Lifeslemons, you are so right about people sticking to their guns. She has already scared one person off that I know of. While I don't blame that person as they don't want to be faced with legal costs to defend what they say is the truth as THEY experienced it, the fact is that scaring people off their positions doesn't make the one doing the scaring RIGHT. It just makes that person the better bully.

I would also add to your list that maybe people need to see if there is an investigative reporter in the area. Let THEM check it out and see what THEY find as well, and then report it for the entire area to hear if they find what some of you are finding. Evil only flourishes in the dark. It's time to "flush" it out and make it known so that people won't be duped into buying a sub-par puppy.

Though the opinions and input of everyone are appreciated, emotions run high when it comes to the rights of animals, especially those that are kept in the manner that Holly Anderson is keeping them. It appears that Holly is now making fake screen names and posting things that will stir an angry response from people and then going back in to delete the post. I believe she is doing this to make the board look like a group of raving maniacs and diminish the value information posted by previous employees and buyers, and deter readers away from the facts that were verified by the State of Rhode Island officials. It’s appears to be yet another view into the corrupt mind of a very disturbed individual. We need to stick to the facts at hand for people visiting this forum and post our new findings here too.

For anyone visiting for the first time, take the time to read through past posts and draw your own conclusions.
The information below is verified about Royal Flush Havanese is summed as follows.

+ Royal Flush Havanese is owned by Holly Anderson Mastroianni.
It is a corporation and commercial kennel that is operated at 95 Old Coach Rd, Charlestown, RI 02813.
http://ucc.state.ri.us/CorpSearch/CorpSearchSummary.asp?ReadFromDB=True&FEIN=000138245

+ She applied for a commercial kennel license with the Town of Charlestown, even though she didn’t fulfill the basic requirements for one, including but not limited to a substantially insufficient amount of land that is normally required:
http://sos.ri.gov/documents/publicinfo/omdocs/notices/3983/2011/104015.pdf

+ 1/25/2006 she took out a loan through her Royal Flush Corporation as a testing laboratory with Citizens Bank:
http://www.loansenseplus.com/business/loans/charlestown_ri_02813.asp?spg=6

+ It was verified through the State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management Animal Unit and other animal rights inspectors, that she owns in excess of 50 dogs which she raises in stainless steel enclosures/crates in a small room in her home. It is under these circumstances that she distorts the horrible reality of their lives by saying “Home Raised” and “No Kennels”. Holly does not allow visitors to see all of her dogs. She meets buyers in a concrete room to hide the reality of what is really going on in other parts of her home. You can contact DEM 401.222.2718 and RISPCA 401.438.8150 to confirm.
Excerpt from an email from an official: “I responded there a little over a week ago and was accompanied by the State Animal Health Inspector”, “we observed approximately 50 dogs in stainless steel enclosures”, “ The dogs were clean and all appeared healthy. The facility was clean and sanitary. According to the State, she was no in violation of any licensing/breeding regulations“

+ Holly has debarked all of these dogs. Once can assume it is so that they are not a nuisance to her or her neighbors. It would be why buyers cannot hear the dozens upon dozens of dogs that she is housing in the other area of her home when they visit her. She has vet photos shown on her site. Try contacting them for information.

+ She was not shut down because the groups hands are tied. It is the best of a worst situation for them. When asked about these mill-like set ups we were told by these groups that the current laws are “too antiquated” to deal with this type of situation but we are all working for change.

+ These dogs spend their lives in steel cages or in a small outdoor concrete pen area that you can see for yourself through Google or Bing imaging of her address. Click the link below to see the back of her home and this pen area.
http://binged.it/ypzZVy

+ When she has bred them until they can no longer produce, she dumps them on Craigslist “Community”. Craigslist is also an outlet where she posts help wanted ads to get people to socialize for or care for them. She has admitted to this in her previous posts here too. She allows strangers to walk through her home and around her dogs but won’t allow visitors there for “fear of contamination” or infection.

+ As of today there are 10 dogs for sale on her puppies page. This is a pattern thanks to the dozens of dogs.

+ Holly has spent many years dabbling with various breeds of dogs and cats for profits sake only. To date, we have uncovered web pages for Presa Canarios, Cheetoh Cats, Savannah Cats, Havanese, and Bichons. Past buyers have mentioned other breeds and we are working to verify this information. You may have purchased an animal from her and we would like to hear from you. Please post your comments here and let us know what you type of animal you purchased and when you purchased.

