Yes!!! Tell it.
A client years ago called. She was being sued. It seemed she had sold a half
interest on her dog, and the man who bought the interest was not satisfied
with the stud fees he was getting. The dog did finish, but he couldn't figure
out why he was only getting half of ten or so stud fees a year. This dog was
the love of her life, and after the years, she was being sued to give up her
dog.
He actually filed a law suit, and the plaintiff claimed the owners were
given the dog, and then sold him, the plaintiff, , (for money) a half
interest.
He also, through his attorney didn't understand why the bitches didn't pay to
be bred and yet the dog was getting paid. The attorney had no idea what the
dog world was about, and when he set depositions, I attended while my clients
ended up in tears before the depositions were over. They had answered
interrogatories, had produced documents, and spent the year in litigation and
fear
they might lose their best friend.
We approached trial, and at the last minute settled the case. The Plaintiff
wanted to get off the dog, so he gave up his interest, in return he got a
puppy, and the promise of another puppy in the future. We got it settled
about
a month before the national.
The poor dog involved was eight years old by then, but the owners wanted to
show him one more time, since he was the house dog, lived inside, and was the
most important dog in their lives. So, they entered him at the national, as
the sole owners for the first time that year.
That was the year Crunch went Grand Victor, and I didn't stop grinning for
ten weeks. Cappy and Gloria had to go through a year of litigation to prove
what a great dog they had.
The Plaintiff was at the national and had enough class to congratulate them,
but I am not sure he meant it. He didn't own a Grand Victor. Cappy and
Gloria did!
It remains one of my most satisfying wins.
