Show me in writing
where the AKC told you
to contact the attorney general.
>> Consumer complaints,
the attorney general.
I talked to a woman
on the phone.
I called the AKC twice.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Ridiculous,
absolutely ridiculous.
You don't want
to return the puppy.
You don't want
to return the puppy.
I mean, I've read the e-mails.
You love the puppy.
Your son loves the puppy.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: What are you
doing here?
Do you have nothing else
in your life?
You have a puppy that you love.
You have a nice son.
The puppy should
have been neutered
because you don't know anything
about dog breeding.
You have the dog neutered.
They said, "You know what?
One of the testicles
did not come down."
I've had it with two male dogs.
It makes the neutering process
a little more painful
for the dog, because, usually,
it's an easy process.
Am I correct?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You see,
and I'm a lawyer, and I know
that because I know it
from experience.
I never sued anybody
[Chuckling] because they sold me
a dog, and they were, believe
me,
as expensive as this one.
>> But I paid $1,250
for breeding rights.
>> Judge Judy: Show me!
And if she was willing
to give you back your money,
which I have here -- but she
said,
"I'm giving you back your money.
Bring me back the dog."
What am I not following
with that?
>> She wanted the dog back.
>> Judge Judy: That's absolutely
right.
She said, "I will give you
a full refund on the dog.
Just bring the dog back."
>> Well, we love --
>> Judge Judy: And then you
can go and buy
another dog from another breeder
that you're happier with.
>> I was very happy
with this dog.
>> Judge Judy: So what you
wanted was you wanted money back
and the dog.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Not.
And you called
the attorney general.
Okay.
So she got annoyed twice.
>> Twice.
>> Judge Judy: Now, in addition
to calling the attorney general,
you say she filed a false
restraining order against you.
So, Ms. Kiser,
you don't get any money...
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: ...unless you
want to return the pug to
Ms. Strasser.
>> No, I just --
>> Judge Judy: Okay, fine,
because she offered you that.
And I will make that offer good
to you today.
>> But she offered me $625.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
You can have
all your money back,
and you give her back Toby.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: What's your
pleasure?
>> I'll keep the dog.
>> Judge Judy: Great!
[ Spectators murmur ]
That's what you should have done
in the beginning,
not got yourself all -- your
panties in a twist.
[ Laughter ]
Announcer: "Judge Judy: Why die
a restraining order
against her, Ms. Strasser?
>> Because after...
She kept filing more
and more papers
with the attorney general,
and I had to respond
to all of this,
and it was driving me crazy.
Plus, I had people
coming to my property,
claiming they were lost.
>> Judge Judy: Now, just a
second.
Is what you're telling me,
you filed a restraining order
because she was
filing complaints with you?
>> Not neces-- It was mostly the
people coming on my property.
And she was there once and --
>> Judge Judy: I'm not believing
that, Ms. Strasser.
>> I did not take pictures.
I understand that.
>> Judge Judy: People coming
onto your property, strangers
coming onto your property --
>> I live in a very rural area.
It's not likely they're lost.
[ Laughs ]
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Strasser,
listen to me.
There's a word called strasheh.
It has nothing
to do with Strasser.
It's a Yiddish term for you're
giving somebody the business.
You're "strashehring" them.
And I'm telling you
exactly what you did.
You were annoyed
that she was filing reports
with the attorney general.
You said, "I'm going to get her.
I'm going to file
for a restraining order.
She's going
to have to now travel."
That's what you did.
Because that's abusing the
court.
That's a no-no.
>> She was the only one
that I had any problem with.
I've had numerous puppies,
and no one --
>> Judge Judy: You're absolutely
right.
Her reaction was nutty.
>> It wasn't her reaction.
It was the people
coming on my property,
and I didn't understand it.
>> Judge Judy: Well...
>> It was the only person
that could have possibly
had a complaint.
>> Judge Judy: Listen,
that's a giant leap,
and you know it.
And that's why they threw out
your restraining-order
application, right?
>> I didn't have pictures.
>> Judge Judy: No, they threw it
out because you had no case.
And the reason you had no case
is because you filed it
because she was
driving you crazy
with filing complaints
with the attorney general
that you had to respond to.
And you said, "Okay.
Two can play at this game."
I'm telling you,
I know what happened.
It was the wrong thing to do.
I also think it was
the wrong thing to do to contact
the attorney general's office.
>> But the AKC website,
>> Judge Judy: Aw, listen,
the AKC is not like the
Wizard of Oz.
It's not like a giant thing
that has a voice...
>> I realize that.
>> Judge Judy: ...you know,
behind a machine.
>> I realize that.
>> Judge Judy: And if you have a
document
for me to look at that
says that some person,
some human being at the AKC,
when you told them this story,
that the breeder offered you
your money back, you declined
because
she also wanted the dog back
and they said,
"Call the Attorney General..."
>> The lady --
>> Judge Judy: You tell me...
>> I don't have proof.
>> Judge Judy: You don't have
proof that they said, because
nobody would say that to you.
They said, "Well, the breeder
said, even after all this time,
she'll give you your money
back."
You're not happy, give you your
money back.
Go buy another pug.
She'll take the pug back.
She's got, according to her,
nine pugs in the house.
She'll take this one back
and have 10."
You don't want to do that.
The attorney general?
You're ridiculous.
Your case is dismissed.
So is your counterclaim.
We're done.
