[QUOTE=Elle;3253847] Why isn't this women agreeing to return him, in due respect? That is what should be done. Try to salvage the pieces.

Who wants a dog that the breeder would not sell to you?

Here is what i think. It is a true question of scruples. Before entering into any verbal or for that matter written agreement with the second owner of Marshall. Why a) didn't she ask about the contract, that would have allowed him to be sold? and b) why not ask the original breeder if she knew that her dog was going to her for breeding purposes and was she okay with that?

This last owner is a parti breeder if her website is accurate. So will she use the CH of standard color to breed into her parti program?

She should offer to sell him back to the original breeder. Or come to some sort of other arrangement. I can;t fathom that this original breeder envisioned her dog to have been rehomed so many times.

For shame on all the previous owners. Good grief, you can get the "studs" sperm through artifical insemination, you don't have to rehome this wonderful boy.

Is this boy just a "commodity" to push here or there? Where is the love ? Where is the willingness to do the best to give your boy the bestest type of home?

So the original owner was naive, and trusting, and didn't put co-ownership in her contract.

Did that original purchaser really believe the breeder would be okay or fine with her reselling this dog?

I am very saddened by this story. My only hope is that Marshall will not yet again be shunted to another breeding home.