+ She has threatened other websites with a history of complaints from owners and workers to remove comments or face legal action. We are still here and we are NOT going away until we get justice for those dogs.

+ She still has a lot of previous buyers fooled and is fooling new people every week. It is our mission to get the truth out to stop what she is doing and bring to light the reality of what is behind her very closed doors.

+ Ms. Anderson has even gone as far to recently claim that she has rescued a purebred dog of substantial value. She is confirmed to be in excess of 50 dogs already, she is rescuing other breeds? What person that has the compassion to rescue a dog from one breed would be comfortable vocally mutilating and caging other dogs of a different breed? And taking out testing laboratory loans too? This is particularly insulting to those of us who donate our time, money and efforts to true rescue cases much in part due people like her. And since there no citations issues at these inspections, where does it go from here? Although her attempts to donate to human causes are touted all over her website since March, 2011 there is not one single donation made to the very source of her income. Considering all factors we believe these efforts (being followed through or not) are new endeavors that are disgusting attempts to polish her tarnished image.

Below is a link to a website that records the history of all websites, even deleted ones:

Presa Canarios: Rocco (mentioned by previous poster) is shown on these pages as a dog she was breeding.

Exotic Animals/Cats:
www.riroyalflush.com/cheetohs.html
There are two email addresses here. An email for Cheetoh Cats and one for Savannah Cats?

www.riroyalflush.com/cubsavailable
Cubs: She is getting out of breeding program and dumping these poor cats. This is from 2008.

www.riroyalflush.com/bichons
One of the current breeds she is still working with. These would make up part of the 50 dogs on site now.

www.riroyalflush.com/havanesepuppiesforsale.html
The bulk of the 50 dogs that were present and on site during state inspections.

And our favorite – a page on her site with the word “complaints” to try to steer people from the truth:
http://riroyalflush.com/RoyalFlushHavaneseComplaints.html

She has several other websites in her history and we contacted the current phone numbers on those sites and asked for Holly. Apparently she was breeding Retrievers and Spaniels up until 9 years ago. Both responded by saying that they purchased the business from her but had no affiliation with her and did not elaborate any further.

We have received several emails from people that claim to have purchased three other breeds from her. We have to confirm but we are working on it. Consider this another victory for the rights of animals that are owned by unscrupulous people. This is a self-proclaimed “EXPERT” for Havanese. She has not been breeding Havanese for 30 years. She has spent the last eleven years (confirmed) breeding Bichons, Havanese, Retreivers, Spaniels, Cheetoh Cats, Savannah Cats, Presa Canarios and a three others that we are continuing to research. 30 years experience as a Havanese expert? 30 years in dog years? She seems to be a confirmed expert in twisting the truth.

Holly is now claiming that she has “rescued” a very rare and expensive Vizsla dog. Though this is a stretch, the question is why would you “rescue” Vizslas when you’re a Havanese “expert” and have 50 debarked Havanese and Bichons locked in cages in your home? Really think about how little sense this makes. The 50+ debarked dogs that are locked in cages in her home are a fact that was confirmed by state investigators. It is very clear that she is trying to once again steer people from the facts at hand and polish her image online as someone that cares about dogs. It’s funny that she loves the Havanese so much that she doesn’t offer breed rescue. Perhaps if you have a rescue case you should contact her. It’s crystal clear that this is a bogus attempt to look like a compassionate animal lover and it is a slap in the face to the people who really care about and donate love, time and money to animals in need.

Please write your lawmakers and push the State of Rhode Island for changes to their current animal legislation. We have a list of lawmakers that we are currently working with the implement change but all of their email addresses are listed at the links below:

http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Email/SenEmailListDistrict.asp
http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Email/RepEmailListDistrict.asp

The bills for this year have already been submitted but we intend to continue efforts through 2013 to see that appropriate bills are introduced and new laws are passed that will shut the doors of her operations and others like her. If the town of Charlestown is going to play fast and loose with “unlimited” dog ownership, then the State of Rhode Island needs to step in and stop them. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCISE FOR HOUSING OVER 50 DEBARKED DOGS FOR THE PURPOSE OF BREEDING, EXCEPT GREED. For every day that passes, dogs are trapped at her home and other places just like it living a life confined and not loved. They are a commodity with a monetary value. Please do your part too and help save dogs trapped in mill settings like this.

