Tammy Patriarca Mastiffs, Old English Sheepdogs WARNING

SassyZena's Mastiffs
Tammy Patriarca
Old English Sheepdogs
803-269-4777


This posting is a warning about dealing with Tammy Patriarca. She breeds Old English Sheepdogs and Mastiffs. She seems to be unstable and many people in this forum have had issues; dogs in bad health and sudden changes of heart, not going through with deals. These don't seem to point to her as a bad person, but as an unstable person who seems to be unable to care for her dogs properly.

Here are some of the posts made surrounding her posts on this forum:

I can't wait to get rid of these mindless, big klutz!

In previous post you mentioned that you "rescued" the male. Now we see that you "bought" him for $700. Not quite the same thing.

I called southeast rescue yesterday to try and find a home for my 2 sheepies. They sent someone to my home about 2:00 today. Once they left my kids started crying and was really hurting. They wasn't even gone 10 minutes before I started calling but they ignore my messages and wouldn't answer my calls. I called the director and she said she would call them to get them to bring them back. That was 8 hours ago and no one has called. I made a mistake and I want our dogs back.

She agreed to give her dogs to a couple who drove several hundreds of miles to her home, then she (and her enabling husband) refused to open the door for them.

There are many more examples of Tammy Patriarca's behavior on this place, registered under multiple names.
Rescue people who took your dogs reported that they were some of the most neglected dogs, and one required more than $1,000 in vet bills paid for by rescue.
Those were RESCUE people, used to seeing dogs in poor condition.
Even your avatar for one of your aliases here showed a disgustingly filthy dirty dog.

You are going to have legal problems if you don't remove this from your site!
Really? Why do you feel that way?

ALSO, ARE YOU SASSYOES TOO????
is this "guest" affiliated with Tammy or is Tammy?
I will donate my services as legal counsel for www.oes.org if ever needed :wink:
If you're so confident then post who was the author instead of being a coward.
We're allowed to post anonymously here, so why would the administrator go back on this privilege and give anyone their IP address? It wasn't "Ron" so how would not telling you be cowardly? Sounds like posting who it was would only benefit your itch to know ...not him.

Why don't YOU post who YOU are instead of being a coward?
She has been acused of things with no proof. Everyone believes it cause Kathy says so? Thats not right and something legally can be done.
Wow, thanks Heather.

Feel free to spend your money to have your lawyer tell you that you have no case.

Better yet, spend your money and actually go forward with a cease and desist letter which I assure you will be given due consideration, then if you're unhappy with the results, feel free to file whatever you like in South Carolina which will be given due consideration. Then feel free to file in Massachusetts where your claim will be given due consideration.

Maybe you can get your lawyer to try to file in Federal court!

In the meantime, feel free to read up about your cause of action here:

By the way Ron its illegal to post my name and number on your site without my permission. With that being said I will be calling my attorney in the morning.
It is? Wow, let me know what that law is and I'll give it due consideration.

It seems that your info was on the web on your own (now missing) website and someone just repeated it.
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... ffs.com%2F

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... ntact.html

I think Google will remove that if you know how to ask them nicely.. and you can prove you own the domain.

Oh wait, you can!
http://whois.domaintools.com/sassyzenasmastiffs.com

Let's see who else publishes your name and/or phone number...

http://www.whitepages.com/search/Replay ... findperson

OH OH! Your lawyer is gonna be busy suing all those phone directories out there!

At least they didn't publish your age and home address or anything!
http://www.phonenumber.com/search/FindP ... tate_id=SC

OOOPS! Hope you have a cheap lawyer. You've got a lot of website owners to contact!
You are Amazing!!!!! you have an attorney that works weekends?? May I have his/her number? Mine are hard enough to get in touch with during the week!!!!! BTW which court house is open on the weekends.. or did I over sleep and today is Sunday :rimshot:

:popcorn: Lmao Ron you really need to get a life. You have way too much time on your hands. Its not like I cant change my phone number or get a new website. But I'm not going to flatter you by doing that. And btw I didn't close down my web site because of you but all puppies are sold so therefore reminded me to unpublish it. I'm not running with my tail stuck between my legs cause I know the truth and thats what counts. I want to thank you cause I was a little concerned that this might hurt my business but now I'm laughing at you guys. Anyone can read between the lines and know that all this started over someone being vindictive. I'm so done here. I'm glad I could entertain you guys today.
SOOOOOOoooooo .... Does this mean I can't have the name of the weekend Lawyer?
The puppies that you sell from your "business"
are the only ones that I am concerned about :cry:

It is not that we have too much time on our
hands it is that we care about animals,
which you do not.
So, we dedicate our time to educating the public.

