HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOG?
HAVE YOU SEEN AMANDA CIARAVINO?

If so ask her about Ashley the dog she stole, a dog in which she does not own.
I have the AKC papers on the dog - she was going to co own the female
in the agreement she was to finish her to her AKC Championship
Which she has not shown her in 2 yrs.
She also was to do health testing on her OFA's and CERF's.
She was to supply me on pick of the litter out of her.
When Amanda/Vito couldn't meet their obligation it was agreed upon
that she was going to come back to me. 
This was also during the same time frame that Amanda/Vito had
dogs in their possession that clearly shown that they were neglected.
A Western Union was sent to Amanda Ciaravino and was picked by
Amanda Ciaravino, but Amanda Ciaravino never sent the dog home.
She had came up with all kinds of reasons why she was unable to
get her on the plane, meet up with other people for drop off, etc.
She does not answer her phone, reply to email, nor even talk to an attorney.

In Oct 2009 another client of theirs had a buff male out with them
that was suppose to show at Spaniel Club,
they picked up this buff boy and dropped off another clients dog (Avery) plus a co owned
dog (Riddle) at this clients residence house with either parties being told 
nor the co owner of the dog. 
When the client of the buff dog tried to get her male back
it was a complete run around as to why she couldn't but finally she got him back
after many months but the condition was horrible.
The client had shaved off a 4 ft mat which photos were taken as proof.


This is the mat that was removed in one whole piece from Elliott the
buff male Cocker Spaniel.

Since the cocker world is a close nit community between breeders
other clients were told about the seriousness of buff male.
They too pulled 5 dogs from Vito/Amanda Ciaravino.
A couple of these dogs were matted and hair cuts
were given to a couple of them that looked like chunks were taken
out to cover up that there had been mats there and was blamed on blown coat.

One dog was MHC & Aj's Born To Cause A Ruckus previously owned by another client.
This dog was a dog that went to them recommended by
me to be shown to his AKC Championship but while there
pretty much sat ring side and entered but not shown many times.
This dog was picked up by two other clients and was taken
to a professional handler Kendal DeStanto and had to be
de-matted for many hours before he could even start to thing of showing him.
Once in the hands of Kendall he finished very quickly within months.
Ruckus after finished is back here with his breeder.


Ruckus condition when he was removed from Amanda Ciaravino.


Now, remember (Avery) that was dropped off at the clients house,
That dog was returned back to handler after it had stayed many months
at the other clients house, since then the client that owns Avery
has yet to get her dog back and it is not from the lack of trying.
Amanda/Vito Ciaravino continue to not communicate with this client
and has stolen this dog as well. 

Now, remember (Riddle) this dog was a co owned dog.
They were suppose to show three of my dogs to their completion
and I was going to add on co ownership to the AKC papers.
Well Vito at that time was saying he wanted to do this with the dog and
that with the dog so I added him on before hand of finishing the other three.
In the agreement he was suppose to come here for 6 months to be bred
When I did talk to Amanda she told me he was in Kansas some where
and she was trying to get him home, that was a lie.
Riddle was with this client that she had dropped him off there.
I ended up paying 160.00 to her to meet up with me and drive 3 hours
each way to meet to pick up Riddle. 
Riddle has been here since Oct 2009 and Amanda Ciaravino
will not even talk to me about him..
They co own him why they would not communicate.
He was only suppose to stay here 6 months, he has been here almost 2 years plus now.
They down right abandoned him here and with no communication
I can't get them to sign off on his AKC papers so I can place him.

I do not recommend these two handlers at all.
They have matted multiple dogs on multiple occasions.
They enter shows and do not show up 1/2 the time.
They do not bill you like normal handlers bill you.
They are constantly telling you one thing and do another.
I have witnessed abuse towards animals and towards each other.
There is a HUGE lack of communication.
They answer your calls and emails when you are needed, but
when you are trying to get a hold of them, they do not answer and ignore you.
Plus they have not returned 2 Cocker Spaniels.
This is just a short list.

Today I find out that someone was able to finally get Avery from Amanda.
After how many years of holding this dog for no reason.
Finally, after someone made a trip from Kansas to Crete Il.
I actually seen Avery on 08/28/2011
Why did it take Amanda this long to do the right thing?

The same person that was able to get Avery back asked to get Ashley back.
Her words, she owns her. Nope she co owns her and I have her papers here.
She can never breed her. 
She broke her contract to even co own her.
The reason she will not give her back is she is her house dog?
Really.   How many house dogs do you need?
