> List, > I am posting the email below especially for our foreign List members, to be forewarned about this new upcoming dealer/broker/importer, should he contact you! I think it is just awful that this is happening more and more in the USA these days, and I think, we should try to stop puppy farmers (in Europe) from breeding hundreds of puppies to export to the USA. Mind you, I wish there was something we could do about the puppy farmers over here too! > Here is the email from: > Justin Swinney > P.O. Box 68 > Lane > Oklahoma > U.S.A. > 74555 > 1-580-889-6875 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > My family has just finished building a beautiful new kennel facility on our farm in the state of Oklahoma. We have been asked by many of our clients about Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. We are currently looking for a source from which to import them. Our clients expect only top quality dogs. They must qualify for registration with the American Kennel Club (Some European clubs are acceptable). > Could you please send information about exporting Cavalier adults and puppies to the U.S.A? Please include information about pricing, cost of shipping, as well as which kennel club the dogs are registered with. Thank you." > ***************************** > Below is my email to them, in the hope that this might stop them from searching further. > Sir, > it has come to my attention that you are seeking to import Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for resale in the USA. You mentioned that you have 'clients who look for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies'. As there are plenty of reputable and ethical breeders already in existence in the United States, there is no reason for you to start importing inferior puppy farmed puppies, nor adults, from anywhere in Europe, just to make money. Instead, you could direct your 'clients' to these breeders. > The puppies (or adults) you would be sold from Europe, would more than likely come from untested stock, barely resembling the breed standard, and most likely will come from unreputable sources in Europe. No ethical and reputable breeder in Europe nor in the United States would think about selling puppies to a broker/dealer/importer, which is what you are. > I would like to ask you to please refrain from importing Cavaliers - adults or puppies - for resale or indiscriminate breeding into the USA and rather direct your efforts somewhere else. > Sincerely, > ********************************* ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