Holly, we are not “competitors” and this has never been a personal attack as you claimed with faked vehemence in your posts that respond to these accusations here and in your Yahoo and Google business profiles. You can continue your efforts to polish your image but you’re putting a bow on a turd. This has never been about you and ALWAYS been about the animals, the way you treat them and the lies you’ve been telling to present as someone who cares and operates in an ethical fashion. The truth is going to get out and we will fight until our dying breath to get you and organizations like you shut down. You’ve responded to select comments here and ignore the questions and comments that speak the truth and matter most. You encouraged people to call and verify findings and we did. You may not have gotten a citation but that is because the laws were not written to deal with a situation like this, yet. No matter how you justify this to yourself or try to justify it to others it doesn’t wash. YOU OWN OVER 50 DEBARKED DOGS THAT YOU KEEP IN STEEL CAGES. Not kennels, right? A kennel is an outdoor enclosure. You just keep them indoors in steel cages and let them defecate in a kennel with a concrete slab. WE HAVE VERIFIED THIS WITH THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND OFFICIALS AS YOU DESPERATELY ENCOURAGED US TO DO. You know that everything posted here is the truth. You're a sick, degenerate liar. A full investigation of your property would reveal dozens of DEAD DOGS buried by YOU, most due to your neglect! You can twist the truth every day but one day you will be accountable to the law and more importantly, your maker. If you think that there will not be judgment for what you’re doing and the lies you’re telling, you’re kidding yourself.

I'd like to start by saying I have personally been inside the home and "kennel room" of royal flush kennels, the rooms are two small converted bed rooms off of the main living area of the house. They are vented by two small bathroom fans which run continous and have minimal lighting or outdoor views. At one point the woman was breeding cats known as cheethoes in one room and dogs in the other. Feline and canine in the same inviroment? Using the same outdoor area? Healthy??? I am not a vet but I don't think so. She has a small" GREETING ROOM" in the basement of the house which is set up a lot like a commercial pet store glass window into a room with a welping box. Potential customers are greeted there and puppies are brought into the room for them to chose from. The puppies are in general poor condition they are left matted and dirty some with infections in eyes and ears until they reach the proper age to sell. Only at this time are they washed and groomed to APPEAR like they are cared for and those are the lucky ones. I have witnessed sickly animals, potential sickness carriers placed in cages with other animals at one point I questioned her about it and the response was if they make it they make it, it's to expensive to get them treatment from a vet and it would eat into the profit margin. I know of two welping mothers that had died from dehydration because she was on vacation and the PART TIME HELP, really just local college kids she hires for 10 bucks an hr under the table, didn't show up and animals where left unattended for 24hrs or more. It's sad to see how many breeds she has been through. She tends to pick the popular breeds at the time. At one point she purchased several pressacanario females with the intention of breeding them, had them all de barked and chained them up in the old horse coral there, when neighbors started to get upset with this she gave the animals away figuring the POCKET PUPPIES where the best to stay with, easy to hide and eat very little. Just sad that she is still in business, this modern day cruella deville needs to be locked up for this. For those of you saying awww leave her alone she is not hurting anyone, how about the child who gets his first puppy only to have his heart broken when it's one of the unfortunate ones that Is sickly and ends up expiring? How do you fix his broken heart ? Or the person who buys one that needs 1000s of dollars in vet attention and holly bold face lies and says it is not her fault or responsibility? Does anyone have a copy of her warranty for her pups? I bet seeing she is such a wizard of words the only way you get a new pup from her is if the one you bought dies within 50 ft of u picking it up. Once again I think she needs to be addressed on all sides, I'd contact the ri dept of labor and training and see if this woman has employees and workmans comp for them, god forbid someone gets bit or rabies. I'd also call the IRS. I'm sure they would love to know what her true income is which they can verify many many ways. I'd also call PETA maybe set up a protest in front of her premesis AND MAKE SURE ALL THE LOCAL TOWN OFFICIALS are aware of it. The town of Charlestown is a close knit community and this would be a black eye if this got national publicity like mike Vic. Just keep at it and I'm sure we are not all wrong. On this note just remember WE CAN ALL EAT AN ELEPHANT, , , , , ONE BITE AT A TIME! Ps don't let the threats of suit and court back you off people in her position will try any tatic to hide the truth

How about you quit telling people what they should be spending their time doing? If you don't like what's being said, you can move your happy ass along.

