your absolutely right! While you should take time, when you get it, to report this woman to the authorities, right now, your priority is the pup. You just keep doing what you have been doing....she has her best chance with you. As for the breeder, my suggestion would be to call one of several places...local animal control, local humane society or ASPCA, or if those are not available or not helpful, then the local prosecuting attorney/county attorney. Don't bother calling the regular police, they have too many human issues to deal with to focus on the animal issues. These animal focused groups should be able to get the ball rolling if there have been any laws broken. I don't know OK law, so I don't know if any laws have been broken. It may be that everyone;s hands are tied and there is nothing that can be done. Even if that is the case, maybe it will at least put people on notice of her actions for future references.

As far as giving her to my mother for a gift, I still plan on doing that. I have 20 days with this puppy before I will see my mother again. She is a challenge for me but you know what I think she came to me for a reason and granted by the time I give her to my mom she may think she is more human then dog due to me a human being her mom, but I will do my best, I know she is loved and is going to the best home a dog could ever ask for. She doesn't have the option of going back to her mother, nor do I know anyone who has a dog that has just had puppies. So we are in this for the long haul. Do I agree that this woman needs to be taken out back and beaten with a stick ABSOLUTELY!!! I don't know the laws in Oklahoma, there is probably nothing I can do, but if she needed the money so badly that she was willing to give Gerty up at such a young age, well then by God we are going to make it work. She is missing a tip of her ear being in this womans care at least here with me she is warm, getting good food and love. She isn't going to be bred so I don't care about her papers. I care that she makes it to 5 weeks old then to 6 and so on. I know what this woman did was wrong, immoral, unethical and a few other words that I am sure would be edited out if I used them. I am just trying to find support for the stutation that I am in. Gerty is top priority now, I will look into having her shut down, but that is second to making sure that Gerty gets bigger and stronger. I won't let this go. I have documentation of how old Gerty was when I got her, I took her to the vet as soon as I got her. So I have someone to back me up. If anyone out there knows the law in Oklahoma about the release of puppies please share it with me. I don't mean to rant or rave but I do understand that she was to little to come home with me that is hindsight, now the focus is getting her bigger and stronger and semi dogish. --- In [email protected], "Chin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Back Yard Breeder!!!! > > It hurts the dog.
