Returning a dog to the breeder - Questions/Rant
- Thread starter Teal
- Start date
Isn't it funny how NONE of those people have ever MET me OR seen my dogs IN PERSON? It's all internet drama.
I posted all the photos I could find. I had to do some MacGyver (isn't that the name or whatever?) work to get my old computer fired up long enough to get the photos uploaded to Photobucket. Pictures I had of him on my cell phone were lost when he phone died.
Do I have anything from the vet with a date on it? Not right now I don't, it's 10 pm.! Like I said - I got a message saying I should come defend myself AGAIN because Courtney was attacking me AGAIN.
RC talks to ANYONE I get a dog from, and tells them what a "horrible" person I am. At one point, her and I were friends. Or so I thought. Apparently, that was her just collecting information to use against me later.
I didn't take those pictures... I wasn't there when they were taken either. I don't know what happened to that dog once he got into the breeder's truck and she drove out of my yard.
To sum it up - I returned a puppy to his breeder, and now a year later I'm being accused of abusing and neglecting him.
I've given Courtney a lot of her intel through several of the emails I received when telling my friends I was considering placing a dog with her and also by my whoopin' 10 minutes of googling her forum name, her real name, and her kennel name. It's not easy to hide these days and frankly, like she said, she doesn't try to.
I have no personal vendetta but what I do have is a lot of questions. Many of her answers leave me a bit discomforted. Many make me wonder. Right or wrong I would like to know, thus the googling.
I will also say Courtney and I did not get along when we first met, I've also looked into her and frankly I've not found anything exciting aside from the dramatic hearsay between her and an old roommate. I'll be honest, I've had some nasty drag down fights with my old roommates, I'm not sure they would praise me either.

Yes, I would still want to see the original date of the pictures. A puppy can not get emaciated in just two days.
And I still believe that a reputable breeder is not going to blatantly lie and accuse someone so publicly, just think all the legal trouble she could get herself into.
Teal, could you post original photos of vet records? Not scans, just pictures of the vet records?
And please explain to me, in your opinion what happened to the puppy? And how did he get emaciated in just two days? How did he get in that condition? In your opinion, why would a known breeder blatantly lie?

I uploaded them from my old computer to Photobucket TODAY, yes. That's all the "editing" that was done. They went straight from my "Collin 2011" file on my old computer, to my TealJai2011 Photobucket account, then straight to here without any editing or anything inbetween.
I've had this computer since... April? Maybe? of this year. It's been over a year since I returned the puppy.
If you have so many questions, let's hear em.
Oh wait, you won't ask... because you're more interested in being a dramatic liar and gossiper than knowing the TRUTH about someone.
I'm just really struggling to understand how you returned the puppy to the breeder in "good condition" (which sorry, like others, I'm not seeing in your final pictures) and a few days later he looks like he does in those pictures.
Yet you aren't saying that she photoshopped/staged/faked the photos or underfed the puppy herself? It just... doesn't make sense. Something had to have happened.

I've asked and I am sure you have answered some but I can't keep all of your dogs straight.
I guess I just don't understand people who bring in dogs as "if it works out I'll keep it, if not I'll call it retrospectively a foster and rehome it." I think that could answer a lot of the questions and the reason I am so uncomfortable with your method.
I also don't know that I can ever understand just letting a dog die at home because you were so sure it wouldn't be worth trying to make it to the vet. Maybe in a different lifetime I will know but as it is now I am really upset and confused by it.

Semantics? No, it's called proper sentence structure and applying a quote to context.
I have smacked my dog (Chevelle) with the leash before. (When she was about 4 months...now she is 18 months.)
I have popped my dog (Malyk) on the nose (with my hand) before to get his attention.
Never have I popped my dog on the nose with the leash. So, before someone makes an accusation, they should get their **** straight.
