Hi Al, The top show puppy was sold to you after your agent and good friend Tami Howard came here and told you to buy this puppy. I will forward your post that went to the list about how thrilled you were with this super puppy to anyone that would like to see it. You wrote a e-mail saying what you wanted if she didn't turn out, which was a replacement and that was agreed upon by me. I will forward a copy of that to anyone that would like to see that also. You have been offered pick bitch in a litter that I have right now. Not all puppies turn out and I am following through with what I agreed on. The puppy was returned to me skin and bones in a crate that was so chewed up the door had to be tied on with cable ties.

It turned out to be pet quality. The breeder, member of the Breeders Code, did not provide me with a contract in indisputable violation of the code. Now that breeder does not want to refund my money. There is no doubt that ALL these breeders care about is $$$$$$$$$$$$. They are killing the sport. And we all need to take issue with it. I am preparing a formal complaint for the GSDCA now as we speak. Lew has promised to write an article on next month's Review about the problem. These selfish breeders get away with it because the GSDCA 's General Ethics Committee is not effective. More people need to write board members asking the club to monitor such unethical breeders. Get as many people to write to the board in support of expelling members of the Breeder's Code that violate its rules. Write to me privately.............