By the way, as I mentioned before when you talk
to your attorney, please do mention the proof
we have of you surrendering Kissy and Shaggy.
We have the vet records and pictures of the condition
Kissy was in.
The veterinarian is still willing to testify...
Kissy's owner chose to let it go since she was safe.

Also, Kissy is doing fine since you are apparently so concerned!
Tammy, you are so out of your depth here darlin'.
Maybe you should seek help of another sort. You seem a bit
angry.
I will admit, I haven't laughed like that since the last
"Walmart People" email I got. You did entertain me.

Shellie
I am the person who spent over 5 thousand dollars healing an OES that Tammy abused and neglected. I have plenty of proof of her abuse. Veterinarian statement confirming said abuse. I have also been a told by said Veterinarian, they are more than willing to testify in court to the abuse. You should be ashamed of yourself Tammy.
Thank you for caring. :hearts:
Wow that number keeps going up...
If I was you I would scan and post it here so everyone can see. Seeing is believeing. If not then shut up. So far all we have is a lot of hear say.
I shudder to think what prompted the OP.

A quick forum search for the author tammypat shows a lot of posts by someone who is especially 'caring' and informed about OES. Every single word.
Guest wrote:

I agree the cost in what is spent on a dog does go up!

I know she had to have a trainer come in due to behavior issues...
I, myself, posted the original cost when she was rescued!

If you want copies of all the bills, statements, agreements
then you would need to agree that you are the
surrendering party.(which you said you were not)
Actually, that is not even "owed" to you since you surrendered the girl!

If you want copies or statements for your attorney, please let me know
Actually, have your attorney contact me.
WOW!!! I just came in and the poison dripping from the "puppy miller's" posts is amazing. I gues that is always the case when you mess with someones $$$$$. It should be illegal for anyone to keep an animal is the condition described...oh wait, I think it is. I hope the calling of attention to her plight directs some AR group to go after her and shut her down permanantly...Michael Vick comes to mind.

Kathy isn't someone who just came in here out of nowhere. She's a valued member of this forum and the whole OES community and is well known for all of her rescue efforts. If you followed her posts over the years, you'd see that she normally goes out of the way to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and to think of the dogs first. She gives people chances that no normal person would. If she has given up on you, there is no doubt in my mind that something was very wrong.

And laugh it up all you want, because anytime anyone searches for your name or your "kennel" name, this thread will now show up in the results. People won't need any references with this conversation available.
oh yes,
visit other forums much tammy?
the posts are saved there also. i'm thinking you may have run out of forums to visit.
you running out of dogs is wth i really want to see.
Here is the post from when the family drove from VA to SC
after speaking to Tammy to get her puppy!
You can read the story first hand...
I was incorrect when I said they drove from PA, it was VA.
It was still a 16 hour day without a puppy to take home :cry:

Evil resides when good men do nothing....

It's one of my favorite quotes and you - OES family stepped up and did something..I applaud your efforts!

:ghug:

Marianne
I love ...as mentioned... that google now brings this up when you type in her name. How embarrassing for her. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Maybe she will persue legal avenues as threatened and be outed in an even more publicly shameful way. This woman should not care for a cockroach.

Thanks Jaci!
Geesh. who would have seen that coming? :evil: :evil: 8O :roll:

I think I will contact Mastiff Rescue to let them read this thread as well!

I am also trying to figure out the proper means to report her to AKC...
I have done this before and will follow up on this, I am so angry about this "person"
AKC needs a lot of info to not let dogs be registered so, I will have to put on my thinking hat!
Where in the heck did I leave that :lmt:
So does this Tammy/SassyZena breed dogs or is she a dog broker?
Seems like she never has a litter, which leads me to believe that she's a broker.
Which is no better.
She is a dog-flipper...It is so sad for the pups. It looks like she is already getting rid of her 4 Month Old, Dallas.
This is just so upsetting. My pup is just a little younger, and I couldn't imagine life without her. I could never get rid of her. This woman obviously has no heart.

So she goes around buying dogs and then tries to resell them at a higher price?
Who's selling their dogs/pups to her? Where is she getting them from?

I didn't know such a thing existed. How much money could you possibly make in a year doing this? I can't believe it's very much.
She should refocus the time & effort she puts into this endeavour into finding a real job or a better job if it's more money she is after.
The ad now has a picture of the baby and a price of $1,000... there was no price nor picture before so, Ron, you might delete the link to the sale page.

