Puppy Adverts
Various puppy advertising companies on the net are aware of Jack Sterling's conviction for cruelty yet none of them respect the customers right to know, before progressing with their purchase of a puppy.
Little Boys
Recently we looked over the back fence of Jack Sterlings House of Sakorn rented accomodation, from within the grounds of the Children's Shelter Home Union for boys.
Any alarm bells ringing for anyone?
We found some very interesting information.

Jack's Records - Who's yer Daddy?
No not the vinyl one that is stuck or the conviction for that matter but the easy come easy go record system he keeps about which dogs mate and produce his pups.
Having read various forums discussing how House of Sakorn puppy pedigree's are not worth the paper they are written on, I found a particular thread from a disenchanted recipient of one of Sterlings pups.
After learning from Sterling directly, that the puppy was from a litter on a certain date and from a mother known as Layla (Sterling's Clapton phase) and the father was one named dog, it transpires from Sterlings own website that in fact there were 4 possible fathers of the puppy, as Sterling had messed up his facts to make a good story.
If you are going to lie, you must have a good tongue... otherwise it will speak the truth before your brain tells it what to say.
If you know anything of Jack, you know that his tongue is not connected to his brain all the time.

Jack Sterling is Guilty but PuppySite.com joins the list
In case it is not obvious and to save you from reading the rest of this site (blog), Jack Sterling operates a puppy mill in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where until recently he had over 100 teenage & adult dogs that were left over from too many litters and many were not of pet or salable quality. He also had over 40 puppies and their health was priority 1 for Sterling as they are his livelihood, so the adults were forced to go without food, only being fed 2 - 3 times a week.
His factory was reminiscent of a prison with cages stacked row after row and dogs kept inside without essential socialisation and exercise.
Neighbours alerted the police on several occasions regarding dogs left hanging to die in his garden tree and eventually a local animal welfare group managed to motivate the justice system to bring about a charge for a case of cruelty to a puppy which resulted in it's death.
There are no government or other active agencies effectively chasing cruelty cases in Thailand and the organisations that exist in many western countries , RSPCA, ASPCA etc. just do not exist. Legislation in fact is so inadequate that to be caught smoking in a public place, or throwing away a cigarette end, attracts a fine of approximately 60$US. Cruelty to animals attracts a fine of just 30$US.
On 16 January, Jack Sterling pleaded guilty to a charge made against him the previous December and paid the fine of 30$US. (Neither of the advertisers will accept this, despite the posting of the official Thai Police report)
This week he turned 61 and is still intending to operate his puppy mill, just as he has in the USA & now in Thailand for the past 15 years. Of course he will, it's a lucrative business.
And that's where the likes of PuppyFind.com, NextDayPets.com & now PuppySite.com enter this story.Sadly, despite writing & corresponding with PuppyFind.com, NextDayPets.com & now PuppySite.com, regarding Sterling's conviction, each site continues to advertise Jack Sterling - House of Sakorn as a breeder.
These adverts do not advise potential customers of Jack Sterlings conviction for cruelty and other background information which they might wish to know before entering into a life long contract with Jack Sterling, following their initial contact with him.
TRDTruth is not about closing down the puppy breeding market or against breeders. Puppies bred in moderation, by the majority of breeders throughout the world, are not puppy mills. But Jack Sterling is churning out so many puppies and as a consequence, he has flooded & spoiled the market for many other Thai Ridgeback breeders in Thailand & Internationally.
Furthermore, he has caused a more serious problem locally. There are already too many dogs on the streets of Thailand where he is generating many non pet quality dogs that will inevitably end up either being dumped by him at a temple, with a willing vet or just left on a street at night to find it's way in life. In the past, he has even tried dispatching non salable ones as gifts to unsuspecting customers, only to find they have birth defects or other problems they did not buy into when ordering just 1 puppy from him.
If you feel strongly about animal welfare, the future of any dog or the ethics of allowing Jack Sterling to continue to operate a puppy mill, say something, do something, do not just turn away, hoping nobody saw you turning away, to leave the future unchanged.