Holly, you need to learn the law if you're going to threaten "defamation" and the law.

First and foremost, the primary defense to any form of defamation is truth. Barring that, OPINION is not actionable. You sound like a piece of work there who doesn't have a leg to stand on, so you threaten in order to shut people up. If even HALF of what they say about you is true, I hope they shut you down and lock you up. Now... come and get me. :)

Got your IMPRESSIVE results.

"We observed approximately 50 dogs in stainless steel enclosures"
50 (clean) DEBARKED dogs raised in stainless steel enclosures.
And this is what you are so proud of?

You are proud of the fact that you were not violated or cited for keeping 50 DEBARKED DOGS (whose vocal chords have been mutilated by you to keep them quiet) in your non-kennel (STAINLESS STEEL ENCLOSURES) breeding facility. So basically, the very first review here GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED the NUMBER OF DOGS YOU REALLY HAVE.

WHAT DOES THIS SAY? IT SAYS THAT THE LAWS IN RHODE ISLAND MUST CHANGE IF THIS IS "IMPRESSIVE" AND ACCEPTABLE IN THAT STATE! I AM GOING TO WRITE TO EVERY LAWMAKER TO SEE THAT IT DOES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MID WEST PUPPY MILL SET UP. IT IS A FAR CRY FROM THE HOME RAISED NONSENSE THAT SHE BOASTS ABOUT ON THE SITE BUT THEN, IT APPEARS SHE LOVES A GOOD TECHNICALITY TO FALL BACK ON TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK NORMAL.

YOU OWN 50 DEBARKED DOGS, YOU KEEP THEM IN STAINLESS STEEL CAGES AND YOU BREED THEM UNTIL THEY ARE OF NO VALUE AND DUMP THEM ON CRAIGSLIST. THIS IS ALL TRUE. SO GO GET YOUR TEAM OF LAWYERS AND LET THEM KNOW TOO.

By the way, thanks for telling us to verify it. You creep.

HELLO ROYAL FLUSH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO POST YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY HERE. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THESE THINGS BEING MALICIOUS IF THEY ARE ALL LIES AND IT IS GOOD THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO RESPOND TO HELP CLEAR EVERYTHING UP.

YOU SAID YOU CAN PROVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT YOURSELF IS TRUE AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO PRESENT THE LIES THAT WERE TOLD ABOUT YOU AND GIVE THE TRUTH TO VERIFY BUT YOU ONLY MENTIONED FOUR OF THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE POSTED ABOUT YOU. WERE THOSE THE ONLY LIES? WAS THE OTHER STUFF TRUE? JUDGING FROM YOUR RESPONSE IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY OPERATING A KENNEL WHICH YOU HAVE INVITED US TO VERIFY, BUT I THINK THE CONCERNS EVERYONE HAS ARE ABOUT THE WAY THE DOGS ARE RAISED AND TREATED AND THE WAY YOU HANDLE THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THE PUPPIES. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING TO PET BUYERS AND DOG LOVERS ALIKE AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW. I AM SURE THE OTHER READERS HERE ARE MOST INTERESTED IN THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE POSTED THAT YOU HAVEN’T COMMENTED ON YET. IF YOU’D ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW IT WILL HELP PUT ALL OF THESE CONCERNS TO REST:

HOW DO WE VERIFY WHAT YOU POSTED?

YOU SAID WE CAN VERIFY THE SURPRISE INSPECTIONS AND THE FINDINGS. HOW DO WE VERIFY? DO WE CALL THE NUMBERS TO THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO VERIFY WHAT HAPPENED? IS THERE ANY PERSON THAT WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING TO AT EACH OFFICE? IT IS GREAT THAT YOU HAD AN IMPRESSIVE INSPECTION AND I KNOW THAT THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. YOU SAY ON YOUR SITE THAT NO ETHICAL BREEDER WOULD EVER SELL TO A PET STORE OR 3RD PARTY AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ETHICAL BREEDER IS NOT OPERATING LIKE ONE EITHER. PET STORES ARE SO COMMERCIAL AND HAVE SUCH A COLD APPROACH ABOUT PLACING PUPPIES. I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THAT DOGS ARE NOT LOVED BY THEM. THEY ARE JUST A COMMODITY THAT PEOPLE SELL TO MAKE PROFIT FROM.

