To admin, just delete this post if this is not related to this thread. This same topic was posted under DOG-GENERAL DISCUSSIONS with the same title. Someone suggested that i repost this topic here since this involved dog trading. this also serves as a reminder to buy dogs from reputable breeder or pet shop.
THESE ARE THE CHRONOLOGICAL EVENTS OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME WITH ANIMALS AND THINGS PET SHOP TIENDESITAS.
JAN 24
- visited tiende. Rafael of animals and things (JAY MENDOZA'S pet shop) showed me a scottish terrier. It was my first time to see that breed. nagustuhan ko sya kagad but i told him na pagiisipan ko muna. no reservation was made.
JAN 27
- nabili na yun scottish na gusto ko kila jay and wala na daw silang available puppy
JAN 29
- went to tiende. saw Rafael and told him na sayang yun puppy. after several minutes he told me to wait at may dadalhin daw na scottish sa kanila. so inisip ko galing sa ibang breeder kasi sabi wala na silang available puppy
- PCCI paper showed July 15, 2009 date of birth. so 6m/o yun puppy. i bought him for 40K and named him MR. KLYDE
AT HOME
- i noticed that his teeth are badly stained and dirty, balls are hanging low with prominent creases, there are big callouses on both his ankles. i'm still a neophyte with regards to dogs kaya di ko ma confirm kung matanda na si klyde. sinilip ko yun paper. owners name is Dorene Mendoza. wife ni jay and bakit nasabi na nila sa kin na wala na silang puppy pero biglang nagkaron.
FEB 7
- visited tiende. refael introduced me to jay mendoza (ex PBA player). di ko pa sinabi concern ko kasi di naman ako sure. jay introduced me to one of his breeder friend na may female scottish na in heat. He said to him "pare dito ka na mag pa stud". since wala naman akong experience sa breeding and stud services i said yes.
(got this photo of jay mendoza from a magazine)
FEB 10,12,13
- i asked my vet kung pwede na mag stud ang 6m/o na puppy. at least daw 8m/o. para mabigyan ng papers
- i told the breeder na dumayo pa dito sa batangas na 6m/o lang si mr klyde. he told me na sa pagkakaalam nya e si "BANJO" yun aso ko na ginagamit ni jay pang stud. natuloy stud service for 3 days. i have pics and videos of these.
- bakit ni jay pina stud kagad. sya na rin mismo nag confirm sa kin na wala ngang 6mos dog ko
- talked to my vet again. dapat nga daw wala pa usually stain ang teeth ng 6m/o kasi kapapalit lang ng permanent teeth
- talked din sa isang scottish breeder and he discussed to me what a 6m/o scottish should look like. dapat daw sabog pa balahibo. yun sa kin mahaba na at may shape na
- dumadami na evidences ko na di tlaga 6m/o si mr klyde
FEB 15
- i called rafael na hindi papers ni mr klyde yun nasa kin. hindi 6m/o puppy yun binenta nila sa kin.
- i just demanded for his real papers. yun lang hinihingi ko sa kanila. mahal ko na rin naman yun dog
- then he texted me " gudpm ser un daw pho ang papel. kng gus2 nyo pho blik nyo na aso ibabalik sanyo pho pera. yan sbe bos kpo". i called him and reacted na para na rin kayo nag confirm na fake papers nito kasi may waiver kayo na pina sign sa kin na wala na kayong responsibility after pagkabili ng dog. pero sa inis ko. pumayag na kong isauli aso. i told him na sa weekend ko pa madadala dahil nga nasa batangas ako. natapos usapan namin dun
- after several hours he texted me "ser sbe bos kpo di daw pho ngba2lik may contrata pho tyo. MAG DMANDA LNG PHO"
- i asked for jay mendoza's number and called him. he told me na "yun talaga papers. it's their words against mine. kung gusto mo mag demanda ka na lang" sabay bagsak telepono.
siguro napaisip na pag pumayag sya na isauli aso e its just confirming his guilt
(actual text messages of rafael to my phone)
FEB 16
- siguro akala nya lahat ng tao kaya nyang takutin pag nahuhuli kalokohan nya. at pagbibigyan lang sya. he even provoked me na idemanda na lang sya. sino nga ba naman ang magaaksaya ng panahon sa pag dedemanda sa aso? hindi na yun maliit na bagay na papeles pinaguusapan dito. di naman po ako breeder and di rin ako mahilig mag show at yun ibang dogs ko di ko man lang napalipat ownership sa name ko sa PCCI. kaya kung iisipin wala dapat sa kin halaga yun papers. ako po ay isang dog lover lang talaga. yun kayabangan at panloloko lang nya ang gusto ko matigil
- i called PCCI and told them my complaint. they told me to bring mr klyde on feb 28 sa dog show nila para mga judges and vets mag certify ng age nya and they adviced me to give a formal complaint letter
- consulted a lawyer and a judge. pwede ko sila kasuhan ng swindling and falsification of documents. they adviced me to start with administrative charges muna sa PCCI and Tiendesitas. i also asked them what if sabihin ni jay mendoza na hindi yun scottish terrier na pinapakita ko ang binenta nya sa kin. napakahinang defense daw yun kasi i have the documents and the dog with me and i have no other motive.
