1st time BREEDER

[Nancy1999]

You know all this talk of suing makes me really angry. Can you sue someone who threatens to sue you? I mean isn't this itself some form of harassment? Someone on this forum called me a "Well known troublemaker" and said that she could sue me too, I can't quote it exactly because it was deleted, but not before many had read it, and I never got a chance to explain my side of the story.
Someone not familiar with the background might think I was much more involved than I actually was, and it bothers me to have people threatening to sue me, and calling ME a troublemaker. I am an advocate for good breeding, but I don't make trouble for people, they make it for themselves.

Here's the post I wrote, and see for yourself if you think it's libelous.

This thread brings up an important point; I see so many breeders here selling breeding dogs on open registration (with breeding rights). A breeder who sells on open registration must thoroughly know their lines, and that means breeding for YEARS and keeping in close contact with all the pet families. From what I understand, a breeder should not sell a dog with open fontal as a breeding dog, and it should be placed with a family that knows how to care for this condition. A breeder, who produced more than one dog with this condition, needs to reevaluate their breeding program. Renee, I thoroughly agree with you about doing your research, and that’s why I always recommend buying a dog that is 6 months or more of age from proven lines. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...-terriers.html

To my reading, Nancy, absolutely nothing in your post is even remotely defamatory.

Nothing wrong in Nancy's post. However, the threat was made, several saw it before it was deleted.

Cathy,

I bet it does bring back memories and I'm sure you know what each one means backward and forward......and how to argue/defend/prosecute them in court.