WHY WERE THERE VISITS ON SEPARATE DAYS?

IF THE ASPCA AND DEM CAME TO YOUR HOME ON FEBRUARY 14TH, WHY DID THE DOG OFFICER AND TOWN OFFICIALS GO OUT AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER? I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG AND LOOK FORWARD YOUR RESPONSE. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WERE NO ISSUES IT SEEMS WEIRD THAT PEOPLE WOULD KEEP GOING OUT THERE.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LICENSED AND WHAT KIND OF LICENSE IS IT? WHO ISSUED THE LICENSE(S)?

YOU SAID YOU HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE TO OPERATE A KENNEL AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO BREED DOGS. I SAW THE POSTS FOR YOUR CORPORATE LICENSE AND THE MOTION TO FILE FOR A COMMERICIAL KENNEL LICENSE IN YOUR TOWN LAST YEAR. WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF YOUR LICENSE AND WHERE COULD SOMEONE SEE A COPY OF IT SO WE CAN BE SURE IT IS VALID? HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS LICENSE FOR BREEDING DOGS? HAVE YOU HAD THE LICENSE FOR 30 YEARS BECAUSE THAT DOES SEEM CONFUSING ABOUT THE COMMERICIAL KENNEL PAPERWORK FROM LAST YEAR. WAS THAT A RENEWAL OR ORIGINAL REQUEST? IS THIS A NEW RULE IN YOUR TOWN OR STATE? I AM NOT BASHING OR ANYTHING, I JUST WANT TO VERIFY LIKE YOU SAID TO. I AM JUST NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT.

DID YOU ACTUALLY TAKE OUT A LOAN AS A TESTING LABORATORY?
IF SO, ARE YOU TESTING ON ANY OF THE ANIMALS? IF NOT, WHY DID YOU TAKE IT OUT?

HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU OWN? WHERE AND HOW DO THEY LIVE?

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ACCUSATIONS THAT YOU OWN OVER 40 DOGS AND HAVE 20-30 PUPPIES A MONTH, THERE ARE 11 PUPPIES FOR SALE ON YOUR WEB PAGE RIGHT NOW. HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU OWN? HOW MANY DOGS ARE IN YOUR HOME AND HOW MANY PUPPIES DO YOU HAVE EVERY YEAR? WHERE CAN WE VERIFY THIS? YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE KENNELS AND THE DOGS ARE KEPT INSIDE YOUR HOME. YOU HAVE A LOT OF DOGS POSTED ON YOUR PAGE AND ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PUPPIES ON YOUR PUPPIES PAGE. HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU ACTUALLY OWN THAT ARE KEPT IN YOUR HOME? WHERE DO YOU KEEP THEM ALL? YOU KEEP USING THE WORD KENNEL AND SAID THEY ARE NOT IN KENNELS AND PROVIDED THE DEFINITION OF A KENNEL BUT THE ORIGINAL POSTS SAID THAT THEY ARE STACKED IN CRATES IN A ROOM IN YOUR HOME? IS THIS TRUE? ARE THEY CONFINED AND IS THIS SIMPLY SPLITTING HAIRS OVER THE WAY KENNEL WAS WORDED OR DO THEY ALL JUST ROAM AROUND YOUR HOUSE? WHERE DO YOUR DOGS GO OUTSIDE? IS THAT REALLY A PHOTO OF THE PEN ON THE LINK TO THE BING MAPS PAGE? IT DOES APPEAR TO BE YOUR HOUSE. DO THEY ONLY GO IN THE PEN YOU HAVE THE HELP WANTED ADS FOR OR DO THEY ROAM AROUND YOUR YARD TOO? YOU HAVE SUCH A LARGE BEAUTIUL PROPERTY AND ANY DOG WOULD BE LUCKY TO RUN AROUND A YARD LIKE THAT. IS THERE FENCING THAT WE DON’T SEE IN THAT PHOTO? IS IT AN OLD PHOTO? I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT MANY DOGS RUNNING LOOSE AROUND MY HOUSE. HOW DO MANAGE IT? DO YOU CRATE TRAIN THEM?