Are there specific qualities that make an OES puppy worth the asking price or is it just simply what the market will bear? If anyone even considers buying this puppy, ask lots of questions. http://untilyoufindme.com/Buying-An-Old ... -Puppy.htm Please don't go in thinking you're "rescuing" one puppy only to provide funds that will place yet another round of puppies in the same position as Dallas, Dolly and Daizy, etc. Has anyone else wondered who's been selling OESs to this person????

I've never seen a litter of OESs from this person... she advertised a litter of Mastiffs last year. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32536 There appears to be another community of dog lovers where someone with the same screen name posted with similar results in November of last year-

Done.
According to her Twitter account, she's looking to get into real estate now. Let's hope she starts flipping houses instead of flipping dogs.
I just hope someone can get that baby away from her while he still has a chance. REALLY wish the ASPCA or someone like that could get invovled in shut her down for good! :evil: :evil:
I have contacted Southern States Mastiff Rescue to give them a heads up!
I hope they SHARE widely!
She will not stop doing this until something is done!
:evil: :evil: :evil:
Thanks Ron.

In the end, dogs are just property and it's not illegal to buy/sell them. It's just been offensive hearing her loathing opinion
of the breed back in 2006 yet she continues to buy/sell them. We, as buyers, have to be sure they're not supporting or
enabling something like this or buying from breeders who do. It can be difficult determining the motives/dedication of
some breeders.

There was a sassyzena looking to transport a 10 pound OES puppy named Dallas-

What makes no sense is she sells them for the same price she pays for them!!! :roll: :roll:
So, if she is not making money what is behind this game she is playing with all these dogs
lives????
Kathy, are we really sure she is paying what she says? Given the age of some of the puppies ie: the 4 mo. old, could she be buying older puppys from pet stores, and the older dogs from classified ads and BYB?
I'm pretty sure this woman is not doing this without making a profit :twisted:

Yes, I do know for a fact this is how much she paid for the puppy :evil:
I talked to a friend of the breeder!
WHY????
This makes absolutely no sense. Why would she be doing this?
She needs to be outed on as many sights as possible. There has to be a financial benefit or she has issues that are outside my comprehension.

Hurt your business??? Are you kidding? People living the other side of the world are reading this, and precisely when did animal cruelty become a business? After reading all your posts I have to say I have never seen anyone contradict themselves so frequently or seem as uncaring and quite frankly mentally impaired. Someone being vindictive? I think not. Entertained? I surely am, but most importantly I feel informed, because of this post I for one would not touch or your "business" with a sh***y stick.

As long as the canine uneducated public believes her ads & has money to put in her pocket, she's going to keep on doing this.

That is so true . The canine uneducated is a big problem in the UK as well . At least with forums like this we can try to educate the ones that want to listen. :)
An unnamed source from the petrigon stated the Joint Chiefs of Sticks were deliberating on all options including, but not limited to, sending in Sheepie Team 6. 8)
I called my website and business Sheepie-Doodles for two reasons. First, becausing my doodles are of sheepdogs. Second, because I believe designer breeds are a terrible idea when so many dogs are homeless and I wanted to redirect anyone searching for a "Sheepadoodle". It angers me that our beloved OES are being used in this way. Hopefully I can educate anyone who asks if I breed them.

I hope this "breeder" gets caught in a big way so she can be shut down permanently.

I doubt when you started your business there was such a thing as a Sheepadoodle.

What confuses me even more is on the contract it says they go out with a limited registration :roll:
Wonder where this limited registration is registered???? :headbang: :headbang:
I think they make up their own papers like my friend has with her JRT. Sheepadoodles were around when I created my business name. I know of a breeder who was trying to get one of her puppies away from someone who planned to breed him to a Standard Poodle bitch. Thank goodness she was able to.
Well, a sad update :cry:
Chloe(kissy)) passed away last week from a stroke :cry: :cry:
she was a young girl so, this is very sad to hear :cry:
Her Mom is obviously very upset but, she was very well loved..
No way of changing the past but, she was so taken care of and missed
God Speed Chloe Bear :hearts:

We did get Dallas into rescue through a few Craigs List ads :evil:

He was sold a few times and finally ended up in rescue :clappurple:

Dallas is an awesome little guy, well pretty big but, he is a nice boy 8)

I do hope in the future she will not be allowed to put dogs in this situation:-(
He will be propely rehomed but, why should he have been in so many homes???????
Oh Kathy, so sorry to read about Chloe's passing. She had much love at life's end and was happy. She is romping and playing with my Chloe Bear at the bridge. Big hugs to her family. :ghug:

Wonderful news regarding Dallas. :banana: I know that with your guidance, he will find the forever home he deserves. :hearts:

I can't say any more than what has already been said about Tammy. :evil:
Just came across this thread. Wow.
