All,

Good afternoon.

We have just heard of this situation in the last few hours and this forum is the only place I have been able to find any information. It is my intent to post here with only with the purpose of determining the status of these BRTs.

What we know;

We have 2 BRTs from these lines and 1 BRT from this breeder lives with the couple next door (he is part of our family as well). We are familiar with several other BRTs from this breeder. To our knowledge, all arrived in fine health with no problems. Our family of BRTs is the light of our lives for a number of deeply personal reasons and ask my fiancé who she would choose if she had to make a choice...BRTs or me...I don't think I probably need to explain to anyone on a dog forum just how strongly we feel.

We have been working with Officer Kelly NJ DOC for the last three months (long distance) as he helps us restructure our training program to suit the BRT temperament. Officer Kelly is considered one of the top LEO K-9 trainers in NJ and answers calls the NJ local and State Police, in addition to the U.S. Marshals. Officer Kelly is one of only 2 LEOs, that we know of, that has a BRT "on the job" (Officer Nikolai). Officer Nikolai is from this kennel as well.

What we don't know;

What happened. We suspect a call from a competing breeder or neighbor with regards to structure size, number of dogs, or something similar. As someone who travels all over world I can truthfully say one mans shanty is another mans castle (most Americans are unaware that Russians generally live in 600 sq ft or less and it comes as a bit of a shock to someone who grew up in a McMansion). We sincerely hope that, in the end, the situation boils down to something this simple and easily resolved. Until we know more we must reserve judgment.

What we can do.

We have sent a text and email to Officer Kelly. As a LEO, of course we never know when he will respond. We are able to provide his contact information to anyone who can confirm DIRECT involvement in the situation or its planned resolution.

We are prepared, at a moment's notice, to provide any assistance possible. Money, timing, distance are no issue. We can provide whatever is necessary.

If ANYONE has ANY additional information or has ANY QUESTIONS for us please contact me at my personal email address bfdrise@hotmail.com. We are also happy to talk by phone but would prefer to supply our phone number buy direct email for the usual obvious reasons.

Thank you all for caring.
