Taking action... Jaxon has been doing better now that he is on anti seizure medicine, he did have a single seizure since he has been on it, and is lethargic after taking it. Other than that, he seems to be the same old spunky Jaxon. We are looking into getting the procedure done in Colorado, as it is the closest place to New Mexico... More on that later, however, the breeder that Jaxon was purchased from is selling inbred pups, and was featured on the ABC news here in Albuquerque when a grandmother purchased a yorkie from Judy Corbin for her granddaughter for Christmas. The yorkie had parasites and gray gums (if you google Judy Corbin + yorkie you can read the numberous reposts of the news article...). Jaxon's mother received a phone call from her vet today with information from another woman who purchased a yorkie from the same lady, with parasites. The lady did a little checking and believes that this Corbin is inbreeding her dogs, and that the parents are quite possibly brother and sister. Ms. Corbin told the lady that she is being overly paranoid and that the vet is out to get her money and if she wanted, her money could be refunded and at which point the returned pup will be sold to some other family. In my mind, it goes without question or hesitation that this breeder needs to be shut down. I have read posts where people have come to her defense with false information, saying that Judy Corbin does not own a kennel and things of that matter. I guess my question after this rambling is where can I find information on how to get the correct authorities involved, if Ms. Corbin is knowingly selling sick puppies and breeding bloodlines with major health problems, and inbreeding the parents, can criminal and/or civil charges be brought against her? I am aware that a civil law suit could be filed, but was wondering if anyone knows of any precedent. I know this is a long post, but this lady is selling inbred sick puppies to unsuspecting families. I know we cannot do anything about the puppies that she has had bred into this world with the health issues that are all to common in her puppies, but she should not be allowed to bring another puppy into this world that is going to be unhealthy. Thanks for reading, and I hope everything goes well with everyone's pups. thanks again... |
