Irene Kang, Starhill Kennel Penang – Part 1.

In: It Sucks|Scubby

* * * B E W A R E * * *
Unethical Breeder from Tanjong Bungah, Penang

If you have heard of her name from forums, or better still, you have visited her website. Then you would know about her Kennel (a semi detached house) being a Home of Westies, Miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers & Silky Terriers. Do the maths *puppy mill alert!*

I am writing this post not as a promotion for her dogs, but a testimony to Irene Kang’s manipulative lies. Isn’t all businesspersons a liar at some point? Wrong move, Mrs Kang! *shakes head in disgust*

Scubby is the puppy of Ozzy and Christy. He was their 2nd litter of 5 very adorable Westie puppies born on 9 September 2008. Their 1st litter had only 2 puppies and was born on 10 February 2008.

Scubby at Starhill Kennel Penang

When we brought Scubby home on 2 November 2008, I was overwhelmed with his health conditions. He had abnormal puppy rash and ear infection that lasted for 4 months, he had excessive ear wax that took 3 weeks of daily cleaning to dissolve, and he tiptoes when he walks and runs which now suspected as the hereditary Canine Hip Dysplasia.

Irene Kang promised nothing but the best of her Westies. No genetic health issues, she claimed that her Westies are the best in Malaysia. And this I can quote you her exact words: I breed only for the best, and no Westies in the Klang Valley can compare! (Note that I used the word “Best” 3x)

Then why did Scubby have all these issues? Immediately, she blamed us and our Vets. How convenient *fumes*

One of her buyers from her 1st Westie litter contacted me. She shared that their puppy (Taco), died 2 weeks after collection because he was infected with Canine Distemper Virus. She noticed Taco having all the virus’ symptoms since the very beginning. On the 2nd night itself, Taco had a seizure which Irene simply excused it as the puppy being playful. I didn’t know her Westie puppies are such talented Actors!

Did Irene Kang sell them a defected puppy at RM3,000? What did Irene Kang do? She hung up the phone on them. Washing her hands clean from any responsibilities!

Will you buy from an irresponsible breeder like Irene Kang? Probably you would. And now with this ongoing publicity, more people would do too. Because seriously, no one cares enough to say No. The puppies are just too cute…

There are no laws to protect us from unethical business people. So protect yourself by being informed. Because I just informed you!

Please share this information with family and friends that are planning to buy a dog.

Hi hi, I have a westie at home too. But we bought it somewhere else in Penang.

Also I’m staying in Tanjung Bunga, Penang. Mind to share where this kennel is exactly located? Really wish to alert my friends and family as we do not wish for any incidents like this to happen!

Thank you!

Hi FlikTeoh,

Surprising that you’ve not heard of her when she could be staying just right next door!

Please share this information urgently. She has kept another female puppy for breeding, and 1 before that from Scubby’s batch. So both puppy shared the same genetic mark-up. I cannot imagine 1 or 2 years down the road, 80% of Westies in Malaysia will be hers! *horror*

Btw, she claimed to be the best in Penang.

I’ve been to this Happy Pet Place or something for boarding, and few other places that I’ve visited to only look at the puppies. Just maybe I’ve been to this one I didn’t know.

Seriously should inform my family people since they’re all very into pet dogs.

p/s: As I remember 2 years ago, there were no westie sellers in Penang/Malaysia except those who only breed them at home naturally. Thats how I got mine.

She is a home breeder. She imported her 2 Westies from Australia in 2007. But she has been breeding her other dogs for 4 years already.

Do inform as many people as you can. Before I found out all these awful lies, she has already denied a lot of other promises she made. We just let go since we stay so far to berkira with her. Sommore I promoted her Westies at forums when people ask me about Scubby. What a regret! Now I have to undo it all :(

Now with more lies surfacing, so we must stop her!

Geee! Thanks for the google map! Now I know where it is!

And yes, nonsense like this must be exposed to the public so that everyone knows!

If nobody’s buying, she can’t breed anymore!

I can’t understand why she needs to lie? And when her buyer’s puppy died, she didn’t even bear any responsibility. Instead she just hung up the phone! I’ve encountered that myself too, she just deny deny deny in the most defensive manner. I bet it’s because we are both all the way down in KL. Imagine if I was within 30 minutes drive!

If this is how she does her business, I hope she close shop (her house) today!
