I bought a Akita dog from Don Vandermyden dba Royalty Akita's on July 2015.Paid 2900.00 for the dog and 1100.00 for the shipping.He was going to quarantine and do the raqbbies test so the dog can be shipped to Hawaii Rabbies free.The first dog didn't pass the test strong enough to get the health cert.So he sent me some pictures of other puppies to chose another one to go through the rabbies tests again.After 6 months I kept calling and e-mails no reponse until Isaid that I was going to sue him and calling all the web sights he sells dogs that he's a crook.He finely called me and said he had been in the hospital for cancer and his worker stole 12 puppies from him while he was in the hospital and she's nowhere to be found and one of the dogs she took was mind.I wanted my money back at that time,he wanted to give me another dog,so I agreed because we wanted a dog so bad.He said he had a new worker and she was the new general manager and contact her about the dog and the rabbies test on this dog.Called her today to see if the dog past the test and is ready to ship.To my surprise her phone doesn't work and Don is again not returning my calls.In July 2017 its been 2 years since I paid Don $4000.00 July 2015. Can you belive this.This man is a fraud and a crook.I see reviews that are good and that's way I desided to buy an akita from don,but was I wrong.I checked his background on line.He's been convicted of a felony and has been sued in small claims court multiply times and I'm the next one to sue him
