Great find and thanks for sharing with others also. Fond lots of other links while watching the shared link so will watch after this post.
Basenji Google Ad

This has been on there with that ad since last fall. Usually you will speak with man named Frank. Do not ask me how but from what I found last fall this goes back to the breeder dogs in New Mexico. Not her but beleive it might be one of her dog's that she had sold Jeannie and I talked about this ad in the fall. As far as pictures I did not know who's pictures they were.

This is the first time I saw the ad, and I was rather appalled, so I decided to say something here. Lack of oil glands? ugh, my head exploded. I didn't even know they were stolen pictures.
I was thinking puppymill, and I have my doubts that they do any of the testing they claim to do, but I did find it interesting that we have gotten the message across about testing to the point that the puppymills are claiming to test! That was my other point in my original message. I probably should have made that more clear.
I hope the people whose pictures he stole are able to go after him!

Did you talk about that ad here on the forums? I would love to see it, and see what you guys found out. I searched "google" "google ad" and "mybasenjidogs" and can't find the thread.
@AJs:
I have one of those new Droid phones. With it, I can look up the address attached to the domain name. Additionally, I can see a satellite image of the exact location.
Belinda,
What app is that? I have a G1, not a Droid, but they both run Android, so I wonder if I could do that on my G1?-Nicole

No not here on the forum Jeannie and I had been talking e-mail when I found the ad and we talked about it. I do not know if I still have email from the ad or not. I thought it was a bad ad so answered it with another name and email he got back to me even talked with him and found name he was using for female and male. Like I said that was early last fall. The ad went away for a few weeks then it came back. I do hope he get's into trouble for using other people pictures that is incorrect.

Belinda,

It's the embedded maps app that's preloaded on my phone. Open the menu when your map is open, go to layers and tap on satellite. It'll be handy to see whether there is parking at my destinations. It's actually kind of cool…it has me pinpointed almost to the room I'm staying in at this motel.

Sweet! It works.

This is awful!

I think I recognize the dog in the tree as a photo I saw posted here a couple months ago. This guy needs a closer look. Do we have anyone in the Rotterdam, NY area who would feel comfortable enough to cruise by and see what's up and whether they even have any dogs?
None of the outdoor photos of the dogs look like what I saw in the satellite image I looked at earlier.
-
I am 99% sure that the pic of the puppy head shot, Tri coloured dog is taken off an Australian site as well…
Im off to check Imright, then I will email the person whose photo is :mad:. This is sooo wrong...
-
I too belive I have seen some of these pics elsewhere, but of course now I can't remember where ..I will research and see what I can find out..
Yes, trouble needs to be heading this man/womans way…big time..
-
Yep I was right, that cute puppy pic is from this ladies site, so have emailed her with the site details, so now its up to her to do whatever she deems fit :mad:.
-
Yup, many "steal" pictures from other sites… and use on advertising for puppies... sad as that is... it happens all the time....
-
this is sort of the opposite of kennel blind. most breeders are proud enough of their own dogs to post pics of them. this person is obviously so embarassed by her dogs she doesn't want anyone to see them.
-
The name and address are apparantly legit on the whois info. DeMarco is one half of a 85 year old funeralhome in Rotterdam.

I love how he states fanconi is a condition that sometimes happens in basenjis. If it weren't so sad, it'd almost be funny!

Interesting, a Michael A DeMarco Jr of Stamford,CT with beagles had all his AKC privileges suspended for the next 10 years in February 2009.
Here is the April 2009 secretary's page listing the notice.
http://www.akc.org/pdfs/about/secretary_page/0409.pdfHere is the notice that appears in the report

Committee has suspended the following
individuals from all AKC privileges for ten

Mr. Michael A. Demarco, Jr. (Stamford,
CT) Beagle -
Notice he says "A visit to my ESTATE is encouraged." Somebody ought to take him up on that!

I saw that and thought the same..
-
I made a visit via satellite to Mr. Demarco's "estate" at 353 Melrose St in Rotterdam. I'm not sure I would call it an estate. In fact, I'm quite sure I would find some other descriptor for it.
-
Can anyone make a drive up and see it?
-
If anyone chooses to do this, please be careful. I'm wondering whether this is a scam. If it is, the scammer is already a criminal. I would suggest to drive past for a general impression, but avoid knocking on the door.

Google street view has been through that area, so you can look pretty closely online.
Just Google the address in google maps, zoom in as far as possible, then click on the little yellow figure above the zoom, and drag him to the street in front of the house. You can then look around.The registrant address is in Rotterdam, however the IP is in Dallas.
I hope that a cease and desist letter from the people whose pictures he stole will be enough to get his site down for a while.
