Vicki Sorry for your loss and thank you for giving Sassy the time and love to live out her natural life. As for the breeder ... What goes around, comes around! Maybe it's time to stop protecting breeders that turn their backs. When known, list the sire and damn or a tattoo number or the info from the micro chip.

Sassy was one of the rescue dogs I had here, she died from vestibular disease and was totally blind.~~Sassy has a story I would like to tell in her memory.... Sassy was turned into the dog pound in Butler, Indiana in 2008 by her previous owners along with another male they had. Both dogs where bought as show dogs with very nice pedigrees. The dog pound called both breeders listed on the AKC papers and luckily the male's breeder helped him get out from being put to sleep. Sassy's breeder was notified too, but they where to busy getting ready to go to Florida to be bothered with her. When I was helping Last Hope Safe Haven we where notified about Sassy and I said I would take her. Jodi & Tom Bobin offered to drive from Pennsylvania to the Ohio/Indiana border to pick her up and bring her to me. Sassy was going blind at the time and was totally blind by the time she was 11, but got around really good. Sassy lived with me from March 2008 till today... I think it is wrong for a breeder to ignore a call about one of their own that is going to be put to sleep because no one wants her....shame on you.... Good bye Sassy; I cared about you & will miss you.... ~Vicki Von Charisma German Shepherds www.voncharismags.com My sunshine does not come from the skies, It comes from the love in my dogs eyes.
