Well since you asked, and I am not making light of your situation...when ever you don't have to co-own..... don't...and I co-own dogs with some great people...but given a choice...I would rather not co-own....Ed Ketlyngsd@xxxxxxx wrote: Listers I want to say something. I have tried co owning very nice promising show dogs out to help get my lines noticed. I have trusted people only to be lied to, lied on, or stabbed in the back. Now i have a situation to top it all off. I microchip all my dogs. and my co own dogs i microchip under my name only. Well to make a long story short. I trusted a woman here in Indiana to a gorgeous show male that has taken best opposite sex puppy. Well this lady was up and down showing and saying i cant afford it or the handler is screwing me over etc. so she has him x rayed well he is good so no reason to return right...ok....well all she wanted to do was breed him....so then she says i have bred him and got no puppies. i said have him checked and send me paperwork....what she wanted me to do was sign off him...which i refused to do without any paperwork stating that the dog was not breedable due to low sperm count or such. well..........i got a phone call today from a local vet. that vet informed me that they were looking for information regaurding microchip information on this dog.....i said that dog is my dog. well it turns out the lady i trusted him with to co own and show this beautiful dog gave him to someone else...they moved him around and around then on may 15 they nuetered this very nice show male. and i was contacted today and he was returned to me....of course no mention of him being nuetered when they dropped him off just left him on my door step with a bag of food and his vet paper showing he was nuetered on may 15. the dog is horribly emmaciated and i am pissed. i was wondering if there is anyone that can tell me what i can do about this on the co owner of the dog. thanks for any information tammy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
