Hello everyone,
I’m new to this list and found this thread by Googling JadsDelights.com.
I realize the original post began in July 2007 and continued up to last month. I know someone who fell victim to this Gabriel Suggs in Maryland and that puppy sale raised red flags so I did some sleuthing and found some pretty astounding facts on the story behind JadsDelights.
This site is registered to Angela Holloway, use used to do business under HEAVENVIEW KENNELS in New Paris, PA, Bedford County. Hence the ‘heview’ user name.
Angela Holloway is notorious in that part of PA and in 2003-2004 was charged with and found and guilty of running an unlicensed, despicable dog kennel. The state of Pa Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement denied her a kennel license because the conditions of the dogs and their kennels were SO BAD. She used to breed Golden Retrievers and a lot of smaller breeds, which she kept in wire cages in an unheated barn. I saw the pictures and files from the state and they were pretty deplorable. There were several articles written about her in the Bedford Gazette and other local papers.
Holloway was also suspended by the AKC:
The AKC's Management Disciplinary Committee has suspended Angela Holloway (New Paris, PA) from all AKC privileges for a period of ten (10) years, effective November 10, 2003, and imposed a $2000 fine for failure to comply with the rules and regulations for record keeping and identification and failure to maintain her dogs and facilities in a manner acceptable to The American Kennel Club. (Multiple Breeds)

Nathan Myer of Lititz is alleged to have many of her Golden Retrievers now which is tragic because Myer himself owns one of the state’s larger puppy mills. He is also USDA-licensed and sells pups to pet stores and brokers. Just Google his name for more info. Myer and David M. Zimmerman (another despicable puppy miller) came to Holloway’s defense during her court hearing when she was being charged by the state. No wonder she says that Nathan Myer is a “close family friend” but Myer certainly doesn’t need Angela Holloway to sell some of his dogs on her website!
She has relatives and co-brokers in Maryland so no doubt is still hauling her sick and badly bred puppies across state lines in order to avoid detection by PA authorities. No one knows exactly what she is doing with dogs today but it can’t be good.
And you all are right about the ACA: another junk registry, one that will register anything with fur and a few legs. It's known for picking up suspended AKC breeders.
Thanks for listening and working to protect the integrity of the breed.
