It is time to set the record straight
 

It takes a lot of pure gall matched with I don't know what---

You be the judge---

I sold a beautiful healthy Biewer puppy , pick of the litter, vet

checked X3, shots and worming all done by the vet- to a very

good friend- From the get go she wormed her and wormed her

because she had a soft stool (she had 25 years experience

raising Yorkies don't you know)- -even treated her several

times for coccidia when the test results were negative- then

decided without a vets. advice to put her on antibiotics several

times because we all have been told if you have raised dogs

for 25 years you definitely know more than any vet. This

woman has never even whelped a litter by herself, has always

had someone do it for her- She could not understand why the

dog didn't gain weight or have an appetite and her main

concern was she would never hit 5 lbs so she could breed her-

All thru this I kept telling her she needed to let the bowel rest,

she had it so irritated that of course the dog wouldn't eat- or

have a normal stool- And to give it an antibiotic was a nono-

But I had only been raising dogs for a year and this was my

first litter--So what the crap did I know-

When the dog was 13 months old, had not come into heat, my

friend complained that she was now feeding the dog by hand

one kibble at a time and she didn't know what she was going

to do because of the weight loss and still no "heat"- How do

you think she could ever eat enough to gain weight or have a

healthy appetite feeding just one kibble at a time-

So now she takes her to the vet who states that she has a

"Juvenile Uterus" (by the way caused by malnutrition, stress

and lack of excercise-The uterus recovers when put on a proper

diet) and no back molars (no Xrays taken) and she should not

be used for breeding- Molars come in after 6 months and this

should have been noticed before 13 months had lapsed-

Because we were "such good friends" she was not asking for a

refund and she certainly didn't want me to take the dog back-

She just wanted to buy another breeding dog at a very reduced

price- And she knew I stood behind my dogs and my contract-

Well the first thing I did was consult my vet for her advice- I

explained in detail all that I have said ( we had no Xrays or

test results) - She told me that in all probability it was all due

to overmedicating and malnutrition during a very critical

growing period in the dogs life that had caused the problems,

especially the uterus and if the uterus was undeveloped so

would the teeth be undeveloped-

So I explained to my "good friend" that I do indeed stand

behind my dogs for any health issue that was not caused by

neglect or overmedication and she would have to assume the

responsibily and I would not refund nor replace the dog she

had ruined--

She was mad!!! OH, how she was mad!!! to have messed up

her plans to get another dog for free or at a reduced price (

You see I have now heard from some of her "other good

friends" that I was not the first one she has tried this with)

So what she did first was call MY vet - She cursed her, she

cried , she ranted and she raved- The threatened her that she

was going to report her to the State Board of Veterinary

Medicine in Tennessee for the advice she had given me-

Now the dog goes into her first heat about a week after all this

started- But that didn't matter- She was already on her war

path

Well my "good old friend" started on her smear campaign

calling and telling any and every one she could corner what a

bad breeder I was and that I don't stand behind my dogs- She

has been ingenius at spreading the word-

And because she wasn't getting enough pitty and satisfaction

from her actions, true to her word she did write a very long

letter to the Board of Veterinary Medicine in Tennesse and filed

a report against my veterinarian for her conduct in the matter.

Just that much more for her to gloat about.

So for 1 year I have endured this gossip and slander produced

by this "good old friend" who has done everything to ruin

myreputation as a good breeder. Those who have listened to

her, know who I am talking about-

The dog has put on weight, made a miraculous recovey of the

uterus, and low and behold the teeth have finally appeared!!!
Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus!!!!!!

So now after all the dulldrum we get down to the good part!!!
After 1 year she found another vet who has given this dog a

clean bill of health-- The other vet must have been mistaken--
Oh MY!!! I SAID ALL ALONG THERE WAS NOTHING -- I MEAN

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DOG!!!!!!!!
So now she has bred her with this vet's blessing and the litter

has arrived (" Oh but we are only going to sell the as pets) I'll

bet my sweet bippy it won't be disclosed to the buyers about

all the problems stated by her and her vet.

I declared in the beginning that the dog was healthy just

neglected thru ignorance and has now made a wonderful

recovery inspite of the owner- The puppies are beautiful look healthy and

fat- They are quality and come from a quality pedigree- So buy her puppies

as breeders or show or even as a pet. That is if you want to do business

with some one of this caliber. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Her behavior is unbecoming for an officer of a club!!!!

I am sorry you have possibly been the victim of a smear campaign. Please don't dwell on it too much. I know it is painful but in all honestly in the dog business there is a lot of that that goes around. No breeder is perfect and I hate it when someone just focuses on the bad deeds or crazy things someone might do. I think we all at one time or another have had friends that we trusted that disappointed us. Just try to be the best breeder that you can and people will notice. Just try to be more careful in the future who you give breeding rights to with your puppies. We live and learn.

I agree. If it were me, I'd keep my chin up and exceed the standards I set for myself and not let myself be dragged down by the pettiness of other people.

Never sell dogs/pups to friends...!

LOLOLOL!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

I agree on this, Except add family to it, It's the same as never loan money to family or friends.

oh, I agree, when we had the accidental yorkie Russell breeding, my sister in law beg me for a puppy, and she even asked my mom, so I agreed, a week before puppy was to go home she went to the PET store and bought a yorkie pup, well I got SUPER MAD and did not let her have my pup, well all hell broke loose and she did not talk to me until her store bought pup got sick...:(, SO lesson learned, NO puppies to family or friends under any circumstances.I rather keep the pup than place it with family or friends.
sorry you had to go thru such an ugly situation.

Don't tell me this.. I am letting my sister have one of mine. I hope I don't live to regret it. :(

oh girl, maybe you will be the LUCKY one :) I don't have a sister only a brother and he told us both he was NOT going to get involved in our puppy dispute.:(:( so now my family ask me advise about breeders and so on but they know that they can't not even ask for one of my pups, is a Rule of my house. I rather give advise than get into another family puppy problem.
Best of luck to you.....

Wow...nothing like airing dirty laundry, eh? :p

:D BamaFan When I'm looking through the forums, if I see your name as the last poster, I cant help but read it. HA

To the OP...although your obviously very upset, its probably not a good idea to post it on a forum cuz when the other person stumbles across it, its gonna had fuel to the fire.

I am guilty too of airing dirty laundry from time to time too..but I really try hard not to cuz when all is said and done and want to forget, you really cant forget cuz someone will go reply to that thread and bring it back up again.

I think what they call this is "tit for tat"...:cool:

Also another tip...don't employ friends or relatives...firing them usually doesn't go over so well when the holidays roll along...lol! :rolleyes::D

LOL...thanks! (I think...;))

haha can almost bet that when Bama replies to a thread--its pretty darn interesting

Lmbo....
