OK guys. I got this email and I am just going to sent it on to you so you can read it also. I am tired of being shot as the messenger.
Thanks Cathy Cathy, > Please let your "friends" know that I did raise pomeranians at one > time but I have not owned any for at least 2 1/2 years. The website > for that has not been operational for a very long time. I also told > you that years ago my ex-husband and I bred weims and that he was the > one who hunted with them. The only dogs I own are Cavaliers and that > is all you will find here other then my daughters shep mix (and an > occasional rescue waiting for placement).The great dane was not blind > but deaf as your friend should have known because it was listed on a > deaf dog site. As I explained to you before, I have been involved in > the rescue of dogs for many years and the great dane was one of them. > I enrolled him in a wonderful obedience class (paid for out of my own > pocket) and then placed him through that site with a qualified home. > He was placed in Ohio with an experienced deaf dog owner (at no > charge) and is now a therapy dog. I guess I must be a horrible > person for saving a beautiful dog that the breeder wanted their vet to > put down just because he could not hear.I know you will all keep your > opinions that I am a puppymiller, but that is your ignorance, not > mine. I admitted to my ignorance that the photos I pulled from a > freeware site were copyrighted by you. "My" dogs are not the rescued > ones - the rescues are almost always placed in fostor homes as I will > not jeopardize my dogs health by bringing into my home "unknown" > health problems. I do not breed these dogs and they are always > spayed/neutered before being placed. I happen to love Cavaliers over > any other breed and my dogs are probably more pampered than alot of > the "show" dogs who are kenneled at home and crated on the road. They > receive regular vet care, health testing and lots of love. They have > a beautiful fenced in yard that they can play in whenever they want, > they play with the children in the park, travel with us wherever we go > and are very happy, loved dogs. I do not breed first heats, nor every > heat. My puppies always have a valid health certificate before they > leave here and a one year guarantee against congenital defects. I > have never had any complaints about any puppies that I have sold or > any placed rescue dogs. I am not an "ignorant" breeder - I know the > standards and I know what is unacceptable in the breed. I do not own > Cavaliers with "long noses" or other blatant faults. Do my dogs have > slighter faults? - you bet and I am sure yours do too because I have > yet to see a truly "perfect" dog of any breed. But the faults my dogs > have are slight and I breed to improve them, not accentuate them - > like any other ethical breeder. I find it distressing that many of > the names that are appearing on the nasty emails are from breeders who > portray themselves as "the best of the best", but are some of the same > breeders who wouldn't give me the decency of a reply when I had > emailed them with questions 2-3 years ago. I had my Mother email me a > photo of my tri that was taken a year ago. I am attaching it here so > you can see one of my Cavaliers since everyone is all upset because > there are no posted pics of my dogs. I had many photos saved on my > computer, but when it crashed I lost it all. Thank goodness my mother > deletes nothing. I have also included a scan of my computer repair > bill to prove that my pc crashed. As you can see on the botton it > says "configure customer supplied hard drive. Partition and format > drive.Run recovery disk for PC and verify settings." I have nothing > to hide. I relied on a friend (who has done other webpages) to > determine the setup of mine. I was not aware that all > freeware/shareware sites are not legitimite and have learned my lesson > on that one. I am not a puppymiller or ignorant breeder and I am > really tired of my daughter's reading disturbing emails. You (and > your friends) will think what you like without finding out the facts > and you will have to live with that. Cathy, I give you alot of credit > because you did exactly what I would have done - phone the person > directly to find out what is really going on instead of just spreading > lies. I appreciate that very much, but my faith in the "best of the > best" breeders is gone.