CAN SOMEONE BUYING A DOG SEE THE DOGS IN YOUR HOME AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY ARE RAISED?

THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS FROM PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE DOGS IN YOUR HOME AND THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN A CONCRETE ROOM. IS THIS TRUE? IF IT IS, THEN WHY? YOU WOULD THINK IF SOMEONE CAN COME TO BUY A PUPPY THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF YOUR DOGS? ANY TIME I HAVE PURCHASED A PUPPY THE BREEDER LET ME INTO THEIR HOME.

WHY DO YOU HAVE HELP WANTED ADS FOR YOUR HOME RAISED PUPPIES AND PETS?

IF THEY ARE RAISED BY YOU IN YOUR HOME THEN WHY DO YOU HIRE OUTSIDE HELP ON CRAIGSLIST? I GUESS THIS GOES BACK TO HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU HAVE. PET STORES GET INSPECTIONS ALL THE TIME AND SO DO THE COMMERCIAL KENNELS THAT THEY COME FROM. IT IS NICE THAT YOU CONSIDER THE CANNED GOOD DONATIONS BUT THE SUV ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH THE HAVANESE COMPANY NAME ALL OVER IT DOESN’T REALLY LOOK LIKE A HOME RAISED SITUATION EITHER. IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS TYPE OF THING. I THINK THE ISSUE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING IS THAT YOUR SITE APPEARS THAT YOU ARE LOVINGLY HOME RAISING THE DOGS AND AFTER READING THESE POSTS IT WOULD APPEAR THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF DOGS AND OPERATE A BIG KENNEL FOR PROFIT SITUATION.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BREEDING HAVANESE?

YOU SAY ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BREEDING FOR 30 YEARS AND YOU ARE A HAVANESE EXPERT. HAVE YOU BEEN BREEDING HAVANESE FOR 30 YEARS? HOW TO YOU DEFINE HAVANESE EXPERT? WAS THIS TITLE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE AKC OR BREED GROUP? IF SO, WHICH ONE? WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO GET THAT? I JUST WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT ON ANYONES SITE BEFORE AND IT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

WHAT ARE YOU BREEDING RIGHT NOW? WHAT OTHER BREEDS HAVE YOU BRED?

I NOTICED THE POST ABOUT ROCCEO THE PRESA CANARIO AND SAW THE LINK FOR YOUR ADD TO PLACE HIM. WHERE YOU BREEDING THOSE DOGS? ARE YOU STILL BREEDING THE OTHER BREEDS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE OTHER COMPLAINTS? AND THE CATS TOO? I SAW THE DOG VITO IN THE HAVANESE BEDS, WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT? DO YOU BREED THOSE TOO? WHAT TYPE OF ANIMALS AND BREEDS HAVE YOU OWNED AND/OR BRED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS? WHAT TYPES DO YOU OWN NOW? WHICH ARE YOU BREEDING RIGHT NOW?

ARE ALL OF YOUR DOGS REGISTERED WITH THE AKC? DO YOU REGISTER THE LITTERS TOO?

YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR POST IN JANUARY THAT ALL OF YOUR DOGS ARE REGISTERED WITH THE AKC BUT THIS WEEKS POST SAID THAT YOU HAVE DOGS REGISTERED WITH THE AKC. ARE ALL OF THE DOGS REGISTERED WITH THE AKC? WHEN WERE THEY ALL REGISTERED? HOW OLD ARE THEY? DO YOU REGISTER ALL OF YOUR LITTERS? IF NOT, WHY NOT? DO YOU GIVE AKC PAPERS TO PEOPLE THAT BUY FROM YOU? SOMEONE SAID YOU DID NOT GIVE THEM PAPERS AND THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE PAPERS. DO YOU PROVIDE A COPY OF THE MOTHER AND FATHER’S PAPERS? ARE YOUR DOGS DNA CHECKED? SINCE YOU TOOK THE TIME TO POST EACH PHOTO, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO ADD THEIR AKC NUMBER (OR AT LEAST THE AKC REGISTERED NAME) BELOW EACH PHOTO? THIS WOULD HELP THIS WHOLE STORY BE MORE BELIEVABLE AND PUT TO REST THE ISSUE WITH AKC DOGS BEING REGISTERED AND IN GOOD STANDING.

