I've said to you repeatedly that she bred this abused girl as soon as she got her, when she was still malnourished, scared and obviously in need. See post #25

The spaying didn't help? Well there goes that idea!
Yes, when they capture your heart it is so sad to part with them.
Calypso was abused before we got her -- she was really bad off as far as interacting with humans. We felt so sorry for her, and have really pampered her along. She goes into panic mode, when I get the yardstick to measure an afghan, or use my grabber to get something off of a shelf. She used to hide in the corner and wouldn't let us even pet her. Slowly she came out of it, and perks up her ears and runs to us when we call her. But, still, she will be the one that has to go, if we can't get this under control once and for all.

She also had this high-pitched hurt yippy bark, instead of a normal bark.
After having her for a while, things changed for the better. She now has weight problem and could stand to lose a few pounds; she loves being held & petted; she doesn't hide ever; loud voices don't make her panic anymore; she relaxes and sleep quite well now. She still does have an issue with objects we use sometimes, so we are careful around her when we do. Her bark is now normal, and only turns to the high pitch bark, when we get home from being gone for a while --- like she was afraid we weren't coming back.
If that doesn't sound like abuse, then I'm sorry I called it that. The program on TV was about abused dogs and showed some and how they act -- and it fit her perfectly.

You read these words and you tell me how this dog should have ever been bred? She deserved a home with love and protection and look what she got. The fact that you are knowingly sending your pups to someone who has so little regard for animals is beyond my comprehension. This has gone beyond 2 females fighting. If you can't see that, if you don't care what happens to those puppies you've known since birth, then I feel so very sorry for you.
