I can tell you that I own a bitch with Durrer lines and Rothby lines. Should I be contacting up the chain? How did I end up with one??? How are they in my pedigrees? Somewhere down the line it happened and I got a bitch with full registration. I also had a male with many champions in his lines, champion grand sired and granddam...how did I get him full registration? I own a male and female that are Champion sired and I purchased both with no strings attached. How? What about the person who now owns Marshall, how did she obtain all those dogs with nice pedigrees? How about her champion sired one?
Happens every day and not with just "back door" purchases. I do not buy that at all. How many other people have nice lines in their pets or breeding dogs and they did not buy them from the original kennel. No one can tell me this is isolated nor can they say it is all from "backdoor" purchases. |
You seem to have completely missed my point. I wasn't speaking in general terms. How or why you breed is none of my business. If you do things ethically, good for you. Marshall's case is 100% different from someone getting a dog from line x through the proper means. Marshall was passed around like a hand me down rag doll. No ethical breeder would want that for their pup, and I bet you anything that Marshall's breeder thought that would never happen to one of her own. Now, the person who has Marshall now, knowing how Marshall ended up at her door step, really out of respect for the breeder should reach out to her. I'm pretty sure she now knows that this isn't the life that was envisioned for Marshall, and out of respect for all the work Marshall's breeder put into him she should reach out to his breeder. That was all I was trying to say.
I don't know much about the show world, or breeding for that matter. This case is more about common sense and decency that a discussion about "back door" purchases.
