This is just appalling to me. This is a Board member of the BTCA who is using a rescue group to place her dogs. She is only doing this to save $$$ and it clearly shows her interest is not in the dogs but just in HER breeding program.....besides the BTCA says they have their own rescue so why would one of their board members go through a Scottie Rescue group.
If someone is a breeder and can't be bothered with doing the placement of their own retired dogs then they need to get out of breeding dogs. It is people like this who are only into breeding for one reason...
This is the second time I have run into this so called rescue group and she is placing breeder dogs...not rescue dogs.
Petfinder is set up for rescue groups and not placing breeder's dogs.
