One of the admins I work with raised Danes. He had a particular high ranked Dane during the time he and his wife got a diovorce. She knew how much he loved the dog, so she got it in the settlement. On the way home she pulled over on the side of the highway and let the dog out. You can figure out the rest... You can be a very responsible breeder, you just can't predict the actions of others.

I agree, DON"T point fingers before you know the facts. I sold a Cairn Terrier years ago to a lady that even had it in her will that all dogs she bought were to go back to their breeders and she had a friend lined up to place the ones she bred. To make a long story short. The lady died. Her kids came in and took ALL the dogs and had them put down. The bitch she got from me was only 2 years old. House broke and a wonderful pet. The kid's never liked that she ran a boarding kennel and raised Cairns and Deerhounds. So they did it for spite. Other cases are nasty divorce's. Husband doesn't want wife to have the dog she loves, so he takes it to a shelter out of town so she can't find it. The breeder has no way of knowing these things or controlling. I love my dogs and the business I'm in, unfortunately we sometimes have to deal with people. As we all know people are not near as honest and loyal as our trusted companions.
