@sharronhurlbut:

I hope Terri hears of this b and contacts them asap.
I posted this info to BRAT in Ca. so hopefully, someone will go get her soon.

If you posted to BRAT, I hope if they hear they call Terri?… I have my doubts

[sharronhurlbut]

Pat, we are mandated to contact the known breeders and if a BRAT rep feels they shouldn't, they have to present a very strong case to the board.
We do try very hard to get dogs back to known breeders.
As most breeders want to know and will take the dogs back, its a win/win for everyone.

Oh, 2 posts, sorry about that.

Yes, I know that, however there has been times when they have not because the breeder uses a kennel situation… which Terri does... and I don't believe that is BRAT's choice to decide or the person giving up the dog. Just an opinion... and an observation from past experience

I did send an email to the person that placed the ad with Terri's contact information

Pat, I sent you their direct email too - hope it all works out.

[sharronhurlbut]

The Ca BRAT folks are working on this as well, so hopefully we will have some word soon.
I don't know Terri, but in my experence , the only time BRAT has not returned a dog to a breeder is when its a known puppymiller.
I am assuming Terri doesn't fall into this catagory.
I know some of the larger breeders do use kennels…

Pat, did you tell Terri one of her dogs might be given away free?

As I said that I would before, I left Terri a message and email the person with the dog with Terri's infomation for them to contact Terri directly since there was no phone number. Terri doesn't do email very often.

Thanks, got it and emailed them directly with Terri's information to contact and also the other person in Livermore that might have been the breeder.

[sharronhurlbut]

Just knowing folks who get rid of b's without contacting the breeders, mostly, they don't bother …or say they did when they didn't.
That is why I asked.
I can't tell you how many times I have found out who the breeder is, and asked the sellers if they contacted the breeder and they say "yes, but they wouldn't help".
Course, when I call the breeder, they had no idea their dog was at risk.

I have heard back from the people that have this bitch.. she is not Bushbabies…. so hopefully BRAT will contact them....

[tanza]

I should qualify that, at least not close up…. as in Parents or Grandparents...

[sharronhurlbut]

Any breeder info you can give me off line can be helpful.
I am assuming its not a BCOA member??

They don't remember the name but it was two guys from the city who have since split up… so I am going to guess a BYB... that maybe had a "opps" breeding... and sold the pups

If you can get the full pedigree information, you might want to contact Sally Wallis who maintains the pedigree website. In her personal database she does collect breeder information when available. So she may have at least the names of the breeders and may be able to give them to you.
