Returning a dog to the breeder - Questions/Rant

[Teal]

Well I missed SevenSins' post about fixing the time stamps. Not surprising.

Now that I have a killer migraine from the stress of dealing with you insane internet people for hours on end, this apparent animal abuser/neglector (which isn't a word, says my spell check)/"whatever the hell else I am" is going to attempt to find a spot in my bed that three of my poor, neglected, abused dogs took over because their own leather couch, futon, and all the dog beds weren't good enough

^ Those poor, horrible abused dogs, getting everything they need, a comfy comfy bed, many other choices of sleep spots.. And when they rise, I'm sure plenty of fun will follow.

Mine get to sleep in their kennels without blankets. And in the morning I take them outside and Baloo is tied outside until its time for food... The horror.

[TahlzK]

^ That is so cruel!

My poor didlims get the choice between the futon, chair, a crate, three dog beds... But the bed is off limits most nights, lol.

Then the evil one gets tied up for 8 hours!

If I'm mean enough I'll allow them on the bed..

Oh wow... 42 pages?!?! Amazing.

I love your dogs Teal. they're gorgeous and always look in top condition. Lean? Maybe. But the average dog owner keeps their dogs obese from day one... and the poor dogs suffer for it. Working at a pet hotel I saw many puppies go from nice and lean to painfully thin within a couple days, just due to stress and not eating. I'm not excusing the pictures of Bullseye, but I cannot believe that Teal intentionally starved that puppy. He looks happy and beautiful in all of her pictures.

I find it really creepy that 42 pages have been dedicated to bullying and making personal attacks on Teal. When she gets charged with animal cruelty, lmk. Otherwise this to me is simply a case of someone being nosey and a breeder getting defensive and trying to defend their name/dogs by making Teal look bad. :/

Teal, you just can't win with some people. They were berating you in the first place for returning a puppy who didn't suit you... OF COURSE when they find pictures of a skinny puppy it turns into a field day! I love Chaz but it's really redundant and hurtful when a thread turns into a virtual gangbang.

So I'm still wondering....

Is the skinny puppy in the pics the pup that you had possession of?
Did he look like that when he left your care? If not, what exactly was his body condition?

When people care about what they are talking about things often get heated. I have no real opinion of any of this other than that puppy looks terrible in the breeders pictures of it and whoever did that to him in my opinion should NOT be caring for any other living being. Neglect is abuse and being able to allow an animal to get to that condition does not happen over night. I fear for the safety of any living being subject to the risk of being taken care of by whatever human allowed it as well as said person's mental health.

However, I don't know enough background or anyone involved to get out my torch and pitchfork. As someone who doesn't know anything really about the OP its hard to th ink you'd even send a dog back to a breeder looking that rough. Why not just let it pass on? But why the heck would a breeder do that to her dogs when her reputation would be on the line, have it go public and have even more attention drawn to the fact? Too confusing for my preggo brain to keep up with.

I know you like stuff being directly quoted.

I don't even know what to make of this thread.

After reading through some of it... I don't believe for a second that the breeder of that Fila puppy OR Red Chrome would spend so much time and effort into manipulating photos just to make a puppy buyer look bad. Seems like a lot is going on behind this drama.
