Courier Times (Bucks County) News paper article from September 4th 2007 :

"....Despite the court order, the department may never see the money. An investigator couldn't find any assets belonging to the company, and Murphy said it appeared a contact at the dog-training company may have been using a fake name. David Kiewel, apparently, “doesn't even exist as a person,” according to Murphy...."

In the past, Kiewel Working Dogs , David Kiewel and Josh Kiewel (KWD Protection Dogs, executive protection dogs) did purchased domain names associated strictly with my trademark names - "Ot Vitosha".  For a short time they used my trademark names to redirect to their own website. Then the same domain names were used to redirect to various websites ( some quite inappropriate)
Those Web sites were eventually taken down, but the domain names remain in their possession.

If you are dealing with  KWD Protection Dogs ( same people), you are not dealing with Ivan Balabanov, Ot Vitosha Kennels.
David Kiewel is Not certified or trained by Ivan Balabanov!

A basic search on Google  using “David Kiewel ” reveals some very interesting accounts. For example, follow this link:
 

Authorities Suing Nebraska Dog Supplier  and make sure you see the CBS video (above) in better quality

 or:

or:

their  business in Germany here 
 

or   see this one -   Leerburg Discussion forum - Kiewel scam

or on the Working  Giant Schnauzer discussion forum

 



Here are only few e-mails I have received from  REAL people, who have had dealings with KWD and unfortunately read the warnings that are all over the internet too late :

hello. ivan
 my name is corrie  Robbins, i bought a dog from kiewel in august 2006
....great dog ...not what i asked for and paid for. i did lots of research
on protection dogs on line and in my province by word of mouth ...they
seemed to have what i needed.... or so i thought... my dog is healthy but no
real protection commands ......At best he is a well trained house dog...i
tried to contact kiewl several times with no response after 6 months ...now
after researching on the net i find my self feeling very ripped off...there
was nothing posted on the net about the kiewel kennels before nov.6 ....when
i was researching in july 2006 there was nothing ...now after nov. there are
articles about these brothers.....how was I to know????  i am in canada in
toronto and i love my dog what am i to do ...because before Nov.2006 it
seems no one thought that kiewel was a fraud ...and now i see this is  a
fraud ...what am i to do.....the whole reason for paying 13000 was because i
needed protection from a crazy man ...my dog was to be the one always with
me never needing a phone call no court ordered paper work that doesn't do
shit ....my new best friend for life that would kill for me and at the same
time be a pet... i got ripped off, I'm sure ...but my dog has papers and
still protects when i'm walking him and when he is at home sometimes?. not
what was paid for. i really needed this dog because of this situation...I am
a girl with a crazy x who won't let me go very abusive and very
unpredictable  and my dog is not even close to being a threat ...now at he
same time ...i think he would protect naturally but i am very
skeptical....he hides when anyone yells in the house????so after 13000 us .
what do you think i should do????

Dear Ivan,
Just wanted to let you know that I too am having trouble with the Kiewels.
I have been in contact with an attorney to determine what my next steps will be.
Happy to talk with you, but at this time won't include anymore information in writing.
I am planning to file suit.

Hello,

I was given your email address by Tammy of Leidenschaft Kennels. She told me that you might have an interesting story to tell regarding dealings with the Kiewel's. I intend to put a link on my website to expose them and their dishonest business practices and link it to Tammy's...people need to know about them before they give them their money. We bought a dog to do work (for therapy work in a Children's hospital and nursing homes and for search and rescue (this is all work done free of charge)...we had to scrape to get the money to buy her...even used fund raiser money. Now we're stuck with a dog that may be a danger that we were not trained to deal with and is nothing that she was supposed to be and does not even have the correct paperwork to get her registered.
I hope you'll respond and get a hold of me. I believe there is strength in numbers and if they know that people are networking and not going to just sit by and let this happen maybe we can stop them.

Respectfully,
Mary Beth DeBrodie
