Randy's breeder and I have become good friends and have kept in touch. For some reason I have had Randy on my mind lately, so I sent her an e-mail to see how things were going and just to reflect on all that happened.
She tells me that several weeks ago she got a 20 month old female back from the owner because she attacked a small dog while on vacation and felt like she couldn't be trusted and didn't want to deal with it. That was her second owner.
Now for the story on the first owner..
The female was sold at 10 weeks as show potential in a home that wanted to get into showing and said all the right things. Long story short at nine months old they called the breeder to say they wanted to sell her cause it was to much work. The breeder ended up getting her back in a mess, and later found out that they kept her in the back yard with a brussels griffon separate by a fence. So breeder gets her back keeps her for two months getting her socialized and healthy and finds her the home that now has given her back. So SAD....
She is spade, housebroken, crate-trained, good with children and big dogs. She does have a high prey drive. I am still getting more details.
I told her I would help try and find her the right home. She has been through alot and needs someone that has the time to spend with her and that won't give up on her.
This really blows my mind. I could never imagine returning a dog over something like that.
Well I was thinking about my home...................