FEB 21
- i started gathering proofs and evidences
-i visited a scottish terrier breeder with a 7mos/old puppy to compare mr. klyde
di pa mahaba and sabog pa ang coat ng 7m/o. si klyde may shape na and considering na groom na sya
mr. klyde
teeth of a 7m/o puppy. wala pa dapat stains kasi kapapalit lang to permanent teeth
teeth of mr klyde
FEB 22
- went to a vet at tiende and vets in practice (mandaluyong) to get a certification of his approximate age.
- they gave me this certificate. alam na daw ng makakabasa ang ibig sabihin.
FEB 28
- vets, judges and PCCI officers examined mr klyde.
- sabi sa kin madami na daw silang natatangap na complaints kay jay mendoza. kaso ako lang nag bigay ng formal complaint letter. pag uusapan daw ng PCCI board kung ano pwede gawin. follow up ko after a week
MY FORMAL COMPLAINT LETTER SUBMITTED TO PCCI AND TIENDESITAS
February 27, 2010
PHILIPPINE CANINE CLUB, INC.
Rm. 206 Hillcrest Condominium
E. Rodriguez Sr. Blvd. cor. Hillcrest St.
Cubao, Quezon City
TIENDESITAS
Ortigas Avenue corner E. Rodriguez (C-5)
Pasig City, Metro Manila
Subject : Complaint against Animals and Things Pet Specialist,
Owned by Jay Mendoza
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir/Madam:
I wish to lodge a formal complaint against “Animals and Things Pet Specialist†(to be referred in this letter also as “Animals and Thingsâ€ÂÂ)one of the establishments located at Pet Village, Tiendesitas, purportedly owned by Jay Mendoza; and Doreen Mendoza, registered breeder of a black Scottish Terrier with PCCI Registration No. 018704.
Last January 29, 2010, I purchased a black Scottish Terrier from “Animals and Things, Pets Specialistsâ€ÂÂ. I paid P40,000.00 for what was represented to me was a 6-month old puppy. Before the purchase, I inquired from a certain Mang Rafael, who works at the said pet shop, if the dog was a puppy – a fact which he positively confirmed, and by way of further assurance, he showed me the dog’s PCCI registration papers. A copy of the PCCI registration papers is attached for your reference. As shown in the PCCI papers, the dog is 6 months old having been born on July 15, 2009 to the breeder indicated therein as a certain Dorene Mendoza.
A week later, I met Jay Mendoza, the basketball player, the owner of “Animals and Things Pet Specialistsâ€ÂÂ. In this meeting at said pet shop, I recall Mr. Mendoza recommending to somebody by the name of Jon-Jon that the latter should have stud services from the dog that I earlier bought. It struck me as strange that a 6-month puppy is ready for stud. But I let the comment pass since Mr. Mendoza could have referred to some future time when the dog is already an adult. Hence, when this person, Jon-Jon called me to arrange for stud services, I told him that the dog is just 6 months old, so he cannot viably mate. Jon-Jon replied that he knows the dog, and that his name is Banjo and he has been doing stud services for sometime already. To confirm my growing suspicions on the dog’s actual age, I agreed to the stud services. To my amazement and surprise, the dog performed like a “pro†– it was no 6-month old puppy that was represented to me by the pet shop and his PCCI papers.
I immediately called Mang Rafael about my suspicions. I told him that I don’t want to make a big issue out of this – I am a dog-lover and I would love to keep him, and that all I want is to have the correct papers. At first, he advised me that I could return the dog and they will refund the money. Subsequently, however, Mang Rafael advised me that they are revoking their earlier offer since I have signed a sale document which provided that I have no recourse against them once I take home the dog. He then added that I can just sue them if I want to!
I then called Mr. Jay Mendoza, as owner of “Animals and Things, Pet Specialistsâ€ÂÂ, to inform him that the dog is not a 6-month old puppy, as what his PCCI papers show and based on reports I have received about the dog. I reiterated the same request to be given the correct papers to reflect the dog’s true and correct age. Mr. Mendoza’s reaction took me by surprise. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience that the incident has caused me, Mr. Mendoza brusquely replied to the effect that it is his word against “themâ€ÂÂ, and he stands by the PCCI papers of the dog. He said that I can sue him if I want to, then, banged the phone on me!
