Have any of you ever heard of a breeder named Cindy Clausen, in the PNW?

Okay,
There's a woman in my area selling her 3 yo boy due to a change in family status, and the breeder listed on the paperwork is Cindy Clausen. The owner doesn't have a lot more info – nor do I as I only spoke briefly with her on the phone -- because the dog was purchased at a {dirty little} farm/pet supply place in a nearby town.
Just hoping someone knew of the breeder...... -

Makes me curious… but this says she is/was in KS and we are in WA. Not that it couldn't be the same lady.....
I'm going to keep digging here; thanks.

I don't know if it is the same lady…
I just googled: Cindy Claesen basenji: no hits
and then: Cindy Claesen puppies.. -

The dog came from Farmland, a pet store that sells companion animals.
SIGH!
I do believe this is the KS basenji.
I called as this b is for sale in the local paper.
They want to "recoop" some of the $$ they spent to get him.
So, I left my phone number, BRAT info and asked them please to give my contact info to the folks they sell the basenji to..
Sigh. -

Yup, sound to me the pup came from a puppymiller in KS…. I would guess the same person.. and the pet store got the pup/pups they sell from this person...

ARGH!!! I really HATE this store. It is very small, dirty, over-crowded inside and out with all kinds of stuff – from farm supplies to picnic tables. I went inside once to buy some crickets for a frog we had, and was claustrophobic as soon as I went in. They have a sign outside that always has a list of puppies available, always a multitude of breeds.
When the woman told me she got the dog there 3 yrs ago, my heart sank.Man, I hope the right person calls her about this dog. From her description, he sounds like a really great pet.

I am hoping they will decide to turn him over to BRAT.
Fingers crossed, that will be what happens.
I also wish we could get that place shut down.
I know the Humane society is over there a lot! -

I've been wracking my brain - -how can I scare up $400 to buy him and turn him over, but….. there's just no way.
I know many of you see and deal with such things regularly, esp. those involved in rescue, but this is the first time I've had one so close and it is B-U-G-G-I-N-G
me that I can't help this dog find a great forever home.:( -

I'm so happy that it isn't allowed in the Netherlands to sell puppies in petstores.. (not that there aren't puppymills… :mad: )

We just had a friend die and instead of flowers, they requested that a donation be made to a cause relating to animals. So…I'll donate $50 also.

I guess this means we only need $300 more to get this dog out of hock.
After seeing the Oprah show, it's REALLY hard for me to not go out there and start adopting every dog I see. However, I simply don't have the resources at this time but rest assured, when I DO have the resources I'll have a backyard full of B's! I have $50 bucks, though, so I'll happily donate to the cause of getting this dog into BRAT's hands.

Well, don't forget me!! I can kick in $50. So that is $150…but by the time we trickle up to $400, he may be gone....or maybe, just maybe she will have called Sharron back and turned him over!! {fingers and toes all crossed!}