It's still very quiet at the House Of Scorn
The money's in the bank from the sale of Cristel's puppy and she's gone home.
Jack's not doing much on the forum these days either. It's reduced to non-funny jokes of 2 years ago because he's out of the Thai Ridgeback world now. He's yesterdays man.
All those unplanned litters with poor quality dogs have not helped. But not to worry because on his site he has had a little pat on the back. He has promoted himself from miller to hobby breeder. Nice hobby !
It's not like papa Jack to keep so quiet, so Leung told a couple of the team to have a look around to see what's new. Much better now, Jack. All those heaps of cages are gone but there are also quite a lot of missing dogs too. Where are they now? Jack has the answer but it's not a pretty story, is it, Jack?
We worry because it's not like Jack to be so clean and tidy.
He started improving before the visit of Sabrina but it still was not good enough for the famous super-clean Swiss miss. She cleaned away all the years of filth and we are sure the dogs are happier now. By the way Jack, did you know she was a veterinarian with the Swiss army?
The place got another make-over before Cristel came. Lucky she did not stay too long because Jack can';t keep up the big act for much more than a week.
It's a lot more like a mill than a sewer these days, which is great. But there's still a long way to go before it's acceptable. Jack does not allow visitors to see the concentration camp round the back because they must not see the reality that stares them in the face.
Jack's on a mission. Mission impossible !
His markets have almost dried up and the bad publicity is growing. Too many dogs and not enough 'forever homes'. It's getting tough for the good quality breeders, so just think how bad it is going to be for the ones like Jack who have lost their way because they are only in it for the money. The evidence is on his own site. A hand-full of good dogs bred by other people and a sad list of pet quality mutts. Not much to show for a lifetime 'in dogs'. And it's only going to get worse in the future.
So what lies ahead for poor papa Jack?
Mmm doesn't look too rosy. He's fat and old. That cough can be heard right across the fields. Soon he'll become unsteady on his feet. Mind those steep wooden steps up to 'computerland'. Years of smoking you-know-what have left him unbalanced and his mood swings are getting more noticeable and more frequent. And he's still doing the Thai stuff. Hope it's not a bad batch!
The wizard has lost his magic and nearly all his friends. His landlord really likes him. Oh, yeah! The neighbours do too. They really will miss his cheerful face, his generosity and the long chats when he's fled the area. Even his lawyer has had enough and he's getting paid to listen,- or so he thinks !
Pressure from all sides is sending good old Jack back on the road again. Where this time? It doesn't really matter for now because we'll always be able to find him. The long trail to his front door isn't hard to follow if you've got so many people in this part of the world taking an interest.
Hey, Jack !
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. All the time in the world for us just to sit and wait until you're up and running before we pay you a visit. Trick or treat, Jack? It's Halloween any day for us.
Now, get off the computer and get some work done. Times running out. Get off your fat butt and feed those dogs.

Puppyfind.com - Sterling TRD
Dear readers, it transpires that Jack Sterling has been using puppyfind.com to launder his pups since 2003.
It would seem administrators of puppyfind.com, have reacted to requests from various sources around the globe, that they remove Sterling's adverts from their site, by donning a cloak of denial, flapping in a manner of not knowing quite what to do with this 'Hot Potato' and attempting to prolong the issue by stalling.
How many hits is puppyfind.com getting every day, looking for the ideal pet puppy, hoping to find a healthy and balanced puppy to join their family.
How many of those folks hitting puppyfind.com realise that Jack Sterling, the wizard behind the facade of House of Sakorn, is a puppy miller who has been convicted of cruelty to a puppy, causing it to die. How many of those folks seeking a healthy balanced puppy from puppyfind.com, know the background of Sterling TRD?
If Sterling were operating in America, (answers on a post card regarding why he is no longer?) he would be heavily fined, banned and even imprisoned before now, for what he has managed to get away with in Thailand.
Laws in the home countries of the majority of this blogs readership, are quite different to those found in Thailand. Jack Sterling has just proved the true value of animals as they are considered by Thai legislation. He was fined the maximum penalty, 1,000 baht (approx US$30) on the eve of the Thailand wide smoking ban in public which if enforced is punishable with a 2,000 baht penalty.
Jack Sterling has sold puppies to people living in Thailand but the majority of his business is abroad. America, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, England to name a few. These countries would have locked him up by now if not banning him from being able to even keep a dog. Yet an international organisation such as puppyfind.com is prepared to allow the propagation of his business, whilst living within one of those countries. Ethical?
Well Jessica, you have an ultimatum with you from several parties now. You can withdraw Sterling's adverts or be considered by the world as operating an unethical website, trading puppy milled puppies. (puppymill.com ??)
Can we respectfully suggest you react in a positive and proactive fashion to these requests and demonstrate that your site does not support the actions of Jack Sterling, a convicted abuser of puppies.
