Subject: IABCA and Int'l Dog Shows: Fraudulent National Title Diploms



Note: Only International All Breed Canine Association National Titles signed Gayle Pruett and/or Myrna Torres are affected by this problem so far.


Warning to All Biewer Breeders and Owners:

It has recently been brought to our attention by several Biewer owners that there are some “National” Titles issued to Biewer owners that contain false information. It appears there are some National titles issued to Dogs under the heading of International All Breed Canine Association of America, having the Logo of International All Breed Canine Association of America (IABCA) and the UCI logo. The problem is that it appears the titles are signed listing Gayle Pruett as the President of IABCA and Myrna Torres as Secretary of IABCA. This is incorrect and people getting such titles have been misled. In fact, neither woman has ever worked for IABCA, nor have they ever been an officer of IABCA. Therefore any National Title with International All Breed Canine Association of America heading that is signed with the two above mentioned women are not valid titles. Again, to identify these titles make sure the top of the title states International All Breed Canine Assoc. of America and carries the IABCA logo, and is signed naming either person (Gayle or Myrna) as IABCA President and/or Secretary.

There appears to be an additional problem with some of these titles. They seem to have also been issued incorrectly. It appears that puppies have been issued the adult National IABCA title. Puppies cannot be issued the adult titles. There are puppy National titles that are issued corresponding to their age at time of earning said title. The puppy titles clearly state National Baby; or National Jungsten; or National Jugend and National Junghund. Not just the word National Title Diplom. If your National Title from IABCA is signed by Jeff Bridegum as President and Brooke Bridegum as Secretary there is no problem. These titles are valid.

Investigation:
We at the IABCA are investigating the problem and what actions need to be taken. We need to know if there are others involved in the issuing of these false and incorrect titles. If you have any information regarding this matter we would appreciate your contacting the IABCA either by email (by replying to this letter) or by phone to Deb Bridegum at (503) 580-1838.

Solution: We do not want our exhibitors to be left holding an invalid title. If you hold one of these problematic National Titles wrongfully issued from someone other than IABCA, signed by Gayle Pruett and/or Myrna, IABCA intends to help you correct this problem.

Replacement of fraudulent titles:
IABCA will help you correct the problem title. You will need to send the original false title to us at IABCA:

IABCA
4742 Liberty Rd. S #159
Salem, Oregon 97302

.


You will also need to send $10.00 to have your title replaced. (You need to keep a copy of the incorrect title for further actions, you must send us the original.) We will then issue valid and correct National Titles and the appropriate National Puppy Titles.

We hope that the wronged exhibitors are able to receive a refund from those that issued the invalid IABCA National Titles. If you wish a letter from IABCA stating your title was wrongly issued we will be happy to provide one once we receive the original invalid National Title signed Gayle Pruett and/or Myrna Torres.

NOTE: This E-mail was sent to current members showing at IABCA. If you are showing, or know someone who might not now be showing please advise them of this problem.

Thank you.

Bump!

This applies to any rare breed show exhibitors who have shown with IABCA in the last year or so.

This was done by the Biewer Terrier club president and secretary. BTCA. They lied about show champions and put titles on dogs sell puppies and to make their club look legitimate.
Absolutely shameful. Gayle Pruett has done nothing positive for the Biewers, all she has accomplished is to discredit the breed.

Deb are you talking about the DR.

[Breezeaway]

DVM Gayle Pruett? LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

[scrapindee]

She is not a DVM. She is not a Doctor of anything. If she identifies herself as one, that would be fradulent.

The email below shows where Gayle posed as a veterinarian to the Mars company. It is so sad that someone would stoop this low.

Please let me introduce myself – I am the Technical Support and Research and Development Manager for Mars Veterinary and I have recently moved into this role to replace Dr Paul Jones who has moved on to other projects within the company. I am contacting you on behalf of Mars Veterinary as I have been given your contact information regarding your recent correspondence with our customer care team.
From that correspondence I believe that you have previously sent us some Biewer Terrier blood samples (specifically XXXXXXXXXX and XXXXX), that Paul used in the research project he has been co-ordinating with Dr Gayle Pruett DVM and the Biewer Terrier breed club. It would appear from your e-mail that for some reason that Paul has not sent you a Wisdom Panel report for each of the submitted samples. I apologize for this oversight and am very happy to resolve this situation as efficiently as possible.



I will attempt to contact Paul today and discover where the sample data for this research project is and the status of it, and should be able to return a report a electronic copy of the report to you as soon as I locate the data. Being an R&D sample it is not in our normal commercial database and so our research archive will need to be searched. Unfortunately being the holiday period our team is mostly on vacation now and therefore it may take me longer than I would normally locate to find the data (I am currently travelling).



Please do not contact me if you have any further questions with regards to the Wisdom Panel MX analysis.



Yours faithfully

Dr. Neale Fretwell

Technical Support Manager,

Mars Veterinary.

Caught with hand in cookie jar.

Fabulous... just fabulous!! I feel sorry for those owners who have been scammed. It makes us ALL look suspicious. How are new owners suppose to trust any of us? It's sad. Lying always has a way of catching up to you, but I hate how it affects our Biewers and good people who want to support them.

[Amoureux]

I agree it is sad and is very bad for our breed. SHAME ON THEM!!!!!

[IRMaxine]

Right about now all of the members of the BTCA should be having an emergency meeting to decide if they want to try to save the BTCA by requesting that Gayle Pruett, Myrna Torres and her coharts resign from the BTCA club period. They have used this club for their own selfish benefit from the very get go. They have hurt and tried to destroy an awful lot of good sincere people that they thought got in their way, honest breeders and just innocent people interested in this new breed. People that are honestly trying to establish this new breed and get it recognized by the AKC and the general public. They have done more damage by their own behavior to this new breed than any group. They have lied, manufactured stories, been rude and obnoxius to innocent people just asking simple questions about the Biewers. They have tried to destroy certain blood lines in the breeding program.

Now is the time for all the people that have been hurt or damaged by the BTCA and its President to come forward and again be heard. To fully investigate any thing that has been initiated by the BTCA and its President. If she has been dishonest about issuing the IABCA certificate, then all other information/programs started by her should now be questioned, especially anything involved in sending money to her.

BTCA members you are judged by the company you keep!!! If Ms. Pruett refuses to resign from the club then I would want to disassociate myself from her and the club as soon as possible.
This snowball has just begun to roll downhill.

Interesting!

I was at an Vet. Conference here in Orlando and met with The Mars people and was info by the Vet. manning the booth that he was working very closely with Dr Gayle Pruett.. I personally have been lied to and used by the BTCA and paid monies and donations for their rescue and to their Registry for one of my Biewers. I wonder how many others she has dupe in the name of a love for the breed?? Man Karma is a B***H! I hope they all finally get their rewards.. I pray that the innocent are taken care of. I was taken in for awhile.. I know personally how easier they can manipulate trusting people. I hope the Biewer Breeders will not be confused by the Terrier breeders after all they said it was a different breed than ours!! Shame on you both Shame. How could you do this. Was it greed or being known? Well you are known now!! Too bad, I'm sure in the beginning you were both wanting to help but it just got to big for you all to control or was it just losing your patience that pushed you to do this to everyone.
