litter, is just as sound and equal in value, proving Kathleen STOLE the dog with no intention of ever paying for her.  My mistake was to believe her story and be as gullible as I was to her lies.  Her family members have also contacted legal counsel to sue her for various forms of theft. (insurance fraud)  So it just seems like she is a bad egg from the very start, and will never change.  I'm glad any dealings I have had with her are now in the past, but I will continue to keep these pages of truth up on my site so others may be forewarned of her lies and corruption.  Seems to run in certain lines of her family also, since only her daughter seems to have anything to do with her at this point in her life.  Doberman forums online also seem to believe her lies.  But then, that's to be expected.  She hasn't screwed them yet.  She'll never make it in the real world, but seems to do just fine in her life of fantasy.