As I’ve earlier stated, I love dogs. I have 4 of them, of different breeds. I only buy puppies since I believe I can train them better and the bond is stronger. Hence, when I bought this dog “a.k.a. Banjoâ€ÂÂ, who I have now named “Mr. klydeâ€ÂÂ, my expectation was that he was a puppy, as represented to me. But then, knowing later that he was an adult does not make a difference in how I treat him. All I wanted from Jay Mendoza of Animals and Things is the true and correct registration papers to reflect his true age. It is not a complicated request, and I believe there is nothing wrong with correcting a mistake to prevent it from being further perpetrated. If there was an error, I had no intention of making a big thing out of it. I love the dog, and I don’t mind its papers being corrected. But I could not understand the reaction of Jay Mendoza of Animals and Things.
My complaint is therefore not as much as I bought a 6-month old puppy that turned out to be an adult dog - already doing stud services. For that matter, the aspect of misrepresentation or fraud is something that I have to consult my lawyer, as Jay Mendoza suggests. Of equal importance is the manner with which said person acted or conducted himself given my honest and sincere effort to resolve the situation.
If Jay Mendoza of Animals and Things stands by the dog’s real age as reflected on the PCCI papers, why does he have to react the way he did? Have I accidentally stumbled on something odious that so evoked this kind of reaction? Was I the first to experience this with Animals and Things or with Jay Mendoza? Even if I was the first, I do not deserve the treatment that I got! With or without sale documents, Jay Mendoza of Animals and Things must deal with his customers in all honesty and candor. Dogs are pets – not goods and things where sellers can claim “buyers bewareâ€ÂÂ.
May I therefore request Tiendesitas Management and PCCI to seriously look into and investigate the matter. For Tiendesitas, I believe that the continued patronage by animal lovers of this place, as shown by the numerous dog shows that are being held there, and the presence of a number of pet shops in that complex, is foremost among its goals. Among the reasons people flock to Tiendesitas is to buy their pets from the number of pet shops operating in said establishment. Hence, I believe it is to the best interest of Tiendesitas Management that its customers continue to be satisfied and delighted by its tenants – tenants who are reputable, honest and courteous to their customers and clients. I hope my experience with Jay Mendoza of Animals and Things Pet Specialist would be the last, and it will not be repeated to other customers and clients of said shop or any other shop at Tiendesitas.
Likewise, I am sure that PCCI shares my belief that its continued success rests on the integrity, accuracy and credibility of its records. Hence, it should be always remain vigilant and would do everything within its means to preserve its name and reputation as the foremost and recognized canine registration body for the Philippines. For that matter, if the PCCI records on this dog can still be corrected, it is my sincere request that it should be done so to avoid any further misrepresentation of his true age. I have obtained certifications from qualified and competent veterinarians as to true and correct age of the dog as of this time, which I am also submitting together with this letter.
I thank you in advance for your assistance and for whatever action on this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dino G. Pastor

THE SAME DAY FEB 28
- submitted the letter to tiendesitas admin
- saw jay mendoza accidentally at his pet shop. i confronted him and told him na na confirm na sa PCCI na di 6m/o yun scottish at may letter na ko sa PCCI and Tiende. Ang sabi lang nya " kabadingan ginagawa ko at mag kita na lang kami sa korte"
AFTER A WEEK
- called PCCI. they told me na dapat papatawag nila si jay mendoza to hear his side. and give him sanction if proven guilty. kaso bago pa lang sya patawag. Jay Mendoza submitted a letter of membership withdrawal sa PCCI. so nakahanap sya ng lusot bago mapahiya sa PCCI. So kayo na po bahala mag isip kung bakit nya ginawa yun. At present Jay Mendoza is not a member of PCCI. Di na sya pwede mag register ng mga aso nya dun. They told me na si Dorene Mendoza his wife na nakapangalan as breeder ng scottish ko ang papatawag nila.
Madami na po akong mga nakausap na vets, dog lovers and breeders na ang dami nilang natatangap na reklamo kay Jay Mendoza. Di ko na po sinulat dito para pabayaan ko na lang sila mag post. Hindi po ako isolated case. PCCI is very cooperative and fair sa pag handle ng complaint ko. Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong natatangap na feedback sa Tiende. sa tingin ko po e kailangan pang madaming mag complaint sa tiende para pansinin ang reklamo ko at ma decisionan nila kung anong pwedeng nilang gawin sa ANIMALS AND THINGS pet shop.
CALLING ALL PET LOVERS PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS FIGHT.
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH JAY MENDOZA/DORENE MENDOZA/ANIMALS AND THINGS PET SHOP. PLEASE SUBMIT A PERSONAL COMPLAINT LETTER TO PCCI AND TIENDESITAS MANAGEMENT.
IT WILL REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE KUNG MADAMI AND SABAY SABAY ANG MAG COMPLAIN
PLEASE CONTACT ME AT 0917-504-0224