DO YOU PROVIDE COPIES OF HEALTH TESTS FOR BUYERS?

YOU SAID IN YOUR POST IN JANUARY THAT ALL DOGS ARE HEALTH TESTED OR THEY ARE NOT BRED. A LOT OF POSTERS ONLINE WERE COMPLAINING THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE THEM THIS INFORMATION. YOU ALSO SAID ALL OF THE DOGS ARE VACCINATED. THE RECENT POST FROM CONNECTICUT SAID THAT YOU DID NOT GIVE HER ANY VACCINATION HISTORY AND THAT HER DOG DID NOT SEE A VET AND IT IS SEVEN MONTHS OLD? HOW TO YOU PROVIDE VACCINATION HISTORY TO BUYERS? WHAT VET DOES YOUR VACCINATIONS FOR YOU? CAN WE VERIFY THIS WITH YOUR VET?

DO YOU DEBARK YOUR DOGS?
IF SO, WHY? IT DOES SEEM LIKE A TERRIBLE LIE FOR SOMEONE TO PUT OUT THERE AND FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ IT IS NOT AN ETHICAL PRACTICE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NECESSARY IF YOU DO DEBARK THEM AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO EXPLAIN THAT FURTHER.

YOU HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH YOUR RESPONSES AND THEY ARE APPRECIATED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I THINK THE READERS HERE ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS THAT WERE MADE AND THE QUESTIONS THAT I POSTED ABOVE. I AM SURE I CAN SPEAK FOR EVERYONE HERE THAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING YOUR SIDE OF THEM TO END ALL OF THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR ALL OF YOUR CONSCIENCIOUS RESPONSES TO HELP US ALL UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES OF THESE POSTINGS TO MAKE SENSE OF EVERYTHING.

Royal Flush Havanese has been breeding gorgeous, well socialized pups for many years. I am Holly Anderson (maiden) Mastroianni, very proud owner of Royal Flush Havanese. I’m extremely grateful to the people who have sought out to destroy my reputation because what you have done is make it perfectly clear that I am a conscientious, ethical, dedicated breeder who provides quality care to her dogs and pups. I am also eternally grateful to all of you who have 1, 2 or 3 pups from Royal Flush Havanese and continue to write to me and send pictures of your pup/pups. Every testimonial and picture is exactly as it has been sent to me to post and share with the visitors to our website. Thank you for your memories, gratitude, recommendations and referrals. I have been maliciously attacked by a couple of people and I’ve seen concerned pet lovers be drawn into sympathizing with the lies that have been frantically posted everywhere these people could find a place to write. I can prove that everything I have every written, said or represented about myself and Royal Flush has been true. In the following, I will present you with the lies that have been told and the truth that you can verify.
Someone says I have no right to have a kennel on my property. To breed dogs you must have a business license to operate a kennel. You can verify that I DO have a business license to operate a kennel (an establishment where dogs are bred) on my property. I do not have kennels (kennel-a small shelter for a dog). My dogs are kept inside my home. Someone suggests that everyone should call and report me to the RISPCA Animal Cruelty Department, the RIDEM Division of Agriculture Animal Health Unit, The Charlestown Animal Control Officer and the Town Zoning Department. Many thanks to those who called the officials. On 2/14/12 at 9AM the RISPCA and DEM arrived at my doorstep for a surprise inspection to investigate the complaints and accusations. The truth is that they were “impressed”. There were no violations or concerns at all. On 2/16/12 at 11 AM the Animal Control Officer and the Building Official arrived for inspections as well. Again, the truth is there were no violations, concerns or issues.
Someone says they contacted the AKC and “she is not registered nor are any of her dogs.” The truth is that people are not registered with the AKC, dogs are. The truth is that if you call the AKC and ask if Holly Anderson (maiden) or Holly Mastroianni has dogs registered with AKC they will tell you yes. And if you ask them if I am in good standing with the AKC, they will tell you yes.

In case if a court defines that a consumer complaint constitutes libel or defamation, the mentioned consumer would be held legally responsible for damages to the reputation of the business, mentioned in complaint. Under federal law (the Communications Decency Act) ComplaintsBoard.com is not legally responsible for the complaints that are posted, even if those complaints contain remarks that are defamatory. However, the mentioned law does not protect the person who posted the complaints from the responsibility for the posted complaints.
